Great production, but album probably 15 years too late

I'm surprised more people aren't feeling this new Kurupt track. 

I was nodding my head the whole way through the video and Kurupt flows so nicely over it.

How can you not love that Mothership Connection sample?!

It is very funky, a feel good track...that put you in that funky vibe mood

It's a nice track and Kurupt sounded nice in terms of his vocals, but the issue the I have with hip hop (specifically West Coast) is the countless lazy rehashing of the same samples over and over again.

I get that Missionary didn't land well for some people, but I really enjoyed it and glad that they tried a different direction.

Interesting take about Missionary considered it had some "lazy rehashing" of played out samples (but I enjoyed the album nevertheless)

tbh I don't remember one track from that album...I think I listened to it twice total

I might revisit it later though because there were albums that I went back to in the past and they weren't as bad as I originally had thought

I gave it another spin last week, Snoop vocals wera amazing, the beats were great, subject matter not so great. Overall all those element didnt mesh well together.

It's worth a listen for certain- Snoops flow at times is amazing...shows signs of what he could be capable of still.   Some interesting song concepts as well.  I really like Shangri-La, even if it does borrow the Stakes is High beat. Hardknocks is another one I replay lots, and Gorgeous had potential but the hook is brutal.  Outta da Blue back and forth raps from snoop and Dre feel nostalgic, but the production and hook are terrible.   I also bump Now or Never and Thank You consistently. Overall, the album has some highlights and shows momentarily what Snoop and Dre could do, but Dre relied on tired samples at times, and while he had Snoop FLOWIN, the lyrics didn't always fit.   
Doesn't mean I don't spin the album from time to time- in fact, it's the only album Snoop has ever spit some new subject matter lol

I feel with Snoop this happens a lot more often...for instance when Da Game album came out in '98 I didn't feel it at all because of the different style and production...sometime in the late 2000's I gave it another spin and it actually was not bad at all

Makes sense.  With his potential based on his flow (top five all time), the expectations are always higher than the product , and that was never more present than this Missionary album
