Snoop Dogg’s new album, Missionary, dropped on Friday, Dec. 13. It features a cameo by the late Tom Petty on one of his own songs, “Last Dance With Mary Jane.”
The classic Petty track includes new lyrics performed by Snoop and Jelly Roll.
Other guests on the album include Sting, who appears on a track called “Another Part of Me,” 50 Cent, and the LP’s own producer, Dr. Dre.
In a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times, Dr. Dre said the reworking of the Tom Petty song was done with the late singer’s blessing.
“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.' 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.”
