SNOOP DOGG - MISSIONARY (Official Discussion)

[The Predator]

Straight Outta Compton, Efil4Zaggin, No One Can Do It Better etc...and this one...not in name but all Dre records.

-----------

On the rap side of things -

Do ya think Snoop be writing his own lyrics on this, did the single feel that way?

If not, who's the likely ghosts?

any word on D.O.C's involvement in this?

[Sccit]

Yes it is. It is a full executive produced album by Dre. Has Dre done this much promoting for anything in the past 20+ years? Nope. He never promoted any of his artists like this (Eminem, 50 cent). He barely even promoted Compton after it came out. He has been promoting Missionary like crazy.

You are crazy if you don't think this is a Dre album. If this weren't a Dre album, then it would have dropped a long time ago as that is snoops way of doing things. It isn't a Dre album as literally this is a Dr. Dre album, but this is very much a Dr. Dre project.

Dre produced a few tracks on Eminem's latest album, but I wouldn't even come close to calling that a Dr. Dre project. Dre is in complete control over Missionary.

yea but dre’s personal catalogue is still

the chronic
2001
compton


so even after releasing marsha and snoop this year, he will still be going out on compton .. unless he drops another solo

[Elson]

Why the fuck is Dogg Pound not on it? I would love Daz Snoop and Kurupt on a dre production

[Sccit]

Do ya think Snoop be writing his own lyrics on this,

no

[haliaeetus albicilla]

Funky fresh, but too poppy for my taste. Drums hit though: two dry snares followed by two crash snares. Never heard that before.

Rag tied doper than this shit right now to me.

[The Predator]

no

Woah!

Nothing? He's just gonna be a tool for Dre and his team on this.

He aint gonna 'Shiznit' anything (according to D.O.C he wrote that shit, learned his lines, walked into the studio and free-styled it out in one take)

This Kaan guy is mentioned in the credits

Track was written by Dr. Dre, The-Dream, Perky-B, Coco Austin, K.A.A.N., Erik "Bluetooth" Griggs, FredWreck, Preach Bal4 & Snoop Dogg. No The D.O.C. credits on this one.

We know Dre aint writing the lyrics, maybe the first line or two to start the song like he used to do.

If it takes that many writers, then they doing that puzzle/game thing that Eric Sermon was on about.
Green eyed bandit has a track on this, wonder if it made it and which one it is.

Wanted to hear some original Snoopy slang like on the early Death-Row records - Biyatch!

I hope there's some storytelling songs on this, or at least a Watcher type song from Snoop's point of view...west-coast gangsta rappers used to be masters @ it.

Depends on how you look at it. If Missionary ends up being an amazing album and is universally received, then nobody is even going to remember Compton. They are going to relate Dre to Missionary. So no, Dre won't be going out on Compton.

And whether or not you agree with that, I personally think that is how Dre will look at it. Like I said, Dre has a huge ego, and he definitely cares what people think. You can tell that he knows Compton wasn't up to his own standards.

producers get writing credits too

I’ve played this one about 20x, as it’s infectious.  BUT I don’t know where these so called mature lyrics are??

The production is masterful on this the more I listen; especially during the chorus and second verse and outro.  Best Dre production in a long ass time.  Not sparse, but not a bunch of mashed together sounds.

Yew i was thinking that, but the ones who are not are will have played a hand if Snoop aint fully writing his own shit.
