In 2006, Nas claimed Hip-Hop was dead. Two years later, Lil Wayne made a bold statement, via his Dr. Carter song, “he saved Hip-Hop’s life.” They’re both wrong. Hip-Hop is alive and kicking. But Gangsta rap died a long time ago.
Snoop Dogg recognizes Tupac as the greatest rapper in history. When Tupac was living, he represented “thug life” every chance. The slain rapper developed a strong connection with Snoop Dogg. Sit back and listen to 2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted.
T.I. has stated that Notorious B.I.G. is a better rapper lyrically than Tupac. Check out Notorious for an inspirational movie detailing his lifestyle. T.I. took over where Biggie left it.

Snoop Dogg and T.I. are the last of a dying breed. They lived “thug life” by experiencing hardships and adversities before fame. They came of age during a different time, when gang affiliation was necessary.
Sensual Seduction and Big Things Poppin’ (Do It) are my favorite Snoop and T.I. songs. Snoop Dogg isn’t scared to switch up his style. I’ve never heard a more motivational rap song than Do It. If Nike shoes adopted T.I.’s anthem, the company could sale a million additional units.
Additionally, rounding out T.I.’s greatest hits are: Whatever You Like, I’m a King, Bring Em Out, Go Get It and What You Know. Moreover, my other Snoop Dogg favorites consist of: Drop It Like It’s Hot, Next Episode, Lodi Dodi and Gin and Juice. Great rappers consistently create dynamic and distinct sounds.
Will Snoop and T.I. ever collaborate?
Apparently, Doggy Dogg and T.I.P. abide by the Refrigeration Niche. This means they’re cool like fish sticks, lobsters, and Barack Obama. Before Snoop Dogg and T.I. built durable brands on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, they built reputations, notoriety, and street credibility via word of mouth.
