Snoop is no novelty or gimmick. He is serious and fun and head and shoulders above his musical mates. BUSH proves it!

Snoop back to doing what he does best: sleazin’ and steezin’ over sunny-side-up beats, slipping his name into as many refrains as possible, and celebrating being baked

Snoop is singing more than ever – he puts the ratio to rapping at 70:30 – but this just accentuates the melodic qualities inherent in his music

One party starter after another rolls out, all of them singalong-worthy with Snoop's stingers and punch lines making him the undisputed Doggfather

Bush is another consistent release from Snoop to add to his portfolio, with enough freshness to still be spinning his name in the clubs

It’s luscious on the ears, cleverly put together and terrifically good fun, but it feels off the pace

When it is at its best, the record thrives on the combination of Pharrell’s accomplished production and the veteran rapper’s distinctive vocals

Disco meets Parliament, and it is smoother than Malboro Lights mixed with double cream

Bush came about a decade too late. Much like Snoop, the album is immensely likeable – just a little half-baked

Bush is designed to function as an old funk record that you can let run for an entire party’s duration, but its uniformity might make it less appealing over the long haul

There’s nothing necessarily wrong with an artist just wanting to sit back and have a little fun, but this was Snoop’s (and Pharrell’s, let’s be honest) chance to retake the hip-hop crown

There’s a serene bounce to the thing and there are fun exchanges with Gwen Stefani and Charlie Wilson but it’s rarely inspired

Although it’s well-intentioned, you’re very aware that the only reason you’re at this party is because Snoop invited you

It’s competent disco-inflected pop – sure – but Snoop is phoning it in. He’s nearly anonymous

There’s nothing slapdash about the execution, with Pharrell Williams helming the production and appearances from Stevie Wonder and Gwen Stefani. But the transformation falls flat
