Im with you on Jeff Lynne and ELO...One of my favorites, too... And Teddy Riley should have already been in by now.. Snoop Dogg is an A-list celebrity/entertainer, but a Hall Of Fame "SONGWRITER"??...i dont hear/see it...HE didnt even write or perform alot of the hooks on his songs...and his lyrics and verses were very basic and somewhat limited | |

Im not "putting down Snoop"... hes just not a hall of fame songwriter...give me an example of some of his exemplary songwriting...Dr. Dre's productions carried his hits...Snoop is/was no great songwriter or producer...to see his name mentioned in the same breath as Jeff Lynne is a joke | |

So, Snoop Dogg is in the songwriter's Hall Of Fame, but Prince isnt?..how stupid is that shit?...i guess glorifying drugs, gang-banging, pimping, and alcoholic beverages, and being a negative role model for young black men & women, will endear you forever to the powers that be, in the recording industry...but some of us already knew that. | |

Hiphop artists/acts more deserving than Snoop Dogg WuTang Clan Nas Chuck D/Public Enemy Tupac Ice Cube LL Cool J Notorious B.I.G. Andre 3000/Outkast Eminem Etc Etc Etc Shit, i'd induct the legendary Tony M. before Snoop Dogg ![]() Most people cant even name more than 2 or 3 legitimate hit records by Snoop, without the assistance of internet searches or streaming service discographies...what a joke. | |

That first Snoop Dogg album lasted. It still gets the crowd going. The rest were like fad hits of their eras, you make a point about everything outside of 1993. | |

Esham was definitely slept on...but he really didnt get much national airplay or exposure...his dark "horrorcore" lyrics kept him relegated to underground status...i used to have his "Mail Dominance" and "Closed Casket" albums. | |

Great albums. It's like how the rock&roll hall of fame always inducts some "early influence" that people everyone knows covered or was influenced by, Esham might not have ever made it national but so many people he inspired became mainstream or known basically taking his hardcore lyrics and making them more pop accessible.
