In their prime who was bigger : Bobby Brown ,2pac , Snoop Dogg and Mc hammer ?

[Tenchi Ryu]

Snoop don’t even belong on this list with the rest of them

I wouldn't necessarily say that, hilariously with snoop he's probably the most famous he's ever been now than even his prime.

Dre Day snoop was just know as some rapper who was having a murder case.

Current day snoop is adored by white people. But it ain't his prime like the thread wants.

Hammer was out of this world

Initially I was goin to say Bobby Brown, but hammer was huge. “You can’t touch this”was played constantly on the radio, Over and over again.

 

[ThaBoyBam]

Gotta go with Hammer. My grandma copped all his tapes and recored all his videos back in the day. She was born in the 30s. That says a lot.

Yea I feel like Snoop's popularity took a boost when he started that Pimp phase, when he started to be noticed outside of his music and more for his persona...

Once he started doing that "Fa shizzle" shyt , white people(no rap listeners) started to fukk with him

 

[Booker T Garvey]

Hammer in the late '80s - early '90s.

Dude was the only rapper who was Michael Jackson, Prince, Madonna, Janet Jackson level famous

And other rappers hated that man for it

Then they turned around and started doing movies and Sprite commercials when he fell off

Ice Cube is in my top 10 but he was a bytch for coming at Hammer. Hammer never sold out, stayed with his black wife and took everyone out of the hood.

Ice Cube, Who was in the NOI at the time, was doing beer commercials and crossed over doing family movies. I can’t defend hypocrisy.

 

[Rell84shots]

And people make jokes about MC Hammer going broke. He tried to employ ALL his people. You hear people like Diddy, Birdmam etc. Screwing their artists out of contracts, Hammer tried to take as many people out of the hood and have them eat.

That’s why I was never cool with people making him the butt of their jokes for going broke when plenty of artists before him went broke too.



No rapper was doing numbers like him at the time.

If you follow Hammer on Twitter you'll see that he's doing great financial, and he deserves it for being one of the real ones in music.

i'm kidding, but you can't blame me for my childhood tastes. It was Ghostbusters and MC Hammer until i was tall enough to ride the rides.

 

[The Amerikkkan Idol]

HE WAS THAT FAMOUS BECAUSE OF CANT TOUCH THIS

U CAN SAY THE SAME FOR VANILLA ICE

BUT AS FAR AS CHARACTER AND REACH, SNOOP AND PAC WERE FAR MORE THAN THEIR MUSIC

FALSE

Hammer was famous WAYYY before "U Can't Touch This"

Let's Get It Started went double platinum back when rappers didn't go double platinum unless they were Run-DMC or White (Beastie Boys).

Hammer's fame kind of built and built and built.

A lot of people don't even remember that Hammer KINDA started the East Coast/West Coast beef when he started clowning Run-DMC & LL Cool J.

Dude was already running things by '89 in terms of pop rap

Eh, that's after 2pac died.

2pac wasn't Africa famous in his prime.

Snoop don’t even belong on this list with the rest of them

I disagree.

Snoop was the biggest thing in music the day "Doggystyle" came out.

There had never been anything like it. Before Snoop, only Hammer & Vanilla Ice could sell the it did.

Dude sold 800,000 records his first week. That was like a record until I think 50 Cent broke it years later.

In this era, Snoop was fukking iconic, much bigger than Pac, Biggie, Hammer, and Bobby Brown at this point

Yea I feel like Snoop's popularity took a boost when he started that Pimp phase, when he started to be noticed outside of his music and more for his persona...

Once he started doing that "Fa shizzle" shyt , white people(no rap listeners) started to fukk with him

Dude, White folks were fukkin' with Snoop when "The Chronic" came out. That shyt completely shifted the culture. White kids in Alabama & Mississippi started dressing like Snoop and talking about smoking weed and shyt.

He was on trial for murder, so he was on TV everyday around the same time the OJ murder trail was happening.

Snoop was the most dangerous, talked about thing going in like '93/'94.

This is UNTIL 2pac gets shot and the East Coast/West Coast beef got out of control, which helped push Pac into superstardom

He does more so than Pac..who doesnt love Snoop?
Doggystle Snoop was so huge the world stood still. His success built Death Row.

Snoop was arguably the most famous rapper on the planet during the doggystyle era. Only hammer was bigger than him at that point. PAC didn’t reach that level of fame until a year or so after.

 

[Starboy52]

Either Hammer or Pac.

Snoop during doggystyle was more than just some rapper. By his murder case no other rapper not named Mc hammer was bigger than him. 93-94 pac wasn’t that famous even with Juice/Poetic Justice/Above the rim to his name
