AllHipHop News) Snoop Dogg is now an OG in the rap game. His latest album Bush comes 22 years after his debut Doggystyle, so the Long Beach legend has seen Hip Hop’s transformation over the last two decades firsthand.

In Snoop’s view, one thing that has changed is the way modern-day rappers borrow from their predecessors. He spoke about biting versus paying tribute during an interview with Pigeons and Planes.

Snoop said:

I don’t know who is who when they doing that rap style, and I love them all! I love Future, Migos, I love all them. Drake. They my n*ggas, but I don’t know who is who when the record is over. When I came out as a rapper, everyone had their own style. If you sounded like someone else, that word was called biting. You biting my style, you biting my sh*t. If you paying tribute, like I did with “La Di Da Di” with Slick Rick and Doug E. Fresh—I paid n*ggas who I grew up loving. I’m gonna redo your song, get you paid all over again, and let everybody know it’s your sh*t, and put a twist on it for the new kids who don’t even know it exist. That’s a different way of showing love as opposed to everyone rapping the same style.

So y'all agree?

Sound like a hating ass New Yorker.

There's hardly anything new under the sun anymore...alot of what's "new" is actually hybridized material with a new and old twist...You can find the DNA of older rappers even in the new generation

For example:

Krit=ugk,pimp c

Asap rocky=bone thugs,twistsa

Freddie gibbs=2 pac,scarface

Danny brown=ODB

Joey badass=bootcamp clik,buckshot

Kendrick=Eminem,2 pac,E 40 etc

Jay electronica=nas,rakim,jay z,biggie

Nicki minjai=foxy brown,lil kim

There is however a few niggas with very unique styles..niggas like schoolboy q,cyhi the prince etc

What snoop said applies to the mainstream but not so much the underground scene..

I agree wit this post except for the jay elect and Asap comparisons. The hell has jay elect accomplished for u to mention him with those names? Lol
 
I know what he's saying...

There are a few albums of late that pretty much have at least one song on them that sounds the same due to the flow & cadence on the track...

Niggas agree now? But when a rapper from the 80s says the same shit, I hear all types of "old bitter ass niggas"

Cuz Snoop is still relevant

I agree. You can somewhat say the same thing about pop/rnb artist.

The weeknd=that try me singin mufucka=jerimih=Dream, in my opinion

Nigguhs are consistently inconsistent.
 
Of course he's right. But I also think it's how vocals are fucked with in the studio. Dudes aren't using their natural voices and cadence. Then, the engineers are adding shit to their voices.
 
disagree....look at all the quality albums recently....krit doesn't sound like cole, cole doesn't sound like kendrick, kendrick doesn't sound like lupe..so on and so forth

if anything i think a lot of 90's nyc rap sounds way more similar than the rap coming out today, then again thats just a region but it applies

not sure you can say jay electronica sounds like anyone he only has dropped 10 songs in his entire life

Nah he has over 50 songs..

He has mimicked rakim,jay,nas,big in most of those shits...

And for the record bone thugs cannot be compared to asap but yes asap has taken from their style,as well as 36 mafia's and ugk's..
