Snoop Dogg Now Snoop Lion and Making Reggae

[m0rtal]

Heard this on the radio today and I though this shit was a joke...

Snoop Dogg changes name to Snoop Lion, readies reggae CD | CTVNews

tl;dr

- Snoop Dogg Goes to Jamaica and is "born again"

- While there "he connected with Bob Marley's spirit and is now "Bob Marley reincarnated."

- Changes name to "Snoop Lion"

- Working on a reggae album

Read this earlier, quite funny
cliffs: irrelevant in rap, so resorts trying to re-invent himself with reggae.

If you wrapped Bob Marleys corpse in wire and put magnets on the sides of his casket the spinning in his grave could power Jamaica for free forever.

It reminds me of when Michael Jordan tried to play baseball.

Snoop has to change his style, too, because if he were to try to do 'spiritual' hip-hop, people are gonna buy it just because it's Snoop. He wants the music to stand on its own merits, and he wants to feel like he did back when he was trying to break into hip-hop.

He hasn't had that for a long time, and that's why the last few years, he put in a lot of time helping new rappers break into hip-hop. Trying to live that experience again through others. But now, that's not a challenge for him anymore.

Here's him talking about a few years ago :

Jamaica has a weird influence on musicians. I think Willie Nelson even made a reggae album after visiting.

Well, I was really hoping it would somehow actually be good, but it's not simply because he sounds so fake.

So that's why 2pac was shot.

This is not reggae. it might sound like reggae, but it's very cheap knockoff. Fuck Snoop Lion.

pathetic

Makes you wonder if he did this so he can smoke out and claim its for religious reasons.

Edit: You can listen to his new song at http://rapfix.mtv.com/2012/07/25/snoop-dogg-releases-first-single-la-la-la-from-reggae-album/ since the youtube vids are getting killed.

Personally I don't think he has the voice for reggae.
