    On the contrary I think they are widely considered goats, Snoop had a genre-defining debut and for a long time Common was the poster child for critical acclaim "purists". Plus of course they had movie/tv roles that only help build their legendary status in hip hop.

    They did have some inconsistent careers tbh I guess people don't rate their highs as equal to the Kasts, Pacs, Jays and all that. Which is a shame since their catalogs certainly match up to their peers, Be & Doggystyle are as good as it gets.

    They are, they're just probably in many people's top 25 range not people's top 5 range.

    I think they definitely can be considered GOATS, just not to me. I wouldn't cry if anyone claimed they were.

    Depends on what circle I guess, irl I've known people that were huge proponents of them and in many publications they have been hailed...but I feel what you're saying, they are respected but not often put on that bigger pedestal with other greats.
