When 2pac was alive.......2pac. Now. Not a fair comparison.

Depends on the year. Pac started to surpass him because of all the controversy, the jail sentence, and the Me Against the World album in 95. By 96 it wasn't even a debate. Obviously before that Snoop was far more popular.

Snoop said himself that even though he was more famous, 2pac was more of a star.

'93 Snoop is only matched by '03 50...

I was 12 in 93...

fukk no! Snoop always was the more household name. Pac became iconic after he passed away, Snoop is the rap poster child. PAC is a rap legend.

2pac ain't all that but everybody and they mama knows that snoop's death row (round I stuff) was a collab effort and that 2pac moved in to be the main act.

doggy style was the chronic 1.5 by snoop and about 50 other rappers.

snoop is rap's biggest side act. never the main man.

Definitely Snoop. Snoop was a household name performing on SNL and shyt

The original tweet in the OP is correct.

Snoop was bigger in 93/94

 

[Unbothered]

From '92-'94 Snoop Doggy Dogg was Hip-Hop's biggest superstar. His features on The Chronic, Doggystyle, and Murder Was The Case Soundtrack (along with his murder trial) cemented him as the biggest star during that period.

I wasn't even alive then but looking back at old footage, clips, interviews, etc pretty much says it all.

Tupac didn't become a star until '96 after he was bailed out from prison and signing with Death Row. Death Row made him a superstar.
