Snoop Dogg Reborn In Jamaica

2012-08-01 by andcas | 83 Comments
The famous West Coast rapper that went by the name Snoop
Dogg will now be referred to as Snoop Lion. The veteran
artist attended a New York conference to confirm the switch
brought on by a spiritual Jamaican trip. It was in the middle
of this odd awakening that he merged with Bob Marley’s spirit
and became the reggae legend reincarnated. The mysterious
change transpired in a temple where an Ethiopian moniker,
Berhane, was given to him and means, “light of the world."

Snoop expressed, “I feel like I've always been Rastafarian,”
as one of Marley’s sons nodded at his decision to flee gangster culture. He eventually took a
break from sharing his tale of enlightenment to perform five new songs. ‘No Guns Allowed,’
a rally against violence, was among the material he displayed featuring his daughter singing
alongside him. It was later revealed a coffee table book and documentary about the rebirth
will follow the aptly branded, Reincarnated.

The upcoming album, produced by DJ Diplo, has yet to receive a fall release date but boasts
being family oriented. “As a 40-year-old man I've got to give them something,” Snoop urged,
“That's what you do when you're wise.” The sudden transition in demeanor supposedly comes
from the need to escape since rap isn’t a big challenge anymore. In light of Snoop’s random
endeavors, only time will tell how long until he returns to the genre that made this superstar.

How long will it take him to realize rasta culture is too?

Hey Andcas, do you think will have to add the reggae record on his "band page" or make a new one for "Snoop Lion"

I'd prefer the 2nd idea because then it won't seem like all of his previous work would be considered "Reggae / Hip-Hop"

Basically he wants a change but not one which requires him to not be lean constantly.

First single was embarassing, album will be a faux-reggae/dancehall mess (like most of Diplo's output with Major Lazer, only worse/funnier because Snoop is involved)

Well the album is obviously to going to be shit, but at least he's doing something new with his career. And it's something he clearly is excited it about so I support it. I guess.

HAHAHAHA Oh shit, I am so sorry Snoop. I accidentely gave you our "Reincarnation" weed. That shit will change your life 4 realz. Good thing you didn't try that "Despair" or "Dismemberment" cause that would've made you want to be part of a Death Metal band. I swear, those two will put your dick in the dirt. Some strong shit. Anyways sorry bro. Tell Bob I said hello.

This is stupid. Lay off the drugs. Eventually that will catch up with you.
