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

[BmoreGorilla]

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.

PAC didn’t reach that level till after he died if we being honest. He was a superstar but 92-94 Snoop was bigger than Pac ever was alive

 

[BmoreGorilla]

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

Hammer was already a star with a platinum plaque under his belt. Can’t Touch This took him international. And that was his third album. You can’t compare that to one hit wonder Vanilla Ice

There’s so much reviosionism when it’s comes to Pac. Irl too. There really was a point in time where he more known for controversy than music. I don’t think he had his biggest hit til Dear Mama. And he had already had two other albums. Back then when we discussed the best MCs his name never came up. Snoop did tho. Not til he died did everyone hop on his dikk. He had just as many haters as fans back then

THATS MY POINT THO

CANT TOUCH THIS CATAPULTED HIM TO THE NEXT LEVEL

VANILLA ICE WAS HUGE FOR A MINUTE THERE - OBVIOUSLY IT DIDNT LAST, BUT HE WAS ABSOLUTELY A POP ICON AFTER ICE ICE BABY DROPPED.

Hammer
Method Man
Snoop
Biggie
Warren G
Dr Dre
Ice Cube

It’s certainly debatable that until Pac put out Me Against The World the above rappers had been above him status wise at some point from 91-95

I Get Around was his standout national hit till Me Against The World but he certainly had a strong following

It wasn’t until All Eyez On Me became the monster on the block

Can any older brehs explain why MC was so popular? This is news to me.

show me that Pac, Snoop or Bobby Mattel doll

 

[Mastamimd]

Hammer
Bobby
Pac
Snoop

This is the correct order. Hammer and Bobby was back when they had to go up against the likes of NKOTB, MJ, or Madonna.

 

[froggle]

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

Wrong . This alone Doggystyle debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, selling 806,858 copies in its first week alone in the United States, which was the record for a debuting artist and the fastest-selling hip-hop album ever.

The lead up to Doggystyle was insane, it wasn't like Hammer, but both the streets and the burbs wanted that Snoop, especially after showcasing out on the Chronic. I remember Snoop was EVERYWHERE and there was just this buzz...waiting for Doggystyle. 1st day cop did not disappoint

VANILLA ICE WAS HUGE WHEN ICE ICE BABY DROPPED .. ALBUM WENT DIAMOND BASED ON THAT SONG. I WASNT COMPARING LEVELS OF FAME, I WAS COMPARING BEING CATAPULTED TO THE NEXT LEVEL BY 1 SINGLE.

If I’m not mistaken To The Extreme Sold like 16 million domestically. At its peak that shyt was selling like a million copies each week

Ok. I thought you were trying to say he was getting the opportunity hammer was. No Super Bowl, no action figure that I know of. He did have a scene in the ninja turtles movie but that was it.

He had his own cartoon, cereal, and toy.

HE DEFINITELY HAD AN ACTION FIGURE

I THINK HE WAS MORE POPULAR THAN WE REMEMBER DUE TO THE FALL OFF BEIN SO BRUTAL

When I’m wrong I’m wrong.

Snoop was the biggest gangster hip hop artist in the mid 90s until Pac signed with Death Row.

His biggest hit came out in the 2000s

 

[NinoBrown]

Hammer without a doubt, he crossed over in every conceivable market that really overshadowed MJ, Bobby Brown, etc...
