Snoop vs. Jay-Z
Tonight, two of hip-hop's most iconic stars -- Jay-Z and Snoop Dogg -- will both be in Baltimore. Snoop is playing Rams Head Live and Jay-Z is playing 1st Mariner Arena.
Side note: These are but half of the A-list shows happening as part of Super Music Tuesday.

I think both of them are great in their own way. I remember Snoop when he was Snoop Doggy Dogg back at Death Row. And i remember Vol. 2. Again, you forgot "Hard Knock Life".
