Snoop even says Dre is a true visionary producer, not just a beat maker which people think of when they think production. The only issues I have with Dre is him taking credit for s*** made by other producers, like Daz Dillinger, Barney Rubble, etc.

D.O.C. wrote Snoop’s best music IMO but he’s always been a solid freestyler in his prime.

amazing f***ing thread

the first 69

Also this video is f***ing hilarious lol

Thanks for this threads @El_Senor, always great reads

Somebody sign op to a hip hop publication stat.

Or s*** what if we crowdfunded our own ktt Publication??

@El_Senor

Typically think you’re a pretty trash poster but this series of threads has been really great keep it up b good work

No rapper in history comes close to 92-94 Snoop /

Fire

yessir

I've stopped baiting drek stans, for the most part

Great thread @op made me wanna go back and listen to some vintage snoop

My takeaway from these threads is how much of a d*** Dr. Dre is lol

He keeps scrapping good projects with artists he works with

He underpaid The D.O.C. and didn't help his career even though he always wrote for him

He didn't testify in Snoop's trial

And he criticized The Doggfather, when he could've easily worked with Snoop and fixed it, c'mon

Also he hates fans

Haha he's like Adam Sandler, extremely rich and successful and a household name, but everyone knows he peaked in the 90's and now has mostly bad movies with the occasional good movie, because he's a good actor when he actually tries

lol yeah and plenty of other things. Seems like a d***. But his music

You don’t make it to the 1% being nice

Certainly up there. His run doesn’t get talked about enough. KTT loves numbers, Snoop was doing them numbers fr lol

Technically, a number of rappers have had bigger peaks/runs.

But, when you factor in the era Snoop peaked in, what he did was super impressive.

In the late 90's/early 2000's, hip hop was very commercial(P Diddy and Eminem play a role in that but that's for another topic) and rappers were going multi plat like crazy just off of hot singles. Even Chingy went double plat on his debut.

Snoop blew up in a time where rappers were lucky to go plat, even with hot singles and the biggest sellers were very poppy like Hammer and Vanilla Ice. But PM Dawn who literally had a number 1 song only went Gold.

Snoop sold close to a mill first week as a gangsta rapper talking about "G's Up, Hoes down" with Crip affiliation and had a whole movie based on his murder charge in an era where rap was wasn't anywhere near as commercial as it became.

Also, Doggystyle is undercertified and it technically sold 7-8 million copies in the USA.

Yeah and as somebody said on the first page he was first to really do numbers like that without going the Hammer route.

Don't act like his No Limit run was just trash

doggystyle is goat tier tho. and i dont think many people have dived into his other albums. s***, i havent played a lot from his late 90s - early 2000s s*** in years.

hes got some good stuff in between.
