I don't think whether or not he died would make much difference now, his career ran pretty similar to Vashti Bunyan's the difference is he died. Drakes more popular because he was more influential on Iron and Wine and stuff as opposed to being influence to Newsom and Banhart but the difference isn't much, he'd most likely be just as popular as he was now, probably more popular since he'd have more material.
