Snoop Dog Becomes Snoop Lion (commentary)

So I logged into my email and am greeted by this tantalizing article in the masthead. Snoop Dog changes his name. Intrigued, I have to click in and read it. I admit to clicking on the articles on yahoo as more times than not, they amuse. This one did not disappoint. Snoop Dog is changing his name to Snoop Lion - he is going to do rasta music and he claims to be Bob Marley reincarnated. I guess he went to Jamaica and found himself there - or more to the point - he communed with the spirit of Bob Marley.

Now, I love reggae and I have to say, I am going to follow this transformation in the Snoop-verse and see where he goes with this. Here is the article so you can read it yourself.

Snoop wants to write music that his kids and family can listen to. Ok, man. Do that. I might listen to you too. The only song I can stand by him now is the one he did with Katy Perry (California Gurlz). So, I am curious enough to listen to the man and see what he will do. Bob Marley wrote beautiful lyrics and amazing songs so I think that Snoop is raising the bar pretty high here but I will see what he does. I prefer reggae to the offensive stuff he has been doing so let's go man - DO IT.

Anyways. This applies to culture so this is a 100 things post. :)

89/100 Total Recall (movie trailer)

I am looking forward to this movie.

I really like Colin Farrell. I do believe they made a mistake revealing that Kate Beckinsale is an evil character. I think they could have left that as a surprise in the movie - hey, drama!

Still looks good to me.
