Did Kendrick steal snoop&Dre buzz for their album

[mrvaughn]

Hopefully the album at least follows the same formula as the Eminem albums back in the day…

Singles are poppy stuff. Album cuts the tracks with more substance.

Maybe?

Please?

Dre?

Snoop?

Oh, probably not?

 

[GeeEffKay]

Buzz woulda been the same. The tracks aren’t just hitting like that.

 

[LJLYDK!]

The three singles that dropped for it have all been dogg shyt anyways

 

[C-Styles]

I just want to know what you guys expect from them? This is why Dre never dropped "Detox" cuz of this specific reaction that nothing is ever good enough

Expectation = Some good stuff.

Kush was good. That’s a great example.

Wanna know how you can tell this promotion roll out is failing?


In the music video Dr. Dre is seen taking part in a sideshow

If this was successful marketing department would have been able to drop a faux-controversy PR story about how the imagery of Dr. Dre spinning donuts at a sideshow is irresponsible to show because the youth are acting out trying to replicate, blahblahblah increase in "street takeover" activity

Also, Snoop is an icon ... But to promote him as a Hip-Hop artist their only template for doing so is to present him like he's Mac Dre
As if he'd be on top of the car that's spinning donuts on some Olympic level ghostriding the whip kind of thing


They're 0/3 and that is with the single roll out


Y'all remember when 50 dropped "Straight to the Bank" as a street single but then Vitamin Water deal broke and he came back with the battery in his back for "I Get Money"

If they don't get a Vitamin Water deal for their Still Gin or Dre and Snoop juice (it was discounted after failed Walmart rollout)

Then we got nothing but deep cut album tracks left ... So no big single launch,
G Thang, Dre Day, Still Dre or Next Episode

Kush was a better attempt to recreate Next Episode ... But it was just that, an attempt

Really ... Jimmy Iovine is probably the only one around who realizes that this album isn't going to help sell any rims, Timbs or 40s and such is the nature brand valuation

Dre & Snoop is a bigger brand than Dr. Dre on his own

Somebody in a post earlier said Kush was good. Kush was hot garbage attempting to align the cannabis concept as a friendly-theme for him to be able to replicate Next Episode while not delving into club talk as a 60 year old

Snoop/Dre like 15 years too late and that’s being generous.

I haven’t checked for Dre since “Kush” and “I need a Doctor”.

At least 20-25 years too late and that's being generous

This is a consistent issue with GOATs. Nikkas reach GOAT status, coast on that shyt for decades, then decide at 60 that they wanna get back out in the world

I'm not applying this to Snoop obviously because he's been very active and has released some great albums (Bush) but Dre's hermit shyt has been the real buzz killer

I saw some shyt recently where Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence are reuniting for a project. Again why now and not 20 years ago?

It’s not 2001 anymore. People need to know when to retire. Nobody wanna hear a 60 year old and a 53 year old rapping in 2024.

What should the age of retirement be for rappers?

 

[mbewane]

Just listened to Outta da blue and Another Part. Kinda sounds like something 2010s EDM would remix to make stadium music

 

[Soymuscle Mike]

Man I heard the snippet for that Sting track today...that shyt was rough

Why can't they? Guarantee this song here will have more organic plays. By that I mean plays that aren't associated with the marketing involved in the product cycle

You are highlighting a need for product development... With some research and development behind it

Dre didn't figure out how to cast himself for this role

Maybe they are holding back the best tracks for the album though

 

[⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐]

Also ... All this "nobody wants to hear 50 year olds rap talk"

See if that's the case among Suga Free fans, see if his fans don't highly anticipate his work and feel like he's at the absolute top of his game right now


This is a creative realm, you need to CREATE the right thing. This is not a physical realm. All of the work of the creative realm (mental plane) is then transfixed to the physical realm via replicable mediums (

These are not NFL running backs or professional prize fighters

A perfectly executed track by the artist in the studio does not necessarily or inherently mean that the song is right for the artist's brand

Dr. Dre's brand is typecast in the gangsta rap category

That is where his legacy resides

But guarantee that is not where his soul feels most comfortable he doesn't like that stuff he doesn't look highly upon it he wanted to get out of it in 1995 with "been there done that" ... But guess what, that was a failed product rollout

We saw that again when Jay Z dropped Kingdom Come and dubbed it as grown man ra
Same product premise, more successful rollout at the time


Dr. Dre naturally wants to make soul music. He literally probably has MJ like vibes toward fans of gangsta rap

He wants Marsha Ambrosia type music to be successful with his name attached

He doesn't want to have to keep going back to the gangsta rap well ... He's into music and musicianship

But the reason Suga Free is highly anticipated among his fanbase and Dr. Dre is alienating from his fan base is because pimping lends to the natural element of human seduction ... Gangsta rap lends to the energy of male adolescence, that's something you more quickly grow out of

But the industry never wanted to let pimp game be a focal point of their selling point, because it elevated the mind beyond that which feeds to the prison industrial complex

Dre needed to come back like a titan, similar to the vibes he had on the track from the Eminem Show album. That is right at the peak evolution for 2001 Dre and he was successfully moving from gangsta rap to rapping as though he is a literal giant megalith

Dre spinning donuts in a Chrysler 300C product placement is like the Steve Buscemi "how do you do fellow kids" meme

no one says this about any other genres

though i dont think dre or timbo have made a good rap beat since The Documentary

 

[MINT]

You can tell they're really old just by looking at their traditional 90/2000s rollout lol...who is ever dropping several tracks as singles weeks before an album drop?

 

[Germms]

Snoop never gettin a Grammy now smh
