I'm not disappointed with anything I've heard off this album. I'm excited to get a really good new snoop album. I know the quality is there. I've kept expectations pretty low. I've been playing Gorgeous A LOT, my kids are even getting annoyed with me. The album will be the best Snoop album in a loooooooong time. What else can we ask for? I was 10 or 11 when Doggystyle came out. We all dubbed it off each other in elementary school. Everyone at school knew the album. I was 16 when 2001 came out. You couldn't go to a house party without seeing a dozen of these cd's laying around the stereo. These were big social albums that all our friends knew. Even non-rap fans knew these albums. It was a different time. We all associate these albums with these fun times in our lives. Now I'm over 40. I'm gonna stream Missionary on my way to work (I'm still gonna play it loud). Most people I know listen to country music now. I couldn't care less if this gets radio play. I haven't listened to the radio in years. I don't care if this gets played in the clubs. I don't go to clubs anymore. Dre and Snoop's fans aren't kids anymore. This album can't be as big as the old ones were. Young people don't care. Old people are old.

Maybe that “demo” track is from a new Dre album.
Shit is ugly man. That hook on thank you; Outta da blue. Gorgeous is a nice track. The Sting and Jelly Roll tracks sound promising and funky.Westcoast is flushing with shit; Cube album is mwa only 2-3 dope beats, Kendrick: cant stand that overly done delivery; makes me tired listening to that. Dpg album sounds rushed; all filler; maybe 1-2 good tracks.On the other hand i dont care About the west in particular; just want good funk no matter where its from.Eastsidaz EP still dope though.
