[URL="http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/snoopdogg"]Snoop Dogg[/URL] is dead! Long live Snoop Lion!
The rumors are true! Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr – aka Snoop Doggy Dogg aka the [URL="http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/rap"]rap[/URL] legend behind hits like Still A G Thang and Gin n Juice – is no more. Broadus told journalists on Tuesday that he's officially dropped the Dogg act and upgraded his name to "Snoop Lion"
In all seriousness, Snoop says his decision is for real. The rapper says he underwent a spiritual and artistic rebirth while in [URL="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/jamaica"]Jamaica[/URL] where he's been working on his next album. Rastafarian priests reportedly inspired the name change.
"I went to the temple, where the high priest asked me what my name was, and I said, 'Snoop Dogg'," he told journalists on Tuesday. "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."
Snoop is hardly the first musician to find religion or change his name mid-career, but unlike P Diddy or Cat Stevens, Snoop is also switching genres. Calling rap "no longer a challenge" Snoop says he'll devote the rest of his career to [URL="http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/reggae"]reggae[/URL], beginning with his appropriately titled next album "Reincarnation".
"With no disrespect to other rappers, but they can't fuck with me in rap. … I've won every accolade you can get in rap, they call me 'Uncle Snoop' in rap. When you're an uncle, it's time to find something new. … I want to feel like a kid again."

epitome of sensationalist title

That fucking title man
"Snoop Lion" Doesnt sound good at all,
That isn't funny, Don't even joke like that. Nothing can kill this immortal king.
At first I saw the title and I was all like "NOOOOO SNOOP!!" and then I took a handful of pills and now I read the OP and oh fuck I hate you OP you killed me with your stupid title

Also, this thread already exists, sans stupid title.

ha
I wouldn't have minded the sensationalist title if you weren't late.
I expected badage boys or some crap.
I find Snoop Dog a better name than Snoop Lion
Worse than that time I accidentally wrote "The president is dead" for my title.
OP is a faggot
On the upside, that title made me realize just how much I appreciate Snoop being here.
Can't wait to hear his new music.
This proves cats are better than dogs. He went from a dog to a cat.
OP might be the only one laughing.
i almost threw up on my keyboard why op
Rate agree if OP should be banned for that thread title.
OP should be thrown in jail with that Tom Daley tweet guy
OP deserves no toilet paper for the rest of his life.
Don't fuck with me like that.
