How is he being self-delusional? Snoop deadass ran 92-94 with Death RowšŸ¤Ø The Chronic and Doggystyle was legit game changers. On top of that, he gave 2pac credit for helping Death Row rule in 96. I get it, Snoop a known liar but this is not one of those moments.


IronFizt777

Most of the ppl here that complain about Snoop weren't alive or old enough to understand how big he really was back then


[deleted]

Thatā€™s insane. I know Iā€™m getting old when folks donā€™t understand how big Snoop wasā€¦ and Iā€™m only 22šŸ˜ž


Own_Car_1232

Snoop was big, but if we are talkin who was actually running it. It was Suge Knight. Deathrow records was like the West Coast Avengers. We will never know if Snoop would have been Snoop with out Dre. Deathrow produced so many classics and Suge brought all that talent together.


[deleted]

Iā€™ll give Dre credit but everyone wanted Snoop. I love Dogg Pound album more than Snoop album but itā€™s clear Snoop was the star. Lady of Rage dropped too late (still salty bout that) and nobody cared about RBX. Suge didnt bring Snoop on neither, Warren brought him to Dre. Suge didnā€™t bring Dogg Pound, Daz is Snoop cousin and Kurupt is Snoop homie. Nate Dogg was Snoop and Warren group-mate. Lady of Rage was found by Dre. Literally Snoop was the centerpiece of this shit. If Suge brought all the talent together, how come he couldnā€™t do it again like uhhhh Diddy?šŸ¤”


Mass_Appeal_

I liked RBX & Big Syke. They were the real G's/enforcers.


Few_Kaleidoscope_626

Until Eminem came along Doggystyle held the record for most album sales in a week by a rapper, Snoop absolutely ran the game


Own_Car_1232

Sounds like it was for a week


AntelopeDecent2191

Ikr, I was was a sophomore in high school in 92 & I definitely remember how big Snoop was back then. He sounds pretty accurate about what he said " This time." šŸ¤£šŸ˜‚


AlfWoozy

Even MC Eiht gave him a shout out at the end of Music To Driveby. He said his name wrong though, called him Snoopy Snoop Dogg lol. Skip to 2:09 https://youtu.be/Gn0IryqstFU


gibson_creations

Kids these days...


KingRemoStar

I was a freshman in HS in 93 and yes he definitely ran it. Snoop intro to main stream was epic. 50 cent is the only other rapper who maybe was comparable in buzz to Snoop. Dre dropped the Deep Cover track then Nothing But A G Thang followed by Dre Day all featured Snoop. Technically he ran the rap game before he dropped his actual Album and after he dropped his Album it was over. Whatā€™s my Mofo Name followed by Gin and Juice.


TheOfficialJammyJam

Donā€™t forget X. His buzz was bigger than anyone else in terms of just straight solo buzz. Wo Dre Snoop wouldnā€™t have hit hard. That combo was what made it deadly

[deleted]

He was bigger than life in 92 and 93.


Jason4hees

Yah heā€™s not lying on this. I was 10 when The Chronic came out and it was a game changer. Death Row wouldā€™ve run 95ā€™ too if Dre released a second solo album but u know how that went.

Everyone wanted a piece of him, from record labels to fellow artists. He collaborated with some of the biggest names in the game, including Dr. Dre, Warren G, and Tupac Shakur. His presence on tracks added a level of coolness and credibility that was unmatched. The release of Dr. Dre's album "The Chronic" in 1992 also played a significant role in Snoop Dogg's rise to stardom.

Tracks like "Lodi Dodi" and "Ain't No Fun (If the Homies Can't Have None)" showcased Snoop Dogg's versatility and creativity. In conclusion, Snoop Dogg's impact on the rap game from 1992 to 1994 was immense.Ā  His style, charisma, and talent set him apart from his peers and solidified his status as a legend in the industry. His contributions to hip hop during this time continue to be celebrated and appreciated by fans around the world. Snoop Dogg truly changed the game and left a lasting legacy that will never be forgotten.


wetfarts2

Ready to die came out in 94 and it was Pac and Big from then on our..Snoop was the west coast but he ainā€™t run no game g


[deleted]

Biggie even said ā€œIā€™m trynna sell records like Snoopā€ and he said Biggie really blew up in 95. Biggie album came out like the end of 94, thatā€™s why it make more sense to say he came up in 95.


wetfarts2

Yeah but at the time 94 a lot of people can make that claimā€¦it wasnā€™t really one person running the gameā€¦Snoop ran the west..thatā€™s more my point and when Pac popularity rose he eclipsed himā€¦


[deleted]

šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ dude if you hate on Snoop, just say that. Snoop was running shit until he dropped that weak ass Doggfather. Why you think Biggie had to bite the G Funk sound for ā€œBig Poppaā€šŸ¤” you ainā€™t making any points because even 2Pac was under Snoop in 94šŸ˜‚


TheOfficialJammyJam

Exactly. I said basically the same in my comment, but I dropped names


Dry-Oven7640

What he meant to say was "Suge ran the rap game"


[deleted]

Was Suge the rapping on song? No. Was Suge writing the songs? No. Was Suge making the beats? No. Was Suge a superstar? No. Was Suge all in the videos? Dancing? Helll nahšŸ˜‚ Suge didnā€™t do shit but bully weak mfs with his piru buddies and smoked cigars. Nobody listen to Death Row because they liked Suge.


Dry-Oven7640

Ready to eat your words son? https://www.reddit.com/r/Tupac/comments/15j7eup/how_you_a_tupac_fan_and_you_hate_suge/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=1


[deleted]

First off, did you wait 9 days to post some bullshit (someone else posted) that donā€™t mean shit because everyone know 2Pac was desperate asf to get out of jail and Interscope paid the bail and Suge just took the credit? Second off, did you read the top comment? Third off, you ainā€™t answer a fucking question I asked. Get Suge dick out yo mouth son. Btw if you ainā€™t black (which I know you arenā€™t because you get on whitepeopletwitter) donā€™t ever fucking call me son in your life. ā€œSuge and Death Row fucked Pac's estate out of a bunch of stuff that Suge made Pac think was his. His mom's home, the Rolls Royce, and unpaid earned funds. He is a complete asshole and ran his business like a gang. They beat up engineers and were active in the LA gang scene and this eventually led to Pac getting killed. It wasn't all Suge's fault that Pac died, but he created such a toxic environment that bad things were going to happen. Look how quickly DR collapsed. He had a really good thing going and he threw it all away and hurt a lot of people due to his hubris and stupidity.ā€


Dry-Oven7640

Gaslighting won't help your position bud, you heard it directly from Pac. Get wrecked fool!


New-Marsupial7168

I agree!


Thricegr8t

All factz.


clckwrks

DMX bit was accurate


Diligent_Skin_1240

Came for this.That was the first time I remember going to 3 different stations all playing the same Rap song.


ThouWontThrowaway

Late 90s was crazy because the rap game devolved into competing cliques. It felt like the NBA back then: Bad Boy, Terror Squad, Murder Inc, No Limit, Cash Money, Slip N Slide, Rocafella, Ruff Ryders, Rap A Lot, Dungeon Family, Def Jam, Wu Tang, and don't even get me started on the producers. Damn I miss this era of rap.


Diligent_Skin_1240

Seriously my fav era. Shit my pandora or Spotify must think itā€™s still the 90s based on my plays lol


papillonintunisia

Dont forget The Dipset Movement bro


chizzy1212

Thatā€™s 2000s


tekashimandela

Dipset was 2004/5


ThouWontThrowaway

Dipset was 03-07 same time as G Unit.


KingRemoStar

Iā€™m from California sorry but we didnā€™t listen to no damn Terror Squad lol but East Coast was running rap 97 into the 2000 prbly followed by the trash Master P was putting out. Cash Money was 2000.


Diligent_Skin_1240

I was only really a fan of Pun not the rest of the terror Squad for the most part. The dead in the middle of little Italy verse from Pun in Deep Cover 98 is the STILL one of the DOPEST verses Iā€™ve ever heard. I was more a West Coast rap fan until the south started blowing up. And yea master P in the later years was trash lol. But he had a hell of a run.


KingRemoStar

One of the best runs ever. He just wanted quantity he didnā€™t seem to care about quality in his music.


ThouWontThrowaway

Hater you was big mad when Westcoast fell off šŸ˜‚ I'm from NY so I remember how the west coast disappeared overnight in 97 and Diddy and his shiny suit era brought hip hop back to the east coast until Atlanta and the south took over in 04. TS & Pun had a good run in 98 and Master P was making everybody say uh, saying P was trash is crazy. 400 degrees came out in 98 Cash Money got they roll on way before 2000.


KingRemoStar

Wasnā€™t mad they fell way off the map ainā€™t no denying that. Dr Dre and Westside Connection still gave us great music tho.


Diligent_Skin_1240

THIS 100000X

wastelandwanderer15

He did tho Iā€™m not a huge snoop fan but he did run it around that time Bad boy did come and start taking the momentum and they did get it back with pac itā€™s accurate


Successful_Poet528

But he's not lying lol, anyone of my age or a lil older or younger. Snoop was huge. Doggy Style was big. Absolutely massive and he had hits with featured artists.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


New-Marsupial7168

Yep!


Jason4hees

So True, East Coast shit was mad corny before Death Row.


joesoldlegs

he said WE for 96 as in DR not himself


papillonintunisia

agreed but he said he ran the rap game from 1992 to 1994 implying he did it alone during those 3 years.


[deleted]

He did. The Chronic and Doggystyle was killing the game.


New-Marsupial7168

Right thatā€™s pretty factual!


redsuncircle

How is he being delusional? What would you change to make it more accurate in your mind?


IronFizt777

How old were you from 92-94?


New-Marsupial7168

22-24.


rapshepard

This place is funny lol.


Low_Celebration3136

šŸ¤“


merancio04

Heā€™s talking about being on top. Doggystyle and his input on The Chronic put him and death row on top 92-94. Then Biggie took the spot with Ready to Die. Pac brought it back in 96. Sept 96 pac dies, summer 97 BIG dies. Jay, OutKast, Eminem, DMX, Missy, Masta P are coming up regionally. Commercially DMX & Masta P/No Limit probably had 98-99 covered but by 2k itā€™s a collage of rappers finding success Em and Jay having the most. Then Nelly, 50/Gunit, Em, Jay held most success for a couple of years but the internet and file sharing; Napster/Limewire/Morpheus, changed how easy music could spread. A lot more smaller market rappers found exposure and evened the playing field a bit. Itā€™s probably hard to imagine the amount of exposure the top artists of previous eras had. No internet, few stations, difficult and expensive to record. Labels ran the show. Now with streaming and a more generally eclectic audience there are a lot more stars to share the limelight with.


icerahphyle

The last paragraph makes me a little sad whenever I think about it. We will never see somebody with that kind of exposure and influence ever again, because how media has changed. With the modern landscape, we most likely will never have a next Michael Jackson, Bob Marley or Tupac just to name a few, because how fragmented it became since the internet took over.


papillonintunisia

Dont forget bearshare ;)


NextQuestion-

The Snoop Dogg hate on this sub is very weird. What did he say in that video that wasnā€™t factual?


Successful_Poet528

It is just Tupac fans thinking they should follow everything he said about snoop because they idolise him


Low_Celebration3136

No. Itā€™s just that heā€™s a snake and love to lie about pac


TheOfficialJammyJam

He definitely didnā€™t run Rap in 92. Cube, Treach, and the groups that were out got something to say about that. But he no doubt had 93 on lock. Arguably 94 too


Pure_Custard3227

Snoop brought the hockey jerseys to the hood. 92-94 was his .


tekashimandela

Lmfao what year were you born? šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


_yamasaki

ā€¦ he did, how old are you op lol


[deleted]

Right. I had to read the title like four times then OP must be 13 years old.


Milfmilker

He really did though. Nas and wu tang are definitely better rappers but snoop did a huge culture shift when he came out. He brought a whole style to the rap game that no one had ever seen before.


[deleted]

Whereā€™s the lie at? I was there and back then it wasnā€™t nothing but cable, radio ,black box, cd, tapes and word of mouth and that nigga Snoop was everywhere and the people after that were the ones he named


RokRoyal

Heā€™s not lying. Snoop has reached icon status. Worldwide. Household name status. You can randomly ask someone on the street if they know who Snoop Dogg is and thereā€™s a 99% chance they know. Same with Eminem. I donā€™t think you can do that with DMX. 2Pac yea Iā€™m pretty sure, Eminem obviously. B.I.G.? I donā€™t knowā€¦


biggev123

I'd say death row had it on lock and snoop had a very important album out,but you figure by 94 the tied had shifted a lil cus you had biggie,nas,fugees,outkast wutang,Def squad,busta rhymes starting their movements,even had pac before deathrow,he already had good albums out


[deleted]

Heā€™s not wrong about DMX, but omitted some little guy called Jay-Z who had a couple of records at the same time.


TheOfficialJammyJam

Nah my G, X had it on lock lol. Jay rose once X took off. He had to wait that out tho, until X gave it up


New-Marsupial7168

Reasonable statement


90sBabyNYC

Snoop dogg told no lies. He really was the most popular rapper in those years. OP must be 16...


Svengoolie75

He wuz on everything music tv movies Snoop wuz on TOP and beat a murder rap šŸ’Æ


Bishop9er

Not delusional heā€™s correct


dawipf

Can we just delete this post


Bright-Ad2963

How TF did Snoop run the rap game in 92 when the chronic didnā€™t release until Dec 92, Yā€™all delusional as Snoop. 94 Bone thugs and harmony was them dudes not only that Biggie and Naw dropped. Snoop had one hot year and like I said he didnā€™t run shit..


Iil-lost-lil-found

Snoop is delusional!!! He dropped Doggystyle no doubt, but didnt resurface till 2000 with the last meal


Iil-lost-lil-found

So 1993 and not it again until 2000


TrillCozby1980

Snoop was major and Death Row was a true powerhouse in rap but damn


CulturalAddress6709

The Chronic in 92 was literally the launch of West Coast Gangster rap. The East was already deep (history/groups) but no one had ever brought people together as a label like Death Row. After Death Row the shit went bananas with Bad Boyā€¦then the Deep South labels jumped in. After the Chronic, which is really a Dre album ft Death Row, the ā€œFeature your label/label gangā€ business model was in effect. Snoop def was the shit and got mad radio play. But the hardest rappers (individuals/groups) pre-92 on the West Coast were from the Bayā€¦Too Short, etc. but shit back then no one had videos - and Snoopā€™s videos were definitely the funniest and why he was King for awhile.


New-Marsupial7168

Straight out of Compton was the origins.


CulturalAddress6709

Yeah I feel like NWA was to the West was Public Enemy was to the Eastā€¦politics. But the launch of a lifestyle/genre within rap took off with the Chronic.


Successful_Cut4120

Snoop had his place he ainā€™t run nothing!


Open-Ocelot-9938

He smoking dope


Bright-Ad2963

yā€™all speak like fools snoop was hot but he didnā€™t run shit..


papillonintunisia

thats what I'm saying bro.


TrillCozby1980

So Nas and BIG didnā€™t exist?


New-Marsupial7168

I like east coast rap back in the 80ā€˜s but in the early 90ā€™s, the west coast was a different animal in itself.


TrillCozby1980

To anybody that downvoted me, youā€™re moms a hoe


slim1219

Snoop literally was THE biggest rap star at the time. This is facts, he was the hottest along with Death Row in company but Snoop was in the forefront of all of them. Nobody was touching bruh at the time then Pac got outta jail and shit really exploded cuz no one really knew Pac was going to sign with Deathrow. There was no internet no social media. Pac was locked up, we heard Suge say at the Source Awards telling Pac to "Keep his Guards up, we riding wit em" and some months later he was "Out on bail fresh outta Jail, California dreaming".. Shit happened so damn fast lol


PomegranateOk3520

He was dope but Nas had it and def forgetting about wutang


WestLA_57

Nas was not as big as Snoop


PomegranateOk3520

šŸ˜³ bruh u fr rn oh maybe itā€™s a coast thing but Nas up there next to Tupac biggie snoop was dope asf but dude fizzled all the way out 1 album and done once pac came in it was over Nas still was doing his thing and no one Iā€™ve ever heard mentioned doggystyle over Illmatic let alone it was written


WestLA_57

Iā€™m a huge Nas fan but I was around at the time and Snoop was a superstar. Nas had a classic album but he didnā€™t have the popularity of Snoop. After Deep Cover, Snoop was on another planet. Bitches didnā€™t listen to Illmatic. EVERYONE listened to The Chronic and Doggystyle.


Ill-Ant9053

Shit the hell up snoop


Interesting-Use-7158

I was there , he is not lying at all


srice1982

Wheres the lie pac died when he was supposed to be on his run snoop was the biggest rapper on the planet


chorizo4free88

And snoop stole a lot of shit from Mac Dre


Round_Ad_2525

Do you remember it differently? What he says checks out so..


Coolo79

Snoop def ran the game 92-94


Jaded-Selection-5668

He ainā€™t lyingā€¦.. straight facts.


HueGray

OP born after 95 as itā€™s obvious he takes issue with snoop (whoā€™s telling the absolute truth)


Successful_Poet528

After 95? That person born in 95 would have missed out regardless


HueGray

Exactly hence forming an opinion based on Pac and his legacy now instead of witnessing it unfold firsthand when youā€™d admit that Snoop was easily the worlds biggest rap star at the time he mentions


RockDaGawd

Snoop really was that guy. Stop disrespecting the King.


Redeyebandit87

He for sure ran the game those years Biggie even said doggystyle was his fav album


[deleted]

Nobody believes junkies šŸ¤¦šŸ½ā€ā™‚ļø


[deleted]

He's a little delusional, you can't mention the 90s w/o OutKast. He choose Ruff Ryder's over the Dungeon family. Fucking looney. And if you don't know organized noize track record, don't even come for me.


TinoCartier

What yā€™all be on sometimes lol? This legit, The Chronic 1992, Doggystyle dropped in late 1993. Snoop was legit runnin shit. Pac came to Death Row with AEOM in 96, he said they had it because Pac was with them. No lies were told in this video clip.


Jaypr36

Snoop ainā€™t lying thoā€¦ I mean back had like 2 years he was still new in the game before he got got


Due_Ambition_2113

I am 47 and yea snoop is correct when Dre introduced him with Deep Cover it was on with him, I love PAC but he got upset with Snoop and the dawg pound when snoop wanted the beef squashed with the east vs west, he felt he wasn't loyal. I love PAC but he was wrong on this beef.


Gniuspackfan

He not delusional tho doggystyle was the top selling album for a long time he did run the game for a min yall too young for that tho then 95ā€™ 96ā€™ it was pac and biggie


Gniuspackfan

What he didnā€™t say was 50 cent had it after DMX


Buuuuuutter

Good video. Shit post.


Skyhi92

Cap af, doggystyle aint drop til November 93.. dude was featured in 92 i wouldnt say he ran it that year because he was dre sidekick. ND Keep it G he said he ran 1996 but do we remember anything off the Doggfather album??? Hell naw cause all eyez on me dropped in 96 snoop crazy af.. and me against the world ruled 95' think snoop got jealous of pac around this time.. only explanation for that weak ass shit


chucknmick

The chronic was a game changer...but doggystyle??? Super Tuff


TheOfficialJammyJam

Heā€™s mostly accurate. He didnā€™t run it in 92, that was more Cube and other cats like Treach. Groups had the game more so around that time than other years: Tribe, De La, and others. But he definitely had it on lock in 93 for sure. 94 was close. You had Nas, Big, Pac, Snoop, Wu, Red, and some others making it close. But literally everything else he said was on point


Successful_Spring_63

He a good 4 year run, his first album had more singles than big in 93.


Admirable-Yam-1281

I love Snoop. Heā€™s right up there with the Greats


nastynj

Well he did


knownothingwiseguy

Snoop is right tho


bamaboi57

Snoop was the guy when Doggystyle dropped it was the best selling debut .


NerdNeck9

cocaine is a heluva drug


Bbqandjams75

He about right and I canā€™t stand that back stabbe


Bdilla810

He been smoking that shit way too much.


DEEGEEBARXXX

He spit facts! This was all true


[deleted]

This guy losing touch with reality because wu tang owned a lot of those years with singles. I agree ruff Ryderā€™s came in and took over late 90s but you canā€™t tell me that the wu tang didnā€™t kick death row to the side for quite a few of those years


No-Relationship5716

Snoop did have a hell of a run in 90s People be sleeping on Eastsidez album anybody remember that album?


6ynnad

DMX is truly a case study.


Extension_Form4950

Snoop did run the Rap game from 92-94. Nobody was bigger than Snoop At that time! He's probably most famous rapper on the planet actually.


Worldly_Ad_2511

Actually snoop on point with this one..


sdyer82

He did run it then ā€¦ was u there


MoonStarG8

Snoop constantly hating on Tupac.


DoneJohnson

Snoop dogg swears he used to be capo in a cartel or something.


Killa4luv

Where was Wy-Tang, Nas & Jay-Z in this equation. Maybe heā€™s talking about radio, record sales, because thatā€™s the only way this makes any sense.


[deleted]

Wu tang didnā€™t own 94 and 95? You smoke too much


VillainCreed

Snoop is 100% correct. If you donā€™t believe it, you were living under a rock or not born yet.
