*Snoop Dogg has decided to finally evolve, but into the unexpected type of artist.
The Long Beach native is turning in his gun slinging lyrics to embrace the love and harmony of reggae.
On Monday at a news conference in New York, he said he was “born again” during a visit to Jamaica earlier this year and now he’s going to make music the whole family can listen to.
He’s calling himself “Bob Marley reincarnated.”

Bob Marley’s son Rohan attended the conference and gave Snoop his blessing.
“I feel like I’ve always been Rastafarian,” Snoop said of the spiritual Jamaican movement, adding that his new name that was bestowed upon him is Snoop Lion.
Just in case anyone doubted the change, he played a few new songs that emanate positivity, including “No Guns Allowed.”
The Snoop Lion song features his daughter.
“It’s so tragic that people are doing stupid things with guns,” he said of the song.
His visit to the small island was definitely monumental in his life. He admitted he and his lovely wife grew closer together and received the revelation to change for the sake of growth and progress.
“Reggae was calling … it’s a breath of fresh air,” he said. “Rap isn’t challenging; it’s not appealing.”
he’s going bald. we can expect to see his head covered more often
Snoop isn’t going bald WHATSOEVER. Have you seen the trailer to that documentary?
I’m a big Snoop fan. This is weird. LOL! I’m just glad he is happy and is doing
what is making him happy. He’s been in the business for over 20 years and it’s
cool to see him try a different lane.
this corny assed M-F!!, he’s finally worked up an excuse to let all his fans (not me) that he wants to smoke dope (good stuff at that), knock-up women, for the rest of his life. And his wife (sigh) is going along with it. I gess it’s cheaper to keep HIM.! ! !
