Snoop Dogg's theatrical video for "So Many Pros" off the Bush album has been released. The new Blaxploitation-era themed video comes just after the audio release of the funky track, produced by Pharrell Williams and featuring Charlie Wilson.
The "So Many Pros" video kicks off with the unzipping of a blue metallic jacket that exposes a bare chest with words "Snoop Dogg So Many Pros" written in white. The video takes on the '70s Blaxploitation era of film, with Snoop Dogg as the star. The video, filled with movie posters inspired by the 1970s, warns viewers that it's "Rated B" with a "B" in bold and statement "Follow the Bush" underneath.
The Williams produced and Wilson featured song gives fans a soulful and laid back vibe. According to HotNewHiphop, Francois Rousselet, who has directed videos for Kanye West and Jack White, directed the "So Many Pros" video.
In light of his '70s theme video, the rapper once declared that he attributes his success to having been born in that decade. In a past interview with Rolling Stone, the Bush rapper revealed why being a Seventies baby is advantageous. "Any rapper who come from the Seventies got a little bit more flavor than the Eighties babies," Snoop Dogg said. "The music we listened to as a kid gave us more melody. The Eighties was about a gold chain, a jheri curl--it wasn't about flavor. Everything in the Seventies was flavor: the basketball players, Redd Foxx, Al Green, Soul Train."
Snoop Dogg also dished on his contribution to Dr. Dre's 1992 hit, "Deep Cover." Although that may have been a noteworthy point in his music career, the rapper explained that he had star quality prior to that track. "It's like I was a star in my own right," he told Rolling Stone. "I just didn't have no cameras, no money. Whether it was for my rappin', my baggin' on a n---a, my persona getting at b---hes, bein' a gangster, hanging with the Insanes, bangin' 20 Crip, I was always known no matter where I was."
