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.
In today's paper, I wrote a (hopefully) funny and light-hearted comparison between Snoop and Jay-Z. Read it here. Of course, it looks much better in print, where it's actually a chart. But you can still kinda figure out what's going on if you read it online.

I've been The Baltimore Sun's nightlife and local entertainment reporter for a couple years, and it's surprising how much the scene has grown in that time. Most of Baltimore's bars and clubs are unpretentious places with fairly cheap drinks and plenty of character. I like dancing and think this city needs more clubs, but nothing beats having a cold, locally brewed beer with friends in a comfortably full corner bar.
Comments
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".

It was delightful to know Baltimore was a Hip HOp meka for 1 day. Both are part of a music that once was not considered a true art form. Embrassed by not just backyard streets. I attended the Snoop show because I have attended Jay-z last appereance here with Mary J. blige. A good night $ HIPHOP an me
