The Greatest Rappers Alive Vol 3.

SNOOP  D.O. Double G! Yeah! That's the man, i cant go on talking about great rappers without mentioning this charismatic black man who came into the game with a unique style that is still unrivaled, even with the amount of rappers that has emerged in the game trying to shadow his rhyming  technique, Snoop's soft and laid back style of rapping has continued to bless the hearts of hip hop lovers around the world. With a Solid twenty three years in the music business, eleven studio albums, seventeen compilation albums, twenty mix-tapes, one EP album, forty eight various awards and sixteen Grammy nominations! Uncle Snoop is one of the rap artist i personally suspect is intentionally boycotted by the "insiders" of the Grammy's, Over the years i have seen Grammy awards meant for Snoop Dogg given to musicians that cannot match Snoop's creativity nor compete with the overwhelming  respect and adoration he gets from fans, this brings me to the conclusion that the association responsible for selecting the awards  the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS) does not understand rap music and its basics, my guess is that they are a bunch of  "Old School" folks who still cant get the real "vibes" of hip hop, and i would frankly suggest future Grammy award nominations should be conducted on the bases of public opinion rating and not secret ballot system. I would throw more light on my opinions about the Grammy awards in subsequent publications for now let me get back to Big Snoop Dogg or Snoop Lion.*Roars*

After a successful entry into the music industry in 1992 collaborating with Dr Dre on The Chronic Album, Snoop catapulted into super stardom when he released his first solo debut Doggystyle in 1993, selling 802,858 copies the week it was released and over five million copies as at 2012, this album is considered to be one of the most important hip hop masterpiece in history and definitely the most remarkable album of the 90s staying as the fastest selling artist/album for seven years until the release of Eminem's "The Marshall Mathers LP" in 2000.The success of this album influenced rap music in a very tremendous way and it is Snoop's highest selling album ever.

All through the years gone by, Snoop Dogg  has remained relevant in the hip hop scene and also been among the favorite artist featured by many other musicians, what can i say? Everybody loves Snoop!
