Hello World,
Back in May, Rapper Snoop Dogg announced that he would be releasing a gospel album. For those of you who are familiar with Uncle Snoop, as he is known to millennials, and his music, the gospel is the last thing I would imagine he would choose to highlight in his music. I’m not gon lie and act like I’m not a fan of Snoop Dogg. I’ve liked his music since he was a debut artist back in the ’90s. And that’s the thing…if you came of age when I came of age, back in the ’90s, as Snoop Dogg and I did, we have all evolved since then — and that includes our musical tastes. Back then, I wasn’t necessarily listening to gospel music, but now, gospel music is the music I rely on to give praise to my Father in Heaven. With that said, I can understand why Snoop Dogg now enjoys a good gospel groove! (I mean Snoop has a cooking show with Martha Stewart! Dude has undeniably evolved!)
But should he be making gospel music? I know a lot of people don’t think so. Here is what one of my friends said…
“You don’t find that just a little bit creepy? ‘Rev. Snoop?'”
LOL. The answer is “No.” I don’t think he is necessarily trying to save anyone per se through this gospel album ( I don’t even know if he is saved), but you never know how God can speak through somebody. I always say if God can speak through a donkey in the Bible, then God can speak through anybody! I simply think he enjoys gospel music and wants to express his affinity for the genre in his own album (and likely make some money too). That’s it and that’s all. I don’t know that I will look for his gospel album when it comes out, but if I happen to hear a song from the album, I will definitely listen to what he has to say. I’m not saying I want Snoop to be my pastor, but I think all music is for everyone. Snoop recently posted a snippet of his upcoming gospel album, which is reportedly almost done…Take a listen and let me know what you think…It’s rockin’ ta me!
Are you going to buy Snoop Dogg’s gospel album when it drops?
Any thoughts?
