Not only has Snoop Dogg changed his name to Snoop Lion, but he’s also
announced that he will no longer be making new Hip Hop music.
The 40-year-old icon solidified his new musical direction
at a press conference on Monday, where he announced a documentary to
accompany his forthcoming album: Reincarnated. The feature-length film
of the same name, which profiles his journey to Jamaica and resulting
spiritual and artistic transformation, will premiere at the Toronto
International Film Festival in September.
To devoted hip-hop fans, the switch is a confusing break from a proud
West Coast tradition. Lucky for skeptics (and subsequently ticket
sales) the veteran rapper is keeping his two creative identities
commendably separate.
If his latest festival appearance is any indication, Snoop is willing
to give fans what they want: just the old school hits, nothing more.
The new-found reggae artist passed at the chance to play his
patois-inflected single La La La on Sunday, and instead dispensed
nuggets of hip-hop trivia from his early years in the business.Pretty obvious why Snoop Dogg changed to Snoop Lion. The lion is the
symbol of the Israelite tribe of Judah from which Jesus and King David
descended. Also Philippians 3v2 says to look out for the dogs, look out
for the evil workers. I am thinking Snoop did not want a name associated
with evil workers. God bless the new creature Snoop.
