14 DAY TRIAL // Snoop Dogg will no longer go by the name with which he became a rap icon. After spiritual rebirth in Jamaica, he's turning his attention to reggae music and consequently changing his name to Snoop Lion.
Which isn't to say other rappers couldn't do the same if they wanted to.
Twitter is the best place to look for suggestions for a new name, especially under the #UpgradedRapperNames hashtag, which was inspired by Snoop's decision to change his.
Some of the most popular suggestions are included below. Above is the trailer for Snoop's “Reincarnated” documentary (in which he explains his new name and why he's quitting rap), which we somehow missed the first time.
