In 1996 Tupac Shakur was shot in a drive by shooting that almost killed him, and killed his friend Suge Knight. In our timeline Tupac survived and dedicated the rest of his life to (outside of his recording career) mending the East Coast - West Coast rap feudf (resulting in Dr Dre producing his sixth album Coming Home and the Peace Summit in St Louis), helping end gangland violence, and more recently activism in the BLM movement. However how would history of hip hop change if Tupac died in 1996.
