It tripped me out how my mom doesnt speak english but she could recognise snoop in a crowd. Snoop has become the biggest name cause of his style and his image .
and its good to see it come from the west. His album sucked balls, only some good tracks.
-
That's about right, maybe between him & Eminem, cuz everyone knows what Em looks like.
-
ya the guy does TV commercials and when he started saying forshizzle it was everywhere and the guy took that slang btw. hell never be what he used to ill tell u that

oh yeah em does come close.
-
Snoop is the most know rap star ever that u gotta admit.
-
nope. eminem is.

nope. eminem is.
wrong

I would say Eminem simple for the fact that he is newer, and more people that don't know much about Snoop ( at least wouldn't recognize him ), would know Em via 8 Mile, all the MTV, BET, VH1 covergaes, controversies, etc.
-
I'll agree to that. Everytime somebody, un hip hop, wants to mention something about Hip Hop or a rapper, the first nigga who comes out they mouth is 'Snoop Doggy Dog'.
Second is 'Fiddy Cent'.

Your only talking about Black rappers right? Because I'm telling you that middle aged white folks are gonna recognize Eminem 1st, Snoop 2nd, and 50 or Hov 3rd.
-
^ I suppose than yeah.
I really haven't heard Eminem's name be brought up in a minute. Lol.
Snoop Doggy Dog and Fiddy Cent. But it's mostly white folks bringin' up them names though.
-
nope. eminem is.
wrong
eminem is white, he stands out. thus, he is more recognizable. he also has a more broader audience than snoop throughout the world.
thats why im right.
-
id have to say dogg. eminem doesnt do all the endorsements and advertisements/commercials that snoop does. snoops an all around entertainer. hes a rapper, hes an actor, he does commercials with t mobile, orbitz, Chrylser and everything. Hes got much more of a persona and charisma than Em does.
-
nobody will remember eminem after his death
olny his daughter would listen to his music trying to understand her father and mother's problems

I co-sign that. When I was in Italy last spring I had a bunch of euros asking me about Eminem and shit. Asking me who's the better rapper, him or 50.

What an idiot, Eminem is the best true emcee mentioned in this thread. I think it's time you give that tampon a change. I'm telling you that people will always recognize Eminem, if not based on the white thing, simple beacuse he's sold more records than any of the others.
-
I think both are pretty huge. I remember when Last Meal came out and i was still at junior school and everybody began copying the booyaka thing from Lay Low.
-
LOL everybody over here in Germany knows Snoop Dogg! He was in that movie "Starsky & Hutch" his slogan "nobody touches the bear" is known overall. Eminem is just a fag. In those times he was in with that "Real Slim Shady" shit he was THE rapper. but nowadays nobody gives a shit about eminem. Snoop is everywhere. When it comes to the topic rap-music on MTV overhere, the first name you hear is Snoop Dogg. Even Ice Cube gets mentions here and there.

U must not have heard the Re-Up, cuz Eminem's verses on that album shitted on damn near everything else released this year. Plus, I bet if you called Em a fag to his face, he probably knock you out cold. Not hating on you, just speaking in general.
-
i live in france and i can say snoop is the most Known Rapper In the World because in france when you say snoop everybody know who he is even my little nephew who is 4 years old know snoop dogg !!!
-
And he never heard of Eminem?
-
i think it's pac my moms and pops kno them and my moms don't speak english to well
-
snoop is the most known rapper.....eminen and tupac are the close contenders....eminem cuz his white and tupac cuz his pac
1
-
actually, 'Pac is well known in Africa.
-
actually, 'Pac is well known in Africa.
i also pick 2pac...did some people in this thread forgot about him or what? lol.
-
Eminem ??? Old black people dont know woh the fucc EM is they think its candy , Snoop Dogg is fa sho the most known rapper ever and he didnt get to be known on accident either it took hustle & grind , Snoop is the man when hes on that hard shit !!!!!!!
-
sounds like snoop based on the international community response here. Em is certainly well known as well as cube and pac, 50.

I remember a couple of years ago everyone here (denmark) knew tupac.. either because they liked his music or because all the stuff about his death and resurrection.. eminem was up there too.. but nowadays it's like the whole thing about tupac has slowly begun to fade away in the mainstream..
Dunno about snoop being the most known rapper in the world (not been to the states yet, so haven't really got a clue about his impact over there), but over here he ain't the most known.. eminem is definitely the rapper that almost everybody has heard about, one way or the other, and 50 is probably the second one.. snoop does okay over here, but far from everybody knows him (though the "beautiful" and "drop it like it's hot" tracks have helped him with that over here, the recent years)..
Just so I'm clear: we are talking about the most known rapper overall right?? (like in the mainstream and not just in the hiphop circles)..
-
yeah, snoop is huge hugely known in the U.S. man.
-T
-
Snoop has both old and new fans...eminem only have new fans...snoop is a icon, peepz know snoop dogg because of his style,fashion,runnings with the law etc etc..peepz know eninem because he's the great white hope of hiphop!
-
yeah, snoop is huge hugely known in the U.S. man.
-T
oh ok, cool then.. I kinda had the hunch that he was much more popular over there, but I still thought that he wasn't near the popularity of such rappers as eminem, jay-z or some of these new south cats.. <-- and I'm only referring to the present time, not the last 13-14 years..

popularity doesn't necessarily come with being known.
eminem/50/south cats are more popular than snoop here at the moment yeah but snoop is a more well known rapper over-all.

yeah I can see what you mean..
-
nah its 2pac
-
he is also the best rapper
-
Snoop ISNT the most known....
2PAC OR EMINEM ARE EASILY MORE WELL KNOWN THAN SNOOP
-
LOL this thread.... ;D
According from the massachusetts institute of technology, is Snoop the most well- connected rapper of all time , this is counted from the album sales and the collaborations made

Top 5 of the most known rappers in the fucking world.
1.Eminem
2.fiddy
3.Pac
4.Snoop
5.Hammer (lol)
-
MC hammer ;D?
-
Its hard to say who's the most known rapper in the world. Cuz its diffucult to say who's the most known rapper outside your own country.
But i think Eminem is the most know by people who didnt or dont listen to rap. Cuz you have to admit Em did a lot for rap.
But Snoop has been in the game for so long, so he probably got a more steady fanbase or people that know him. Anyone who starts to listen to rap
will automaticly come to Snoop.
But you cant forget about Pac either, cuz where ever you go in the world dont matter where, if you ask someone who is the greatest rapper of all times,
they will say Pac for sure.
-
Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer are well known maybe even more then Calvin.
-
come on i most admit i liked mc hammer , they was both one hit wondors. Do you hear them today
-
nope. eminem is.
wrong
eminem is white, he stands out. thus, he is more recognizable. he also has a more broader audience than snoop throughout the world.
thats why im right.
I co-sign that. When I was in Italy last spring I had a bunch of euros asking me about Eminem and shit. Asking me who's the better rapper, him or 50.
Yep, I live in Italy.. only Rap fans know Snoop.
Eminem.. everybody knows him, number 1 without a doubt, because he's on tv and magazines a lot.
I don't know in America, but here the most famous ones are Eminem than 2Pac and 50 Cent.
-
I'd say Snoop, 50 then Em. These 3 would be your most recognised rappers.
-
Tupac aint that well known now. People talk about him less now he's dead, maybe at one time he was huge but not so much now. Nearly everyone knows who eminem is, people saying old black folk dont know who he is but old white folk dont know who snoop is.
I'd say Em and Snoop are evenly matched. Although i'm guessing Snoop is better known in Africa...
On a side note, dam both Em and Snoop are Dre's proteges. I wonder if Bishop will get this big?
-
Tupac is the most known rapper, that's a fact. That's all because he's dead so he get that dumb "Legend-Status" overall. Every year the labels put out a "new" pac CD. But I don't think we talk about dead rappers, are we?
-
I would agree that Snoop is the most well known rapper in the world. I remember back in the day old white folks knew who Snoop dogg was. I remember when i went to a bookstore and asked the lady about the Snoop Dogg book, she was really old white lady and right away she said oh that Snoop Doggy Dogg book... Snoop is most popular because he is all over the place and so is eminem but i think Snoop beats him out...
Also Tupac is probably without a doubt the most popular but he aint here no more so out of the living rappers i would say Snoop Dogg, Eminem and 50 Cent

olny his daughter would listen to his music trying to understand her father and mother's problems

-
mc hammer and vinnalla ice aint a bad call actually. :D
-
I would say its true, snoop jus stands out to much... far from best though
-
Not to forget Ice Cube. He's well known because of his movies. Even Ice-T is known in Germany, but most people here don't realize it's him, because they see him on TV overhere on that crime broadcast, where he's a supporting actor.
Snoop beats Eminem because of "Doggy Fizzle Televizzle". Everybody overhere knows that show, it's comparable to Pimp My Ride, most German people know Xzibit through that show. I dunno if y'all know that show, but theres also a show on MTV called "Be my..." I normally don't watch MTV, but when I was at a friend's house, he zapped to MTV and it was "Be my... ...Snoop Dogg" with a girl that wanted some guys to be similar to Snoop Dogg.
-
snoop dogg got 2 be the most known
then 2pac and eminem

naw pac is more known, but he's dead so it doesn't mind.
-
well the point is almost everybody here in Nigeria n most of africa knows snoop dogg easily and from way back too.a lot of cats still listen to all his classic even if they're not real hip hop fan.
Mum's around here knows snoopp dogg.
For example my mum n my sisters who doesnt care about gangsta rap will be like,he's too skinny,he smoke too uch weed e.t.c,lol.
