Snoop Dog to Snoop Lion!

'Jah' is a stylized rendering of YHWH, symbolized by marijuana leaves.
'Ganjah' is marijuana.

Im sorry but the pic of House and the explaination...I cant stop chuckling....

Edit in meaning (I heard House's voice in this explaination...so not making fun of you Athanasius! Laughing at myself hearing House..)

He was, until just recently, a member of the Nation of Islam. But he butted heads with the Black Muslims because the NOI is opposed to marijuana use. In Jamaica, he has converted to Rastafarianism. They believe that former Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie II (Ras Tafari) was the incarnate son of God. The Rastafarian god is called Jah, and is represented by the marijuana plant. I've always been a big Bob Marley fan. But Rastafarianism is pretty fruity.

Bob Dylan, not Bob Marley.

Bob Dylan was born Jewish, embraced Christianity in the 70's and into the 80's and then has seemed to fluctuate between Christianity and Judaism every since.

Snoop Dog has indeed claimed to have converted and is a Rasta and is even claiming to be the reincarnated Bob Marley as others have said.

Both!

These two men were both musical geniuses. Bob Seger, not so much.

I was talking about Bob Dylan.

Don't hate me but I have never liked Bob Dylan or Bob Marley for that matter.

Ah ok. I think Dylan's gone back to being an agnostic.

Maybe. But while I was tangled up in blue all along the watchtower, it occured to me that the times they are a changin. So regardless of whether we listen to Dylan or Marley, in Snoop's theology, everybody must get stoned.

Actually it was a Dylan original....Hendrix covered it a couple years later.

I like bob dylan's music. Though I couldn't honestly call it singing. At my house we have nearly every Lp and play them often.

Just look what Daddy just did. Snoop Dog just got saved!
He had to go all the way Jamaica to do it, but he's born again. Lets all pray he walks in a way that glorifies our Father.

I will reserve judgment until I hear his testimony about what he believes to be the cause of his salvation. There are some 'different' types of 'Christian' theology in the islands that bear no real resemblance to biblical Christianity. What concerns is his upcoming album entitled 'Reincarnation', this is a tenet of some Jamaican groups in regard to the late Ethiopian dictator Halle Salase (not sure of the spelling, Google was not much help here, )

Lets hope he can sing like him then, be great to have some Marley music back.
