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

[mrvaughn]

You could never go wrong with Snoop and Dre, so I have to give this a listen later, too, just for the nostalgic vibes these two have together.

However, I do recognize that Snoop hasn't exactly had a good album in a long time; he's kinda like Ice Cube in that they're both Hip-Hop vets releasing music over the past decade, and then some, but the majority of that hasn't been very good.

I stopped checking for Cube albums a long time ago because he just sounds awful with terrible beats, I've felt similarly with Snoop but I've honestly never listened to Snoop's discography in full like some of y'all have so I just assumed most of his stuff after Last Meal besides singles wasn't worth checking out, that's something I gotta do one day, go through his entire catalog.

A bunch of Snoop albums are worth checking out…

Blue Carpet Treatment - Fantastic
7 Days of Funk - Great
Bush - Great

Bacc on Death Row - Good
Paid Tha Cost to be Tha Boss - Good
Rhythm & Gangsta - Good

Some of the production on this is very good but it's still overproduced (much like the 'Compton' album) and the problem here with Dre isn't so much that everyone is expecting 'The Chronic' because '2001' was very different.... but it was updated/refreshing and sonically it was a masterpiece, it moved production forward, it was cutting edge much like it's predecessor.

The production on this isn't cutting edge. It's what I would call "safe" and "top 40"

Using ghostwriters is the corniest, worst shhit in hip hop ever. Don’t let these platforms and shhit make you accept this as normal and regular now, it’s corny and disgusting. This should have ended Drake’s rap career before Kendrick, . Was Dre using ghost-producers too for his beats on this shhit? , I wanna listen but , I don’t wanna hear some random dude’s rhymes and some random dude’s beats being presented by Snoop and Dre, smh

Dope album

The album is...ok. I think my issue is with the hooks, none of them feel really memorable or stuff that I want to go back to (except Gorgeous).

The singer they featured - Cocoa Sarai - her voice and hooks just didn't hit for me. The album does feel overproduced but Dre & Snoop are damn near 60 years old and are multi-millionaire businessmen and icons so my expectations weren't super high.

I salute them for all the classics they gave us and any dope music they make in the future is just a bonus.

Finally getting around to listening to it. Only 3 songs in and I’m pleasantly surprised. I think a lot of the complaints would be alleviated if Dre used less cymbals or less of a live drum sound, and singers with richer voices (would rather have heard LaToiya Williams on “Gorgeous” than Jhene Aiko. It’s fun and a lot better than I was expecting. It sounds like Dre improved the things he was doing on “Compton”.

Your taste is horrific. Outside of Gorgeous, those are the worse songs.

They made or tried to make an adult contemporary album, this wasn't supposed to be Chronic 3 or Chronic 4. And those songs pulled that off without sounding too much like sellout sh1t. Some of the other songs sounded instantly forgettable.

Thank You is dope too though
