Snoop isn't top 10 to me. On Chronic, Doggystyle, Dogg Food, Above The Rim Soundtrack, and Murder Was the Case Soundtrack he was straight killing shyt on the MC tip. His flow was untouchable. Since then he made a bunch of good to great songs and albums but it was extremely rare to leave a track of his like "damn he killed that shyt". He fell into Ross territory to me where he got by on presence. Knew how to pick beats and make great tracks but for my top 10-20 I want them to be able to bring more than that. For others their criteria is different.

Snoop is good for a hit song getting airplay like every 3-5years...last one was ...."Livin my Best Life" I believe.

Y’all nikkas don’t name one album besides doggy style… my young ass been on here dam near 10 years and y’all nikkas don’t ever mention no other albums from snoop.

R&G my favorite snoop album.

If people actually listened to his discography they’ll see if really doesn’t have a bad album.

It’s not just having a strong discography that counts

Flow
Charisma
Voice

Snoop wins

Most slept in that death row album. It’s fire

Most of these "best" lists - whether rap, sports, etc - are affected by ignorance/lack of respect towards eras in which the voters did NOT grow up in. The sensibility of "if I didn't personally witness it/grow up in it, then it is automatically disqualified from greatness" underpins and permeates the majority of these discussions.

That may not be the case with these two cornballs, but it's definitely true of this website.

Equally, the close mindedness of older heads to discount anything that THEY didn't experience - or that they don't rock with - is just as bad.

That's why there's truly no such thing as a "definitive list", no matter the genre or category. Like, you'll NEVER convince someone's grandad that Wilt or Russell aren't the greatest players ever, you'll never convince 90s heads that the Golden Era truly started in the 80s, etc. I mean, you'll never convince one of my students that NBA Youngboy ain't one of the greatest rappers in history.

You can't legislate subjectivity.

If we're ranking certain deceased rappers on 1 or 2 albums only, then pretty much anything goes.

His DR work alone qualifies Snoop, and he's dropped plenty of quality after.

Fukk these bozos.
