Now that a little time is passed in retrospect, how do you feel about Missionary? There was a time we never thought this would be possible. Now that its happened was it worth the wait? I feel like the instrumentals have aged well.

Good idea, poorly executed. Snoop Dogg rapped his ass off, but there was a disconnect, like there was no soul to it, the writers didnt study Snoop too well, the beats were good instrumentals but failed at being good songs. To me it was a childhood dream turned to nightmare, no replay value, no substance, the songs domt mesh well. Pharrell would have done a better job, Dre is old, rich and out of it.

It's OK, but in all honesty was a huge let down. The beats were far too complicated, glossy, commercial sounding which we all know wasn't what we, the fans wanted and it doesn't appear to be what Snoop wanted either.

There's some decent tunes on there which I do still spin, but overall it was a total letdown and missed the mark.

It had the biggest reputation to live up to, so I agree, it was the biggest disappointment ever.

I understand what they were trying to do, but it fell flat, no soul like hercy said.  dont know why Dre dumbs down the beats now.   And the vocals used to be to used like an an instrument, now everything is just rapping over beats not within them.  Just felt manufactured, no identity, reminds me of how things are now, everything is about being efficient, nothing stands out.

Best dr. dre project in last decade.

it's far from my expectations but it is still good and it would have been better if right singles were picked and promoted well.
