Snoop is definitely more famous than hov

I feel like snoop might be a bigger house hold name at this point but he isn’t held to the same reverence that hov is

They're in the same tier, I'd say Snoop is more popular though

Yes

A Hov verse or album still means something and has a certain weight to it. Can’t really say that for snoop

Hov is bigger within hiphop

Snoop is bigger than Hiphop tbh

As a hip hop artist no

He’s bigger as a celebrity

This. Literally everyone knows Snoop

Yes

Yep

WTF kinda question is this lol, Snoop Dogg is the most recognizable human being on earth, and isn't known to be a snob. Of course he's culturally bigger then Jay-Z

And that's not even a diss to Jay, it is what it is.

i understand both arguments but i guess the discussion is hard cuz of semantics, snoop is definitely more ‘known’ he’s iconic but that doesn’t mean he’s the most marketable (in music) or the most respected

jay bigger in music, snoop bigger in general

Hell I might take 50 over Jay

They are in a 3-way tie with 50 for the title of Most Recognizable Rapper as awarded by my mom

snoop is probably the most recognizable rapper on the planet after tupac

For real lol, Jay-Z is not that well liked, he has alot of industry respect if anything.

Yes. Snoop is the most recognizable hip hop figure.

Not even that he's not well liked. I'm thinking of my best friend family from Ukraine they know 50 and Snoop, not all of them knew Hov

Of course. Hov might not even be top 5 in this case.

Ye em 50 snoop pac top5 tbh

Might not even be top 10 worldwide. Outside of the US people barely know and care about him and I don't mean this in a disrespectful way

I think at first glance people would unanimously pick snoop over Hov.

Why wouldn’t you? He’s arguably the most recognisable rapper ever. Snoop could go anywhere on earth and people would know who he is. Can’t say the same for Hov.

But then you have to decipher the most important aspect of the question.

“Culturally bigger in Hip-Hop”

This has nothing to do with international fame and recognition. Strictly the microcosm of hip-hop music and culture.

I don’t think most rappers modelled themselves after snoop.

I don’t think most rappers would put snoop in their top MC’s or rappers lists.

So if that’s the case. Hov wins by a landslide.

Within hip hop they’re equals in terms of fame. Outside of hip hop snoop is way bigger
