Rapper Snoop Dogg Is Glad He Ditched His Snoop Lion Persona And Went Back To His Old Name, Calling His Latest Reinvention A "Breath Of Fresh Air".
The rapper became Snoop Lion in 2012 to launch a reggae album called Reincarnated, but he later changed it back, and now he has declared he is much happier as Snoop Dogg.
He tells Britain's The Guardian newspaper, "Snoop Lion was necessary - there was a reason for that... I wanted to stand up to the gun violence and I wanted to do things that represented the spirit of Rastafari, and that's what Snoop Lion was about... But Snoop Dogg was always there, you know. He just wasn't able to expose himself through that music in that name, because Snoop Dogg is more about what we're on right now. Party, having a good time, feeling good... enjoying life...
"(I am) definitely (glad to be Snoop Dogg again), it's like a breath of fresh air. But Snoop Lion helped me grow into a new Snoop Dogg. So I feel good and feel different about the music that I'm making and the direction that I took."
