Snoop Dogg & Dr. Dre Unleash A Short Film, ‘Missionary,’ Along With New Album

Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre released the explosive new Missionary short film on the heels of Snoop Dogg’s highly anticipated studio album ‘Missionary’ produced by Dr.Dre.

The album features “Last Dance With Mary Jane” (ft. Tom Petty and Jelly Roll, sampled from the original Petty song). Petty, who was connected to Dre through Interscope founder Jimmy Iovine, seemed to anticipate Dre and Snoop would use it one day. “I have this video clip with Tom Petty saying ‘If Dre ever samples the song Mary Jane’s Last Dance, he’s going to have an instant hit on his hands,’” Dre told Los Angeles Times. “It comes along with a massive amount of trust. And you know, Snoop’s putting his entire career and his legacy and everything that he’s built in my hands. So I have to really nurture that and make sure it’s presented in the right way.”

Missionary is more than an album—it’s a moment for the culture that not only further cements the legacy Snoop and Dre have built across rap and pop culture, but also marks a new beginning for one of the most important and influential musical duos in music history.
