Would Biggie still be alive if he never became a famous rapper?

I was sitting thinking about Biggie and I was wondering if he never made it big would he still be alive. Even as a young rapper his life was in danger growing up in Brooklyn and selling drugs at a young age. So he could have gotten killed while dealing drugs but maybe not. He survived for many years while going back and forth to jail but he succumbed to the perils of the music industry. You would think the streets of Brooklyn would be more dangerous than the music industry, but in his case it wasn't like that. The music industry was more dangerous to Biggie. I wondered to myself if Biggie would have stayed rapping on the street corner and hustling he may be alive today.
