this board and people of similar ilk would dismiss him as a mixtape rapper that "cant make tracks".
and unless hes backed by puffy or somebody, he would be boxed out of the game while the true all-time greats like kendrick, drake, j.cole, etc "dominate" the airwaves & award shows.
he'd get no play on hot 97 because he would be seen as "minor league".
theres no way he could survive such a competitive scene like today's rap game. rap has evolved so much since then.
eh, i remember wayne being a hearthrob back in the hot boy days, before he started looking like a scare-crow.
but then again, that was before he was taken seriously as a solo artist, so it doesnt coincide with his "run".

AINT IT THE TRUTH?
I thinkwould have done well in this era. Party music, laid back lyrics, sings a bit but won't simp on a record, and if he was fighting a murder charge, there'd be interest. It'd be like 50 and Ja (with Drake playin' Ja's role). Snoop would take what Drake does and be 10x better at it, and all the rap fans starving for change would back him on it.
since when did 50 cent do jarule's style better than him?
youre on your own there.
mainstream fans like whatever is spoon-fed to them.
and they get up more for aggression & creativity actually.

Drake being considered the pinnacle of rap right now is wrong on so many levels
I'm confused breh. I thought the point you were making was that Snoop would take what Drake is doing, aka making simp music, and do it 100% better.
Uncle Snoop taught us not to love them hoes and it ain't no fun if the homies can't fukk too. You trying to tell me Uncle Snoop would be a simp in 2014

mark my words.
by next year, the next big industry plant will be an agressive street rapper that really aint bout chit, and pushes a bunch of agendas on the low-low.
he will be credited with saving hip-hop. it'll prolly be a new york dude too. that'll make it seem even more legit.

If Big debuted this year he'd likely blow up and get heralded for "bringing new york back" ... ain't like we're talking about GZA or some shyt, it's fukking Biggie...he still has all the qualities to be a major star in the game to this day, he's not some ole boring outdated nyc rippity rapper...had a dynamic flow and delivery, mad charisma, and hitmaking ability..was versatile as fukk...Ross has basically rode an upper mid card run for like 5 years straight now doing Biggie-Lite...the genuine article would be even bigger...Biggie today would be like a more dynamic Ross but with transcendent hit single ability (the thing that's kept Ross from the top of the card IMO)

never thatWhat I meant was remember how soft the game was before 50 came through with GRODT? Ja was on his "What Would I Be Without You" shyt.
Fif came through and took shyt to the gutter again, but mixed in some of the singing/harmonizing that Ja was running the game with. Snoop would be on his pimp shyt and do the same...basically be more believable than Drake when on the street stuff, but also be #HOH when it came time to sing a little.
