Maybe many here expected something else, but so much hate and disrespect in the last few weeks against the 2 OG's is the last! Shame on you!

How is the quality on the non Apple streaming or the hi-res digital download sites? All Ive heard is Apple. Hoping a deluxe cd will come out at some point to buy with thank you and hopefully another bonus.

First week billboard top 20 only and 36k units sold.

dissapointing first week.

weak singles, no music video and thats the result i guess.

i had the Quboz version (16 tracks) with the bright master. CD version is the only safe one to go for.

unfortunately the instrumentals all have the hot treble, not much we can do about that.

I like the album for what it is and not for what i expected to be. it 's a good album past the little disapointement of not having a memorable Dre beat but the production is still good and it's for sur one a top five or top 6 snoop's album especially after 30 + years. And Dre bring the best out of snoop vocaly. i like this album. Some people had too much expectations in my opinion. And for me it's the best project from snoop or Dre in a longtime. It's not a classic like we wished it would be but it's a good album with good verse good beat a Nice snoop on the mic.

i am trying to understand what kind of music dre trying to form.

i feel some 70s 80s vibe on instrumentation but what i notice clearly is drum patterns.

instead of two or three songs most of the songs have unusual drum patterns except of classic 4/4 hip hop drum loops.

what else did you guys notice? do you think album has a style on its own?

I think this is one of the big factors of why people may struggle to get into the project as it's not easy for the casual listener to get into.
I love old school jungle/drum and bass, so I can easily get into the choppy drum loops and production style with lots of chopped up beats and sound effects.
Ironically, this album is more hip-hop than people realise in terms of techniques of some of the sounds, effects, drum loops, breaks etc.

I find it really odd how mixed the opinions are on this album. Not just on this forum, but online reviews and review/ reactions from YouTube. It’s a weird mix of people calling it total trash and others praising the album, some even calling it AOTY.

For me, it’s a good album. Not as good as Doggystyle, NL Top Dogg, or Last Meal. But probably as good as BCT in my opinion.

definitely not trash imo but also not what I expected from them

I would put BCT ahead of it, the standouts on that album are better than the top songs on Missionary
