Props to snoop for staying main stream and finding a niche but his music was awful, after doggy style it was all trash. Dmx put out straight up bangers , his first three albums were good from the first song to the last.
Exactly
Snoop has lived off his first album, features, and hanging out with Martha Stewart

Goin in for some reason ALOT of people felt Snoop would just wash DMX. (Completely understand Snoop catalog is vast and overwhelming for dam near 99% of artist, has three pop hit #1 and 11 top 10 while DMX has none which is shocking) But goin in DMX has a couple things that people underestimated, he got Swizz in his corner who owns verzus and understands the format (you not fighting snoop entire catalogue, pick the right songs, dont chase his undeniable win songs with one of your bigger records, etc.) he got high energy records/street anthems (those play well in this format), X is a legend in his own right, those first few albums are front to back classics.
Snoop started out on fire, many probably had it 5-1 or even 6-0 all snoop, then the dogg started playing with his food with off song selection (many have lost this way) and X was able to come all the way back and take lead. How it ended is up for debate, I got snoop closing it out and pulling narrow victory but wouldnt look at anyone sideways if they called a tie or said X won. It was an INSTANT classic tho, The energy was live, Snoop dancing, X when he dropped "slippin" dam man. Real hip hop ****. The bonus freestyling in OT. No PC sjw BS. What a night. Best Verzus they have put together, gonna be hard to top unless they bringing people from the dead back.
After Kanye (hate to admit that) and Jay, DMX might be the most played artist on my phone. Straight workout music. He's Mike Tyson. He had a dominant run, but it was a flash.Dmx was my guy.
Dude wasn’t a lyrical genius but he had a 2 pac feel with the emotion and power to his songs, you felt something. You felt his pain , inner battles , spirituality , dealing with losing his grandmother etc.
I saw him on the Chris rock show doing promo for it’s dark and he’ll is hot. I was instantly hooked.

But Snoop is in that Ali/Mayweather class. It's hard to go compete against a 30 year catalog. No shame in that. Put it like this. These are the songs Snoop didn't even get to last night off the top of my head.

I'll agree on the caricature point, but I think you're selling his musical output short. Dude has legitimately never spit a wack verse.Snoops longevity is based more on selling out , becoming a caricature of himself. Which I’m not mad at , I would too, but it’s not because he’s been putting out good music. He’s rarely donthat. Features is the only thing I can give him a little credit on.
I run with a bunch of hip hop heads from the 90’s and we all said dmx in a landslide. Nobody thought much of snoop.
Respect for hanging around and finding a niche but he’s no LL lol.
