Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg are the true definition of that ever-present “Name a more iconic duo” meme. The pair is set to drop Missionary, their first collaborative album since 1993’s Doggstyle, on Dec. 13. The highly-anticipated record includes the track “Another Part of Me,” featuring Sting. Snoop and Sting recently met up on the set of NBC’s The Voice, where the iconic Police frontman acted as a Mega Mentor to the season 26 coach’s artists. The “Gin and Juice” rapper made his admiration for Sting clear—and the 17-time Grammy winner says the feeling is mutual.
Sting Calls Snoop Dogg “The Biggest Star in the World”
“Another Part of Me,” track No. 8 on the upcoming Snoop Dogg-Dr. Dre collab Missionary, is inspired by Police’s 1979 single “Message in a Bottle.” (Yeah, we sang those last four words too.)
During a recent promo for season 26 of The Voice, Sting joked that he wrote the No. 1 hit in 1978 knowing that “one day Snoop would sing it.”
“I was very, very surprised by his interpretation of it and very impressed by it,” said the “Every Breath You Take” singer, 73.
Sting then revealed that Snoop Dogg was the selling point for his guest appearance on The Voice. “I loved Snoop on the Olympics,” he said. “And then this offer came through and I said, ‘Yeah, he’s the biggest star in the world right now, so I’m gonna be with him.”
