Recent Snoop’s remark about Eminem not being in his top 10 caused a lot of commotion in the hip hop community. However, Snoop Dogg is not the one to cave under pressure.
He reiterated his point by posting the list of MCs he admires on Instagram:
Slick Rick
Ice Cube
LL Cool J
K.R.S.1
Rakim
Run from RunDMC
D from DMC
Big Daddy Kane
Ice T
Too short
Snoop emphasised that there are no his peers on this list, they all are giants that hold modern hip hop on their shoulders:
A lot niggaz been cryin about me leaving people off my top 10 without. Even seeing my shit so here it is F. Y. I. Notice how none of my peers or m. Cs 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 top10s I’m not even on this one ☝🏾 🤔🤣🤣👊🏿👍🏿👍🏿😴💨💨💨💨. 🎤 drop
