Can an album be too well produced?
After this 'Missionary' Album, Dre is the UNDISPUTED GOAT!
- Thread starter Aje
- Start date
It feels like some smokey nightclub lounge shyt
Like a Bond soundtrack at times
Lots of familiar samples being flipped but I think that's kinda the theme of the album, her inspirations getting tribute
It's a unique album and there isn't really much like it
2001 was extremely overproduced lol
that gunshot/yelling/ratcheting another round sample in Bang Bang still gives me second hand embarrassment, 25 years later
shyt is GOOFY!!!!
i just know dre was behind the boards cheesing like a mf to that ridiculous ass sample
i dont know who is writing but i like hearing snoop rhyme like this
The Dust King
A Childrens Story
WTF ngga u wasnt lyin im on track 5 like wtfffffff
The Dust King
A Childrens Story
first shyt i thought who tf writin this????
this shyt is lyrical af
im callin it early im on trak 6.
classic album
for me it nose dives at track 7, comes back at 11.
Snoop sounds GREAT rapping on this.
This Axtaully made sense, as it emphasizes the chorus.. There's an actaul functional purposes for those exclamations especially when performing.....this new shyt tho? Just gratuitous sound salad that adds no actaul value to the music
you okay man?? you sound like youre about to join elizabeth over there!!
i do agree with you, i just think the samples in Bang Bang were kind of goofy
man i thought snoop did a fantastic job. he sounds hungry, and hes rapping a lot faster on some of these tracks. the lyrics and performances were excellent, it was the music itself that wasnt up to dres usual standards

Snoop and Dre made an album for the 40 plus crowd. It met my expectations. Thought the production was top notch. Snoop ended the album strong. I actually like the Sting collaboration!
Dre seems happy to make adult contemporary hip hop and test the limits of his creativity. I don’t want to hear Dre trying to chase the ghost of gangsta rap in 2024.
