Pop Culture Timelines Go-To Thread

- Start date
I've been thinking about derailing the feud between Jay-Z and Nas, playing around with one of the several near-misses in Kanye's move from producer to rapper, and altering the original lineup of the Wu-Tang Clan. It's all stuff that mostly affects who the big figures are, and it just feels like there are good PODs that I can't think of and might lead to changes in how the genre as a whole develops.
What about getting rapper's like Aesop Rock and Immortal Technique more exposure? I prefer more articulate and sophisticated rapper's.
It's something I'd have to do research on. Thanks for the suggestion.
I apologize for the double post. I've found a POD for a rap timeline that seems pretty interesting. At the 1994 Source Awards, Tupac accidentally insulted A Tribe Called Quest by coming onstage to perform while they were accepting an award. Busta Rhymes was able to make peace IOTL before anything happened. If he hadn't, maybe ATCQ would've gotten involved in the East Coast-West Coast feud? They were pretty popular at the time, so the war could take a very different turn from OTL. Does this sound like it could be an interesting timeline?
Well, it'll be a while before it happens. I'm going to have to find someone to collaborate with. Whatever my skills, writing good rap lyrics isn't one of them.
One more update, thread.
It's not too late, thread.
Don't forget me in your dreams.
Just one more post, thread.
I'll make the most, thread.
And they get shorter it seems.
Just one more rhyme, thread.
Yes, it's a crime, thread.
But you know time, thread.
Time can fly.
So it's goodnight, thread.
Goodnight, but not goodbye.

what about one where Run-DMC never do the collaboration with Aerosmith?
That's an interesting idea, but I'll have to leave it to someone else. I'm working on a timeline focused on the East Coast-West Coast feud, and that's my current priority.
Remember that interview format I used in the very first update of That Wacky Redhead?
I finally brought it back... for the very last update of That Wacky Redhead!
(Seriously, there's really no more after this. What the heck am I going to post in this thread about now?!)

That happens in Dirty Laundry; instead, Run-DMC team up with legendary guitarist Tony MacAlpine and change the face of rap forever.
I'd love to see what happens if a-ha capitalizes on their success in the US and becomes more than a one-hit wonder.
I've got a new popular culture-based timeline: Brightest Day for Warner Bros - A Tale of Two Franchises. The POD is a different director for 2011's Green Lantern movie. Who? We'll, you'll have to check out the thread...

The latest episode of Dirty Laundry returns to our narrative thread and follows the plucky, underfunded Congressional campaign of Donald H. Henley, having recently received a (semi-)endorsement from Rush Limbaugh, of all people. Will it be enough to put him over the top? Or will the "Satanic Panic" sweeping the nation crush the dreams of the the author and lead vocalist of "Hotel California?" There's only one way to find out!
I'm aiming for short, frequent updates, so, with that being said, I've got another update for Brightest Day for Warner Bros - A Tale of Two Franchises up.
Goldie Hawn makes her film debut and manages to later bomb her screen test for "The Graduate" over at "It Girls, Boys Next Door, Scream Queens, & Dorothy".
