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.

crazy how times have changed around here. Cant believe im the first one to post on this, but anyway thank you for sharing. Decent video but I feel the song more
-
What a load of shit.
-
LMFAO. Why do they still let him in a studio?
-
brilliant production on the instrumental 8)
again i'm not feeling snoop's vocal part so much.
looks like the LP is produced by pharrell & chad aka The Neptunes 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
-
production is good
snoop is garbage would have been better with rappers that can actually rap
-
good beat!wack song! I dont like snoop part but its differnt strokes for different folks. somebody else might like this type of music.
-
fuck that soft pussy ass comercial funk shit ! he forgot about the G ...
what happend to doggystyle part2 ???
first snoop lion now this pop shit ! snoop get yo shit together and stop sellin out
-
smh this sucks
-
lol @ u all here thinking snoop will ever do gangsta records again not happening again folks
-
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
album should be good
-
good beat..like every1 said, shoulda been rappin instead of singin. again, nowhere near as good as the stuff on the 7 days of funk project.
-
would dance to it after 8 to 10 drinks. :banana_rock:
-
just never felt the Pharel stuff... not that it doesn't sound good, but it lacks that realness and replay value. Ain't no way I am bumpin a Pharel track in my headphones on my own time
-
ok, at the first listen i was sceptical about snoops vocals..but now i got this shit in rotation for the last two hours :laugh:
good shit!
-
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.
-
Im guessing "Pros" are the censured version instead of Hoes?

And the winner is...
Snoop Dogg still in his pimp fantasy dreams i always prefered the real (Suga Free) to the wanna be , i'm just sayin'
garbage funky radio friendly tune

it's hella funky, the instrumental is superb. and not just an average funky tune, it's great sound from pharrell.
looking forward to the LP...

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.
-
just never felt the Pharel stuff... not that it doesn't sound good, but it lacks that realness and replay value. Ain't no way I am bumpin a Pharel track in my headphones on my own time
Snoop did some of his best work in the past 10-15 years with Pharell IMO...not quite sure about the new stuff yet but I'll give it a chance
-
Mark my words
By just 10 Songs on the Album
Will be Four fillers 2 so Lala Songs and 4 bangers
And Dont get me wrong im a fan
I Hope he Not switching his style again
Just different producers
Cause i think battlecat ,terrace Martin ,quik and the List goes on
Can produce this Funk stuff also
I Hope snoop is a trendsetter and all the other rappers Jump on this bandwaggon
Preach 🎶🎼🎶🎼

but the barebone shit is what funk is made of, the slickness gives it more of a pop sound

to me this shit just sounds like theyre trying too hard to basically imitate another type of music. i thought the same about the reggae album. it almost seems like a joke

'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...
-
I'm actually digging this.

but the barebone shit is what funk is made of, the slickness gives it more of a pop sound
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
-
Some of the hook.samples a.nelly song

since many years snoop music is low :( with pharell in production not good again. its just a commercial music :-\
the real snoop miss me you know
-
100% sure that if it was credited as a Quik produced song, you guys would be jacking all over this.

naah, most peeps would be sayin snoop ruined a quik beat with his autotune bs

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.”
