He’s a top 10 rap personality…not sure where I would rank him all time as an actual rapper/artist, but I know not top 10…I haven’t even bothered to listen to the vast majority of his albums…I know Doggystyle forwards and backwards but haven’t heard a whole snoop joint since he was on no limit…he had a run where he was the go to feature for the generic “west coast” (or sometimes, alternately, the generic “smoke weed”) song on albums in the 2000s that almost always earned an auto skip for me
I haven’t proactively actually wanted to hear snoop rap for the overwhelming bulk of his career…but he’s in my top ten rap “icons” off sheer force of personality
