Snoop Dogg wants you to know that he's tired of hip-hop, is Bob Marley reincarnated and is embracing reggae instead of the culture of guns he once rapped about.

Also, he's got a new name: Snoop Lion.

The artist said at a news conference Monday in New York that he was "born again" during a visit to Jamaica in February and is ready to make music that his "kids and grandparents can listen to."

The former gangster rapper is releasing a reggae album called "Reincarnated" in the fall. He said that in Jamaica, he connected with Bob Marley's spirit and is now "Bob Marley reincarnated."

Bob Marley's son Rohan attended the conference and gave Snoop his blessing.

"I feel like I've always been Rastafarian," Snoop said of the spiritual Jamaican movement. While there, he said, he visited a temple, was renamed Snoop Lion and was also given the Ethiopian name Berhane, meaning "light of the world."

Snoop didn't explain why he was switching from "Dogg" to "Lion," but it's likely a reference to the Lion of Judah, a religious symbol popular in Rastafarian and Ethiopian culture.

Snoops proven he'll do anything for money. Like anything.

You give that guy a few million bucks and he'll suck your dick on camera.

Even though I don't smoke Snoop seems like one of the coolest people to be around though. The definition of smooth and chilled.

~Styles~ · 08-04-2012, 05:36 AM

Yeh Snoop is basically jus a character these days. I mean does anyone check for a Snoop album anymore? He's had a banger here and there.. but in the grand scheme of things he's been wack since Doggystyle (which is top 10 all time LOL)..

But yeh dude is cool as ****...

Just think about it...you could be the same way.

Don't do drugs! (Let them do you)

If a religion rationalizes smoking weed, it's bound to attract people who smoke. He should be making children's movies like Ice Cube by now. Hollywood loves old rappers.

Meh. He can't be any worse than Damian Marley.
