#Snoop lion in jamaica 2013 movie#
I can’t fix what people have done with you in the past, but I’m gonna put you in the movie – he signed off on it – put you on the album.
My conversation with Bunny was about how he was done, not how I’m gonna do him. I’ve given you a platform to speak and make money. They heard who you are, now they know who you are. 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 artists owe them, because we’ve been paid and treated right. It can’t be nothing because he’s not on my record. 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. It is a companion project to the documentary film Reincarnated.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.
The album's production was handled by Major Lazer, Ariel Rechtshaid, 6Blocc, Dre Skull, Supa Dups and Diplo, who also served as executive producer.
