    That's probably true. But I have a feeling it is gradually getting the other way around with Em.

    Eminem is known everywhere. I've never met somebody who doesn't know at least one song.

    Absolutely, I'm not denying Snoop is a well known individual... Just, there's levels to this s---? Eminem is Michael Jackson famous... Snoop is closer to Janet Jackson lol...

    As much as I couldn't care about snoop, he is definitely a waaay bigger icon than Eminem. That' doesn't mean he is more relevant or a better rapper. He is up there with Tupac, biggie, Eazy E as the poster faces for hiphop. People may not have heard a single song but can recognize him.
    Eminem is definitely the most popular rapper tho.

    Nah he's respected elsewhere but agree lots of people just know him as a pothead

    But then again is that worse than being known as the dude that had a huge song with rihanna?

    Outside of the us, Em is as close to mj household name as it gets. Obviously he isnt there but ppl use his name to describe rap. He is coke to describe soda. Cant exaggerate just how famous he is

    Your great aunt is one in a million. Snoop Dogg is never more famous. After Eminem came into the game in 99, he has been the most famous rapper ever and that didn't really change at all.

    Doggystyle was great, but I have to go with the Eminem show. I liked every track on it.

    Can’t be a bigger icon when you only known for one good album that came out almost 30 years ago.

    Eminem sells out arenas. I remember 10 years ago snoop was performing for jwu college in providence. My wife worked for the university and I got to see The show. But it was very average and like 100 kids there. There is no comparison.
