Twitter debate over who was the bigger star: Snoop Doggy Dogg or 2pac?

[null]

snoop was a more memorable character at the time, someone whose appearance and mannerisms made him stand out in a way tupac didn’t, becoming a brand unto himself.

but, from a musical standpoint, pac was more popular.

snoop was "huggy bear" ... the side man.

never taking the front.

he may have been the “side man,” but his appearance - tall and gangly, with a unique face - turned him into an icon. snoop became a brand off his physical features more than his music.

and pac was pushed by hollywood glitterati and on the cover of rolling stones, time.

across the world more people will know of pac than snoop.

lucas wanted tupac to play windu in star wars ...

Did Tupac Really Audition for 'Star Wars'?

The 'Phantom Menace' role supposedly went to Samuel L. Jackson instead

progress in his murder case just made headline news across the world.

Snoop said himself that even though he was more famous, 2pac was more of a star.

That’s cute but in 93-94 Snoop Doggy Dogg was the face of Gangsta Rap and West Coast Rap being at the forefront

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

Tupac was in movies tho

I just checked when Juice came out and it was released in 92

If Juice was doing Home Alone or Independence Day #s you’d have a point

Doggystyle 800k first week in 1993. Biggest debut album ever (at the time).

But but but people bought the album for the features .

 

[levitate]

ay og's pmo,

Snoop was big like that?

Always looked at him as pac lil homie

Yeah Doggystyle had the hoods going crazy in 93/94.

Pac really went nuclear in popularity with All Eyes on Me in 95. California Love single/video shut the industry down. Nobody was touching that. shyt hit like a blockbuster film.

Agreed.

But I remember when Snoop, even as he was creating one of the most dynamic moments could barely look at the camera lol. Him being more famous is a given for anybody who was actually around, but by his own admission, Pac was a star already and had to bubble on his own without being associated with the previous faces of gangsta rap.

Oh the nikka was shy but it played into the laid back Slick Rick 2.0 thing. 2Pac was always boisterous and front & center even on the come up
