    40 seconds… we basically have half of the verse already unless it’s somehow a 2 minute verse or something. It’s hard to even call this a snippet at this point.

    The beat in Snoop’s verse is completely different (and better imo), do we think that is a beat switch up in the Gunz song or maybe a completely different track on the album? I recognize the sample btw but can’t place it…

    After first listen, the album is Average to me. There are definitely some hits on here, but the production seems too polished and not raw enough to meet my expecations for a Dre & Snoop album. I feel there are too many songs that sound very similar. I am also not sure why the album needed 2 Intros? The album does not have a West Coast sound or Death Row sound or vibe to it at all.

    Overall sound: Snoop trying to sound gangster over Pop beats & hooks (Not a great mix IMO). Dre is still able to produce some good beats, but not consistently is shown on this album.

    Standout Tracks:

    Outta Da Blue
    Gorgeous
    Last Dance With Mary Jane
    Thank You - Best Track - Wish it was longer than 2.5 minutes
    Pressure - 2nd Best Track - Wish it was longer than 2.5 minutes
    Gunz N Smoke? - Expected a better beat for these 3, but nice to hear them all on the same track together. 50 rapping fast sounds a bit strange.

    Great verse over a terrible beat. We are always too hard on his verses. I do want the angry Em back at times and the verse seems like it is begging for the angry Em instead of the calm Em. He seems to not know how to mix the 3. It seems his sound is either: Always angry (Too much) or Always calm (Too much) or Always Chopping (Fast rap too much).

    Why did he not use any of his Death Row artists on this album? I don't understand it. He has some great talent on there:

    October London
    Merkules
    D Smoke
    Tha Dogg Pound
    Tha Eastsidaz

    Not putting Tha Dogg Pound on this album is criminal

    So ”Thank you” is on the album? Good news in that case since it wasn’t on the original tracklist!

    The 2 intros is insanely stupid. Why? What sort of creative decision is it, what's the impact supposed to be? Just no. I'm loving the vibe of Gunz N Smoke though. Wish Em was scrapped and it had a Dre verse instead but could have been worse.

    The soundscape on this album is amazing. Dre got real f---ing musicians and an orchestra playing in the studio.. The budget for this album must have been crazy. This is the closest to Detox we will ever get. Much Better than Compton. Most musically advanced hip hop album ever made.
    In an age where everybody can build a cheap beat on a phone and people are f---ing with it. This is what hip hop needed.
