Snoop Took a Trip. It Wasn't a Good One

[StormInateacup]

Snoop Dog...aka Snoop Doggy Dog...aka Snoop LION (Yes...that's his new name) went to Jamaica.

He came back - apparently reincarnated as Bob Marley (I shit you not - that's what he said)

And has released a Reggae single...maybe an album....who knows.





It's not pretty.





I love Snoop. I truly do. But yanno........

[StormInateacup]

Oh yes there's an album.



And a very fetching crocheted hat.

He is shrewd businessman who knows how to grab headlines and "Snoop Lion" is a great headline.
Everyone is now talking about his transformation and, more importantly, his new album, Reincarnated.
Snoop is leaping into the unknown; Reincarnated is an all-reggae album, which will have his fan base scratching their heads.
The press conference was Snoop's flamboyant way of telling them, "Don't be scared, reggae won't bite", but it also allowed him to reach out to new fans.
Telling the world that he was casting aside rap and its gun culture and now doing the sort of music that his family and children can listen to plays well with K-Mart and other Middle America stores.

Now as I said I love Snoop - and I love Reggae...but Snoop's Reggae?? I am not sure it works for me.

I hope the rest of the album is better than that single up there.

Don't like Snoop,his rap is what I call arrogance rap,it seems to be about how he's badder,better,richer,sexier etc than other rappers.

Self aggrandizing shite.

He does know that he didn't have to change his musical genre from rap to reggae just because he wanted to make songs his kids could listen to, right? It is possible to rap about other things than gangs and guns.

From listening to that...song....his voice is just not cut out for reggae.

Damn, what is he smoking now?
