    There isn’t anything outright offensive to the senses, but if you are a bit of curmudgeon Bush might strike you as a little corny.

    It's a quick listen, clocking in at less than 45 minutes, and the 10 tracks are laid-back--perhaps too much.

    For the most part, Bush is another re-hashed and tweaked Snoop album. It is expanding into new territory, but delivering the same result.

    As tame as Bush’s formula is, there are times when it works.

    William's slick pop-R&B effectively smothers Snoop's signature drawl. [Jul 2015, p.113]

    All of the things that made Snoop Snoop--his effortless, laconic flow, clever wordplay, and narrative skills--are almost completely absent.

    Solid effort from the big boss dogg! Great production from Pharrell gives it a unique sound that bends the hip hop genre in ways that we haveSolid effort from the big boss dogg! Great production from Pharrell gives it a unique sound that bends the hip hop genre in ways that we have never seen. Only knocks are that the sound/content stays pretty much the same all the way through and though his credentials as an MC are untouchable, he can't really sing too well. Nonetheless, there is great vibe to the music, and considering that this is the same dude that came in the game as a gangsta rapper, the fact that he barely rapped on this project at all and it is still enjoyable marks a great example of artist growth.… Full Review »

Yes, Snoop got lazy and so did Pharell. But that doesn't mean the songs are bad. They're all extremely listenable. There are plenty of great funk influences to be found hidden amongst Pharell's layered production. Snoop flows through each track like a puff of smoke, and some of the features are particularly good. I wish they did more with Stevie Wonder, but what he did do was ground "California Roll" in an element of soul. Personal favourite on here has to be "This City" - the lyrics aren't out-of-this-world but the instrumental is by far the best you'll find on the entire album.… Full Review »
