SNOOP DOGG THE GREATEST MC OF ALL TIME?
Snoop Dogg reclines comfortable with a roll of home reefers, methodically analyses an array of new street hip hop tunes, from the auto tune domination to the club banger anthems, this is a new trend he has subconsciously or consciously contributed immensely to.
Now the big question, after over 15 years of tyrannically holding the monopoly of rap dominance, like a cat with 9 lives, only probably with a tech nine' hidden in his holster.
He has witnessed the, enigmatic dominance of bone-thugs n harmony in the 95-98 era, the party fuelled gyration of the bad boy family in the 97-98 era, the years of the Dog, with DMX, looking seemingly unstoppable 1998-2000.
These glory years came and passed, but one remaining constant in the whole picture was Snoop Dogg, they've all come and gone, but Snoop is still here. Controversially retaining a top 5 spot in MTV's hottest MC list 2008 and 2009 respectively, earning awards and award nominations, all through the way, losing some, questionably though.
Even his seemingly worst album performance ever, with Gold status, happens to be one his most triumphant albums, dropping at a time the world economy was at its worst, even Freddie Mac crashed, Snoop still danced, alongside the hottest of today's artist, even the highly in form Lil wayne, T.I, Rick Ross, Jay Z, Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco and 50 Cent some went platinum, some struggled to go platinum, and some didn't, despite, having just their first seminal albums.
Rap pundits wonder how Ego trippin could actually sell, questioning its creative inclination, but it did go gold and went 3x platinum on the hottest Bootleg Sites.
Some Say, Snoop is a lyrical Chameleon, with the most resilient adaptive traits wired in its DNA, I might want to disagree with this, but the most acclaimed talented lyricists have either gone down below or basically gone bust, the likes of Cannibus, Freeway, Talib kweli, Mos Def, Kurrupt, the list is endless, with all these names in retrospect you are forced to give it a thought.
The acclaimed greatest of all times, Tupac Shakur, Christopher Wallace, Rakim, where not actually time tested, with the first two dying shamefully during their dominance, and death granting them the priceless legendary status they now enjoy.
What if DMX got shot in controversial circumstances during the nerve chilling dominance he had in the Years of the Dogg (1998-2000), Maybe he'll be acclaimed the greatest today, but only time exposed his lack of staying power and versatility.
But Snoop is still here, in our face from sitcoms to ESPN, more popular than ever. No doubt he is a living legend; with over 50 million records sold, record breaking shows, movies and a music catalogue to die for.
Can he be the Greatest MC of all Time?

Micheal Jackson was murdered
The Greatest Entertainer was murdered for the Sony/ATV catalogue he owns. His doctor was paid an unspecified amount of money to inject him with a fatal overdose of demerol. His death would not only prevent a comeback estimated to fetch him an estimate of over $500million dollars after a world tour, Independent album, Games and Movie, but also erase his debt running into over $300million. His own share of the Sony/ATV catalogue is estimated to be worth almost a $1billion.
Michael staging a comeback means he would retain his share of the Sony/ATV catalogue, open a flood stream of income and a legacy that'll multiply his already unsurpassable greatness, restoring his image hence, which in 10 years might make him one of the richest entertainers ever.
Killing Michael Jackson means, his creditors would force a sale on his assets, particularly his 50% share of the Sony/ATV catalogue, which is going to be sold at 100% less than its actual value, a machination has been put in place that would enable his murderers, make this dubious purchase at an estimated $200-300million, about $700million less than its actual value.
With his creditors reclaiming their debt from the dubious sales, means his Estate's worth would be reduced greatly, posing a threat to the future of his dependants.
There is a long list of people embittered over his acquisition of the Beatles catalogue and some rather questionable decisions he made over the course of his career, a list of faceless ogres that have been behind damaging allegations and negativity that daunted him over the last decade till his death.
Some might suggest a Jewish conspiracy, Sony's former and present Executives, disgruntled former associates and friends, or just another shrewd but immensely powerful Investment clique with a vested interest in the highly lucrative Sony/ATV Catalogue, some with alleged ties to the Mafia and some whom Michael Jackson has publicly derided for their underhanded tactics in seeing to his ruin.
Whatever might be the motive for his murder, he still remains the Greatest Entertainer ever. The world might never again witness an Artist of this much accomplishment and Legend.
