French Montana continues to reinvent wheel with his usual recording buddies and, surprisingly, Scarface and Snoop Dogg. Excuse My French drops on the 21st. French Montana Ft. Snoop Dogg, Ace Hood, Scarface, Mavado & DJ Khaled - "F*ck What Happen Tonight" Cred: Flex

Snoop Dogg has rapped about being a pimp (as has just about every MC), and he played the pimp-like Huggy Bear in the middling Starsky & Hutch film, but it turns out he actually was a real, selling-women-for-sex pimp for a brief stretch. And not even back when he was in the drug game! It was in 2003! In the latest issue of Rolling Stone , Snoop (whom, I guess, we refer to as Dogg when he's talking about odious stuff and Lion when he's talking about gun control ?) [...]

Only places like Antarctica and Russia endure things as unreasonable as blizzards in May, right? Wrong. In fact, our favorite midwest metro is expecting another inch of the white stuff today. In case you don't know, today is MAY 3RD. That's not going to stop the fine folks at RSE and Rose Presents though; the guys just dropped the official lineup for their annual festival of hip hop and commerce: Soundset. This is the sixth year in a row Atmosphere's own Rhymesayers Entertainment empire curated the event in which he'll headline and the bill [...]

Estamos frente a uno de los giros más contrastantes y radicales que hayan ocurrido en la industria discográfica. Snoop Dogg , probablemente uno de los raperos más famosos a nivel mundial; a quien se vinculó por décadas con pandillas, gangsters, padrotes, crimen, armas y demás, recién atravesó por un proceso que el mismo llama “reencarnación”, de ahí el nombre de su reciente disco/documental Reincarnated . Snoop Dogg con actitud criminal. Esta [...]

Póster de la película. Mucho se ha hablado sobre el drástico cambio de Snoop Dogg a Snoop Lion , este movimiento estuvo inspirado en el viaje que el rapero hizo a Jamaica, donde descubrió la religión Rastafari y dio un giro radical a su vida. Este hecho también derivó en la creación de un filme dirigido por  Andy Capper  que documenta este viaje y un álbum de 12 canciones, ambos llamados Reincarnated . Lean nuestra reseña de este disco aquí . Ahora ya pueden ver el documental [...]

Snoop Lion (a.k.a. Snoop Dogg , a.k.a. Snoop Doggy Dogg ) has taken quite a few surprising turns in recent years. First, there was his questionable guest verse on Katy Perry’s “California Girls” , which was definitely Snoop sounding his laziest, even if it did make the track more infectious. Then he convinced “Like a G6” stars The Cataracs to filter his voice through Autotune and crap out a hit single called “Wet” , which [...]

There are many questionable things about Snoop's fake patois-drenched reboot as roots-reggae uplifter Snoop Lion - and perhaps, per the NYT , tapping fellow Caribbean appropriators Major Lazer to produce is chief amongst them. But since Snoop's already set down this path for a full album ( Reincarnation ), this bonus track here is at least a partial step toward the redemption of his decision making process, because in addition to Major Lazer it features the production talents of Ariel Rechtshaid (he of the new Vampire Weekend record, and of Sky Ferreira's greatest hit [...]

• Snoop Lion - No Regrets ft. TI & Amber Coffman (Bonus Track)

The new Snoop Dogg album...ahem, I mean Snoop Lion finds him changing musical genres and attempting to make a reggae album.  Snoop is not the first artist who has changed genres.  Many have tried...many have failed.  By the massive amount of weed Snoop has smoked over the past 20 years...reggae isn't a far stretch from what he's capable of.  Others have not been as fortunate with their

Directed by Andy Capper, this is the Snoop Dogg's transformation to Snoop Lion and traveling to Jamaica to emerge himself into the Rastafarian culture and producing his first reggae record.

For Snoop Dogg, the making of Reincarnated was publicized as a religious experience. Shedding the violence of his Death Row Records days, the reformed Snoop Lion is a character his three children can idolize. "I can't believe I might be killing my community" Snoop reminisces over the slow burn of "Tired of Running" that features a duet with Akon that's smoother and nearly as intoxicating as chilled Henny and Hypnotic. Snoop tosses more dirt on his former gangster lifestyle on "Rebel Way", which finds the former drug dealer and pimp now professing the power of peace and love. [...]

Antes de dedicarse al dubstep, Skrillex tenía una banda de hardcore. Dicen que el cambio es bueno y en la música hay ciertos actos que han basado su carrera completamente en ese principio, como David Bowie y Beck . Esos músicos han pasado su carrera explorando nuevos sonidos y reinventándose disco tras disco, experimentando con el rock, pop, folk, electrónica y casi todo lo que se les ponga enfrente. Sin embargo, hay otro grupo de bandas y músicos que no ven el cambio como la fuerza constante detrás de su carrera, [...]

Selena Gomez - Getty The 2013 MTV Movie Awards are all about what's hot on the big screen, but a few pop stars couldn't help but get in on the action. Selena Gomez , who will be giving the debut performance of her new single, "Come And Get It," on tonight's awards show, looked absolutely stunning in gold as she walked the red carpet. Ke$ha also worked the carpet with a gothic hippie look. Hayley Williams and her cute two-toned hair was good fun with her band, Paramore . [...]

An incredibly strange confederation of people got together to work on the song "Ashtrays And Heartbreaks": G-rap legend-turned-cuddly reggae croaker Snoop Lion, teen idol-turned-tabloid cautionary tale Miley Cyrus, Diplo-fronted dancehall studio unit Major Lazer, and pop producer/Cass McCombs collaborator Ariel Rechtshaid. Rechtshaid and Major Lazer co-produced the song, which has Snoop and Miley harmonizing pretty effortlessly over a breezy one-drop reggae beat. It's not bad! Listen below. Read More...

• Snoop Lion - Ashtrays and Heartbreaks ft. Miley Cyrus

Snoop Lion ( née Dogg) has teamed up with fellow bong-enthusiast Miley Cyrus for a really rather good single named ' Ashtrays and Heartbreaks '. The melancholy, dub-influenced track was produced by Major Lazer and Ariel Rechtshaid, and is just the kind of thing we'd like to hear on No Doubt's next album. The post Listen: Snoop Lion ft. Miley Cyrus 'Ashtrays and Heartbreaks' appeared first on We Are Pop Slags .

• Snoop Lion - Ashtrays and Heartbreaks ft. Miley Cyrus

The fruits of Mrs. Miley Cyrus Hemsworth 's labors over the past two years are finally paying off—and going up in flames. For his upcoming album Reincarnated , Snoop Dogg —now reborn as Snoop Lion—recruited the smiley pop princess for a song called "Ashtrays and Heartbreaks," co-produced by Major Lazer (that's Diplo 's side project) and Ariel Rechtshaid ( Sky Ferreira , Solange , Charli XCX , et al.) An unusual pairing? Certainly. But together, the two make sweet, sweet sounds. [...]

• Snoop Lion - Ashtrays and Heartbreaks ft. Miley Cyrus

It's the return of  Miley Cyrus , y'all — and suffice it to say that it's pretty cool.  Major Lazer  just premiered a new single from  Snoop Dogg titled "Ashtrays and Heartbreaks" featuring Cyrus on vocals, and the track — produced by  Diplo  and  Ariel Rechtshaid  (who are respectively responsible for most of the coolest pop of the last few years) — is an ultra-chill midtempo single: Breezy, summery, and much less serious than that likably melodramatic title suggests.  "Tonight there's gonna be a whole lot of smoke in [...]

• Snoop Lion - Ashtrays and Heartbreaks ft. Miley Cyrus

When we first featured Snoop's "No Guns Allowed," we - and readers - were quick to note the song's content showed that Snoop's music is beginning to align with his [...]

You know America's gun epidemic has gotten out of control when motherfucking Snoop Doggy Dogg makes a stop-the-madness video. " No Guns Allowed ," Snoop's new peace anthem under his quasi-Rasta Snoop Lion guise, has a new video that cuts between elegiac black-and-white performance footage of Snoop, as well as guests Drake and his daughter Cori B., and images of recent gun tragedies. Jessy Terrero directs; watch it below. Read More...
