Snoop Lion talks about ‘Reincarnated,’ changing his name, and smoking weed

Popular culture
12 March, 2013

Opening in select theaters on 15 March is the new music documentary Reincarnated about Snoop Dogg. The movie follows artist Snoop Dogg as he travels to Jamaica to record his first reggae album, changes his name to Snoop Lion, and takes a look back at his career, which has spanned almost twenty years. In addition to Snoop, the film features interviews with musicians Dr. Dre, Bunny Wailer, Damian Marley, Stewart Copeland, and Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.

IAR Managing Editor Jami Philbrick recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Snoop Lion in his recording studio to talk about filming Reincarnated, as well as changing his name, and smoking pot.
