COMPTON VS. MISSIONARY ... WHICH DO YOU PREFER?
geezy:
Missionary hands down for me.
Still bumping Hard Knocks, Skyscrapper, Gunz n Smoke,Shangri-La, Sticcy Situation & Pressure.
A lot of people might be disappointed because of the high expectations of a Dre Produced Snoop album but beats Compton for me easily.

The album has no filler, in fact, there were a lot of solid leftover tracks that Dre played on that radio station he had at that time on Apple what was it called was it Beats1? But they used to play a lot of exclusive leftover Dre material on that show for a few months after Compton was released I just can’t remember them all but I will look up some of those leftovers
How can you all not like the Premier and Anderson Pak cut?!? Anderson Pak and Justus and Mez — those guys crushed everything they were on!!
Premier track was 10 out of 10
Game’s “Another Day” was 10 out of 10 and lifted the film as well
“Talking to my Diary” was 10 out of 10 and lifted the film as well.
“Deep Water” was 10 out of 10 and I’m not even a big Kendrick fan but his verse was spectacular
Bone remake “Love of Money” was 10 out of 10 that track was bananas
You guys are crazy… I don’t how you all didn’t like this masterpiece. Just to prove I’m being objective I will say I wasn’t that impressed with Jon Conner but or that Snoop or Cube joint but it’s not like those joints were wack or filler—they were still dope and produced to perfection
Ya’ll are crazy…
I don’t even like new music, like Rubin said I’m still stuck in 96’. But even I thought Compton was a perfect album

Genocide, issues, just another day, for the love of money, satisfiction are songs i always skip.
its all on me, good song but, something missing.
all in a days work, fucking good song, it could have been better.
darkside/gone is a banger. both songs.
one shot one kill is a good filler. its a good song.
animals is a classic to me.
medicine man, hmmm, something missing again.
talking to my diary, good song, we all agree.
thats what i think about the album overall, there are few good songs but thats it. its so messy, its so dem jointz, its so focus.., its so non-dre for me.
Aftermath compilation beats Compton compilation soooo bad for me. i never go back and listen to any stuff from "compton" but i still keep listening to songs from aftermath compilation.

Both albums have flaws.
Compton has almost no laidback funk vibe - it is a fucking skyzo panic experience and has a lot of horrible tracks- talk about it, genocide, satisfiction. It is just too much going on: vocally and beatwise.
Missionary has a more laidback funk vibe/ 70’s early 80’s blaxploitation. But it has outta da blue and thank you which kill the vibe of it as a full album - both are utterly wack to me. I hate ‘watermelon fantasy’ and i hate that punjabi bollywood arpeggio and both hooks.
Compton - 2 great tracks stay on repeat for 10 years now. (All on me and Diary).
And about 2/3 ok joints i still enjoy every now and then. (Animals, Darkside, For the love of money)
Missionary - 4 great tracks on repeat (Hard Knocks, Skyscrapers, Sticky Situation, Now or never).
And about 4/5 ok joints (Intro/Shangri la, Fire, Negotiator, Another part of me, Gorgeous/Mary Jane).
The missionary instrumentals are a nice addition.
Missionary wins.
Only snoop lost his touch with the olympics, the trump support and the mediocre last album. Has he really become a clown?
I would definetly bump a Compton instrumental lp though, i think without the vocals it would be more accessable to listen to.
And Dre should release a Relapse instrumental album, so a great rapper like Rakim, Masta Ace, AG or so can get the chance to murder those beats, and put some proper hooks on it.

I like Compton better I thought it had better replay value. Although to be fair to missionary I haven’t gone back to give it another chance yet
