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

[everlast1986]

Just based on his track record and how well known he is, hes top 10.

[Iliveinthefuture]

top 50 maybe MAYBE

Top 5, in order...

1. Rakim
2. 2Pac
3. Nas
4. Ice Cube
5. Notorious B.I.G.

Jay-Z, Snoop, Andre, they are all top 25, but this top 5 IMO, no one can fuck with.

I know that some people "decided they hated him" around 2002-2004 but I have enjoyed at least 10-15 tracks on every solo album he has dropped since 1994. (Not including Sold not Told)

I started liking Snoop around 1993 and I didn't decide "he sucks" just because he tried different styles and directions later on.
Even if R and G was "POP" or "mainstream" that does mean it sucks.
I LIKE gangsta shit but even I enjoyed a lot of songs on R and G.

He is still a household name after 15 years and is probably the most well known rapper in the WORLD.

I'll give him top 5.

[maxpowers]

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

Just wondering. Do you now what programs/plug ins are in dres monitor? (in your Picture)

The most visible plug-in in the picture is Spectrasonics Trilogy.

http://www.spectrasonics.net/instruments/trilogy.html

Its a bass module.

The others are a combination of giga studio and RTAS plug-ins.

Without a doubt an Icon... who else has appeared along side Lee Iococca?

LOL, styles has a point, not many can say that

I dont know...are talkin "Star Status" or Catologue and legacy as an MC? As a hip hop star, he's definetely top 5...no question. As far as his albums and his legacy on the mic, I would say top 10-15.

Based off of catalogue/records etc ...:

Obvious MCs ahead of Snoop

Cube
Pac
Nas
KRS
Scarface

MCs ahead of Snoop, but debateable

Rakim
Biggie
Jay
Eminem

So I have him right around the 10 spot, which seems fair.

I disagree with the order, but the list is good except take Biggie out and replace him with KRS. Waaaaaaaaaaaaay too many people sleep on KRS, dude has arguably the best catologue in hip hop, he's right there with Cube imo.

[d-nice]

Yeah I can think of at least 5 rappers with a better catalog then Snoop. Now icon status pushes him ahead of alot of people but str8 music top 5? No.

I highlighted Eminem's name. Theres no way in hell I can ever consider him better than Snoop, even when Snoop is at his worse. Eminem sacrificed the dignity of his music, himself, and his family just to sell the way he did. He's either crying about how horrible his mother was or dressing up like a female screaming "just lose it uh uh uh uh uh".

Doggystyle > Eminem's entire career.

Jay-Z isn't worthy of being on that list either. "Reasonable Doubt" was crack. After that he didn't release another good album till "The Black Album". "Blueprint 2" had a lot of good material but too many fillers.

Biggie's 3 year career isn't worthy of being compared to Snoop's so I'll leave that one alone.

[LyRiCaL_G]

dogystyle>eminems career.........there i have no arguement with you......

best flow in hiphop......snoop has GOAT status as far as im concerned....

reinventing himself and knowing how to make smash hits.......again argueably the best

making albums....whether his albums come off dope or not, he no doubt know how to make them and they are always different unlike eminem...

oh and about him working with neptunes....to diss him for that is retarded....those niggaz are some of the best in the game EASILY....there were not just hot for a minute
type producer...cats are still producing lead singles for niggaz like jigga...its totally understandable for him to work with neptunes when him and dre were not fucking...he gets
the best of of great producers and vice versa....dont forget snoop brought neptunes back on the map when they was slippin for a minute

however is he consistant? no....the best lyricist? no....but its not all about that

i would say top 10 without doubt....if we talkin about leaving your mark on the game...then top 5 easy....if we talking about how unique he is...then his number 1...nobody does it like snoop
thats a fact.

however overall imma give him top 10......

he is a living legend and one of the best to put it down and at his peak nobody could fuck with him and even know when his flow is right, it dont matter whos on a track with him, he'll come off the best

dope post..

I question myself Biggie at that spot... but I use it to justifty putting the DOC in the top 15. LOL.
