this guy snoop. What can I say. He tries to come up with something new everytime. But you can't hate the fact that it is always something good.
I am looking forward to his new sound. Liked the old sound but not the lyrics. Love reggae!
Whatever happened to the phrase 'you cant teach an old Dogg new tricks?' I havent heard Snoop make a hit since the 90's or early 00's.
"Born again"Â ?

Man that is some wild wild ganja they grow down there.Â

I think they call this "re-branding"
Let's see how long this lasts.
I liked him best when he debuted on Dr Dre's "The Chronic", and his own debut album
Hope his kids and grandparents smoke pot!! LOL
