Snoop Dogg – 147
The thing with Snoop Dogg is that most people actually tend to underestimate his intelligence. Sure, they know he’s a force to be reckoned with in music, but they don’t know how truly gifted he is. First off, did you know he began rapping at the young age of six? Since breaking into the industry, Snoop has given us many classics, including Gin and Juice, Young, Wild & Free, Drop It Like Its Hot, Who am I (What‘s My Name?).
Being musically inclined doesn’t have much to do with IQ, but navigating the business certainly does. With his IQ of 147, it’s not too surprising how he has managed to do so with ease. He has lasted decades in the “game” and continues to be an icon even among the new generation of rappers. He is also often given credit for the influence he has had on hip hop as a whole.
