Snoop Dogg Going Reggae?

[User]

Rapper Snoop Dogg seems to be trying his hand at the reggae genre.

Snoop, born Cordozar Calvin Broadus, Jr., has reportedly been `laying down several tracks with members of the Marley family in his home studio in L.A. and is really intent on releasing an all reggae album,` according to 24hourhiphop.com.

And Snoop Dogg, Slightly Stoopid and Stephen Marley are teaming up for this summer`s Blazed and Confused tour.

The month-long trek will kick off on July 10 in Primm, Nevada, and head across the country to Denver, Portland, Salt Lake City and Atlanta before wrapping in Boston on August 8.

`The tour will attract all of the people who love to blaze and shed light on the confused,` Marley told Billboard.com recently. `Think a Lollapalooza kind of vibe. You get a whole kind of people that are on the same plane -- that`s what it`s about.`

`Snoop has always had respect for our culture and our father and the family,` says Marley. `And likewise, in those days when it was mostly gangster rap, he was all about the chronic` - slang for marijuana -- `which to us was a good way of taking it away from shooting guns. Snoop was one of the rappers that we would listen to because he was promoting herb.`

Pre-sale tickets for Blazed and Confused start at $20 and are available at slightlystoopid.frontgatetickets.com.

Snoop is a badass artist. He's put it down for rapping for a decade and now he's showing he can spread his talent. I even liked his song with Willie Nelson, so I'm sure anything with the Marley's will be dope.
