What if the Snoop / Dre album name ‘Missionary’ is a red herring?

Was just thinking that it could actually end up being framed as something more akin to The Chronic 3, with Snoop is understandably taking the starring role.

It would allow for them to be promoting it as they have been, but with less pressure than that type of album roll out would otherwise garner if it’s really Dre finishing up the trilogy, whilst killing the Detox thing entirely at the same time.

If that was actually what’s going on then only a couple people would actually know the truth ahead of time.

I mean, the name Missionary is really really bad, and they would prob be clowning folks for believing that it was ever going to be the real name of the album.

Id say prob about 85% confidence that I’m wrong, lol :snoop: but you never know. Just something that came to mind.

Dre said in that Stephen A Smith interview that he wants to inspire producers and engineers with the quality of this album. That sounds like the ol’ perfectionist Chronic, royal flush and poker chips all-in on the table, Dre talking.

Do we know ANYTHING about the features at all? If so please share as that could lead me to change my mind, or add fuel to my nonsense.

Again, I don’t really really believe this btw, it’s just fun to speculate.

Its just such a bad name to run with.

It’s no worse of a name than Doggystyle. The only thing Doggystyle has on it is that it’s a play on Snoops name. Missionary is just a flip on the original album name that’s all.

Does anyone have any recent Dre produced tracks? Is there an update on his traditional sound? I truly don't know what to expect in 2024 from a Dre/Snoop collaboration.

If you listen to the last Marsha album, think that might be an indication. Its meant to be a more mature album so i wouldnt expect anything groundbreaking.

Sheet is gonna sound CLEAN though...

I still think they may switch the name last minute if we don’t see any artwork or physicals soon. They could have revealed that yesterday but chose not to. They must know the name has been poorly received. Unless there is a concept reason behind it (outside of that teaser clip).

Just being hopeful rather than serious though.

its supposed to be a more mature album... missionary is a grown up/married sex position while doggy is raunchier, its a funny tongue and cheek title, THEY HAVE ZERO reason to change it...

i don't love it either but it makes sense and personally would take it over Doggystyle part 2 or some shyt like that any day of the week

I appreciate the intention / thinking behind that, but it‘s just a bad name imo. Maybe that view will change in time.

I just hope they’re not trying to recreate Doggystyle or The Chronic…maybe an homage in terms of production and feel, that would be fire…but I don’t want to hear 50-55 year old men rapping about 20 year old men stupid shhit, 🤦🏽‍♂️. Don’t have to rap about boring shhit either lol, there can be a happy medium that’s still fly. First day listen either way tho, 🤷🏽‍♂️
