Cube > Snoop

Better lyricist, more classics, etc.

I ORIGINALLY HAD CUBE AT 2, BUT I PERSONALLY LOVE DOGGYSTYLE MORE THAN ANY CUBE ALBUM + SNOOP ENDED UP BEIN THE BIGGER WEST COAST RAP ICON .. SNOOP’S RUN FROM 92-2002 PUT HIM ON THAT GOAT TIER. HE’S LOWKEY STILL DROPPIN FIRE AT THE AGE OF 50 TOO.

List is solid. I would have Eazy E and Dr dre lower cuz they didn't write a lot of stuff but I understand their place from a legacy stadpoint. I'd have the The Game higher (the doc is one of my fav albums ever), and not sure about putting Dom K above Kendrick and Nip considering how hard he fell off although I probably bumped Dom's music more than the other 2. Overall a solid list, a lot of names I haven't listed to in a minute and need to get on it.

if Mausberg didn't die he'd be much higher on a list like this :mjcry:

yeah i was gonna say Cube should be #2 and Snoop #3, but you're right Snoop had a longer run and still drops good shyt

YEA, I FACTORED IN LEGACY, IMPACT, CATALOGUE, AND STATURE, WHICH IS WHY I HAVE DRE AND EAZY SO HIGH ..... EAZY WAS WRITING HIS OWN RHYMES POST NWA BTW.

I KNOW KENDRICK IS A BETTER TECHNICAL RAPPER, BUT I FEEL DOM’S MUSIC MUCH MORE, AND HE’S GOT CLASSIX TO BACK IT.. NIP WAS CLIMBIN THE LIST, PROBABLY WOULDA ENDED UP ABOUT 10 SPOTS HIGHER IF HIS LIFE WASNT CUT SHORT.

MONEY ON MAUSBERG.

Looking at this list, I don't have enough time to break down all my issues with it, but here's the biggest one:

I'm a fan of most of the people on this list, but there's no fukking way The Game should be at #22 and Kendrick Lamar should be at #35 based on their success in their respective eras. Kendrick Lamar is a Top 5 West Coast MC, and Game should be in the Top 10.

ITS NOT 100% BASED ON SUCCESS .. KENDRICK HAS GREAT ALBUMS, BUT TO ME, HE DOESNT EVEN HAVE 1 CLASSIC. GAME HAS CLASSIX BUT HE DOESNT HAVE THE IMPACT OR LEGACY, AND HE’S ALSO LACKIN IN HIS OWN SIGNATURE SOUND.
