2024's calendar year for music can't come to an end without a new project from Snoop Dogg. In a year when he starred in a new movie called The Underdoggs, dropped a Still G.I.N. alcohol brand, and joined The Voice, Snoop has crowned everything by contributing to the medium that made him a superstar: rap music.
Posts Maybe it's a lack of chemistry, or maybe it's a matter of expectations being too high, but this doesn't connect with its potential. Snoop tries to match the Police-esque production, but comes off as low energy compared to his usual bombastic tone. Snoop almost feels like he's trying to croon more than anything, while Sting, in the end, feels like he's trying to rap. Frankly, Sting trying to rap was never going to connect.
"The Negotiator," while again, not a terrible record, it deprives the album of ending on the bang that it deserves to, given the greatness that came in tracks before it. To say that it ends in a whimper seems harsh, but it does end in an anti-climactic fashion when Missionary is deserving of more of a big finish.

Jhene Aiko While so much of the album is evocative of a '90s G-Funk era throwback, this production feels like one literally pulled straight out of the '90s, as if Dr. Dre used one of his beats left on the cutting room floor from an old 1990s production. Such a song certainly has its novelty. It's a head-bopper and a finger-snapper for sure. Snoop has a solid verse as well.

K.A.A.N. and Coco Sarai This track features a similar beat switch-up, but while"Hard Knocks" feels like two songs melded into one, with"Sticcy Situation", it feels like a song that truly feels like the beat-switch is essential to the record. One half of the song doesn't work without the other, and more importantly, both sides of the record complement each other.

It's clearly the shortest, but had it lasted a bit longer, he could have been viewed as having been just as on par with Method Man and Snoop. It's easy to overlook Smitty for being the shortest, but the ghost writer proves a solid addition.
✕ Remove Ads BJ's hook is tremendous, while Snoop delivers one of the best verses he's delivered in quite some time. The same compliment especially applies to Dr. Dre, as his return to the microphone is well-warranted. These are elements that all come together in unison to make for one of the best songs on the album.
