Snoop Dogg & Dr. Dre - Missionary (Offical Album Thread)

[Playaz Eyez]

Remember DOC was saying this album was like the modern continuation of the Death Row era sound?

Must’ve been referring to the Nu Mixx Klazzics Death Row Era sound

 

[CHICAGO]

People saying this is dope also said the Compton album was fire and people were just hating but no one ever talks about that album. This will be the same. Totally forgettable.

I NEVER HEARD COMPTON...

ONCE I HEARD A FEW SONGS
FROM THIS ALBUM
AHEAD OF TIME AND REALIZED
IT WASNT GOING TO SOUND
LIKE DOGGYSTYLE I WENT IN
WITH AN OPEN MIND.

TOO MANY PPL WANTED IT
TO SOUND LIKE THEIR OLDER MATERIAL
INSTEAD OF JUDGING IT ON
ITS OWN MERIT.

THE ALBUM IS GREAT

All bias and personal preference aside doe, this is not good. This is simply bad music that is hard to defend from a pure quality angle.

It has nothing to do with expecting them to make their old stuff again...this is just bad lol. But then again its OK for an individual to enjoy it. I do enjoy a bunch of ojectively bad albums myself but this really doesnt change the fact theyre crap.

 

[Tommy Fits]

Nothing on it was bad. Just... Uninspired musically, thought Snoop actually sounded good though.

 

[tehparadox]

We used to say dre didnt really deserve to be on all time lists because he only had 2 albums...well now we can officially say Dre has just as many bad albums than good ones.

 

[tehparadox]

Going from being a legendary producer to now having a mediocre catalog...damn.

 

[derro13]

Revisiting my score, 2.5/5. Uninspired.

the difference is that Kendrick is catering to a younger audience(though he's almost 40). Nothing about Kendrick's last album relates to the G funk era. Absolutely nothing!! It's inspired by trap/hyphy music. And that's the problem with hip hop today. If you aren't doing trap music, you're placed in a box that you've got to replicate your best album. Why people want to see 40-60 year old men doing trap music is beyond my knowledge.

Don't forget, some people were bashing 2001 as well when it dropped in 1999 because they wanted another Chronic. We all know what people said about Nas' It was Written and even EPMD got fukked up by some critics for Business Never Personal, and I believe that is one of their top 2 albums. Everybody aint gonna like your shyt. I say I just drop it and hope half of your fanbase accepts it. We are living in the 2 week era of music. Your album drops, people talk about for 2 weeks and move on to the next FREE album. Cuz 99.99999% of people aint paying for shyt. That .00001 % that still buy vinyl and cds aren't a factor in what's hot.

Nah I disagree. 'GNX' is not a "trap" album Lol.... it has influences from all over, from all different eras but still manages to sound modern.

This album sounds modern but in the worst possible way. It sounds like some inoffensive shyt that white people can play over the holidays

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

But I will repeat... Snoop was great on it. If anything, this album has me anticipating Snoop's next project..

 

[Playaz Eyez]

On it’s own merit the album stinks. No one was comparing it to Doggystyle heading into 2025. I don’t think I’ve even listened to Doggystyle since 1997.

 

[Gorilla Pimp]

Not bad, I could listen to it front to back in one go.
Sonics pass especially on speakers.
Everyone is energised in their raps.
The tracks I didnt like so much would've been acceptable as a bonus tracks.
Hope we can get a Kings Disease like series from this cz I'm eager to hear where they take it.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

If the whole album sounded like the beat on 'Gorgeous' I'd really fukk with it.

 

[⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐]

You will like this then

You will like this then

This is honestly the type of shyt I was expecting from the album

 

[THE 101]

I was thinking I was getting an album full of tracks like Imagine

Yeah you could do a nice mix of all of Snoop and Dre's collabos on No Limit Top Dogg, Tha Last Meal and Blue Carpet Treatment, plus The Wash, and you'd have a dope album.
