Snoop Dogg has claimed he only managed to get big names like Gwen Stefani and Stevie Wonderon his album because Pharrell produced it.
The 43-year-old rapper says having the ‘Happy’ singer produce his upcoming album, Bush meant it was easy to get an all-star list of collaborators.
Snoop said: ‘When we ask for favours, we’re so loved and appreciated that it’s hard to say no to Snoop and Pharrell. You can say no to Snoop, you know what I’m saying, then when we got Pharrell, you can’t say no to both of them.’
Snoop and Pharrell had previously worked together on 2004 hit, ‘Drop It Like It’s Hot’, which became Snoop’s first US number one. Once the 42-year-old former N*E*R*D frontman started recording onBush, Snoop said it ‘only made sense’ that he produced the entire album as he loved the way the two challenged each other.
Speaking to The Observer Magazine, Snoop said: ‘When I work with Pharrell he allows me to be me, but he also gives me great direction on which is the best for me. He loves to critique me, and he loves to take criticisms. It makes it challenging in the studio – and I like to be challenged.
‘When we worked on ‘Drop It Like It’s Hot’, when I did my second verse, he was like: That ain’t dope enough – you need to go back in. And I came back with another verse that helped it become one of my biggest records.’

It's been 25 years since Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait

A quarter century ago, after Saddam Hussein's Iraqi army successfully invaded and took over the tiny Persian Gulf nation of Kuwait, President George H.W. Bush famously drew a line in the sand against Iraqi aggression. While the United States and its allies easily ejected Iraq from Kuwait within seven months of the Aug. 2, 1990, invasion, Bush's line has continued onward in an almost Biblical fashion, accompanied by plenty of pre-modern horrors. The Gulf War begat the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which begat the US invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, which begat ISIS, which begat a potential future war with Iran or Syria or even what remains of Iraq.
