"Snoop Dogg has said that he has always felt as if he is &amp;quot;Bob Marley reincarnated&amp;quot;. He made the claim at a press conference to promote his new records under his reggae alias of &amp;#039;Snoop Lion&amp;#039;.  The rapper stated that deep-down he has always been a Rastafarian, but became aware of this himself upon visiting priests in Jamaica. Speaking to reporters, he said: &amp;quot;I didn&amp;#039;t know that until I went to the temple, where the High Priest asked me what my name was, and I said, &amp;#039;Snoop Dogg&amp;#039;. And he looked me in my eyes and said, &amp;#039;No more. You are the light; you are the lion&amp;#039;.&amp;quot;  He continued: &amp;quot;I have always said I was Bob Marley reincarnated. I feel I have always been a Rastafari. I just didn&amp;#039;t have my third eye open, but it&amp;#039;s wide open right now.&amp;quot; Speaking of his collaboration with Diplo and MIA on the upcoming reggae album Reincarnated, he claimed: &amp;quot;On this particular project, I had no planning on going to Jamaica, making a reggae record. The spirit called me. And, you know, anytime the spirit calls you, you gotta know that it&amp;#039;s serious. &amp;quot;I basically let them know what I want. It&amp;#039;s not that I want to become Snoop Dogg in a reggae track... I want to bury Snoop Dogg and become Snoop Lion.&amp;quot; Listen to Snoop Lion&amp;#039;s debut single &amp;#039;La La La&amp;#039; below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
