I think Snoop Dogg HAS to be considered a top 5 of all time

[GangstaBoogy]

See usually when someone makes a top 5 rappers of all time list they get real anal about it...no homo. They go strictly off how lyrical those artist were (which is why the typical list is: 2Pac, Biggie, Jay-Z, Nas, Eminem). But if you think about it, NO rapper has been more consistant than Snoop. I may not always agree with his makeovers, but I gotta give him credit, dude knows how to reinvent himself and stay relevant to the general public. LL has been in the game longer, but in between albums he doesn't release shiet. Cube is in my opinion THE greatest of all time, but he's in that same boat as LL. Jay-Z is overrated. Nas is amazing but he can't do it at all angles like Snoop. Eminem is too gimmicky. And I know it sounds fucked up, but Biggie wasn't alive long enough to be on that list, I mean a 3 year career and 2 albums doesn't cut it for me.

8 solo albums (Doggystyle, Tha Doggfather, Da Game is to Be Sold..., No Limit Top Dogg, Tha Last Meal, Paid the Cost, R&G, Blue Carpet Treatment), 3 group albums (Tha Eastsidaz, Duces N Trazyz, 213), mixtapes (Welcome 2 Da Chuuuch series), countless guest appearances on soundtracks, compilations, mixtapes and albums by other artist, stole the show on "The Chronic", and made a name for artist such as Daz, Kurupt, Warren G, Nate Dogg, Xzibit, Tha Eastsidaz. Face it - the man is top 5.


Top 5 in random order: Snoop, Cube, Nas, Andre 3000, 2Pac

I don't think Snoop has dropped a dope album since Last Meal

I don't think Snoop has dropped a dope album since Last Meal

to a westcoast purist, even i msyelf havent bought one of his records since the last meal but i must admit, he's had more commercial succes since the days of doggysytle dropping songs like beautiful and drop it lke its hot.

Actually consistentcy has been something lacking on Snoop's albums. Later in his career he has tried to cater to SO MANY sounds and people. But definitely you have to put him up there with the all time greats.

i wouldn't say top 5 overall ,but his flow is one of the greatest ever......i mean when he wants to rip a track, it sounds so dope, even if he's saying nothing (ie. think about it of TBCT)

[Darksider]

yeah he is somewhere close to my top 5

[TRG]

agree on how he reinvents himself.. he's like the hip hop madonna

[wcsoldier]

if you talk about superstar power and his abilities to stay on top for 15 years , I agree ... but when it comes to music HELL NO ... dude has released too much inconsistent solos to be considered top 5, let alone top 10.... and as much as I'm a Snoop fan , he doesn't reinvent himself , he just worked through the years with the artists who were superhot (no homo) at a certain moment ( Master P, Pharell) ... though there is no doubt he's a fucking legend, the most famous rapper around the world for a while and has been on many classics ....

by the way about Jay being overrated , well you'll see the same comments about Snoop on EastCoast forums ... they both have been the main rappers on the spotlight for each side and both have the same pb : quantity over  quality ....  right now Snoop is way overrated by the WC fans, Jay is way overrated by the Eastcoast fans

Im a huge snoop fan but i have to say no way, he is way too inconsistant.

[Episcop Cruel Cvrle]

id say near , in top 10 for sure. dude is a hip hop icon.

[PLANT]

easily top five IMO.  Altho he does have a collection of sub-par tracks hes put out, Snoop easily has the biggest catologue of material of all time.  You go song for song, hit for hit with any other rapper and Snoop would be at the top.

[Dubb Montana]

[Lunatic]
