does anyone kno?
pz.
-
2pac was both....he sold the most and ws the biggest star
-
::) seriosuly....???
2pac
-
lol.

Hmmm......aside from 2Pac's death, I would say Snoop.
Doggystyle got more play than All Eyez on me when it was out, and it had more impact. Even when AEOM came out, Snoop was still a bigger star to me. Pac didn't get that #1 power til he died in my opinion.

Respect that.

i know people will hate but fuck it. Dre had so much pressure on him after leaving NWA. if he didnt come up with the chronic(which is one of the best albums of all time), we would have forgotten about him, kinda like people did with MC Ren. I love MC Ren and i think without him NWA wouldn't of been shit. but people forgot about him because he basically floped in the main stream. people like me bought the album because i know Ren is raw is fuck, but everybody who bought the NWA albums didnt buy his albums.
remember dre was part ceo of deathrow. thats hella fuckin pressure mang. so dre is the biggest star to me, because that chronic album had to be great, and it was. in my oppinoin, that was a make or break time in his carrer. and if dre flopped, there would be NO Snoop, Eminem, 50 Cent, The GAME, and everybody else who i might have forgot. Thats what I think..clown me if you guys want because i like arguing. beeyatch.

As far as an artist goes, I would still say Snoop or Pac. But as far as overall impact and involvement with DR, then I see what you mean with Dre. He did have the most pressure, and if it wasn't for the sound he brought to Death Row, Death Row and shit...the west coast at the time wouldn't have really done shit.

Snoop Doggy Dogg. Just look at his sales.
Snoop sold 800,000 in his first week and 4 million in 6 months. RIAA never updated the sales since 1994 and Snoop was at the top of the game from '93-'95. Snoop was bigger than any rapper if you take in consideration the time frame (Hip Hop wasn't as universal in 1993 as it is post-2000).
Pac sold a lot more after he died.
All Eyez On Me took 10 months to sell 3.5 million and his first week sales were much less than Snoop (460,000).
Obviously in death, Pac is the overall bigger star but when they were alive, Snoop held it down.
-
overall though its gotta be 2pac.
-
i think snoop and dre as a unit were the biggest (if that counts). its twistin the question, but on DR, snoop was to dre like jelly to peanut butter, and pac was like the bread of the sandwich around them, dig? i think that dre and snoop were the staples of DR (like p.b. & j. in a sandwich), snoop was sweeter to the mainstream (hence "jelly"), and pac was the one that brought the whole operations together ("bread") as the dopest fuckin label ever. lol, sorry for the similes, but i couldnt describe what i was tryin to otherwise.
-
^^^ i hear u and everything but what happend to the fuckin miracle whip? :eh:
-
^lol. that would be tha dogg pound.
-
OVERALL 2pac
at the time.. SNOOP
-
2Pac overall , Death Rows still makin money off of him.
-
and if dre flopped, there would be NO Snoop, Eminem, 50 Cent, The GAME, and everybody else who i might have forgot..
no eminem, no 50, no game.... hmmm i like that idea. :P
but i think snoop was the biggest star. 2pacs hype was great but his period was too short. :'(
-
^^^ i hear u and everything but what happend to the fuckin miracle whip? :eh:
on a peanut butter & jelly sandwhich?
anywho, the biggest star was snoop. snoop is as big as he is today BECAUSE of the material he dropped on death row. he got his start there, made great music, and made life-long fans.
2pac was already an established artist before the death row era

LOL this is the first time that a discussion bout westcoast rap has made me hungry. lol....
And wtf is miracle whip??
-
i think at the time, ~94ish, snoop was gettin pushed the hardest at death row, he was on most of the chronic, and doggystyle had that much more anticipation because it was his freshmen project and everyone was waiting for it... but we all know the GOAT is 2pac hands down, even if he did sell more after he died, his work is timeless and we are lucky to be able to have such great music...
-
Tupac for sure...dude went diamond, GOAT
-
why do people think that when tupac died his lyrics changed ? his music was the same before and after his death, all his death did was bring more publicity to his work. doesnt mean its any worse or better, the work was done and thats it. he is considered by most as the greatest, and i agree, whether he died or not, i dont see how his death could increase his skills on the mic ?
only the haters bring up his death when talking about who's the greatest.
2pac was definetly death rows biggest star.

thats a good way of thinking of it, but i think the person who brought it all together(the bread) was the Doctor. thought i mix it up a little. :stir:
-
^yeah, the way i though bout it was snoop and dre already had that insane chemistry together and then pac just brought the label together up to the official status as the dopest label evert
-
^exactly...
-
overall though its gotta be 2pac.
