Eminem vs Snoop Dogg

Who is Dr.Dre's best protege?

Snoop D-O-Double G

snoop for sure, have you heard snoops albums without dre on them?

Snoop was the soundtrack to my high school life, but Enimen has always been more creative. Not to mention entertaining.

Hmmm...

Tis a tricky question.

They're kinda equal, in lots of ways.

Both came out under Dr. Dre as ferocious young rappers who changed the game. Edge: Snoop

Both had huge commercial success. Edge: tie

Both have successfully branched out to be movie stars, and have clothing lines. Edge: Eminem

Both own their own record label and spawned mediocre crews (DPG and D-12, I don't count 50 cent or g-unit since it's like its own seperate thing)
Edge: Snoop

Both have put out newer albums that are commercialized and don't live up to earlier greatness. Edge: Tie.

As far as MC's ... Edge: Eminem.

It's tough to call in overall impact who became Dr. Dre's best protege, especially since niether is done recording yet, and they could still (hopefully) dig down deep for one last great album produced by Dre.

I think the greatest thing is Dre's record for launching/ bolstering rappers in the game:

NWA
Ice Cube
Snoop
2Pac- didn't need his help, but Dre made some of his dopest tracks
Eminem
50 Cent
The Game (who now may go to shit by his 3rd album without having Dre behind him)

Plus, his own albums are dope classics.

Can't wait for Detox, and just hope that these two proteges em and snoop give one or two hot guest appearances and shut up to let the good Doc speak on some game-changing new beats.

I really can't decide on which one, but I'm voting for Slim just because I think he has the better chance to turn it around in his career.

I'm all about Snoop, but Em is more entertaining, to me. He talks about more things as well, but Snoop is the GodFather... Im still gonna go for Eminem.

Considering The Slim Shady LP is, in my opinion, better than most hip hop albums, I'd say Eminem is better than Snoop.

Snoop is the U2 of hip hop. I can respect what he's done, I like one of his albums, but beyond that it's all rep to me.

Depends.

The question was who is Dr Dre's best protoge, not which of Dr Dre's protoge is the best rapper.

Although primarily what they do is rap, I took the question in a more general way, considering: impact at time of release, influence on the rap game, crossover success to movies, record label ownership/clothing line ownership, career history of records, and lastly, rap skill.

And not to sound stupid, but I voted for Slim.

with the east side hoez on my mutha****in dick and the compton niggaz all about the set trip

snoop is a cool mutha****a. too bad he sold his ****ing soul on that john legend track. eminem is a legend in his own right, but snoop is a mother****in G-funk prophet.

funny how you say he sold his sold on a soul track!! Very ironic! I personally loved that track! And believed him on it... 🙁 I'm a moron. Anyway, Snoop is super cool, and I prefer early Snoop to early Em. Right now, I actually prefer Snoop. He's more of a figure in music, not just rap.

You can't seriously expect me to pass up on this opportunity of spite!!

why!!! 😛

Yea, that's all good Phat

Doggie Style is one of the best albums of all time, IMO. I can't really say that for any of Em's cds.
