The style of this album reminds me of the Neva Left album just random tracks to put out a release doesn’t seem to be any thought behind it - just something thrown together to put out there. A shorter track list and more focus and it could have been a dope album. First time I heard and really don’t like these new people LARussell and Akeem Ali but each to their own I guess this is what the young folk enjoy. The Sexy Redd song reminds me of when there used to be 1 No Limit Cut on Snoop Albums so I didn’t mind it too much.
I said Missionary was commercial not trendy.No, please do keep mentioning it, because it's a big problem with modern rap music. Traccs are waay 2 short, making all the songs consistently feel rushed and unfinished, like mixtape traccs instead of album cuts.
I really enjoyed this album, but like most Snoop albums, it has some very average and the odd terrible track.The first quarter of the album is excellent, then in becomes inconsistent.I really like Snoop's cadence and the effort put into his lyrics on this!A solid effort!
This sums it up for me as well. Snoop's flow and cadence is great, but as a whole the project is lacking here and there. In some songs I have the feeling that he took some learning from the “Missionary” sessions, the way the vocals were cut together.What I always find interesting is that every single Snoop album has some kind of stinker(s)...funnily enough, these are completely different for most users. This is the same pattern in all of the threads discussing his albums (including “Missionary”). I feel the same way with liking songs that others consider trash - and the other way around. Snoop once said that's why he always puts so many songs on his album.The comparison to “Missionary” should of course be completely avoided, but this album sounds much simpler and less elaborate. Is it just me or does the album sound very flat in general? Even though “Missionary” had its problems, the CD master sounded fantastic in places.
Any info on cd release??
What a nice surprise album from Snoop. Except for a few tracks it's a pretty solid effort. Missionary was a completely different album of course, but it was still an interesting experiment to see what Dre and Snoop can put together after so many years. The end result there was pretty dope too, but they built up so much hype for it that people were wrongfully assuming it would be something like the old days. It was there vision though and I respect that.This album, on the other hand, it was something that nobody was expecting. I truly admire Snoop's work ethic.Tracks with Denaun are fire as usual. My favorite track from them is still Long Gone which wasn't properly released unfortunately at the time. But Cold Summer and My Friend are cool additions to their lineup.
Long Gone is such a dope track.It was released on "unreleased heat rocks"
