Snoop Lion
(formerly snoop Dogg) is trying to prove that he is “Reincarnated”
by not firing back at his latest critics about his Rastafarian ideology.
In an interview with the Express Night Out, the “Lion” address his most notable septic, Reggae pioneer
Bunny Wailer who bestowed the name “Lion” to the 41 year old Snoop. However, Wailer
is now questioning Snoop intentions and commitment.
When Snoop Lion
was asked about his thoughts on Wailer’s
skepticism he said;
“If I was Snoop Dogg: “(Expletive)
Bunny Wailer.” But I’m Snoop Lion right now, so I’m Chilling.”
When asked “How does Rastafarianism fit in there for you? Do you
feel like you converted?
I feel like I’m a part of it. I
feel like I’m a part of anything that’s positive, that’s loving. And Rastafarian
is so connected to who I am that I feel like I’m a part of it. Because it is
me. It is what I am. And through the spirit of it, you want to learn more about
it. ... I’m just learning. So it’s all brand new to me.
Snoop Lion
is set to release his first reggae album “Reincarnated”
(due April 23), and an accompanying documentary (out in limited release) that
tracks his trip to Jamaica and exploration of Rasta culture. Produced by Major
Lazer — which includes DJ/producer Diplo — the album features guests including Chris
Brown, Drake and Jamaica’s Mr. Vegas and Mavado.
Snoop
made reference about his goal of the album
It’s a goal to have songs that
represent who I am today. A lot of the songs I got represent who I was, not who
I am. It is my music. I love it. It’s my baby. So I’m not going to ever
denounce it. It’s just that it’d be nice to have a song about peace and love
and happiness and about what’s going on in the world and about addressing some
real issues, when that’s what’s important right now. As opposed to just partying
all the time and having a good time. That’s not what I’m on.
