Title: New Snoop Dogg single "So Many Pros" (video)
Post by: PLANT on April 14, 2015, 05:14:34 PM
The song is cool, wish Snoop could have dropped a verse on it.  Another dope, funky groovy beat, and the video is dope as fuck.

brilliant production on the instrumental 8)

It's cool.. I mean it sounds good and the video looks good... but I don't think it is something I can bump on the regular that ends up becoming a part of my life like the Snoop Lion project that brought me and my son closer together

i like it...dope production! snoops vocals ain't nothing special here, but the background singers did a good job...there is charlie wilson in the background isn't he?
would be cool if snoop kicked a verse on it tho

I was like meh after first listen but but... This shit gets better and bumps in the car.

This project will strictly be about funk & bumping, content wise, it won't be much.

As long as it bumps and it's funky, I'll be glad.

Summed up my thoughts.
I've been bumping this more and more.
The downside is that you really can't make out what snoop is saying clearly in his vocal delivery/effect, but the vocal is hypnotically catchy.

Damn, I don't know about the song but I liked the video. The people that make the opening credits to the Bond movies are going to be pissed when they see it because they didn't think of it.

Charlie Wilson sounds so great on Snoop records, even this one.

i played this a load yesterday and the whole thing grew on me a lot, the vocal part especially. i think i prefer it overall to peaches n cream, i just can't get into the verses on that one. but both tracks have great hooks and the instrumentals are 8) to the fullest. i know some of you were really feeling the 7 days thing, but the production was so cheap & barebones compared to these lavish grooves it's an instant win for 'Bush'. i liked it and all but i much prefer slick production when it's as funky as this...

Yeah the video is excellently executed, simple concept but creatively done imo.

I agree with this.
I enjoyed the 7 days of funk project but as you say the production did seem a little generic and lacked that quality mixing and definition and came off feeling cold/lacking that soul
The production on this Bush project so far is simple, very funky, warm and organic and sonically more superior.
In the same way the Still D.R.E was a very basic drum beat beat, keys and bassline, but sonically crisp & superior that it filled the empty space.

'Snoop Dogg's new album BUSH will be available May 12 and is entirely produced by multiple Grammy award winner Pharrell Williams, who also appears in the new video.  The album is a creative partnership between Doggystyle Records, I Am OTHER and Columbia Records.

The adventurous new video for "So Many Pros," was helmed by noted director Francois Rousselet who has worked with Kanye West and Jack White, among others, and is produced by DIVISION Paris.  Rousselet had a clear vision for the music video, which features Snoop transformed via multiple film posters into a larger-than-life presence, donning various leading-man guises of Hollywood's highly influential Blaxploitation movie genre. "I wanted to depict Snoop Dogg as a black James Bond, and film him in scenes inspired by the Blaxploitation era," stated Rousselet.  "The video is a total homage to this period, which was one of the richest in terms of graphic design.  Only Snoop Dogg could embody such great characters through a series of posters that depict and pay tribute to one of the most iconic chapters of Hollywood history."  Felicia 'Snoop' Pearson from HBO's classic crime drama The Wire also appears in the music video.
 
Other collaborators contributing to the legendary musician's Columbia Records debut album include Charlie Wilson, Kendrick Lamar, Rick Ross, Stevie Wonder, and T.I.'

ugh, Rick Ross. i was thinking of buying this too...

that would be where it crosses over into disco territory. personally i love it, from chic to quincy jones, all that stuff. it's funky, soulful and sounds great. i find dam funk a bit bland for the most part, he does more of an electro-bass sound with less instrumentation. these tracks are laced with some great guitars that really bring out the funk, much more stank appeal

Nelly is credited as a writer, I'm guessing he wrote some of the hook....sounds nelly-ish to me

Bingo. You're 100% right. Too many people stuck in the past & wanna bring '93 back. I know a lot of you on here are not from the west so maybe you don't understand that times have changed out here. Snoop has grown and his real audience should too. You want the Doggystyle sound, go back & buy Doggystyle but wake up from this wet dream that he's ever gonna revisit that style again. Been there, done that. He's a grandfather is his mid forties. He wants to make more grown up, feel good type music (which is closer to the vibe he's living in real life) and in my opinion, no other producer in this game right now can provide that better than the 1st (& I think only) one to give him a #1 single and that's Pharrell. He's shooting for a Grammy with this album so if you a real fan, respect that. No one wants to hear Snoop's old ass rapping on some Murder Was The Case pt. 2 shit. It's enough young rappers out here in California on that G shit of that's what you prefer. I for one think this album is gonna be hot and I'll have it the first day it drops. I always wanted him to have Pharrell produce a whole Snoop album.

this track was originally actually meant to be a single for Timbaland's delayed (and now scrapped) 'Shock Value 3'. they even shot a video and it featured Justin Timberlake instead of Uncle Charlie. i much prefer the sound of the Snoop version...

"There is also an all-star cast of guests, including Stevie Wonder, Bootsy Collins, Gwen Stefani, Charlie Wilson and Kendrick Lamar. Stevie Wonder guests on one of the stand-out tracks – “California Roll”. “Listening to the song after I laid my vocals, and after Pharrell’s vocals was laid, I was saying: ‘Man, P, we need to get someone else on this thing. We need to get Stevie Wonder…” explains Snoop. “P was like: ‘Can you get him?’ I said: ‘Sure. Hold on.’ I called him up. Two hours later Stevie Wonder pulled up outside the studio.”
