Back in the day, so many unforgettable moments. I remember picking up The Chronic on cassette the day it dropped and going to The Wherehouse for Doggystyle’s midnight release. I lived through Ruthless and Death Row eras. In Los Angeles, we had Westside Radio and Friday Night Flavaz—people would stay up late, recording world premieres off the radio.

I still remember the night Warren G and Nate Dogg premiered “Regulate” on Power 106. Warren even talked about another track he had with Nate called “Gangsta Groove” and accidentally played a snippet on the radio. The night DJ Jam played the OG version of “What Would U Do?” Those were amazing times, and this sound was all so new to us.

I’ve been following this discussion and agree with the disappointment around “Gorgeous.” For me, I expected something groundbreaking from Dre. But, as others have pointed out, since the Scott Storch, Mike Elizondo, and the 2001 crew, Dre hasn’t found a new signature sound. From Straight Outta Compton, N4L, The Chronic, Doggystyle, 2001, to The Documentary, Dre always moved the needle.

Which brings me to Missionary. Everything about this project feels like a letdown so far. “Gorgeous” didn’t live up to the hype. I’ve tried to get into it, but it’s just not what I expected from Dre and Snoop. My friend Chris, who engineers for Snoop, got to hear the full album and sequenced it. He told me, “just wait,” but wouldn’t say more. I’m hoping the rest of the album is better, but I’m not optimistic.

Dre has too many producers involved now. The tracks are incredibly short, and I just don’t have a great feeling about this album. Granted, I’m not expecting a sequel to Doggystyle in terms of sound but this isn’t even close.

It was an incredible ride while it lasted.

Sonically Gorgeous is incredible to me. And with Iovine's involvement, I wasn't expecting a street single for our first taste. So we'll see! We got at least a weed song coming (petty and jelly roll) and the 50/eminem joint -

I hope the 50 Cent/Eminem joint as the next single. C.S. Armstrong described it as "The greatest piece of audio you've ever heard". I think it's a good choice for a real street single. Let's see..
