DAMN I had high hopes for this and reading your comments the last two pages I am thinking this is going to be all hype and a huge letdown.

This might be the correct take. Right now I can't think of a rapper that could do something interesting on these beats. That Jesus Is King remix album that mostly went under the radar was unbearable too.Snoop did his thing. Dre did not.
5 songs in and I'm fine with thisMy biggest takeaway is Snoop rappin' on this, not my fav or anything but I can appreciate the album
I dont totally disagree with what you're saying here but i think it has a lot to do with Jimmy Iovines influence over Dre as well, even look at that trash ass Drink Champs.ep, imagine how dope a 2.5 hour DC with Dre and Snoop would have been in their regular format, but Jimmy cock blocked that and convinced Dre to do it as a listening party with a live audience, you could tell when Dre said "ah i didn't think we were doing the show this way" and Nore says "yeah me either" the tone and expression on Nore face says he wasn't impressed. But yeah, Jimmy has had a strong influence on Em making those rock influenced stadium songs I think, and to me it seems like there was a deliberate attempt to make songs on here that would work in stadiums and in car commercials as someone else pointed out. I fear a bulk of this album will be marketing music and rock/pop influenced stadium music.I think this is down to music as it is this day and age. A Snoop/Dre project needs to be markeatable and profitable. If they have to do 'stadium' stuff to make a bit of money then the streaming zombies have caused that. It's a shame but that's how it is now. If people weren't streaming and were still buying music en masse then you can bet this project would be a lot different.
