Maybe because snoop is actually top 10 candidate

If he retired after 8 Mile then he might be been s***ting on his legacy for way too long now

You real asf what in tf

Cry more

It's not 2002

not now but overall he is quite easily actually.

pretty much every rapper falls off or dies

At his shows,
mj has people dressing like him at weddings and s***
People impersonate Elvis for weddings in Las Vegas religiously

There are competitions for their level of impersonation, that's how common it is.

I'm sure you can catch a MJ impersonator at funerals
(googled it and yep here y'all go)

Eminem gets his fans to dress like him just like Britney does and Janet Jackson and beyonce...
He's a legend to mainstream pop culture for sure but not (MJ/ELVIS Level )

Not revival levels

yes revival levels. that one's just especially corny

I said I Like rap God. Never said it's amazing.

How big is Nas outside of the US? He has fans just like Jay, but they nowhere near Em or 50 worldside. Or Snoop. They're the biggest names globaly.

Andre isn't big at all as soon as you leave the US.

People always with what ifs.

If Snoop had died after Doggystyle no one would have expected him to fall this hard or work with anyone over some checks.

He would have been top 5 for sure just cause of The Chronic and Doggystyle plus Death Row days.

the eminem hate is real here but he deserved it tbh.

he could be top 5 or top 50 its weird with eminem

Em grabbed what people could say against him and said it himself, battle rap style.

He never said that no one gave a f*** about a white rapper before or took them seriously.

Except the beastie boys, I guess.

Sir, what part of people not knowing s*** about hip hop don't you understand?

Most are mainstream casuals
They probably like jayz cuz of his songs with Kanye (niggas in Paris was a hit, and Otis too)
some people don't even Know he beefed with nas and never listened to the blueprint: these people aren't fans of hip hop, they like trendy, new music

Same goes for 50 cent who has hits and snoop Dogg

They don't have to like old school rap but not knowing your history disqualifies them for the discussion around certain rap related topics as all they Know is mainstream succes whilst ignoring how their faves got
That succes.

Some people check older stuff some people dont.

Here u have people calling everything that happened before Drake and Kendrick dust. And this is a rap forum. Not casuals.

What’s that
📠

Same thing could be said about Snoop then. And his discography is way worse.

Dude even dropped a bible album. But he's not Ye, so people didn't care and acted like Ye invented Jeovah witness rap.

You really believe that 8 mile movie line huh
well it's not true : for one he never outed himself as having a racist past, benzino did.
All he did after being exposed is apologize and have his label legally clean up his mess for him.

He also dodged rap beefs against cage, evidence and k-rino (rumor has it he squashed it behind the scenes with evidence because he didn't want part 2 of hiss diss to release, evidence hung around the same crowd as eminem and it is to be believed he had some compromising info)

He would have been if he had retired after The Chronic, Doggystyle and 2001.
You know? Just like people say Em was only good until 2002.

this

With how successful Em is/has been in his prime, it's a shock he doesn't have much influence on the younger rappers. He has a lot of impact but not much influence

the adventures of moon man & slim shady out now

Pretty much Hard Knock Life was my favourite album when it came out in grade 7 and the man's still going strong
