Maybe he goes into the mythical "vault" and puts out a deluxe with the "golden beats" that are supposedly in there. That hit boy produced song someone posted in here is what I was kinda expecting the sound of this album to be. It ain't about being stuck in the 90s. You can expand on your og style it doesn't have to sound the same as 93 but it could have at least some lineage to that original sound we fell in love with. Songs with Sting and Tom Petty is not what a 46 yr old Snoop Dogg fan wants to hear from a long awaited Snoop and Dre reunion....Man just let Daz and Warren G produce him, Fred Wreck, Dam Funk etc., they've all made better music with Snoop over the last 25 years. You mean to tell me wasn't no unreleased Nate Dogg vocals laying around. Snoop is rapping good on this album whether he wrote his rhymes or not, the production on this album is what kinda sucks about it. I don't give a flying fukk about the mixing and mastering, if the beats are "delicate"





You're a real Snoop dogg fan.

+ rep

Cause this is exactly how I feel. Also this album makes Doggfather sound like a classic.

They are going to kill vinyl off again with some of the prices. Greedy MFers.

Yeah some of the prices these days are wild. Missionary is relatively priced for the market, but I know a lot of people who only cop second hand these days.

Personally unless it's some rare shyt I usually wait for a sale before buying anything these days.

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.

you should probably listen to the new cube album

So they released the instrumental version of the album on DSPs and the instrumental version actually sounded better than the album.

What I'm realizing is that the beats aren't particularly bad, but for the most part these weren't the types of beats that needed to go on a Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg album. Also maybe the songwriting on certain tracks in terms of hooks were lacking.

I honestly can see myself playing the instrumentals more than the album itself.
