a lot of yall in here arguing against the wrong points and obviously didnt watch the video or didnt comprehend it. yall keep saying Pac was bigger in 96. go back and listen to the clip. Glasses said that at no point was Pac bigger than Snoop in 93, 94, or 95. (you can obviously throw in 92). Charlemagne said Pac was bigger once Pac got to Death Row. He cited AEOM and Glasses said "because of Snoop". even Envy said Snoop was the biggest rap star of all time. Glasses said Pac wasnt as big as B.I.G...but thats all you nikkas hear....not catching the rest of the context....BEFORE AOEM.
Pac first single was California Love and that came out at the end of 95 right? that was his first Death Row single right? that was his most successful single right?
so if anything, the only argument here should be who was bigger in 95? because that is the only year that Glasses said Snoop was bigger that would even be debatable. before that was Snoop, after that was Pac. He didnt say Snoop was bigger than Pac in 96 and said that for the 9 months (and posthumously) Pac was bigger.
man cotdamn. I give up. fukk are not getting here??? he was saying that there was a BRAND that was already established. that brand was established by the business moves of Suge and the music backdrop of Dre and Snoop. without them there would be no fukking Death Row for Pac to even join!!! Pac was huge, but joining Death Row put him on another level. Safe to say he wouldve never reached that level under Iovine because they probably couldnt have got him there because you needed someone to capture the market like Suge did. the whole gangsta image, etc... then there is the matter of Dre's production. all of this took Pac to another level. Dre produced California Love. if you want to argue what Glasses is saying then argue that maybe it was more Suge and Dre that took Pac to another level and to a lesser degree Snoop. Without Suge and Dre there is no Death Row. but without Snoop Death Row would not have been the label it was. Can you say the same for Pac?
Saying Snoop was bigger in '92-'95 is completely pointless because:
1. He had a Dre co-sign and single ("Deep Cover").
2. He was all over Dre's first post-NWA release ("The Chronic")
3. He had a full solo album ("Doggystyle") produced by Dre, who at the time was arguably the biggest producer in hip-hop.
Pac had
NONE of those things. So the comparison is hilariously lop sided in Snoop's favor. I mean....anyone arguing that angle is not even
attempting to be subjective.
Dre is the reason Death Row was successful. Dre was the reason Snoop was successful. You remove the Dre co-sign, nobody even knows who the fukk Snoop is. Dre leaves, Snoop's follow up album was weak as fukk.
So if you give a '92-'95 Pac what Snoop everything Snoop had to work with....Pac would've been, what Snoop was.
Fred.
it is .... what it is
