Where does Snoop go in your list of hip hop greats?

Witty · 04-11-2016, 04:17 PM

I ask because I am personally unsure...pondered it on and off for years.

Obviously he's a legend, but in terms of a list...I honestly don't know where I'd put him.

Inno · 04-11-2016, 04:28 PM

Where ever you rank cube at.... Put snoop 2 ranks ahead.

Ghost1 · 04-11-2016, 05:01 PM

Top20

Certain · 04-11-2016, 05:25 PM

Snoop Dogg at his best was better than Ice Cube. But Ice Cube was far more consistent —he's actually still really good, when he raps.

To me, they're the top two from Los Angeles.

Mr. J · 04-11-2016, 05:47 PM

25 spots higher than Pac

40 spots higher than Em

so somewhere in my top 25

Razah · 04-11-2016, 07:07 PM

I've never listened to a complete Snoop Dogg album.

*runs away*

Ghost1 · 04-11-2016, 07:19 PM

It's ok if u haven't heard doggystyle....Every1 of ur favorite rappers bit the the shit to death

Barcotic · 04-11-2016, 10:46 PM

never enjoyed him lyrically but he did have a voice n swag about him that no one could duplicate

Hush · 04-11-2016, 11:07 PM

Snoop top 10 alive arguably

jilti · 04-12-2016, 01:44 AM

1990's Young snoop was a beaasssttttt. 2000's + snoop is blah

oats · 04-12-2016, 03:08 AM

Doggystyle is arguably the best rap debut all time. As a whole, I'd put Snoop in the top 15, maybe higher. Easy to take his crossover appeal for granted, but he's a cultural icon way beyond rap.

Mr. J · 04-12-2016, 11:51 AM

Doggfather used to be in my walkman all day...

he blends with tracks so smoothly...was listening to 9mm the other day and was like yeeaaaaa

The Ultimate Hater · 04-12-2016, 01:29 PM

snoops a fucken hustla and a cultural icon..

he more than deserve his place on 'hip hop greats' lists.. even if 90% of his songs are poppy garbage these days you know hes doing what he got to do to survive n keep the cash flowing.

snoop wasn't complex like that

Ghost1 · 04-12-2016, 06:07 PM

If we take out groups and solo debuts by rappers who were in groups, I'd have it as the best non-New York debut album, probably, maybe.

These are my top 10 debut albums that fit into that category (solo rapper who wasn't previously in a group that released an album):

1. Nas, Illmatic
2. Notorious B.I.G., Ready to Die
3. Jay-Z, Reasonable Doubt
4. O.C., Word ... Life
5. Slick Rick, The Great Adventures of Slick Rick
6. Big Pun, Capital Punishment
7. Snoop Doggy Dogg, DoggyStyle
8. Young Jeezy, Let’s Get It: Thug Motivation 101
9. Redman, Whut? Thee Album
10. 50 Cent, Get Rich or Die Tryin'

(Note: I counted Infinite as Eminem's debut and Section.80 as Kendrick Lamar's debut.)

Obviously, my taste swings toward the East Coast. I don't have a problem with someone having DoggyStyle at or nearer to the top of that list. But I will say that putting DoggyStyle above The Chronic seems like a stretch.

Mr. J · 04-12-2016, 06:26 PM

Get these reps for Thug Motivation

Ghost1 · 04-12-2016, 06:47 PM

Section. 80 was dope tho....maybe not top 10 tho

Also WORD to thug motivation. That shit still slaps.
