Unfortunately for fans of Snoop’s rap, he said it’s not a challenge for or appealing to him anymore: He said he “always wanted to make a song that could really stand for something, could never make a song called ‘No Guns Allowed’ because was supposed to be a gangsta.” One new song is cited as a departure for Snoop called “No Guns Allowed,” Snoop calls for a ban on handguns, something not particularly gangsta. As for what kind of music Snoop Lion makes, it’s a departure from his usual rapping, as he mostly sings and the lyrics are more of the peace and love variety rather than gin and juice. Snoop then held a spiritual meeting with a high priest, where he - true to his Snoop nature - smoked marijuana with Rastafarian priests, who then named renamed him Lion. He also stated that he didn’t just want to be Snoop Dogg making a reggae album, but to bury Snoop Dogg and become a reggae artist for the album. He said he wasn’t planning on venturing into reggae, but, basically, the spirit made him do it. Speaking to reporters at New York restaurant Miss Lily’s, Snoop said “the spirit” guided him to Jamaica and also guided him to make a reggae album. Titled Reincarnated, the new album has a reggae focus, rather than the normal gangsta rap to which we’re accustomed. Snoop is going through what could be his midlife crisis during the right time, as he’s working on a new album.
