Snoop DoggTORONTO — Rapper Snoop Dogg insists, for now, he is dropping the ‘Dogg' to take on a new moniker, Snoop Lion. Snoop became one of the world's most recognizable names in rap music after his 1993 debut album “Doggystyle" helped forge the rise of gangsta rap. But the California singer and actor with the tough image of guns, drugs now claims he is now embracing reggae music, peace and love. His transformation, he told reporters on Friday at the Toronto International Film Festival about a new documentary chronicling the change, should not be too surprising: “I was always saying to myself I was Bob Marley reincarnated." — Reuters
