Snoop Lion, Reggae's New Hope......We dont think so

So here we go despite all the hype of Snoop Dogg changing his mane to Snoop Lion we said we would give it a chance and listen for the music. Cant throw any shade on Snoop who is a legend in the rap game and obviously has a lot of love for Bob Marley (cough, cough) but we love the attention and awareness he has brought to the reggae world based on his new found musical direction. So Snoop has also enlisted Major Lazer as his producer and although we are sure he will have more music to come we are not feeling the first single. We love Snoop's hip hop swagger and he was am monster in the West Coast 2012 BET Cyper (you tube it) but Snoooop, you do us all a disservice with this stuff.

We know Snoop loves the kids, but grass skirts, non recognizable dancing and nothing sounding remotely Jamaican (other than the ites green and gold) this cant pass as the authentic reggae.Truth be told I had the same reaction when I saw Vanilla Ice's Ice Ice Baby I was like what the hell is the fool doing, this song is going nowhere, and that song went on to become the first full rap song to top the Billboard Charts plus  topping the Australian, Dutch, Irish, Italian and UK charts, so don't be surprised if you see this Snoop single on the charts (shaking our heads profusely) Enjoy
