Snoop Dogg sat down with The Breakfast Club earlier this week where he revealed Eminem wasn’t on his Top 10 rappers list — dead or alive. When asked why, the gangsta rap pioneer explained, “Cause there’s some niggas in the ’80s he can’t fuck with. Like Rakim, like Big Daddy Kane, like KRS-One, like LL Cool J, shall I go on? Like Ice Cube. You understand me?”
He made sure to note Em is still someone he respects, even though he’s not on Snoop’s list of favorite MCs.
“I ain’t got no time to play with it — it is what it is,” he added. “Like cuz did that. He did that to the fullest. That’s one of my teammates. That’s one of my brothers. He did that. But when it comes to this Hip Hop shit that I can’t live without, I can live without that.”
After showing love to Slim Shady via Instagram on Friday (July 31), Snoop has returned with his official list of his Top 10 rappers of all time or as he says, “Mines not yours.”
The list includes Slick Rick, Ice Cube, LL COOL J, KRS-One, Rakim, Run and DMC from Run-DMC, Big Daddy Kane, Ice-T and Too $hort.
Unsurprisingly, Snoop’s initial comments on The Breakfast Club sparked an impassioned debate on social media. As the multiplatinum-selling rapper explained in the caption, he was sick of everyone complaining and basically wanted to shut people up.
“A lot niggaz been cryin about me leaving people off my top 10 without Even seeing my shit so here it is,” he wrote. “F. Y. I. Notice how none of my peers or mCs after me are on the list respect ya Gz is what I was taught. if u offended you’ll get over it. I get left off a lot of top 10s I’m not even on this one.”
Snoop Dogg Shows Love To Eminem After Leaving Him Off Top 10 Rappers DOA List
Snoop originally told Charlamagne Tha God, DJ Envy and Angela Yee he feels Dr. Dre has a lot to do with people putting Eminem in the upper echelon of MCs.
“Eminem? The Great White hope?” Snoop said. “White rappers had zero respect in rap, let’s keep that 1-thowwow. None. He [Dre] has probably put Eminem in the position to where he could be like labeled as one of Top 10 rappers ever. I don’t think so, but the game feels like he’s Top 10 lyricist and all that comes with it but that’s just because he’s with Dr. Dre and Dr. Dre helped him find the best Eminem he could find.”
Check out his comments below.
No hov?
Hov ain’t even Top 100 what you talking about!?
Cuz Snoop’s a fucking mutt
No 2pac either which is pretty strange
Any one else having this site eat their comments?
“Unsurprisingly, Snoop’s initial comments on The Breakfast Club sparked an impassioned response from Eminem’s beta male/teenage girl fanbase”
Fixed it for you. I love Eminem (especially everything pre-Recovery), but his fans make me want to throw up. I don’t even think Snoop Dogg is very smart, but he’s entitled to his opinion.
Well if you live your life getting emotional over someone’s fanbase or the type of people you assume they are, then your life must be miserable as fuck. Shouldn’t you be more concerned with who YOU like?????? Just my opinion…
Eminem is a little cuckold bitch but Too Short, Ice T, and Ice Cube are fuckin simple AF as lyricists FOH. Snoop is just being a dickhead to try to get back in the good graces of the racist black women who have been rag dolling him lately.
Nah, Ice Cube and ESPECIALLY Ice T are not simple AF lyricists. Cube simplified his word count a bit as time went on, but in is prime his lyrics were thorough (see the LPs: Straight Outta Compton, Amerikkka’s Most Wanted, and Death Certificate to start). And Ice T has been one of the most gifted lyricists in rap for a long time (see: “Squeeze The Trigger”, “You Played Yourself”, “The Tower”). You gotta come correct if you’re gonna say certain things and you’re off base with those comments toward these guys.
Leave black women out of your mouth. Stfu
Snoop is not a lyricist at all either. Any artist at all who ever used a ghostwriter is automatically disqualified from that catagory and Snoop’s whole career has been full of them. Sorry but I partially respect what Dr Dre and you’ve have done only because if Dre’s and The D.O.C’s influence and your early LBC swagger but after that wore off, we saw that you were pretty much a fraud as an MC and street cred went South once you switched to the Pimpin persona. You’re really honestly upset with Eminem now because he actually work hard from the very bottom and crawl his way to the very top. He earned his spot in hip hop and all the fame,money,and success. You’re bitter about Dre putting more faith in Em than he ever did in you. That’s what this is really about. I’m not even a big Em fan but even I can see this shit. Snoop, you’re a sucka for this. I mean come on, look at all the things you could have done with your career but you choose to sell out for one, you’re also a notorious snitch and hypocrite besides you’re about to hit 50.. Time to grow up. Your credibility as an artist don’t mean shit if your legacy is all about either throwing shade on somebody else’s career or constantly talking trash but can’t back anything up.
Yeah right Snoop likes frontin on people. His real Top 10 is as follows:
1. Tekashi6ix9ine
2. Soulja Boi
3. EA Ski
4. YG
5. Broadus Boyz
6. Dogg Pound Gangstaz
7. Ja Rule
8. Yukmouth
9. T-Pain
10. Kobe Bryant
EM is not a top 10. Like Snoop said, he had a machine behind him. Nobody in the streets listening to EM…he’s platinum because he can reach more of a fan base than black hip hop artists and black folks always over praising white artists who master black culture. He’s dope, but NOT top 10.
Snoop had machine behind him too in 92 otherwise he’d just be another brash rap that nobody’s heard of from LBC. Without Dre’s production and The D.O.C’s writing skills, he wouldn’t exist period. Snoop can’t act like his career did benefit from Dre’s name because it’s not based off his talent since he’s doesn’t really have the hunger or natural given gift(especially since he was nothing more than a sly freestyler who was lucky enough to be homies with Dre’s Stepbrother, Warren G) That and it’s no secret that he uses ghostwriters for a lot of his song so you can’t him seriously. Definitely when most of your biggest songs are not even written by you at all.
So your reasoning for him not being Top 10 is because he had a machine behind him and because he is White and that helped him go platinum…but THEN says “he’s dope”, which is all that should matter in the conversation. Shit is dumb to keep having the same argument over and over again because people harp on him being a WHITE rapper more than just being nice on the mic. Shit is dumb and makes it look like Black people are insecure as fuck. There could be 9 other dope Black MCs on that list, but the 1 White one just can’t happen. FOH.
He is Top 10 because of technical ability, alsting impact and for doing something original (the slim shady psycho character).
He doesn’t have Tupac, Biggie or Jay-Z in his top 10 and you know what, that’s fine cause it’s HIS list. If I did a top 10 list it would have 2pac, Biggie and Jay-Z in some order but it’s not my list. All these people who are going to war for Eminem need to chill, how are you going to tell this man who he is supposed to think is the best. Eminem is cool but his fans be doing too much.
Dude it’s not about having top 10 including Eminem it’s about respect they way he said it was very disrespectful and he brought that racist shit
Kind of a weird list. Ice-T has not had lasting impact and became more of an actor. Same could be said for Cube to a much lesser extent since dude still has it and puts out albums. I wonder what he thinks makes a top 10 since with this list he posted it clearly isn’t technical ability or lasting impact.
Seriously it’s just a weird list.
Hey. Look at my username and relax from the internets today.
You need a Columbia neck tie.
Ice-T is one of the forefathers of gangsta rap. Before him there were only Schoolly D and Just-Ice but these two labeled their music as ‘reality rap’ and Ice was the 1st who came up with the ‘gangsta rap’ idea. Dre and NWA only popularized the genre and did not invent anything. Ice-T was the ultimate mc in the early 90s who had major hits and underground respect, too. You better learn history before you talk shit.
I know history, I know the whole cop killer bullshit, doesn’t change a damn thing about what I said. By your logic Snoop is top 10 for bringing Gfunk to the masses.
Snoop made that Six Nine got more money than him and is free now lol
I don’t like that my comments are not showing up
Do you feel like an idiot now?
They showed up like HOURS after I posted them and some have still not shown up on other threads, so no
Seriously why are my comments not showing up
Hello hello
test test test
Man this site is eating so many of my comments, anyone else?
If mafuckas could read shit, they’d see his list is compiled of Pioneers, that broke thru wicked, I understand HIS top ten, the era before his. I’m an 80s baby late 90s teen, Pac n Biggie, Wu, Sickwidit.
U forgot OutKast who killed shit in the 90s in between the East Vs West shit, they held it down
I got Em in my top 5 or 6. But I respect Snoop’s list because it’s HIS list. He gave props to the pioneers.
Why would snoop have em in his top 5 though like seriously em would agree with snoop these are Mcs he grew up on too.
Except for too short
No D.O.C. , huh…
Matter of preference. My top rappers had their best shit between 85-95 because that is what I grew up on. Just like my favorite ball players of all time.
Same here.. other than Jay-Z, my Top 10 is between 86-95.
He knows the 4 MC’s he intentionally left of the list.
Snoop is just mad that Eminems White ass is better than him, and it’s not even close? Snoop Dogg is the most overran rapper in history. Without Dre’s beats he was nobody facts
Say that without crying about another guy’s opinion. Also, Eminem would’ve been nobody if he wasn’t signed by Dre. Both Snoop & Em are legends tho, but you’re a 13-year-old fck-up who doesn’t go outside and wines about everything.
Kendrick Lamar ??
Cool j and too short oh please where is big L, em would torch cool j and short any day of the week easily.
I love me some Too Short. Ant Banks, all the West Coast pimpin, but Too Short wouldn’t make my list either. Of course neither would Pac or Hov.
It’s his opinion. I respect Eminem and he is in my personal top 10, but everyone has their own tastes and preferences. I give Snoop credit for being honest and to be fair, his list reflects that he much prefers the old school of hip-hop. And Eminem is humble enough to not take it as a slight, it’s just his hardcore fans that get indignant over this kind of stuff. People need to chill.
Terrible 10
you’re an idiot
I don’t care about him leaving Eminem off his list. But his explanation is stupid. Many of the best rappers had a mentor who brought them up. Snoop himself highly benefited from the help of Dr. Dre and Master P. That’s why I think it is stupid to say that Eminem as a white boy would not be that big if Dr. Dre did not push him.
= l..this just looks like a list from a stuck up old head..
This is my list..
1.Eminem
2.Jay Z
3.Tupac
4.Biggie
5Nas
6.Kanye
7.Lil Wayne
8.Lupe Fiasco
9.Drake
10.Lauryn Hill
GTFOH
Bad Top 10.
Props to Snoop for this list because it’s believably honest. Snoop either reflects some of those MCs influence in some of his music or style…or you can definitely see how they’re his favorite if you know a bit of his music or background. This is a true to the artist top 10. Most real dudes dont have Em in their top 10 anyways. Let’s keep it all the way real. Snoop kept it real; Ice Cube took a shit on the man who helped Snoop a great deal and he still made his list.
L l cool j wrote RunDMC raps, so technically he got 3 spots on his top 10..I thought he would have had cool g rap on his top list
not true kid…….he wrote one song- “Together Forever”
no one cares that Em isnt on his top 10. But its really weird to single out the white guy and talking about why hes not top 10. say something about jay z. say something about biggie. say something about tupac. those are 3 people not on his list but are on a lot of lists. oh but they black.
yall remember when snoop blamed tupac for his own use of the word bitch? well snoop a bitch.
What led Snoop to talk about Em was he was talking about Dre and his achievements… Eminem would be of the first names to be associated with Dre, so that’s why he talked about him.
This is why I love hip hop I doubt if anyone top 10 list would be the same. Here’s mine 1rakim 2. LL cool j 3. Krs1 4 ice cube. 5.nas 6.Big daddy mane 7. Pac 8.biggie 9 lil Wayne 10 queen Latifah
One thing I like about Snoop is his respect for the pioneers. He used to do rap covers on his albums. Lodi Dodi (this was even better than the original), Vapors, DP gangsta, Ghetto Symphony. I always loved this on his old albums. Freaky Tales from In Tha Beginning compilation. Classic. His top 10 is great. Good list Snoopy. Now make a dope album and we good
I’m glad he doesn’t have Gay-Z, Nas Tescobar, Piggie Smalls and all these overrated pop rappers.
Trolls used to be more entertaining back in the day ffs.
Gotta be the dumbest comment in history
You are so dumb! Did you hit your head when you were little or are you still Just little? Smallville little beach…:)
Old people’s top 10 usually be like this: Slick Rick, Rakim, Chuck D, KRS-One, Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap, Ice Cube, Andre 3000, Nas, Black Thought… Nerds top 10 usually be like this: Ghostface Killah, Big L, Kanye West, Redman, Eminem, Big Pun, Slug, 2Pac, The Notorious B.I.G., Jay-Z, dope rappers that never make those lists are: Scarface, Treach, E-40, Sticky Fingaz, Masta Ace, Sean Price, Bun B, Del The Funky Homosapien, Cam’Ron, Inspectah Deck, it is what it is
I’m an old nerd and I’ve never put Andre or Jay on my list.
Well now you know to correct that.
He started out his list of dope rappers with Treach. Hahahahahahaha. Please. Never. Comment. Again.
You dis while your family says Treach’s best thing since fucking.
Nobody knew who Snoop was until he was on that gnarly posse cut on The Marshall Mathers LP
Lol nobody knew who Em was when Snoop was out there releasing classics and iconic verses. F*ck you talking about?
Damn this nigga snoop grasping to even try to stay relevant.
Dude a clown fa real they call you a legend if you make one classic and stay in the limelight dude been a bum on the mic his opinion is irrelevant
He ain’t in my top 10 either not even close
Ill list…..#respect!
good list
Go suck on an exhaust pipe, f@99!+
1. Kanye
2. Andre 3K
3. Timbaland
4. Biggie
5. Eminem
6. Pharrell
7. Dr. Dre
8. Tupac
9. Lil Wayne
10. Kid Cudi
Timbaland isn’t a rapper not is Pharrell or even Kid Cudi for that matter
Can you read????
Decent list, but is Dre on it because of his producing? Cuz nobody in the entire world ever thought Dre was a real Mc, including himself.
Rakim KRS Chuck D Cube Black Thought Big L Big Pun Nas Pac Biggie
Too short & ll cool j made some of the worst hip hop on there last albums! And snoop never mentioned these rappers before. I doubt he even listen to there music. I think he just want attention!
He left PAC out to defend his badly thought out opinion , as he kept sniffing Chalamagne A** hole 4 the most of the interview & Charlsmagne did the same to snoop as soon as he mentioned part of his list.
Just because the ancient men started constructing buildings in stone it doesn’t mean that they were better than what we are building now.
In hip hop, the foundations are solid but the the buildings appearance has changed drastically.
When it comes to shaping hip hop, 3 names come first to mind, PAC, Jay, Em…….
PREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACH!
of course snoop doggs top ten is all gangster rappers because when i think of top ten list i dont even know who half these motherfuckers are. i personally enjoy listening to conscious rappers hopsin,
Conscious Rappers, Hopsin? Lol f*g. No wonder no one takes you serious in life.
Rakim is for real one of the best MC’s to touch a mic, don’t just dismiss him as a “gangsta rapper” , and when the fuck did my boy LL Cool J release a gangsta track? Is this some new shit, like he’s on the block serving fiends now? Lol
Just say you’re young and don’t know the artists music from snoop douchebags list. And yes, snoop and many other rappers are racist.
shut up snitch dogg. such a rasist trash
Hope you’re enjoying the Dck.
Just saw the older vid with snoop addressing Kanye, saying “you just mad at Drake cuz he fucked yo bitch”… Whether its true or not is for those 3 people to know, either way it showed how trash a person snoop is. I remember him yapping his dick sucker at a camera saying Conor McGregor was a “bitch” when Mayweather fucked him up…Thats that REAL bitch shit. 1: Calls a pro-FIGHTER a bitch 2: Talks shit about two of modern raps best artist while being whack himself… Fuck this clown.
Eminem had talent before DRE, but less after
Wow, LL Cool J, Ice Cube and especially Too Short over Slim Shady? Snoop really has lost it.
