Numerous fans and critics have queried Snoop’s credibility as a Rastafarian reggae artist. “I was at the forefront of the most violent time in hip hop… that’s what forced me to find a new path and I found peace I am still Snoop (motherfucking) Dogg ‘til I die but when I make my reggae music I am in the light of Snoop Lion,” declared the “Gin and Juice” rapper in the Reincarnated documentary. Tired of the rap game, Snoop sought a positive persona, which he found in Rasta and reggae. His reggae album of the same name, recorded mostly during his Jamaica trip, drops today (April 23), when Rastafarians in Jamaica, coincidentally, solemnly observe the 47th anniversary of Haile Selassie I’s only visit to the island, April 21-23, 1966. A feature-length documentary, “Reincarnated,” detailing Snoop’s Jamaica sojourn and spiritual transformation was released in March. Snoop, born in 1971, has declared himself the reincarnation of Bob Marley who passed away in 1981.
