Snoop may not be the best rapper on the westcoast, but theres no denying hes the biggest star, the biggest name and the biggest artist the westcoast has ever seen. Also the most global artist in rap, period. Plus, he has the best album in westcoast history.
EVERYBODY knew who 2pac was musically when "I get around" and "Keep Ya hEad Up" came outeveryone in hip hop knew who he was because of Juice + 2pacalypse + connections to Ed Lover, Live Squad and Digital Underground
Only one other person brought this up:From 92-96, Kurupt could have rapped circles around pretty much every rapper in the industry including Snoop. Real talk, if Kurupt dropped a solo album after "New York, New York", it would be talked about in the same sentence as "Illmatic" and "Ready to Die". Since this forum is the unofficial Snoop Doggy Dogg fan club, that thought would be blasphemous, however lyrically:Kurupt over Dre/Daz beats > Snoop over Dre/Daz beats

I would actually put Cube above Pac in terms of being the best from the west. Pac's legacy was really blown up by media controversy then death IMO.
