SNOOP DOGG - MISSIONARY (Official Discussion)

[AftermathBeats]

The problem is as it says in the interview, Dre doesn't look back and always wants to have a new sound, back then Scott Storch, Mel-Men, Dawaun Parker ,Dj Quick had worked with him ,every era had a different sound from Death Row until today

No special sound? But still better beats than the shit there is today

To be fair, these 2 beats are sick, way better than the Compton sound, which is what I assume the worry is from

Compton is perfect for me.

Compton is perfect for me.

That’s great that you loved it!  I did too, but we’ve both got to admit it lacks CLASSIC songs and that Dre’s rapping (aside from Talkin to My Diary and a few others) was just awkward

In the last ten years, I can only think of ONE song off the top of my head that fits what I want Missionary to sound like, and that song is ETA off.  The production has a great sample and isn’t just full of a bunch of sounds that don’t fit together like lots of recent Dre production. 

  Hopin for a lot more off those vibes PLUS a a few monster singles ala Still Dre.  Anything less and it’s a disappointment

RBX told me snoops going to be in Paris for next month or so. So no progress on missionary

The album won't be released until the end of the year. There is still enough time

That’s the only Joint I can’t listen to much of them, I think One Shot One Kill was more a new sound that I felt was needed from Dre and Snoop not a whole album but it was dope to me and I’m a Busta Fan but his flow kills the smoothness of the track doesn’t fit the vibe it’s an ok track I don’t like the mix of the Contract .. even the track with Nipsey the vocals over power the track and drums .. the balance in Casablanco versus Contract are day and night

[Sccit]

Nah beats are still dope, but nothing about them sounds like "only Dre can do it" to me. Dem Jointz can produce shit like that on his own (Guilty Conscience 2 is a proof of that).
Look at his GTA Ep: Dre has production credit on every record on it, but all of those records sound like something a person whom he shared a credit with would do without his involvement. I mean, a Bink beat sounds like a Bink beat, Fallin up sounds like Dem Jointz, ETA sounds like J LBS and so on. He just elevates what's been done by the others and puts it on another level, but he has no special unique sound. Like 15 years ago you could tell the record was Dre's from listenning to the first 5 seconds.

compton had its own unique sound


i didn’t care for the contract EP … i thought that was rushed and more of a video game thing than a proper music release … seemed rushed and poorly mixed and mastered compared to a proper dre release … and yea, the sound was also all over the place

It's embarrassing how they treat the fans. No press release or anything. It's almost like they don't have any business sense at all are they just don't care. There's no way to justify this.

press release will happen when there’s a release date set

[WCThang]

I do really believe we're going to get this.

Dre not gonna do Snoop dirty like that.

Talking to my diary was a classic, I'll give you that. But it was an older song, likely from a version of the Detox sessions as it had Slim the Mobster on backing vocals.

I thought Compton was decent, but I didn't really enjoy the overall vibe of much of the tunes other than Talking to my Diary and It's All on Me (which have a very different style to the other tracks).

On another note - another good recent-ish track is the leak of This is The Glory with Kanye and Snoop, when the track changes and goes to the Gin and Juice sample - that's what I want Missionary to sound like.

^ 1.45 onwards, but the beat switch at 2.40 is the one

I definitely enjoy Compton but I agree that Dre's rapping in his older years sounds weird to me. His voice and flow sound so unnatural to me nowadays.

Snoop fencing hahah
