For the 20th Anniversary of 2001, Wing Night (the band) played the album in the entirety. I've been finally sharing the footage and would love to get some feedback from the hard-core Dre fans.

Never thought about it until now! Its in the intro tracks for both the chronic and doggystyle.

Anything that was "remastered" sounds like shit and I can't find the original rip anywhere. I have the new CD and vinyl and both also sound ass so yeah. Also if possible: lossless (.flac preferably).

How are we feeling about Missionary so far?

Personally I’ve listened to the album 3 times front to back. This is an album that you have to listen to with quality headphones. Sure the production is busy but that’s what Dre is going for, they’re going for the big cinematic beats which I’m fine with. I don’t wanna hear old Dre, we’ve heard old Dre, do we want him to just throw together a drum loop with some clanking pianos? I’m a huge Dre Stan and I’m glad we get to hear some different sounds. ICU really came through on this album.

I’m sure most of the hate will come from people 25 and under since there’s no trendy songs, and I guess using real instruments and musicianship isn’t cool nowadays.

I’m gonna do a track by track review, inital reactions I’d give this a solid 7-7.5/10

That’s it - that’s the post! 2 tracks, coincidentally 2 of the best tracks.

Ok in Australia we have JB HI FI which is a tech store and they sell vinyls - offical vinyls.

So I bought 2001 from there and played it on my record player and it SUCKED??? It kept jumping and stopping and hopping etc.

So I returned it and bought a different one but same problem!!???

Thing is, I bought the second one months later so it could be a manufacturing issue for a batch but they were pretty far apart

What I’m wondering is:

Is this some thing I have missed? Is this intentional? Etc etc etc

I mean I can't be the only one who noticed it like come on, it's total shit

New Dre x Snoop track from the Missionary Album!

I am looking for the full show of the 1994 MTV Movie Awards, not the 1994 MTV Video Music Awards, the 1994 MTV Movie Awards. Dr. Dre was at this event, and I believe he presented at this event too. Snoop Dogg was also there. And Nate Dogg and Warren G performed the song Regulate at this show. This full awards show is not uploaded on the YouTube or archive websites. I have been looking for it for quite sometime, and would love to see it.

The production from Dre's team for Snoops album Missionary has been pretty lacklustre so far. I think we were all hoping for a modernized g-funk sound but that's clearly not the direction they are going with this album. Im fine with them going with a direction sound-wise and I think it could make for interesting music. The songs that have come out so far just don't do it though, especially the song with Sting.

Gorgeous - I actually like this song, classic Dre piano's with some slapping drums. Snoops lines went pretty hard; this got me excited for what else we might get. But let's be honest, this shouldn't be the highlight of any album, this is more of a good "filler" track. 7/10

Outta da Blue - Not sure how to feel about this one. I've listened to it plenty of times and every time I come out feeling the song is too busy. the energy of the song is good and I get what they were trying to do but this doesnt have the classic clean Dre sound. I think the overall change in the sound of Dre's production is due to him working with new producers (especially Dem Jointz). Has a cool sample though! 5/10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfxFMc60kaA&list=PLfxR0GqmnReSH2yHG8soLZJFQISbT-F8E

Another Part of Me - This song is just...not great. It sounds like a cheap stadium or video game song if that makes any sense. The Sting sample is really whatever and how they handled the drums etc. didn't hit the mark. I really don't understand how this makes the album, it could be a throwaway on a Snoop mixtape. Hopefully this is the low point of the album and not an overall indication of what were going to see in December. 2/10

Dre's sound has always been influenced by what producers he's working with. 2001 was Mel-man, Stortch, Mark Batson, Mid 2000's had guys like DJ Khalil (underrated af), Compton-Present has Dem Jointz, Focus.... Again I think this is the reason for the over produced sound were seeing as Dem Jointz typically makes busy songs. I dont hate Dem Jointz or anything, I think he's made some dope songs especially on Compton, but what we've seen for Missionary so far aint it

I think theres reason to be excited for some of the songs, especially those with KAAN as I belive those will be rap heavy tracks.

hello is a more unkown track with ice cube, mc ren, and dr dre. dres verse seems more similar to the eminem written verses on forgot about dre, did eminem write his verse on hello?

Dr. Dre never had a number one song or album in his career. I almost can't believe it myself, but it's true. Now let's get this straight, as a featured artist he has hit number 1, like 2Pac's “California Love”, Blackstreet’s “No Diggity” or Eminem's “Crack a Bottle”, and he's been involved in many others reaching the top spot, but he himself has not. When he dropped The Chronic in December 1992, Whitney Houston released the soundtrack for the movie The Bodyguard, dude was competing with "I Will Always Love You", shit was a wrap lol. Then when he dropped 2001, it was the nu-metal era and the band Korn kept him at the number 2 spot. His last album Compton, which yeah I know isn't popular with a lot of people but it did debut with 295k units sold, however, country music fans were loving Luke Bryan's album Kill the Lights, which did 345k. If he just had a bit different timing he might have been able to hit the top spot on all three albums. Not to take anything away from him I think he deserved it but, well, that's how the cookie crumbles.

Was there beef between Dre, Warren G and Cube at the time? Dre ended up working on Ice Cube's "Hello" song a year later.

Look at this fanart of the Doctor.

I am looking for the full show of the 1999 Teen Choice Awards. Bulworth was up for Choice Movie Soundtrack, and Dr. Dre had a song on there. This full show is not uploaded on the YouTube or archive websites. I have been looking for this show for quite sometime, and I would love to see it. Hoping that someone here may have this show. Thanks.

I am looking for the full show of the 1994 MTV Movie Awards, not the 1994 MTV Video Music Awards, the 1994 MTV Movie Awards. Dr. Dre was a presenter there. And Snoop Dogg was there as a guest. This full show is not uploaded on the YouTube or archive websites. I have been looking for this for quite sometime. It would mean a lot to see it, and I would love to see it. Lots of great films were nominated that year too, with Menace ll Society winning Best Film here.

I expect 'No Diggity' by Blackstreet is the most common answer here, but mine is 'Hollywood' by Truth Hurts, produced by Hi-Tek who is my favorite producer. Once he talked about Dre vetoing his feature on that record last second, but 'Tek said to himself something like 'No, I'm the producer, so I'll keep his vocals on the track!'. 2nd place goes to Slip Capones' 'Doin' The Most' (Battlecat produced).

So, what is your favorite song with Dre on it, but without him on the beat and the production for another artist?
