That night will never be forgotten in Hip Hop history.
Not one of those individual performances was anything short of great.
Although Quik's was probably the most memorable, I still gotta go with Snoop, he had charisma that even James Bond would envy.
Death Row and that beef wasted Snoop Dogg's potential in my opinion. I think he's the biggest waste of potential in hip hop history, and he's still a legend, which just goes to show. That East-West thing turned a lot of people off Snoop down here in the East, whereas Tupac's voice was too loud not to shatter that. That limited Snoop, and then after it all went down he went to No Limit, and that almost destroyed him as an MC, where they instilled some shocking characteristics in his MC game.
People say Snoop was never lyrical, he never had message, he was just this or that. Bullshit. Listen to early Snoop Dogg, and then come say that. He was forced to go down the wrong path.
He should have been standing next to Em, Nas, Jay etc. right now, rather than a level below.
The New York Times - "Lloyd Banks may have stealthily become the most important rapper in New York".
