Snoop Lion
News Americas, NEW YORK, NY, Fri. May 24, 2013: Popularity sometimes trumps talent at least when it comes to the reggae Billboard charts.

Snoop Lion formerly Snoop Dogg’s version of reggae may not sound like reggae to many diehard fans of the genre but he’s definitely on top of the Billboard Charts.
Snoop debuted at number one four weeks ago and is holding on to the spot with ‘No Guns Allowed,’ featuring rapper Drake off his album, “Reincarnated,” which debuted on April 23rd.

Snoop took the number one spot from an all White group of singers who have been dominating the charts for weeks, including Rebelution and Matisyahu.
Snoop has also insisted he’s truly a transformed Rasta and only has loving energy for all his critics, including Bunny Wailer who recently questioned whether it was all hype for Snoop.

“To me, it’s a test, to see if I’m really made for this,” Snoop recently told Rolling Stone magazine.
