Or even supporting a movement by The League of Young Voters Education Fund that started a "No Guns Allowed" initiative, inspired by my song that promotes non-violence and gun responsibility. This new approach transformed me musically and brought opportunities to my door I never thought possible…like teaming up with MTV and Jewelry For A Cause to help take illegal guns off the streets by creating bracelets from illegal firearms.
All that gangsta stuff, the songs about the dealing, the hustling…it isn't in my life the same way it used to be. They allowed me to explore topics I've never touched with sixteen bars. I had Diplo and Major Lazer to help guide me musically. As I began this new self-realization, Rastafari called me to step outside my boundaries and make music that had a strong message, a message I believe in…Unity, Love and Peace. I wanted to make music that reflected my current life's journey and perspective, something with substance and a positive message, like my "No Guns Allowed" song featuring Drake and my beautiful daughter, Cori B. Dre, and has received fame for albums such as 'Doggystyle,' 'Tha Doggfather' and 'Reincarnated. People evolve over time and I wanted to make a project that speaks to my journey and transformation. Snoop Dogg is a West Coast rapper who evolved under the tutelage of Dr. I love rap music- it makes me who I am and the Dogg will always be a part of me. Snoop's leaden vocalizing and dreadful fake patois are occasionally saved by the strong.
As I grew older and wiser, I came to a point where I wanted to make music that spoke from a place of love, peace and respect. Snoop Dogg's dalliance with reggae was documented in the film Reincarnated and this is the companion album. When you're younger, you look at things differently. I've made iconic rap music that will live on and forever be considered "classics." But as an artist I always challenge myself. Wailer claims Snoop has engaged in "outright fraudulent use of Rastafari Community's personalities and symbolism" - and has failed to meet "contractual, moral and verbal commitments."Īnd it's not just Bunny who feels burned - leaders of something called the Ethio-Africa Diaspora Union Millennium Council (aka Rastafari Millennium Council) - fired off a 7-page demand letter to Snoop.LIFE IS A BLESSING. which documented Snoop's immersion in the Rasta culture as he recorded his first reggae album in Jamaica last year. and now they're threatening to sue.īunny Wailer - an original member of Bob Marley and the Wailers - tells TMZ he's heated about the docu-film " Reincarnated". Snoop Lion, nee Snoop Dogg, has done the seemingly impossible - pissed off a bunch of ganja smoking Rastafarians - who claim he lied about becoming a Rasta just to make a movie and sell records.
