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?

If you wanna PM me, send it to my mrsunshinesprinkles account; this one is blorked.

I'm weirded out, but I can't say I'm displeased by this. I actually like some reggae.

[up] Same here. Still, it's pretty weird that Snoop Dogg Lion is changing after all this time.

That's actually new news to me.

I can't say that I care much, since I don't like either rap or reggae, but I have to agree that it's kinda weird.

People aren't as awful as the internet makes them out to be.

He's still performing as Dogg, you know. He'll be alternating between the 2.

Plus, while I did think the whole thing was a joke at first, it's kinda cool.

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.

Like TP said, Lion sounds like a weird choice of animal for reggae. And it doesn't quite roll off of the tongue, either.

Lion's a weird choice for any kind of music.

For 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.

Maybe, if he goes into different parts of Rap, he'll choose different dog derived stage names.

He should skip past all real-world animals and go with Snoop Unicorn.
