Storyline

Hip Hop legend Snoop Dogg teamed up with VICE on a spiritual journey to Jamaica to reflect on his past career, including his failures, loves, regrets and losses. With this journey, Snoop intends to reincarnate himself as a Pop Reggae artist by immersing himself in Rastafari, exploring musical and religious histories deeply rooted in Jamaica. His pilgrimage begins with a jaunt to a mountain-side ganja farm run by Rastas, revealing the underbelly of the Jamaican drug market. Snoop then heads down to the troubled areas of Trenchtown and Tivoli Gardens; revealing a neglected ghetto population and rampant police brutality following the exile of drug lord Chris "Coke" Dudus. Snoop also stops by the famous Alpha Boys School for an impromptu jam session. A school which has seen countless Reggae musicians pass through its youth orchestra.

Berhane is looking for inspiration while smoking a weed

Berhane — is a Snoop Dogg's new name. One of The Wailers named him Snoop Lion though. Which one is soundable — choose.

Berhane is a rap icon. He has made bucks of money making music, and selling drugs. Earlier of his life, I think. I wasn't born in Ghetto, I had very normal childhood with in very normal neighborhood, and all what I was saying in my review — is just another opinion.

I think, if one wants to understand Snoop Dogg is to have the same experience he had been going through which I never did. In other words, my opinion is biased here.

"Reincarnated" — a huge commercial to expand "smoke every day" culture to every places it's possible to get into all over the Earth. If jokes aside, Snoop Lion is doing another album to find his "truth" while making some music united with Vice Inc. to record the process. Of course, smoking some weed in the first place, Jamaica.

There were some unique moments in the movie though. There were some words worth to hear, video tapes worth to see, and Snoop Dogg is a long term showman pimping in every corner of the rap culture to make some show out of his ordinary days.

Now, Snoop wants to be a Jamaican and go into its roots as the greatest of all Marley did almost a half century ago. Was it successful? You can go to Netflix and make your own choice — below is mine.

Not at all.

Rap and Reggae are totally different genres I believe. Snoop Dogg didn't think so. It's up to him. I cannot convince musician of that size as Snoop to hear my voice, it's pointless thing to do.

In Jamaica, people are smoking everywhere. The documentary is how to smoke a weed, believe me. How to grow the herbs, where to grow them, and how to smoke them.
