Well dat shit definately goes to 2pac......Snoop and Biggie would be next...I can't really say eminem and nelly cause they on the pop side like vanilla ice and mc hammer and i know i might get alot of heat for saying that shit but its da truth..check out dr.dre and snoop dippin in cadilacz 6'4 on "nuttin but a G Thang" Video and then check out Eminem latest video featuring dr.dre as Batman ridin in a bat mobile and noddin his head like he's crazy..Dre need to come back to the west!!!
