Snoop Dogg Changes His Name to Snoop Lion

[Big Pimpin]

Snoop Dogg has renamed himself after he says he underwent a spiritual and artistic rebirth in Jamaica.

While recording his album Reincarnated in the Caribbean country, he developed a traditional reggae style. The result is a three-part project: a reggae album, documentary and coffee-table photo book, all under the name of Snoop Lion.

"I have always said I was Bob Marley reincarnated," Snoop, 40, told reporters at a news conference, according to The New York Times. "I have always been a Rastafari." (Marley's son, Rohan, gave his blessing at the news conference, which was held at Miss Lily's, a Caribbean eatery in New York.)

So will Snoop (real name: Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr.) turn his back on rap completely? Not likely. "I could never become Snoop Lion," he says, "if I wasn't Snoop Dogg first."

Too bad Bob Marley died in 1981 and snoop was born in 1971. It's comical when rappers think they are musicians or have any skill or talent musically whatsoever. Bob Marley was a musician snoop's a hood rat.

This is as stupid as Garth Brooks calling himself Chris Gaines or whatever the fuck it was.

Snoopy is Charlie Brown's dog. So Snoop Dogg always made sense to me, but Snoop Lion? Wtf?

 

[charley]

Jamaican's smoke more 'WEED' than rappers...makes perfect sense to me...and maybe a little mid-life crises mixed in.... [420 friendly]

Apparently snoop was too busy in elementary school hustling and fucking bitches to learn some simple math.....

Well...It did wonders for yusuf islam's career... aka Cat stevens.

But This is gayer than when prince changed his name to that symbol thing. (not merlin btw, im talking about the artist formally known as)

Snoop has more money than the pope. If no one buys another album, he'd still be rolling around in his money like scrooge mcduck.

STFU and GTFO. Prostitues make good money also, but get no respects from me. Because of money the whole artform is being lost and music is becoming shit now a days. Money fucks everything up, from boxing to music.

[IronAddict]

Personally, I don't think this guy's going to be able to pull this off.

I mean, okay, he smokes about as much indo as I do...but I'm no reggae singer/musician and neither is he!

 

[Arnold]

I like Snoop Dogg but I really don't give a shit what he wants to call himself now.

Snoop Dogg now wants to be known as Snoop Lion, after a trip to Jamaica where he was "born again." The rapper admits he's tired of hip-hop, and is releasing a reggae album, "Reincarnated," to be followed by a documentary of the same name. (Aug.1)

More Snoop...

Finally, a Real 'Dogg' on 'Idol?'

If Randy Jackson says 'what up, dawg?' next season on 'American Idol,' he could be talking to Snoop Dogg, if the rapper has his way. (Aug. 2)

Snoop lion? Sounds kinda niggerish. Even more niggerish than snoop dog.

This is fucking blasphemy! There is only one Bob Marley, and none of his sons even live up to his legend, let alone some AIDs infected, bug eyed faggot like Snoop

[heckler7]

I like some of Damien Marley's stuff, I bet Snoops new sound is the same. There will only ever be one Bob Marley.

Werd. Junior gong comes close, but there will never be another Bob.

Back in the early days Bob was a rude boy, ran with a bad crowd that would put most of these modern day fag ganstas to shame
