One of the things he accuses you of is not honoring contractual commitments. I’m growing to a man, so as a man, do I wanna revert back to my old ways and fuck this n***a up, or move forward, shine with the light? It’s nothing. Bitch-ass n***a.” I’m still a gangsta – don’t get it fucked up. He’s the one supposedly putting out the negative energy. I mean, it would be meaningful for him to talk to me. Would it be meaningful for you to have a conversation directly with him? If I’m gonna be Rasta incorporated, loving energy is the only way I can match his negative energy. The last time I seen him, it was all love, but when I heard the negative remarks, I paid no attention. Any relationship, you gotta be able to disagree. To me, it’s a miscommunication, and I’m not gonna speak nothing negative because I love him too much. In the film, you and Bunny Wailer seem to get along well. During the discussion, he elaborated on his side of the fallout with Wailer. Last week, Rolling Stone met with Snoop Lion in Los Angeles for an upcoming profile. Recently, however, Wailer came out against Snoop in a TMZinterview, decrying the Long Beach, California MC’s “outright fraudulent use of the Rastafari community’s personalities and symbolism” and his failure to meet “contractual, moral and verbal commitments.” Wailer’s contribution to the album was ultimately cut. During the film, Snoop smokes a chalice with Bob Marley’s old bandmate, Bunny Wailer, and invites him to sing on the new album – Wailer assents, but only after expressing his hope that Snoop’s adoption of the Rastafarian movement will not be “commercialized.” (As it happens, the Reincarnated film features abundant product placement for Adidas, which sponsors Snoop and which kicked in money for the budget, according to a member of Snoop’s management team.) The fruits of that trip included a Rastafarian purification ceremony at a Nyabinghi temple, a name change to Snoop Lion, a reggae-inspired album called Reincarnated (out yesterday) and a promotional documentary of the same name. He closed by saying Bob Marley’s family including his widow Rita and sons Rohan, Stephen and Damian have endorsed his conversion to Rastafari.In early 2012, Snoop Dogg took a three-week trip to Jamaica in order to make new music and explore a country and culture that had long fascinated him.

I’ve done nothing but put you in a place where the world knows who you are.” It’s not my fault if you haven’t been paid. What could it be? To me, a lot of these guys from back in the days have been done wrong, and they think younger artistes owe them, because we’ve been paid and treated right. “What’s he referring to? It can’t be nothing because he’s not on my record. Responding to Rolling Stone’s question of Wailer’s accusation of a contract breach, Snoop Lion bristled. The documentary of the same name - which includes Snoop Lion’s meeting with Wailer - was also released. He recently released a reggae album called Reincarnated. The trip included a Rastafarian purification ceremony at a Nyabinghi temple which resulted in his subsequent name change to Snoop Lion. Snoop Lion (then Snoop Dogg) visited Jamaica early last year to explore the island and its culture. He claims the rapper breached a contract when footage of a 2012 meeting they had in Kingston appeared in a recently released documentary produced by Snoop Lion.Īccording to Wailer, the get-together “should not have been filmed” and anything done would be the “private property” of both artistes. In a March 18 story in the Jamaica Observer, Wailer tried to set the record straight about his feud with Snoop Lion, one of the pioneers of gangsta rap.

This is Snoop Dogg he’s already a star.’ It should have been, play along with me as opposed to stick me up. You get the energy? When it should have been, ‘Hey, this brother is putting me back in the light I could possibly get on the road with him, be on his album, eat again. You was just one of them: Bob, Peter Tosh, then you.
