Without Snoop, Dre would have found someone else to do the Chronic. But it wouldn't be the same. The west would still be on the map. But right now not as strong.

Fuck that.... Imagine the West without Dr. Dre..... now that's some real shit there.... Take away Ice Cube, Eazy E, The DOC, NWA, Mack 10, Warren G, G Funk Records, WC, Snoop, Kurupt, Nate Dogg, Doggystyle Records, Aftermath Records, Death Row Records, Xzibit, Daz, Dogg Pound..... all those artists listed he has effected tremendously in one way or another.  Take Dre away and the West Coast ain't shit.  Naw fuck that, take Dre away and hip-hop is half of what it is today.

That's a bold statement.
I would only give lengendary status to an elite few.  Snoop has obviously done a lot in his career but you would have to consider A LOT of artists legends if Snoop is one.  

The main difference if Snoop wasn't around would have to be the status of DPG.  They certainly wouldn't be the same.

Snoop is a LEGEND fo sho no fuckin doubt.  He's done so much for the game and the left coast, not to mention all the homies he brought unselfishly into the game.
other legends would be Pac, BIG, G Rap, Rakim, Dre, Nas, RunDMC, LL Cool J,Ice Cube, Eazy E,Gangstarr, JayZ and even eminem I would say.  Those guys are all legends IMO including Snoop

If those are all legends then you would have to add:

Kane, Slick Rick, DJ Premier, Marley Marl, KRS-One, Chuck D, A Tribe Called Quest, EPMD, Ice Cube, Outkast, Scarface...

I personally wouldn't throw that word around that much. :)

Yup. I just think, if there was no Snoop there would be no "Doggystyle", one of the greatest albums EVER. Not forgetting all the other classic tracks Snoop has added his vocals too over the years. I got nothing but love for Snoop, he may of fallen off since '96, but it's like tom said, "snoop raised to bar to high for himself", that bar is also too high for ALOT of other artists too.

Word to the fullest i think Dre has played the biggest part in Westcoast Rap/Hip Hop i think he is more important than snoop and has and always will be,,,,,but not to take any respect away from snoop i love snoop he is right down next to Dre cause no doubt that Snoop is huge

This topic goes to show what I'm saying that most knowledge of west coast rap don't go past Snoop/DPG. If it wasn't for NWA, Cube, Atl, Eazy- E. Doc. Ice T, King T, Toddy Tee,Quik, Eiht etc. The west wouldn't have never been shit All them dudes open up the doors for Snoop and all these other rappers out west today. So to say the west wouldn't be nothing without Snoop is pure comedy. I give Snoop props he made one classic with the rest being medicore, But I'm sure Dre would have found someone else just like he did with Doc, Eminem and other dudes he took under his wing.

I could survive. I barely EVER listen to snoop or dpg. Maybe a few times a year. I would never say I wish someone wasnt born or anything so Im happy hes alive. But If he was never born someone like DOC would of been a huge name insted. Hell so much could be different. Maybe DOC would of never lost his voice. Who knows.

Umm, I never see you making or replying to threads that don't include news or info on Snoop/DPG so who are you to judge? I think you'll find we cover ALL aspects of westcoast hip-hop, it's just Snoop & DPG are always doing something so it's only natural there's always threads about their antics here. Make threads about others if your so knowledgable....

Alot of people claim very different things bout who started G Funk but I like Dre's G Funk productions more than Warren G's smooth shit (which is also dope).
just my taste
