He also tells the stories as part of his own narrative. Then, he recalls visiting the legend in the hospital and seeing ‘Pac laying completely still in a bed and knowing that this was, “all bad.” Snoop tells the stories about Death Row, a label that is still mythologized in hip-hop culture, in his own words, largely for the first time. Snoop recalls seeing Suge Knight after the shooting and hearing the story of what happened with almost a light-hearted tone. One of the most difficult moments of the film is when Snoop retells the night that Tupac was shot in Las Vegas in September of 1996. Instead, it focuses on several specific moments in his career, including: his 19 arrests, the early days of Death Row, and his relationship with Tupac Shakur.

He states as he is shown getting on the plane, “I’m going to Jamaica for a month, and I’m going to come back a changed man.” Reincarnated does not preoccupy itself with recounting Snoop’s history in hip-hop or even emphasizing his importance to the culture. The transformation from Snoop Dogg to Snoop Lion is captured in this film beginning with Snoop’s month-long journey to Jamaica.

He has also gone through several public and private evolutions. He has toured the world performing some of hip-hop’s most legendary songs. I wanted peace, love and everybody to live and nobody understood that until people started dying.” Snoop has lived on both literal and figurative stages for over 20 years. “I was at the forefront of the most violent time in hip-hop, with the most violent label. West coast rapper turn Rastafarian Snoop Lionĭirected by Andy Capper and produced by VICE and Snoopadelic Films, Reincarnated opens with Snoop taking a stage and recounting that his life has been in stages. What else could I do in rap? I got rap songs that will never die.” Reincarnated is an album that Snoop is making for himself, as a rapper who other rappers call “Uncle Snoop,” he sees the importance of his personal evolution. “I don’t wanna rap,” says Snoop, “I’m tired of rapping. The film is centered around the production of Reincarnated, the album, headed by DJ Diplo and his Major Lazer production team. Or the presumption that, “This dude has finally smoked TOO much weed.”īut, in actuality, Snoop’s evolution to Snoop Lion and his newly found interest in Jamaican culture, Rastafarianism, and reggae music is not a gimmick, it is, according to his new documentary, Reincarnated, a natural evolution.
