Snoop Dogg likes to smoke a little of that sticky icky icky. We know this because he talks about almost nothing else. Remarkably, he hasn’t proclaimed a fondness for reggae yet, so the rapper has decided to create yet another ode to weed by announcing that he’s making a reggae LP with?Diplo.
Yes, really.
It’ll be all blunts-this, chong-that… light-’em-up and gorging on as many packets of 10p crisps at the 24 hour garage as he can.
Diplo told MTV:
“Snoop Dogg is an icon, man; he’s bigger than the music. What we’re doing is a reggae record.?It’s all reggae and he’s singing and he’s doing a fucking awesome job and I never knew it, but he had his heart in every song.”
He added:
“We’re going to get back into the production of it next month, and I’m really proud of that record. It’s the first record I’ve ever executive-produced and his crew is amazing.”
Of course, this isn’t the first time Snoop has ventured away from rap into other musical genres.
Hands-up if you remember his song, My Medicine, which he did with Willie Nelson? Yes, THAT Willie Nelson. Another dirty stoner if ever there was one.
While Snoop disappears into his latest haze of green smoke, have a listen to what happens when he ventures into new musical territories and see if you think this reggae LP is going to be any good.

THe Snoopster hasn’t made a good record in at least a decade–like so many music “stars”–he’s living off his reputation and self-created personna. Him doing a reggae record? Look for lots of guest duets featuring a multitude of Marleys. And guess what? It will still suck!
Dorian says
David, you must be a god of music yourself!! I would like to see what you think is “a good record” since you say Snoop didn’t record one in at least a decade!
Give him a chance, i think this reggae album is going to be fucking awesome, so havesome patience, give him some credit and stfu!
Peace

I am a Rasta of heart and spiritual conviction, my religion is Love when I found JAH I was not able to speak with the same tongue. If Snoop Lion has found his Majesty I guarantee you the Truth will appear in his music and we don’t need to Judge him wait until those words appear and let that be the Judge.
David says
Dorian–I waited till I heard a cut or two from Snoop’s reggae CD–I wanted to like it because I love reggae music but it’s weak,maybe the rest of it will be better. As far as having an opinion on music? Do you have to be a recording artist to have an opinion? Read the reviews of Snoop’s rap music in recent years and tell me what they say.
Finally—Snoop is getting onto shaky ground when he says he feels he’s Bob Marley incarnated.

Man you failed, My Medicine is a song featuring Everlast. The song he made with Willie Nelson is Superman. Please correct it now. So what, you heard Willie Nelson’s voice in ”My Medicine” or maybe you don’t no him at all.
