    Have you heard about this?

    So… Snoop Lion now? I’m curious. Does anyone have theories as to why singers change their names so often after getting famous? And am I forgetting important people, or do they tend to be rappers?

    And do you buy Snoop’s story?

    I’m just hoping the third stage of his evolution is Snoop Griffin.

     

    The ones that always spring to mind are religious ones – i.e. Muhammad Ali and Yusuf Islam.

    There should be a game for coming up with new names for Snoop. Krakken, Salamander, Ardvark…

    I found it especially interesting that he claimed to be the reincarnation of Bob Marley. I wonder if anybody told him that Marley died a decade after Mr. Lion was born. Have we considered the implications of pre-death reincarnation?

    Perhaps he’s suggesting Marley’s soul entered his body ala Drop Dead Diva? Did Li’l Snoop have any near-death/ flatline experiences as a kid?

    And has anyone else seen this before?

    And the funny thing is, only one of them has actually been convicted of a felony, right? OOOH!
