SNOOP DOGG - MISSIONARY (Official Discussion)

[Zeccy]

I'm not saying it's definitely not from Missionary, it's just my opinion that I don't think it is (I very much hope it is as it sounds dope).
It very much has hallmarks of Still DRE with the hard drum beat and the same trombone melody.

Dre and the label seem to be very strict when it comes to officially releasing the snippets of the album
They dropped a small snippet of Gorgeous on the Missionary ad, but that was a proper official ad, so and it would be strange imo for them to release the beat from the album like this.
I would have thought they would of kept this gem under wraps so it will be a good surprise for those who will listen to the album for the first time.

Like I said, i hope i completely wrong and it is on the album!

This is how it sounds when it has hallmarks of Still DRE

That beat is just a watered down rehash of Still DRE, and it’s worrying if we are clutching at this as a hope for how some of the tracks on Missionary might sound.

Surely we are expecting better than this?

[goodyoung]

hopefully the album has something you can bump your head to because right now it's sounding like a bunch of yes-men and we'll be lucky to get a few great tracks.

unthinkable really but then came Outta Da Blue which is possibly the worst track Dre has ever put out. the beat is horrendous, just the fact it made the album and they're actually pushing the song. nothing is off the table as far as quality goes.

I wouldn't say it's the worst ever, Dre has some records worse than that, but yeah.

[goodyoung]

Also it's hilarious that some of yall thought that beat was from Missionary lmao. This sounds like youtube fanmade remix of Still Dre, it's crazy that yall can't tell a real from a fake

yeah it sounds like a fanmade beat or ea ski beat.

"Outta da blue" sounds like everything we hate about Compton.

"Outta da blue" sounds like everything we hate about Compton.

Nah, it's worse

Although Dre sounds better on it than he did on Compton

we still don’t know where it’s from …. but it’s the sound that we’re looking for. whether its properly layered or sonically on point is hard to tell when listening through a phone. however, it definitely has the 2001 sound, which is better than what we’ve heard thus far.

at this point, no

I think dre needs to ride this new west coast sound but with his twist, and adding shit. Yg, kendrick, mustard type beats, even tyga. But with dres touch. I think that he is trying too much. He is too cinematic. Thats is not bad, i like cinematic beats like he did on bustas bing bang track with Nas. That is right direction. Right now it is too much.

It sounds like the worst parts of Compton, but not the good shit.  And Dre’s vocals are better on Outta da blue than everything on Compton save for Diary.

[Jay_J]

outta da blue doesn’t sound anything like compton bro LOL

it sounds like a combination of "genocide", "for the love of money", "satisfaction"... you dont even have to listen closely, just try to remember.

he said he is trying to bring musicianship back in an interview. he think thats where rap music will evolve in close future.

what he means with musicianship is live instruments and different type of drums.

"gorgeous" is a good example of it but its an average song.

[Jay_J]

i still think that they are reducing expectations before they hit the world with their best song they are keeping.

on the other hand, i am thinking if outta da blue is the worst song on the album, which song would it be comparable from 2001 album? ackrite?
