It's "STILL" Dre And Snoop Despite Album Tripple Wood!

It's "STILL" Dre And Snoop Despite Album Tripple Wood!

Snoop & Dre's 'Missionary' Got Folks Side-Eyeing the Billboard Charts Like, "For Real?"

Aight, so boom. Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre pulled up with their long-awaited album Missionary, ready to bless the game. But looks like the Billboard 200 ain’t exactly rolling out the red carpet. Word on the street (aka HITSDailyDouble) says the album’s first-week numbers might be around 36,000 units. That’s it. Thirty-six thousand. Bruh, even my cousin’s mixtape sold more—and that was just to his barber.

With those numbers, Missionary might sneak into the Billboard 200 at No. 20, chillin’ behind Tyler, The Creator’s Chromakopia and Kendrick Lamar’s GNX. No disrespect to the legends, but this debut ain’t giving “iconic duo vibes”—it’s more like when you text “we need to talk.” Awkward.

If these projections hold up, this’ll be one of Snoop’s most “meh” albums sales-wise, and Dre’s absolute worst. Yes, the Dr. Dre. The same man who once sold albums like he had a cheat code. Meanwhile, Snoop’s recent projects—like Bible of Love, Algorithm, and Bacc on Death Row—been struggling harder than my Wi-Fi during a Netflix binge. Dre, on the other hand, has never had a project debut outside the top 10 or sell less than 200k in its first week. This is uncharted territory for him, and not in a good way.

But Dre’s not sweating it. In fact, he’s been hyping Missionary like it’s the second coming of The Chronic. Earlier this year, in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Dre said, “This one’s gonna show a different level of maturity with his lyrics and with my music. I feel like this is some of the best music I’ve done in my career  I’m not playing.”

Alright, Dre, we see you. But the streets still gotta hear it before we co-sign.

The album’s got 16 tracks and features a squad deep enough to start a basketball team, including Eminem, 50 Cent, Method Man, Sting (yes, that Sting), Jelly Roll, Jhené Aiko, BJ The Chicago Kid, and even the late Tom Petty.

One standout track, “Gunz N Smoke,” finally links Snoop, Dre, Em, and 50 all together like the Avengers of Hip Hop. And they didn’t just stop there—they sprinkled in some Biggie tributes too, with both 50 and Snoop borrowing bars from the legendary Brooklyn MC. A bold move, but hey, it’s Biggie. Gotta pay homage.

So yeah, the numbers might be shaky, but the vibes? We’ll let y’all be the judge. Just know, whether Missionary flops or flies, Uncle Snoop and Dr. Dre are still legends out here.
