your dumbass compares kci & jojo to backstreet boys...how can i lose?

You brought up Backstreet Boys not me. Val Young = dance pop. Madonna = pop. You can't argue what's right in front of you.


look at the artists snoop has worked with...look at the video i posted. that is nothing comparable to anything pac has ever done. to argue otherwise is dumb, but i expect it from u.

Pac's career lasted 5 years. In that time he worked with pop stars, made love songs, cross-dressed and took pics of himself naked in a bathtub. You're in denial if you don't think he could have worked with Katy Perry. He was already working with Madonna, who Katy Perry models her music after.
ketty perry may model her music after madonna but it sounds like nothing like what madonna would do at alll. madonna & katy perry are two different things all together.

It's the same genre. You may like one over the other but stylistically they are similar.

When youve been in the game for 20 years, I dont think its a big deal to start to branch out and work with new artists.  Sure, its corny when hes making songs with Katy Perry etc, but if he made the same album since day one, he wouldnt be able to get these features hes getting today.  Bottom line, if you dont like the music hes making you dont have to listen to it.  Snoop still the man no matter what he does.  Hes gonna be smoking blunts and chilling the same way he always did in his real life.  He sure changed musically over the years, but Snoop is still Snoop behind the scenes.


not dissing you  but how can you say that, do you know the man personally ? people tend to change a bit in 20 years , especially after getting millions of dollars and a few kids. of course he´s got nothing to prove to anyone . and yeah i tend to skip the weak songs on his albums, i don´t wanna listen to that.


it was obvious from the beginning snoop would sell out, you have to do that if you want to  be a pop star. i mean , look at Father Hood, how is that not selling  out. but he´s not hiding it so i don´t see what the big deal is, kids want pop stars and the media needs pop stars . snoop is a character, a media figure.
 some of his freestyles are better than the ghostwritten bars on his albums .

He tried to argue "I Need A Doctor" isn't Dre's biggest hit.

I'm at a loss for words if you really believe "I Need A Doctor" is Dre's biggest hit.
what one is bigger? Dre Day? G thang?

Is I Need A Doctor really that big of a hit? Maybe it's just me who is not caught up in the game anymore. But back when I was a kid, songs like Still Dre where everywhere, and anyone knew the beat, even people who hated rap and shit. Now I'm much more isolated from things like radio or what the kids listen to on their ipod or what gets played during teenage parties, but I really can't imagine I Need A Doctor being bigger than Still Dre. I never even accidently come across the song in real life. Only when I open up the file on my laptop.
Cause I don't care where I belong no more
What we share or not I will ignore
And I won't waste my time fitting in
Cause I don't think contrast is a sin
No, it's not a sin

^Yeah, I'm an idiot. That's why I'm in college & you, judging by your non-employment, likely dropped out of high school.


i'm above u...thats why i spit facts, while u make up lies and assumptions to win arguments. it's obvious who has the higher worth. and to top it off, yes, you are an idiot.

Our childhood distorts things. You from Cali? I remember Still Dre getting a bunch of spins on KMEL but when you look at the numbers it didn't do well on the charts at all. Barely cracked the hot 100 and dropped off shortly afterwards.

no, you're right.."I Need a Doctor" is nowhere near being Dre's biggest hit. He has songs that are recognized universally, and "I Need a Doctor" is not one of 'em. The only thing is that "I Need a Doctor" was his second highest SELLING single, but with the introduction of Itunes singles selling for 99 cent in recent years, that figure means jack shit. Itunes has changed the game in terms of single sales, and anyone who fails to factor this into the equation (cham, spice-2) is a complete fucking moron.

Sales and radio spins....what more do you want? Those are the most important numbers to go by. Statistics >> the opinion of a kid who is stuck in the 90s.

The Billboard counts spins as well as sales. Check yourself. The fact that Still Dre only made it to 95 on the charts and then fell off, speaks for itself.

So sales make it his biggest hit?  That song is without a doubt the worst song Dre had ever been a part of. Besides, I'm sure the sales numbers are bullishit anyway, they all are inflated which is why you will see enormous first week sales and then a major drop off immediately after.  The industry is a joke and I can't wait until all of those labels and media related to it die.

What you think of the song is irrelevant to this argument. It's still done better popularity-wise than all but one of his other songs. Will it be a Dre staple? Not to me. But its done better in the time it was released comparative to anything from 2001. The fanboy in you won't see reason.
