Hmmm......aside from 2Pac's death, I would say Snoop.

Doggystyle got more play than All Eyez on me when it was out, and it had more impact. Even when AEOM came out, Snoop was still a bigger star to me. Pac didn't get that #1 power til he died in my opinion.

i know people will hate but fuck it.  Dre had so much pressure on him after leaving NWA.  if he didnt come up with the chronic(which is one of the best albums of all time), we would have forgotten about him, kinda like people did with MC Ren.  I love MC Ren and i think without him NWA wouldn't of been shit.  but people forgot about him because he basically floped in the main stream.  people like me bought the album because i know Ren is raw is fuck, but everybody who bought the NWA albums didnt buy his albums.

remember dre was part ceo of deathrow.  thats hella fuckin pressure mang.  so dre is the biggest star to me, because that chronic album had to be great, and it was.  in my oppinoin, that was a make or break time in his carrer.  and if dre flopped,  there would be NO Snoop, Eminem, 50 Cent, The GAME, and everybody else who i might have forgot.  Thats what I think..clown me if you guys want  because i like arguing.  beeyatch.

As far as an artist goes, I would still say Snoop or Pac. But as far as overall impact and involvement with DR, then I see what you mean with Dre. He did have the most pressure, and if it wasn't for the sound he brought to Death Row, Death Row and shit...the west coast at the time wouldn't have really done shit.

Snoop Doggy Dogg. Just look at his sales.

Snoop sold 800,000 in his first week and 4 million in 6 months. RIAA never updated the sales since 1994 and Snoop was at the top of the game from '93-'95. Snoop was bigger than any rapper if you take in consideration the time frame (Hip Hop wasn't as universal in 1993 as it is post-2000).

Pac sold a lot more after he died.

All Eyez On Me took 10 months to sell 3.5 million and his first week sales were much less than Snoop (460,000).

Obviously in death, Pac is the overall bigger star but when they were alive, Snoop held it down.

overall though its gotta be 2pac.

i think snoop and dre as a unit were the biggest (if that counts). its twistin the question, but on DR, snoop was to dre like jelly to peanut butter, and pac was like the bread of the sandwich around them, dig? i think that dre and snoop were the staples of DR (like p.b. & j. in a sandwich), snoop was sweeter to the mainstream (hence "jelly"), and pac was the one that brought the whole operations together ("bread") as the dopest fuckin label ever. lol, sorry for the similes, but i couldnt describe what i was tryin to otherwise.

[africas seed]

^^^ i hear u and everything but what happend to the fuckin miracle whip?

[Dubz]
