Missionary

by Snoop Dogg

Ya know, when they bill an album as "Snoop Dogg & Dr. Dre" I feel like they're setting expectations quite high. Nothing on this record meets those expectations, none of it stands up to their past work together, and very little of it stands out as something I'd go out of my way to listen to again.

It's not necessarily that these tracks are awful, but the production is dull and the rhymes don't feel vital in any way. Comes off as a very going through the motions sort of release, both from Snoop on the mic and Dre as a producer. They've both done far better before... in fact, the previous releases from both artists both stand out as better examples of the types of things they're still capable of, even after all these years.
