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.

:manny:The album is ass cheeks for me, I’m disappointed at the hype they were giving it. Definitely not worth the wait but I’ll let listeners decide.

Theres elements of Hard Knocks that I like, and I assume those are the sorts that focus contributed, theres a bunch of elements of it that I don't care for, beat change I like overall but the sound is not what you would want/expect from a Dre produced Snoop album.

Gorgeous grew on me a little upon my second listen but what I primarily like about it is the Fredwreck contributions on keys.

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.
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.
