Reincarnated

A friend of mine put this on for my boyfriend and me to watch. It seemed like a good pick based on the current mood we were in. I had no idea about Snoop changing his name and thought at first it was pretty stupid and silly, but our friend assured us we would understand after watching this documentary. I enjoyed some of it, mostly the more honest scenes where Snoop talks about his past and how he wanted to make more positive music, and honestly the music was groovy. The only problems I had with it were it was a little too long for what it was and the running time (especially in the middle) made it lose it's initial impact it had in the first 30 minutes of the film. Overall I had a good time watching it with my friends and the ending scenes were well done but that middle part made it feel sluggish until it finally crossed the finish line.

Calvin Broadus goes on a pilgrimage to Jamaica, what do you think is going to happen? You got it, a inordinate amount of of smoking. I commend the earnest crusade to reinvent yourself as a artist and Snoop does manage to lay down some acceptable reggae tracks with Diplo but most of this reel is too insistent on getting Snoop Lion high.
