this is the dumbest thing to try and argue about
but this has to be jay-z.
Rapsodiedude, serioulsy. in every thread that u pop up in, u always give out the impression that ur either desillusioned or just stupid. how can i debate wit a person who confuses music with lyrics? LL got more plaques? in what dimension..? planet "Not-True"? as a matter of fact, Snoops first album sold more than LL's first 2 albums (LL's biggest albums to date) combined... ima give u 24 hours to study, cuz right now ur embarassing urself..how the hell can u compare LL wit Snoop's career, and think that LL's career is more succsful? dude, there's even a saying alot of rappers used before called - "makin a comeback like LL Cool J".. heard of it before.. aparently not. lmaoLL's been around since 85, but he fell off n disappeard millions of times. just like Ice Cube.. there were times when they weren't active, wit either music and movies.. none of em comes close wit Snoops career.. how can u say Snoop isn't relevant? seriosuly?are u blind or just not keepin up wit the times?.. when's the last time, an artist reached out to Cube and LL, for an attention-seeking 16-bar guestappearnce? how many faetures? ummmm.. let's see.. what's a more succesfull marketing-aproach from a recordlabel-standpoint, to feature a verse from og Cube or og LL on ur single - or a verse by Snoop..? "oh let see, im coming out in the game - and i need a guestappearnce for my single. hey, let's call Ice Cube or LL Cool J".. lmaoSnoop was even the #1 go-to-guy for features back in the 90's, when LL and Cube were still active and relevant musically..Snoop's done more than 700 guestappearancs in music (not solely HipHop) since he started.. world-recordnow is that by chance, or maybe because he is relevant? lmao, u dumb mufucca"oh, let's see - we're doin this tv-show right now. and we should call one of these rappers? let's call Ice Cube or LL.."when's the last time u saw Cube or LL on Letterman or Leno (for example)? 1996? you do the math, moron..and i dont get this Jay-Z thing. just because duke is caked up like a muffucka, yall look at it like he's the biggest succesful of all time. thats desillusional and wrong. if that would be the case, we might as well say that Master P is the most succesful rapper of all time - cus he got waay more money than Jay-Z.longevity without fall-offs, sustaining supesrtar-dom is the biggest accomplishment of all, and outweighs everything else. a superstar since the first day - 17 years. no rapper has acchieved that, except this LongBeach-character. that's why Snoop holds it down, wit the best career of all time in HipHop. period..jay-z been strugglin since 1989 when he ran wit Jaz-O n that "hawain Sophee"-single shit.. he didnt really blew up until 98 (11 years later lol) wit "Hard Knock Life" - and he dindt become a global household-name until he became the president of Def Jam, n signed Rihanna like 2 or 3 years ago. Snoop was a global (i repeat "global") superstar in 1993, and continued to be 17 years later - and at the same time been more productive than ANY other rapper, period..no rapper has released 37 official projects (14 of them were albums). not a single one.. not even the hardest working undeground cats.i'll wait.. who? Lil' Wayne? uhmmm... nooo Jay-Z? nooo 50 Cent? Eminem? Cube? LL (lol)? no, no, no and noo..name one rapper wit more than 37 releases.. there's not even that many posthumous 2pac-releases, lol...the hollywood-gang of the hiphop-world - Ice Cube and LL Cool J. Snoop's been in more mainstream tv-shows and movies than both of them combined..global recognition...this sums up and ends this whole debate...the first rappers that comes to mind when you're speaking about rappers overseas - is Eminem, 50 cent and Snoop.. not friggin Jay-Z (Rihanna is bigger than Jay-Z globally), Ice Cube or LL Cool J.. that's acchievement - a household name overseas, and there's three of 'em if you generalise - and Snoop comes out the winner, cus he maintained the superstar-dom since day one for 17 years straight, never disappeared or fell off. Em and 50 struggled for many years before they blew up, and Em also disappeard for almost 6 years during his career.
^For real, is that guy joking? LOL.He calls Jay out for "falling off", when Snoop Dogg hasn't made something good in almost twenty years lol.Snoop isn't relevant, his talk show argument is retarded. He's on those show's because he's a popular name, but it's far from being relevant in Hip Hop & Jay-Z is on those shows & SNL whenever he drops something.This guy says 37 projects, when only one of them was great & the other 36 are average with a few shades of greatness here & there.Jay-Z sells millions every album, is the only guy from the 90's still relevant on the radio & hands down has the most ideal Hip Hop career.Like I said, Snoop Dogg is just hanging on to things that happened 20 years ago.
Eminem disappeared for almost 6 years, with no relevance at all.. and Jay-Z had plenty of hiatuses during his career. From the Jaz-O days as a teenager to the early Roc-a-fella career.. there were times in his career where he almost didn't exist.. the keyword im looking for here is. "sustaining superstar status from the day your career begins, tll present day".. the only one in HipHop-history who acchieved that is Snoop Dogg. that's why he has the best/perfect career of all rappers...
