good lord!

Before we knew him as Snoop Dogg, the superstar, young Calvin Broadus was Dr. Dre?s young gun rapping on the unforgettable ?Deep Cover.? Snoop has since crafted a hell of a career for himself and as he takes his next step as reggae artist Snoop Lion, one can?t help but think, what does Dre think?

On Monday, Snoop gathered friends, family and media folks to announce his new project, produced by Diplo and Major Lazer, and he also spoke at length about his evolution from a murderous MC to the more enlightened Snoop Lion. Gone are songs like "Murder Was the Case"; now Snoop is bringing peace with "No Guns Allowed." It's a different Snoop than the world is used to seeing, and even longtime friend and mentor Dr. Dredidn't know what to think at first.

"He would see me come to rehearsals with all of my Rastafari, my gear, my hair, my look. He was just peeping me out, and I let him know I was doing a reggae project and working on the album and whatnot, but he didn't really understand it until 'La La La' came out," Snoop told MTV News.

"La La La," the first single from Reincarnated, which Snoop released July 20, marked a new chapter in his musical career, though he has always infused reggae lingo in tracks like the 1992 Dr. Dre track "The Day the N---az Took Over" and his 1993 album cut "Pump Pump."

During Monday's press conference, Snoop admitted he got tired of rap and wanted to try something different. It was that yearning that led him to Jamaica, where he recorded the new LP after he got a blessing from Bob Marley's family, of course. "Now he understands that I'm fully with it and I'm all in it to win it," Snoop said of Dre. "So he gets it, and I got his support. He just didn't understand it because I didn't explain it to him. I wasn't tryna keep it a secret; it just wasn't time to unveil until now."

Weed must be really strong in Jamaica or his was laced with something...

Rasta Snoop

v4 media · 08-01-2012, 08:31 AM

The songs not bad, got a nice 70's dub feel. but his singing aint up to much. he needs to become a dub master.

eroticsexxx · 08-01-2012, 01:49 PM

I lol'd the first time I heard about his switch to reggae as well.

The truth of the matter is that Snoop can make it work.

The first single grows on ya after a while, but I seriously hope that he goes back into a more lyrical style.

The comments on that vid tell the tale.

Didn't expect Major Lazer to be co-producing, especially since Snoop seems to want to do the conscious vibe thing.

I like Snoop Dogg, but his reggae sucks, hopefully it will improve.
Current dancehall/reggae scene has its Names and it will be tough to reach the level of these guys from the current standard.

Let's take a look how Bounty Killer works:

Sizzla is probably the biggest dancehall Icon:

Junior Kelly:

Junior Kelly again:

Jah Mason:

IDK what the hell he is thinking.. SMH

AsianDivaGirlsWebDude · 08-02-2012, 10:27 AM

I like Snoop Dogg...I need to hear more before I form a definite opinion about Snoop Lion.

The first song is constructed well enough, but needs a better hook/melody to standalone as a hit single. At best, La-La-La will get airplay as a novelty song, since as a reggae tune it doesn't stand apart, and certainly not above, reggae songs recorded 20+ years ago.

who's that lioness?

he's married

SkinBoysCash · 08-02-2012, 11:42 AM

Got to give him props for taking such a risk after everything he's built to reinvent himself as such.

People laugh now, but if he pulls it off, within a few years, people will suddenly forget about the laughs and praise him again.

Think of Fleetwood Mac how they went from an Aggressive Blues Band to one of the Biggest Rock Band of the 70's

MattPIVO · 08-02-2012, 11:42 AM

I don't think this is a very good idea for him. Don't think it makes sense

Brilliant marketing decision, what with the current growing support for decriminalizing marijuana and the overall "protest" subculture. Rap stars are being shown to be part of the mainstream, and just as money-hungry as any other celebrity who works for "the man." Snoop is distancing himself from that even more clearly with this new persona. Kudos for reading the trend, Mr. Snoop.
