OT: Snoop Dogg is now Snoop Lion
Read it and weep. Snoop Dogg has had a religious experience and has changed his name to Snoop Lion. Somehow Lionfather, Lionstyle, and the rest don't seem to flow as well...
On the bright side, he's probably just incredibly high and will realize his mistake when he comes off of it.

Don't forget shells for your shotgun. They are pretty useless without them.
That would be awesome to certain alums, including me
He's gonna try reggae now I'm guessing?
Yep, article confirms. Good luck to him.
Oh lordy.
*Checks calendar*
*Sees that it's NOT April 1st*
*proceeds to ask self, "WTF?"*
Seems like a natural progression for him.
You've got to be kitten me!
Really not feline the new name Snoop
Hopefully he can claw his way back to the top of the charts.
I think this will hurt his meowsic career.
Yeah, might turn out to be a bit of a catastrophe for him.
...ain't lion.
for my voltron stalker
refurbish his crib?
Pimp my Pride
Snoop is a litterary genius.
Wow, what a terrific audience...
I think he should paws to rethink the change
...he will still be the mane event no matter where he performs.
Hahaha. So funny. I'm not into rap at all (minus Public Enemy and a few others), but Snoop was always funny to me.
So, if you aren't into rap at all with a few exceptions, would you say that you are into rap a little?
Hah. I guess. It's Public Enemy, a few Dre songs, a few Tupac songs and that's it.
You must be a very happy guy. Hah.
Have you ever watched the actual entire Happy Days episode this was taken from? I did not long ago just to relish it's awesome awfullness and it didnt disapoint. There was absolutely nothing about the show that wasnt equally ridiculous (you have to look up WHY Fonzi was jumping the shark to really appreciate it) and the acting was beyond cheesey.
Check it out sometime. To get the full effect i highly recommend doing so under the influence of some brain altering substance.
I have watched that episode, however only once and a long time ago. I was an avid Nick at Nite watcher (back when they actually played quality, classic tv) and they strategically stayed away from showing too many Happy Days episodes that were made around and after the "Jump the Shark" episode.
I do absolutely love the cheesiness and campiness of that show, and although I don't think the episode is as bad as its current reputation, it truly was way over the top, even by Happy Days standards.
Anyways, I'll give that episode another shot, as I'm sure it probably is an amazing thing to watch whilst under some form of inebriation.
"I want to bury Snoop Dogg, and become Snoop Lion. 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."
Sounds like he took the ganja with him to see the priest
I bet male lion pee smells real bad. Like, shag carpet-and-sofa ruining bad.
Thanks, I’ll sleep better now knowing this.
I read the title and thought he was going to be rooting for the Detroit Lions.
You know things are bad when Snoop Dogg becomes a fan of your rap sheet.
What a fitting time to post that comment.
I don't know about the him being simply "high" comment. Many artists have had that...epiphany, I guess, and went on to embrace some aspects of rastafari (am I the only Jamaican on mgoblog? Eep).
Capleton, Spragga, Buju, Sizzla are some higher profile converts; they all previously made quite a few gun/violent songs. Beenie? Eh. They call him "Ras Paradox" for a reason.
Anyway, the "lion" moniker references the Lion of Judah, of course. You'll see the reference pop up quite a bit in dancehall; for example, when raising one's fist to acknowledge a tune, oftentimes selectors will ask one to raise one's "lion paw" instead. Dreads = symbolic of lion's mane. And so forth.
I thought Snoop spent some time in August Town over around Judgement Yard (Sizzla's spot). THAT can be quite a serene experience, especially when one is looking for some spiritual cleansing, shall we say.
Produced by Diplo? Mmmm. That will be...interesting, to say the least
Eat something instead of going John Mellencamp on us.
