snoop by far

dre took him from a small time criminal to the biggest rapper on earth, snoop is the michael jackson of the rap world, every generation knows who he is from old ass grannys from dublin ireland to 3 yr old toddlers in new zealand snoop was global before shady even got on

snoop



yeah after having detroit on his back, hearing infinite, knowing he was one of the best freestylers in the game, and him being such a character im sure dre and jimmy were so worried :comeon:

An underground artist is already hard enough to market, plus being white before we knew who Eminem was? Big risk.

I'd say it was a risk .

On paper in the late 90s there was no telling that would work .

Especially considering the SSLP wasn't appealing to the commercial market as much as he does these days .

Jimmy Iovine's marketing of Eminem to the alternative rock market was genius. Dude had Em perform on the 1999 warped tour, wear skateboarding clothes (milkcrate atlhetics tees and circa tshirts). Unlike other white rappers now who rock flat brim caps and soul patches and look kind of foolish, Em wore his caps with a curved bill like the rock kids did back in the late 90s. It really wasn't until Em hit it big that he started adopting more hiphop trends, wearing Jordan's and Nikes from 2001-and beyond.

u know what i take that back, i could see how hearing sslp around 1998 you'd be like ":dwillhuh: are we really gonna do this?" its pretty crazy even by todays standards

i still think snoop is better but i see how it was risky on their part
