Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg might be bumpin’ again, but “The Wash” is often washed out.

Dre and Snoop’s umpteenth collaboration provides the straight West Coast stuff that fans expect from the rap veterans who steer the nation’s gangsta direction.

But the biggest flaw on “The Wash” is it leaves listeners wondering why Snoop and Dre only teamed up on two tracks. Those tracks, “On The Blvd.” and “The Wash” are the undisputed champions of the disc.

The album billed as a Dre and Snoop disc turns out to contain just a drop of Dre and Snoop and a lot of friends. Hip-hop heavy weights Busta Rhymes, Bubba Sparxxx, D12 and Xzibit also contribute.

Busta Rhymes’ “Holla” is a strong follow-up. D12 isn’t at its best on “Blow My Buzz.”

The disc takes a turn for the terrible on Sparxxx’s “Bubba Talk.” Sparxxx should have done everyone a favor by sitting this album out, as he seems to struggle to spit out each word. Most of the song isn’t understandable and the lyrics are lame. The song seems out of place on an album that should be founded on smooth West Coast flow.

In addition to the well-known rappers that appear on “The Wash,” a collection of lesser known hip-hopsters such as Joe Beast, Knoc-Turn’al, Toi and Daks contribute.

In Dre’s attempt to find a diamond, he stretches the album to 17 tracks. Knoc-Turn’al is the only bright spot in the mix of unknowns, but only because he joins Dre on “Bad Intentions” - one of the albums best tracks.

Even Dre’s bump-thump-bump beats can’t save these guys from bringing the disc down.
