In a new video posted on Instagram yesterday, Snoop Dogg shared an exciting update. The rapper has oficially revealed the release date for his much-anticipated album Missionary, produced entirely by Dr. Dre. Slated for release on December 13, Missionary will serve as the long-awaited follow-up to Snoop’s 1993 debut collaboration with Dr. Dre, Doggystyle which was released a whopping 31 years ago. In the clip, two Mormon missionaries arrive at a stranger’s door, only to be greeted by a woman in lingerie who says, “What the fu**? Your ad said you were dedicated to missionary work.” The humorous twist adds intrigue to this highly anticipated release, giving fans a glimpse of the album's cheeky spirit.
This album is an ode to Doggystyle on it's 30th anniversary, the album which slowly became the “fastest-selling hip-hop album ever at the time, and has since been hailed as one of the best rap records of all-time” according to Variety.
Netizens react
Fans were unsurprisingly ecstatic. “Holy fuck you just made my year! I’ve literally waited forever for you and Dre to follow up Doggystyle. I was 14 years old when Doggystyle dropped, you’ve made a middle aged man feel like a teenager again,” said one on X. “I definitely haven’t been this excited in years for an album drop 🔥,” said another. But while most fans were excited about the the music, there were some who couldn't believe that Snoop had managed to pull a double entendre so smoothly. “LMAO...I was like....Missionary...then it hit me....DoggyStyle was the other album. Boy...you crazy,” was a fan's opinion.
