Definitely Lion.

Truly a masterpiece worthy of Salvador Dalí. An insightful commentary on our modern-day culture of reappropriation and its inevitable distortion and perversion of the original cultural artifact. 10/10.

Success really DOES change people. Specifically, it gives people more money to buy drugs.

If P. Diddy can change his name and Willie Nelson can release a reggae album, why can't Snoop Dogg do both? The 40-year-old rapper formally announced today that he would be changing his name to Snoop Lion and abandoning rap to focus on reggae.

At a recent press conference, the newly-christened Snoop Lion described his life-changing visit to a Rastafarian temple while in Jamaica recording for his new album:

"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."
