Rapper Snoop Dogg now wishes to be known as Snoop Lion

Bricker · #1 08-01-2012, 04:59 AM

Yup.

Also, he's the reincarnation of Bob Marley.

Please update your contact lists accordingly.

Alessan · #2 08-01-2012, 05:01 AM

Huh.

So it does cause long-term brain damage.

Kamino Neko · #3 08-01-2012, 05:06 AM

Methinks Snoop needs to adjizzle his medizzle.

(For the Bob Marley thing...for the name thing...meh, at least he's still not Puff Daddy.)

Telperion · #4 08-01-2012, 05:53 AM

It's a good thing he didn't visit France and get reincarnated as Snoop Sparrow.

Lynn Bodoni · #5 08-01-2012, 05:53 AM

IOW, he's not getting his share of the spotlight, so he's going to try to reinvent himself.

My contact list has been updated as needed.

Wasn't "Doggy" in there at one point? Lion make no sense whatsoever. Roar Lion Yo, perhaps, would have been a better choice.

Darth Panda · #7 08-01-2012, 06:22 AM

Snoop Doggy Lion just seems weird.

What about Snoop Lion Fish? Or Snoop Dingo Gringo? Snoop Puppy Love? Snoop Fresh Water Otter?

kayaker · #8 08-01-2012, 06:28 AM

Does the OP specify "Rapper" Snoop Dogg so as to avoid confusion with "UN Diplomat" Snoop Dogg, "Physicist" Snoop Dogg, et al?

Johnny Bravo · #9 08-01-2012, 06:40 AM

What Snoop says: He's 'tired of hip hop.'

What Snoop means: He hasn't had a no. 1 song in years, so why not see if the kids are stupid enough to believe that he's a reincarnation of Bob Marley?

In Snoop Dog's defense, kids are REALLY DUMB.

I see it more as an escalation.

Snopp Dogg --> Snoop Lion --> Snoop Velociraptor --> Snoop Tyrannosaurus --> Snoop Godzilla.

Snoop Doggy Dogg was his "first" name when he showed up with Dr Dre on The Chronic (at least that's where I first heard of him).

I listened to la la la which I gather is his first reggae single. I didn't really care for it but I'll be interested to hear some others, I think he's got the talent to put out some better stuff. Do we know who his producer is?

Snoop Lion actually replaces Snoop Snow Leopard.

ministryman · #13 08-01-2012, 07:52 AM

It would have been easier to change it to Snoop Og

or just Snog.

Omar Little · #19 08-01-2012, 08:21 AM

Is there legal standing for him to start receiving royalties from all of the downloads by college kids of Bob Marley's Legend?

LaurenIpsum · #20 08-01-2012, 09:41 AM

While you are all updating your contact lists, please be aware that I would now like to be known as "The Maestro."

Only if you include Marley's ghost.

I always confuse Snoop Snow Leopard with Snoop Lion in Winter.

Ogre · #24 08-01-2012, 03:10 PM

Hey, the guy is trying for a little self-awareness. That's OK in my book (and the music isn't bad, really.)

Put him up against Dr. MothDre and you've got yourself a Saturday afternoon on the SyFy channel!

Marley23 · #26 08-01-2012, 03:20 PM

I think Snoop spent about a month in Jamaica I'm trying to imagine how much weed he smoked during that time. If he'd come up with something much weirder than "the reincarnation of Bob Marley" I wouldn't have been surprised. The song, meanwhile, is pretty decent.

He first showed up with Dre on the soundtrack to a movie - Homicide? Had Goldblum in it, IIRC. Snoop was featured on the song 187 (at least he say that Police code a lot during the song).

He was nicknamed Snoopy as a kid and took Doggy Dogg off another rapper, Trent Doggy Dogg, again IIRC. He has a great flow - I am not sure how it will translate to reggae, but I will give it a listen. Snoop tends to do interesting stuff.

He should know we're all waiting for him to be Snoop Mountain Lion, shouldn't he?

Vinyl Turnip · #29 08-01-2012, 03:25 PM

"Snoop Lion" sounds vaguely like a Jamaican person saying "snowblind."

He's obviously turned to cocaine. It's a cry for help, people.

No love for Snoop Honey Badger?

According to Wikipedia, Snoop was already nine years old when Marley died.

Is it legal to reincarnate as someone who's already that old, or is Mr. Marley violating some sort of anti-possession statute here?

Scarlett67 · #35 08-01-2012, 08:39 PM

Does this mean that woodstockbirdybird has to change his name too?

Farmer Jane · #36 08-01-2012, 09:02 PM

Did you guys click on that link? He really looks like a child molester these days.

Ethilrist · #37 08-01-2012, 09:10 PM

Snoop Liony Lion?

Do they even have lions in Jamaica?

Farmer Jane · #38 08-01-2012, 09:15 PM

Iron Lion Zion!

Farmer Jane · #39 08-01-2012, 09:21 PM

Wait - this new venture is produced by Diplo?

Snoop is such an asshole, but I may have to give it a listen.

In private.

Lute Skywatcher · #40 08-01-2012, 09:36 PM

He's been hanging around Charlie Sheen?

Child molester's don't have a look or we would be a whole lot better at keeping them away from kids.

I heard about Snoop Lion yesterday and thought it was a joke.

Well, it's really too obvious to post here, but it's my favorite riddle, so I'm going to do it anyhow....

Q: What's brown and rhymes with snoop?

I just installed OSX Snoop Lion on my Mac. The new system is kinda shizzle and smells skunky.

And when you tell it to Print, a deputy with an inkpad comes out of the USB port. The only problem is when it crashes it can take 2 days before it starts back up, and even then it needs two hours in a jacuzzi and a huge mug of beer before it comes fully out of sleep mode.
