Nas had controversey, but he didn't have a strong second single which made the difference. Snoop was gonna prob go gold just off of the strength of himself, even if "Vato" was the only single. Then he hit them with "That's that Shit" which carried him over. Even that wack ass "Candy" was popular out here.Nas can still be happy knowing that he's the superior rapper of the 2.

Basically, but the reason he's behind Snoop is because the 2nd single didn't pick up. Plus Snoop came out 1-2 months before Nas correct? When "Hustlers" comes out, Nas won't go platinum, but he might match Snoop.
Nas is a better lyricist than Snoop but Snoop is a better rapper.Anyway, hip hop artists can drop dope songs all day, people are tired of the same shit man. Snoop can drop a g funked out Dre produced Nate-hook laced BANGER and people will happily listen to it but they're not gonna pay 15 bucks to listen to it again. It's over, people. Hip hop is the most heavily bootlegged music i can think of. It will fall before all other music. snoop's already platinum. but without another akon style hit , he won't go past gold from now on. and in a few years even that will fade.-T

Maybe world-wide, or units shipped or whatever. But if were going by units sold (most ppl go by), he's at like 8-something

Nas has a sick style, but his main artistic strength to me is his lyricism. I could state it like this:Snoop is a better MC(sounding musical, sounding dope, rocking the crowd, sounding entertaining/pleasing to the ear, vocal dexterity, voice, delivery, rhythm, flow) but Nas is a better poet (message, punches, story telling, complexity, structural skill etc.). both equall dope artists to me, but as far as RAPPIN' (not what the raps are about) Snoop stomps anyone.He's one of the few cats whose actual rapping is a funky sound in itself. -T
