Same here. Still, it's pretty weird that Snoop Dogg Lion is changing after all this time.
Lion's a weird choice.
I remember (vaguely, as I took an active disinterest in rap at the time) when he was Snoop Doggy Dog.
Fresh-eyed movie blogLike TP said, Lion sounds like a weird choice of animal for reggae. And it doesn't quite roll off of the tongue, either.

"Just wants a friend but had to give up his ding dong for it, tragic." - AngelLightStarFor some reason I find this really funny, but I can't really explain why. It's like some weird combination of mid-life crisis and marketing ploy, as if he's doing it as a marketing thing but he's legitimately sincere about it. The fact that his new reggae song starts out with the phrase "Jah... Rastafari" and mentions planting corn (what does that even mean?) makes it even more hilarious to me because of.... this
. I'm not a fan of Snoop Dogg, rap or reggae (other than The Lonely Island), though, so I can't comment on whether this is a good or bad thing. I guess the song is okay, but it hits on so many stereotypes that it becomes funny.

This is probably old news, but I'm sure that I'm not the only one fucking weirded out by the fact that the king of gangsta rap is giving up rap, changing his stage name, and switching to reggae right?
