"Bob Marley reincarnated"?...Ummmm...I don't think so.

[sbeth]

I'm very interested in watching the Documentary. I don't have a problem with Snoop exploring this aspect of music/culture.

[Mr. Twister]

Did Snoop do the MTV Spring Breaks in Jamaica some years ago?

[Biggs of the week]

Not discussing if I like Snoop or not,I think he has had a spiritual awakening like many of us who have spent time in Jamaica! Might be a positive thing for him .

[Luvsdaislands]

More power to Snoop!! He has just been bit by the JAMAICAN bug like many many folks!!! If wants to do reggae music and is inspired by Bob Marley (who has inspired many) then let him do it and bring more reggae music awareness to the young folks.

NOW I can post of pic of my oldest son who is a true reincarnation of Bob Marley...he looks exactly like him, LOL!!!

It's really not the issue of this drug use; it's his whole message - disrespecting women, disrespecting the law and his overall thug image. I saw Snoop 2 years ago at the Grammy’s where he was walking 2 women w/ dog leaches around their necks. He often sings about gun play, being a pimp and drugs. It will be surprising to me to find out that he really is sincere about changing his ways as opposed to trying to sell his music. BTW, snoop dog and Bob Marley should never be used in the same sentence, there are no similarities, one believes in peace, love and uniting the world and the other believes division and hatred.

These comments make a lot more sense to me and I agree with much of what you say above......but there can be no peace without any understanding, forgiveness, healing and moving forward. It seems to me this is what snoop wants to do.... we can only wait and see. I'll take the mans word and see if his actions live up to it.

I haven't seen where snoop himself has made reference to him being Bob Marley reincarnated, as others have pointed out. This seems to be a headline created by others.

The reason behind the bob Marley reincarnated headline is because Snoop stated this himself in his press conference.

“Anytime the spirit calls you, you gotta know that it’s serious and it’s real. When the spirit called me, it told me to find something that was connected towards the Bob Marley spirit. Because I’ve always said that I was Bob Marley reincarnated.”

See below you link to the conference:

Clearly Snoop Dogg/Snoop Lion is NOT Bob Marley reincarnated but I think I understand what he was trying to say. He feels inspired by Bob Marley and wants to take his music into a new direction. I don’t think there is anything wrong with that.

I actually think it’s very cool. He’s promoting the beauty of Jamaica, the music, and the Rastafarian culture. He’s trying to turn a new leaf. He wants to focus on love & peace now. I’m all for new beginnings. I look forward to checking out his upcoming album.

Thanks for the link Clairity! Kind of reminds me of the John Lennon "bigger than Jesus" press conference comment.

The Yahoo artical that I linked to has changed since I first read it. The original artical spoke about how he had an epiphany while in Jamaica. He was quoted as saying that he "connected with the spirit of Bob Marley" and that he himself was "Bob Marley reincarnated".
