Snoop & Robyn, round two
Back in January we posted the “Sexual Seduction” remix by Fyre Department where Robyn teamed up with Snoop Dogg. Now, the lanky Long beach rapper returns the favor and drops a verse on the track “Bum Like You” (taken from the international edition of Robyns latest album “Robyn”). Maybe not quite as stunning as the first collabo but it’s still a catchy and sweet electropop ditty. (Thanks to Winnie Cooper)

[...] “You could be my dog,” sings Robyn on “Bum Like You“, originally from her self-titled 2005 album. Better make that D-O-double-G: Snoop Dogg, who shared a “Sexual Eruption” with the Swedish pop dynamo in a Fyre Department remix early this year, comes back for more with his new verse for “Bum Like You”. The original track moves closer to “Drop It Like It’s Hot”-style electronics-driven hip-hop on the 2008 U.S. release of Robyn, anyway, trading the first version’s big-hearted guitar strums for zipping synths and trunk-ready bass. Snoop’s serviceable if unspectacular rhymes here are the finishing touch: “I talk bad about you but I can’t leave it alone.” I still prefer the 2005 edition of “Bum Like You”, and nothing here quite matches Robyn singing to Snoop about how she wants to “stroke my pup,” but it’s great to hear Robyn getting some attention from the rappers she grew up idolizing. Konichiwa, Snoop. (via Discobelle) [...]

Still cannot figure out what all the hype ’bout Robyn is.
