This breed of Rap-émon was only just discovered.
Snoop Dogg forever. This interesting Tumblr thread takes a look at some of Snoop Dogg's backstory, and at one point shines light on the fact that between Snoop Dogg and his baking show co-host, Martha Stewart, she's the one who actually served time. With that being said, the word is that Martha never snitched. Check out some more Tumblr gold with this thread about a daughter hilariously crashing her mom's book club.
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."
