Snoop Dogg wants you to know that he's tired of hip-hop, is Bob Marley reincarnated and is embracing reggae instead of the culture of guns he once rapped about.
Also, he's got a new name: Snoop Lion.
The artist said at a news conference Monday in New York that he was "born again" during a visit to Jamaica in February and is ready to make music that his "kids and grandparents can listen to."
The former gangster rapper is releasing a reggae album called "Reincarnated" in the fall. He said that in Jamaica, he connected with Bob Marley's spirit and is now "Bob Marley reincarnated.""As a 40-year-old man ... I've got to give them something," he said. "That's what you do when you're wise."
Snoop Dogg said he's not completely retiring from hip-hop but is "tired" of the genre because it is no longer challenging.
"Reggae was calling ... it's a breath of fresh air," he said. "Rap isn't challenging; it's not appealing."
I hope steve jobs doesn't sue him. Oh wait....
He hasn't had anything good since the early 90's tbh
I listened to that one song he was promoting. It was meh. Sounded fake. Just leave it up to Marley's sons Snoop.
Oh boy, as a fellow LBCer and whatnot, this name change is not cool. Just ease into rapper retirement, Snoop.
I haven't been this excited since Sean something or other went from puff daddy to diddly to has been....
Sean Combs a has been? That mutha is making more money now than he ever did.
A lot of idiots make money -- that has nothing to do with talent.
not true. R&G was a dope album.
You got to be kidding me. From college drop out to a mogul? Give props where it's due.
Absolutely- he knows how to make money and he should receive props...
But that is different than musical talent.
He is a talented businessman or money-maker though.
I'm sure he produced songs that you bobbed your head to though. His songs lasted for awhile on to of the billboards.
umm...not songs that he originally wrote...the stuff that might of hit was some cover or a sample rip-off IMO
I agree with that. That's why I was always a puff hater when he was popular and I'm still kinda am. Lately he's been warming up to me with his tv shows and movie appearances though.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot- he wasn't too bad as a death row convict in Monsters Ball.
DJ Premier and Kanye West built their style on samples and are deemed musical genuises by their peers. Puff still has talent, musically but he thrives as a businessman first.
Don't even get me started on that Kanye is a musical genius bull .... ...
What a in' sellout. you Snoop.
Relax, he's still high from his trip.
Snoop once said he'd give up weed. Didn't last more than a few days.
Blue Carpet Treatment was better, imo
"what me say wit me un sung boy, dont spa wit me re-dont spa rittah"
*sung in a Jamaican voice*
that was a good album too. Vato use to bang in the trunk.
I prefer R&G because for one it has sentimental value and snoop+ the neptunes= good music.
i pride myself on buying every snoop album that comes out but after Ego Trippin' I was done.
I thought you were doing your best Rihanna impression.
