Snoop Dogg & Dr. Dre - Missionary (Discussion Thread)

[Malcy86]

ITS STILL A SNOOP SOLO

JUST LOOK AT THE COVER

THEY ADDED DRE’S NAME ON STREAMING SERVICES TO GET MORE STREAMS BECAUSE IT GETS ADDED TO HIS PAGE IF THEY PUT IT UNDER BOTH NAMES


AND YEA, ALBUM IS UNDERWHELMING .. I WOULDNT SAY TRASH, BUT FAR FROM WHAT WE EXPECTED

Was always marketed as a Dre/Snoop project. It would never have made the cover but it's been widely accepted it's a joint project. I suppose it helps for streams but they were pushing the physical for this too until they delayed online orders but shops had plenty, albeit missing Thank You. The pop up in LA had a bunch of alt-cover 2001's too.

This is as much a Dre/Snoop project as LL/Tip or Common/Pete Rock. They should have just done it that way from the off instead of omitting Dre from the cover because he's credited everywhere else.

Another 4/10, this time by Slant Magazine

While the music is big and hulking, the smaller details seem to have been glossed over.

ITS SNOOP+DRE THE SAME WAY THAT DOGGYSTYLE IS SNOOP+DRE

BUT STILL TECHNICALLY A SOLO SNOOP ALBUM .. LIKE DOGGYSTYLE

THATS WHY DRE IS LISTED AS A FEATURE

THE LL ALBUM WASNT LISTED UNDER Q-TIP EITHER.. NOT EVEN ON STREAMING. SO TECHINCALLY A LL SOLO ALBUM PRODUCED BY TIP.

COMMON N PETE ROCK WAS A LEGIT DUO ALBUM ALA GANGSTARR.. THE COVER IS ALL U GOTA LOOK AT TO SEE WHAT IS AN ISNT.

DR. DRE HELPS BRING OUT THE BEST IN SNOOP DOGG ON ‘MISSIONARY’​

'Tha Doggfather' is also slept on in the sense that everyone hated on it because it wasn't as good as 'Doggystyle' but it has several standout tracks..

This new album makes Doggfather sound like Doggstyle 2.

TOO BOOST STREAMING NUMBERS

THEY DID THE SAME THING ON MT. WESTMORE ALBUM BY LISTING CUBE AND SNOOP TO REACH THE AUDIENCE ON THOSE ARTIST PAGES

But it’s also released by both of their labels.

So maybe it’s technically or in theory a collabo album, but practically a snoop album

RELEASING ON BOTH LABELS MEANS NOTHING

ITS STILL A DRE PRODUCED ALBUM, SO DRE STILL COLLECTS 50% ROYALTIES

BUT ITS A SOLO SNOOP ALBUM

DSP CREDITS MEAN NOTHING .. YOU GOTA BASE A RELEASE ON CATALOGUE INPUT, WHICH IS ALWAYS ON THE COVER ART

SO IT WOULD BE LISTED AS SNOOP DOGG - MISSIONARY .. OFFICIALLY COUNTED AS HIS TWENTIETH SOLO ALBUM:

I mean this is whatever....i guess hip hop is only really experiencing for the first time legends in their 50s and 60s making music...this is what most music by old mfs sound like....mid and inoffensive. Although some late-RZA era level awful hooks on this shyt. Every once in a while a guy like Bob Dylan or Gil Scott-Heron will drop some dope shyt late in their career but it's a rarity. And for guys like Dre and Snoop who are probably got yes men surrounding them, then they're never gonna get back to the essence of what made them nice back in the day.

I think our problem is putting too much expectations on OGs like this. It ain't supposed to be good. When Paul McCartney drops another album most people accept it's gonna be some mid and keep it moving

Gil Scott Heron dropped this in 2010 and this was HEAT to me. They used this in an episode of power

Finally listened to this. It doesn’t sound terrible, but it also doesn’t have anything that stands out to me.
