Where does Snoop go in your list of hip hop greats?
I ask because I am personally unsure...pondered it on and off for years.
Obviously he's a legend, but in terms of a list...I honestly don't know where I'd put him. |
Where ever you rank cube at.... Put snoop 2 ranks ahead.
|
Top20
|
Snoop Dogg at his best was better than Ice Cube. But Ice Cube was far more consistent —he's actually still really good, when he raps.
To me, they're the top two from Los Angeles. |
25 spots higher than Pac
40 spots higher than Em so somewhere in my top 25 |
I've never listened to a complete Snoop Dogg album.
*runs away* |
It's ok if u haven't heard doggystyle....Every1 of ur favorite rappers bit the the shit to death
|
never enjoyed him lyrically but he did have a voice n swag about him that no one could duplicate
|
Snoop top 10 alive arguably
|
1990's Young snoop was a beaasssttttt. 2000's + snoop is blah
|
Doggystyle is arguably the best rap debut all time. As a whole, I'd put Snoop in the top 15, maybe higher. Easy to take his crossover appeal for granted, but he's a cultural icon way beyond rap.
|
Doggfather used to be in my walkman all day...
he blends with tracks so smoothly...was listening to 9mm the other day and was like yeeaaaaa |
snoops a fucken hustla and a cultural icon..
he more than deserve his place on 'hip hop greats' lists.. even if 90% of his songs are poppy garbage these days you know hes doing what he got to do to survive n keep the cash flowing. |
and the winner for most "textcee" answer possible is-

These are my top 10 debut albums that fit into that category (solo rapper who wasn't previously in a group that released an album): 1. Nas, Illmatic 2. Notorious B.I.G., Ready to Die 3. Jay-Z, Reasonable Doubt 4. O.C., Word ... Life 5. Slick Rick, The Great Adventures of Slick Rick 6. Big Pun, Capital Punishment 7. Snoop Doggy Dogg, DoggyStyle 8. Young Jeezy, Let’s Get It: Thug Motivation 101 9. Redman, Whut? Thee Album 10. 50 Cent, Get Rich or Die Tryin' (Note: I counted Infinite as Eminem's debut and Section.80 as Kendrick Lamar's debut.) Obviously, my taste swings toward the East Coast. I don't have a problem with someone having DoggyStyle at or nearer to the top of that list. But I will say that putting DoggyStyle above The Chronic seems like a stretch. |
Get these reps for Thug Motivation
|
Section. 80 was dope tho....maybe not top 10 tho
Also WORD to thug motivation. That shit still slaps. |

but yeah, I'd put it behind Nas and Biggie for sure, personally I like it better than Reasonable Doubt since Hov was riding off the established NY classicism of Illmatic and Ready to Die (not to say RD was derivative, just not groundbreaking). You could say that about Doggystyle vis a vis The Chronic, but I'd disagree. The Chronic established the west coast stylistically, but Doggystyle perfected it - I think it's aged a lot better than The Chronic tbh. |
lol funny
what, I can't not like snoop? it's not like I don't listen to other rappers. snoop just rhymes blue w/ poo n gets away w/ it cuz of his swag n voice I prefer others, so suck a dick |

@Barcotic I said you had the better multis and tied for punches, wasn't a hate vote or anything. |
Snoop is like 13th on my all time list if i had one
|
Snoop had one great album. The rest can be classified as good to horrible. He does have a shit load of really incredible guest appearances tho
|
Snoop cemented himself as a leading influence in Hip Hop though....
fa shizzle my nizzle cooking with Martha Stewrizzle |
@quaker oats:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VgSxJkaC-A But I realized I'm an idiot for including it on the list because Aceyalone had made two albums with Freestyle Fellowship. |

like.. you say he "gets away" with simple rhymes because his voice and his swag (there's more to it than that, that makes him dope). but to be quite honest all the things that make snoop dope are more important to hip hop than his ability to make complex rhyme schemes. gimme music with vibe and personality over any of them monotone lyrical miracle cats any day. and I like underground/indie hip hop too. I fuck with a lot of "lyricist" type rappers. but they music has to have a vibe to it. and multies and punchlines for the sake of multis n punchlines gets old quick. there's no wrong opinion tho here tho, nahmean. to each their own, diffrint strokes, etc. |
