Rick Ross is lyrically better than Snoop dogg ever was

[papa-smurf]

LMAO.snoop still is better then rick tross & its no way rick ross flow could touch the way snoop use 2 rap.
so u saying riick ross albums is better then doggy style? & rick ross rap better then snopp dureing his doggy style days?LMAO.but everybody is entitled 2 they own opion.some one could say a goat rap better then rick ross but it dont mean its a fact.

like I said, come up with a recent Snoop Dogg verse that is better than Ricky on Devil in a New Dress? If you can't you automatically lose.

Like i said.u have 2 compare first albums with first albums.u cant compare snoop a guy that been in the game fo like 20 years 2 a new artist.u have 2 compare snoop when he first came out 2 rick ross & compare whatever album rick ross drop 20 years from now 2 dogumentary.so snoop win.doggy style is better then anything rick ross put out.

So you lose then. I knew you couldn't.

NO u lose.

Lookin’ at my bitch I bet she give your ass a bone
Lookin’ at my wrist it’ll turn your ass to stone
Stretch limousine sippin’ Rose all along
Double-headed monster with a mind of his own
Cherry red chariot excess is just my character
All black tux nigga the shoes lavender
I never needed acceptance from all you outsiders
Had cyphers with Yeezy before his mouth wired
Before his jaw shattered climbin’ up the Lord’s ladder
We still speedin’ runnin’ signs like they don’t matter
Uh hater talkin’ never made me mad
Never that when I’m in my favorite papertag
Therefore G4s at the Clearport
When it come to tools fool I’m a Pep Boy
When it came to dope I was quick to export
Never tired of ballin’ so it’s on to the next sport
New Mercedes sedan they’ll export
So many cars DMV though it was mail fraud
Different traps I was gettin’ mail from
Polk County Jacksonville rep Melbourne
Whole clique’s appetite had tapeworms
Spinnin’ Teddy Pendergrass vinyl as my jay burns
I shed a tear before the nights over
God bless the man I put this ice over
Gettin’ 2Pac money twice over
Still a real nigga red Coogi sweater dice roller
I’m makin’ love to the angel of death
Catchin’ feelings never stumble retracin’ my steps

This is whats passing as lyrical?these rhyme schemes are simple as fuck and he doesn't  have one single clever line in the entire verse  . Oh snap he rhymed over three consecutive times!!!!!! Crown this man!!!!!!

After reviewing snoop's "classic" lyrics on Doggystyle I couldn't find anything better

you've yet to post a single snoop verse. you lose.

[westside4life]

defending that snoop is lyrical is a fail in itself

[OG Jaydc]

Snoop and Ross BOTH suck lyrically. It's like comparing two pieces of shit and arguing which smells worse.Their whole careers are carried by production

[LAC/EASTSIDE]

Its not a troll thread, its a WHORE thread. Attention WHORE! Who the fuck listens to Rick Ross?

[Chamillitary Click]

I do find it kind of funny that nobody has posted a Snoop verse...

[Sikotic™]

Its not a troll thread, its a WHORE thread. Attention WHORE! Who the fuck listens to Rick Ross?

A lot more people listen to Ross than Snoop currently, but what is the point of that question? It has nothing to do with whether Ross or Snoop is the better lyricist.

[westside4life]

if snoop OR ross were lyrical beasts, then there wouldnt be no argument

[OG Hack Wilson]

remember when Rick Ross wrote songs like Poor Young Dave or Murder Was the Case?

[Triple OG Rapsodie]

[Z the laidback Virus]

The most complex/ best Snoop rhymes you'll get were made in '96 and '97...and those were written by other people. I do think that at that stage of his career, his lyrics (even if written by someone else) were definately more impressive than his flow, which was incredibly soft, lazy and whispered. Mind you, those lyrics weren't mindblowing but better than what he's spat before or since.
To hear what I mean, take tracks like "You Thought", "Dat Whoopty Woop","Only In California". The one title I can think off from that time when he spat both good lyrics and had a good flow is "Downtown Assassins".   

[Tutlock]

LMAO, i thought only kids listen to rick ross, hes jus a puppet built for mainstream....souljha boy Youuuuuuu  !

and what makes snoop different ?

[UCC]

These are two very different types of MCs though...

Snoop is all about the way he uses his voice and melody and rhythms which work with the beats he's over... there would be no point in posting a Snoop verse on a message board because words on the screen totally miss what Snoop excels in - which is being all dope with the voice and melody and smooth rhythms. He never does much with the content and his rhyme schemes are simple, because his focus isn't on those things, it's on voice and rhythm.

Rick Ross is almost the opposite, he has very simple rhythms, like he's just talking slowly, but his stuff is mainly trying to do witty content, like a lot of the new MCs today. So you can probably post a Rick Ross rhyme and it will more likely look good on paper because you'll be able to read the cleverness in whichever verse, in a way you can't get with Snoop

Though, for me, Snoop is one the best MCs in his use of voice, melody, and rhythm, along with people like Slick Rick, Method Man, a few others. Within Snoop's style of rapping, he is up there with the best.
Though with Rick Ross I'd say is NOT one of the very best in his style of rapping... there are MCs with way cleverer, wittier lines - Canibus, Chino XL, Jay-Z, Papoose...etc, etc. and that is also partly because SO many MCs do the whole "witty content" thing, so there is much, much more competition in that style.

But the main thing is, you're comparing apples with oranges here, totally different styles of MCing.
