Snoop Dogg's Missionary Features Tom Petty Tribute

Snoop Dogg's newly released album, 'Missionary,' features a track titled 'Last Dance with Mary Jane,' which samples Tom Petty's classic 'Mary Jane’s Last Dance.' The collaboration, which includes Jelly Roll and production by Dr. Dre, reflects on Snoop's long-standing relationship with marijuana, portraying it in both playful and serious tones. Interestingly, Tom Petty had previously predicted that a version of his song by Dr. Dre would be a hit, a prophecy that has now come to fruition. The album also includes contributions from notable artists like Eminem, 50 Cent, and Sting. While Snoop emphasizes the weed theme, Petty himself once claimed that his original song was not intended to be about marijuana. 'Missionary' is noted for its heavy sampling of classic tracks, showcasing a blend of nostalgia and contemporary hip-hop.
