Accept Bush as a delayed dank disco triumph, and then drop it like it's hot, one more time.
From the moment opening track "California Roll" hits its "Drop It Like It's Hot"-ish bass line, Bush is a pleasant stroll down memory lane.
While Bush is strong enough musically, you can’t help but wonder what would’ve happened if this crew had followed R&G with a full-length a decade ago, when everyone involved was still in his prime.
Even with its intermittent highlights, Bush comes off as a side project, not the meeting of two risk-takers who have created numerous classics.
The whole thing is in part an homage to the days when Uncle Snoop was a nephew, but with hardly a hint of innovation, Bush loses its nostalgic sheen quickly.
YOOOOO THE FEATURES ARE FINALLY GOOD AGAIN... It only took him... Let's see, 7 years. I'm so happy Snoop made these late career bangers, or else I'd be miserable. That Pharrell production brings a new life into the aging Snoop Dogg sound, even if it is a little bit forgettable. And don't forget that it has a short runtime.
You know things are getting weird when the best release from snoop Dogg in like 15 years is a r&b album. this is very catchy, funk, 70s record. I like the vibes and production by Pharrell Williams (some of his best beats are here) but snoop clearly can’t sing (no way Marielly Holmes). not a big deal because I wouldn’t care if this plays at forever 21, for example, because this sounds like shopping/clothing store music. But it’s very funny, this is what makes the songs ... read more
Man, Pharrell and Snoop just work, a combo as essential as any. I love the approach here, angling Snoop to a pop rap record that doesn't ever challenge the listener, nothing but good vibes and good times, perfect summer music from front to end. California Roll and Peaches N Cream are the super lovely standouts of the record, they shine bright enough to fit whether you're partying outside or chilling inside. But man, I'm Ya Dogg is a monster of a lowkey track. And Kendrick comes in with the ... read more
Starts off amazing but as the album progresses it starts to feel old and that's weird because this thing is only 10 tracks. The singing from snoop is ok, but it's def the features and production that carry this thing. I think for a funk album it's pretty good, would suggest to people who like to hear happy music while walking at the beach or something.
Best tracks: California roll, R U A freak, peaches N cream
Worst tracks: Edibles
Sweet funk. Everything would have been solid if not for the song with T.I and 'so many pros'. Some of the songs even sound repetitive but it's still cool. I enjoyed this project. It would have got a bigger rating if snoop featured funky type artists and put more quality production into it.
