But then Snoop Doggy Dogg, as he was first known, was never afraid of embracing his contradictions. Snoop Lion still has a fair bit of the Dogg in him. "Who is that? Is that Rachel from BET ? Well, whoever she is, she fine as a motherfucker. "When you allow evolution to happen, that's when it becomes the greatest thing it could possibly be." He's still staring at the screen and comes to a sudden stop. It's from the heart and soul." He talks about how he has changed as a man, a husband, a father of three. Snoop has just made a documentary that charts his path from gun-toting gangsta-rapper to the peace-and-love Rastafarian who claims to have been reincarnated (the name of both the film and his new album). No sooner has he sat down than he is up and dancing. He shakes hands, asks one of his homies why there is no oil in his ganja pipe, flicks on the huge flatscreen TV in front of us and starts watching a bit of Snoop history. He slopes in, long and loping, in a white T-shirt, dark jeans and jacket, trainers and shades, blingtastic lion medallion hanging down his chest, patchy Rasta beard, and surprisingly beautiful. On the walls are huge Snoop posters, to the left is the Snoop television studio, where two near-naked women are chatting, and to my right is an old-fashioned video with a stack of Snoop VHSs lined up alongside it.

You want somebody to come to the playing field, putting up points, to where you got to rethink your shit and say, ‘Well, damn, this is what he thinks of me. And as a rapper, that’s what you want when you get a feature, to have to fucking work your ass off.
Eminem really fucking shot at me, he shot his shot. It was very challenging for me, I’ll say that. Snoop and Eminem recorded their upcoming new song “about two months ago,” Snoop says.
And as long there was no disrespect directly or ill will, then it can all be forgiven and it can all be moving on.” You know, my brother hurt my feelings a lot of times - I wanted to join a gang and he wouldn’t let me!… You learn to understand and respect each other as brothers, as family members, and you respect each other’s opinions. So we wanted to get an understanding behind closed doors… We’re brothers, man. “So we don’t want the public to put a spin on something that’s not even that serious…. “You got to understand we really love each other,” Snoop says.
