Snoop Dogg Now a “Snoop Lion”

The pot smoking felon Snoop Dogg went to Jamaica to smoke more weed and while he was there, he had some kind of “spiritual” awakening. Rastafarian priests told him he was no longer a dog, but was now a lion. Even more hilarious? Next album will be reggae. Ha!

From News.Com here:

SNOOP Dogg has officially dropped the Dogg act and upgraded his name to “Snoop Lion”. The rapper says he underwent a spiritual and artistic rebirth while in Jamaica where he was given the new moniker by Rastafarian priests.

“I didn’t know that until I went to the temple, where the High Priest asked me what my name was, and I said, ‘Snoop Dogg.’ And he looked me in my eyes and said, ‘No more. You are the light; you are the lion.’ From that moment on, it’s like I had started to understand why I was there.”

The 40-year-old said as a result of his reincarnation, his new album will be a reggae record as he finds rap no longer “a challenge.”

“I have always said I was Bob Marley reincarnated. I feel I have always been a Rastafari. I just didn’t have my third eye open, but its wide open right now.”

Calvin Broadus is an egotistical bastard, isn’t he? I wonder if, as a reborn rastafarian, will he still brawl in airports? And how the hell can you be the reincarnation of someone who was alive at the same time as you? Marley died in ’81. Broadus was born in ’72. But I guess spiritualism of potheads don’t take math into account.
