Why Isn't Snoop Discussed More With The GOATS???

[EmM HoLLa.]

Snoop is legendary.. He may not be regarded as a great lyricist.. But I don't think anyone would call him anything but a Legend.. His fingerprints are all over the game..

EDIT: Drop it like it's hot and Beautiful with Pharrell are a classic hip hop tunes.. Snoop has gems..

 

[The Lonious Monk]

Snoop has always struck me more as a big time Hip Hop personality than a big time Hip Hop artist. After Doggystyle, musically, he did just enough to keep his name relevant, but he never did anything else major after that. As a personality in the game though, he was always doing little things to keep his name ringing. I think if not for that, people wouldn't even talk about him as much as they do now. I ain't going to say everything he did after Doggystle was wack, but it wasn't all that good either.

Snoop got 8 platinum albums, 5 gold albums,17 compilations, 20 mixtapes and people love to reduce him to Doggystyle. Of course he probably the biggest personality ever when it comes to hip hop but when it comes to music he killed it too!

Because snoop more known for being the cool charismatic OG than his music at this point. Nobody got snoop in they top 10

Snoop ain't been shit on a major level in about 10 years

Fuck lol. I googled Young, Wild, & Free. That shit came out 6 years. Time is flying way too fast.

Name me some rappers that came out in 92 that have been popping on a mainstream level in the last 10 years.

I can say none of my favorites. Last big Ghostface album was Fishscale 2006. Last big Scarface album Made 2007. Last Nas album to really make noise Hip Hop is Dead 2006. Ice Cube Laugh Now, Cry Later 2006, Lil Wayne Carter 4 2011.. Biggie 1997, Tupac 1996..

Instead of being disrespectful maybe y'all should educate yourself and go revisit the hot shit he dropped all those years. If you want me to name a list of songs or drop a playlist I can help yall out.

Go back and hear some of the hardest shit Suga Free, Kokane and others was spitting on Snoop albums. It's so many gems.

 

[THE_R_]

I'D ARGUE THAT NAS' LAST BIG ALBUM WAS UNTITLED...

OTHER THAN THAT...YOU MAKE A GOOD POINT...

 

[Revolver Ocelot]

Ego Trippin was fire. Sexual Eruption one of the best songs in music history. I wish they woulda continued that production team of Quik, Dogg and Teddy Riley.

Neva Have 2 Worry, Press Play, Set's Up, Waste of Time all superb records that don't sound like anything else. Also that Cool remake and the country jawn with Willie Nelson was some crazy shit. I was high as hell listening to that Willie Nelson song vibing out one day.

FOH

I think this is spot on.

Snoop the most overrated "legend"

One of most memorable nights in the past couple years this was 2015 I believe during NLDS Mets vs. Dodgers was going.. Me and the homies went to the club I was playing Young Thug Slime Season 1 and some classic Gucci Mane while I was driving. I was way too bent off some Jack Daniels but for some reason still drove. Went to this big club but shit was wack so my drunk ass left my homeboys and walked in the rain to this hole in the wall spot down the street where the homie DJ's at.. I'm chilling with a double shot of whiskey in my hand kinda bored.. that Sexual Eruption dropped I immediate gravitated to the dance floor.. had the baddest jawn in the spot right on me by the middle of the song we were both on the floor vibing b. I took shorty home that night and hulk smashed. I owe Snoop for the pussy because when that song came on I lost control of my body. One of the hardest modern songs ever.

Bruh, Tha Doggfather went platinum and that album is universally decried as one of the worst follow-ups ever. If all that matters to you is sales, that's fine, but I'm not getting any money from his records sales so I don't give a fuck about his plaques. He's got one Classic and a bunch of other albums that range from trash to pretty good. From a musical standpoint his catalog is forgettable regardless of how many plaques he has. Nobody is running around talking about Snoop has one of the best Catalogs in rap. Hell, a lot of people out there probably didn't even know he had 8 albums period, let alone 8 platinum albums.

 

[natural born sinners]

Because while Doggystyle is a classic and easily a top 5 gangsta rap album, the rest of his albums are well bleh.

This right here. Is the LL cool J effect also. He been around a very long time dropping sub par shit which has affected how we look at his early classic material. He is a goat in terms of impact, but not so much catalog wise

 

[GetoBoy]

Lol at judging Snoop by him not dropping another Doggystyle smh.... Guess it's one of those things where you set the bar so high ppl are disappointed when you don't reach that bar again.... Funny thing is ppl will talk about a nigga like Andre 3000 in terms of the goats and he ain't even dropped one solo album

 

[Jonah 2.0]

Snoop is a hip hop icon/legend but I can't say he's one of the greatest of all time when it comes to MCs.

I don't care about album sales. You're the one who said he wasn't relevant musically after Doggystyle. Just pointing out that you're incorrect.

To be truthful most people on this site and in general have terrible taste in music and hardly know what the fuck they're talking about and more limited than they realize so I don't care if they appreciate Snoop's catalog. I know myself personally am seasoned in all genres and especially hip hop and I can vouch for Snoop. Most people go off general perception and don't take the time to thoroughly listen. It would do you some good to revisit a lot of music. Just because Doggfather was decried sophomore doesn't mean it wasn't hot. People did the same with It Was Written and In My Lifetime, Vol 1. If you really want to get into it we can go into every album and what they were musically. Doggfather had the Vapors. How can you hate on that?? What about the record with Sticky Fingaz on No Limit Top Dogg?? The song with C-Murder ain't a top 5 aggressive song in rap history? Go back and listen to Hennessy N Buddah, True Lies, Stacy Adams. Soulful songs like I Believe In You featuring Latoiya Williams on Paid Da Cost. R&G is definitely a classic albums. Nobody else ever fused music like that. Bootsy Collions and Charlie Wilson not just working with anybody. Blue Carpet Treatment one of the best albums of mid 2000's and so much heat was dropping during that time. Y'all really just be talking out the side of your head. I could keep going.

Lol at judging Snoop by him not dropping another Doggystyle smh....

ITS THE DOUBLE-EDGE SWORD...

I PERSONALLY DON'T THINK ANOTHER DOGGYSTYLE WAS EVER REALISTIC...

ESPECIALLY AFTER BEATING THAT CASE SHORTLY AFTER ITS RELEASE...

THEN PAC GETTING KILLED ALONG W/ THE TURMOIL @ THA ROW...

HE NEEDED SOME NEW SHIT THAT WASN'T "ANOTHER DOGGYSTYLE"

I THINK HE WENT FOR THAT AND SUCCEEDED...

BUT JUST NO CLASSIC ALBUMS...
