Snoop Dogg

Bush

(RCA)

Snoop Dogg is on a mission to show you can teach an old dog new tricks. In recent years the maestro of west coast gangsta rap has reinvented himself as a reality television star, a Rastafarian and now, on Bush, a psychedelic funk adventurer in the tradition of George Clinton.

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.

Pharrell crafts a slick, unctuous groove, impeccably detailed yet lifeless, while Snoop sings in a bland murmur, a colourless approximation of his laid-back rapping style.
