WORLD WIDE STAR SNOOP DOGG BECOMES RASTAFARIAN - CALL HIM SNOOP LION . . . * * THIS REBIRTH IS HUGE IN THE NEW WORLD AFRICAN MUSIC WORLD ! ! ! * *

.

WE HERE AT WAGRadio SELDOM MOVE INTO A POLITICAL or RELIGIOUS MODE.

WE HERE AT WAGRadio HOLD NO POLITICAL or RELIGIOUS BELIEFS.

THAT'S NOT TO SAY WE DON'T HAVE FEELINGS OR IDEAS ABOUT RELIGION and POLITICS.

WE HAVE SPOKEN OUT RECENTLY AGAINST HOMOPHOBIC PREJUDICE IN JAMAICAN MUSIC (in fact we recently edited out homophobic lyrics in the choon "Take You There" by HEFLA NYAH).

WE HERE AT WAGRadio MAKE THIS OFFICIAL STATEMENT ABOUT Mr. CALVIN CORDOZAR BROADUS, Jr. better known as SNOOP DOGG BECOMING A  RASTAFARIAN AND ADOPTING THE AWE-INSPIRING NAME - SNOOP LION.

FOR A LONG TIME WE'VE HELD THE THEORY THAT RASTAFARIANISM WILL ONE DAY ATTAIN THE STATUS OF A MAJOR WORLD WIDE RELIGION PLAYING OUT ITS COURSE ALONGSIDE JUDAISM, CHRISTIANITY, BUDDHISM, MOSLEMISM, HINDUISM etc.

WITH GANJA (marijuana) HAVING A MAJOR ROLE IN THE SACRED RASTAFARI RITUALS AND THE LOVE OF WEED IN THE REST OF THE WORLD'S POPULATION REACHING LAW-CHANGING PROPORTIONS THIS "... LARGEST, MOST IDENTIFIABLE, INDIGENOUS MOVEMENT IN JAMAICA (as well as) the UNITED STATES, GREAT BRITAIN, CANADA and AFRICA" WILL BECOME (we predict) A MAJOR WORLD RELIGION IN SIXTY YEARS.
THE POWER OF THE NYABINGI DRUM (the root of Reggae) HAS ALSO BECOME A WORLD FORCE IN POPULAR MUSIC.  REGGAE ARTISTS' TOUR ITINERARIES OFTEN INCLUDE ASIA, EUROPE, AFRICA, SOUTH AMERICA IN A THREE MONTH TOUR.  A TOP JAMROCK ARTIST CAN PLAY CAPETOWN ONE NIGHT AND BERLIN AND BOSTON THE NEXT TWO NIGHTS.  

WITH THE PHENOMENALLY SUCCESSFUL ARTIST SNOOP DOGG ANNOUNCING THAT HE IS NOW A FOLLOWER OF THE BLACK MESSIAH, HAILE SELASSIE, FORMER EMPEROR OF ETHIOPIA, THE STAGE IS SET FOR OTHER NEW WORLD AFRICAN MUSICIANS, POLITICIANS and PERSONALITIES TO JOIN THE MESSIANIC MOVEMENT (its been around since the 1930's).

ALL OF US HERE AT WAGRadio WILL HAVE LONG-LEFT THIS MORTAL COIL (more than likely) WHEN  OUR PREDICTION COMES TO FRUITION.  OUR REAL HOPE IS THAT THE GENTLENESS OF THIS RELIGION SUPPLANTS ITS MISTRUST OF OTHER RACES AND ITS CULTURAL  HOMOPHOBIA BY THE TIME THIS WORLD FORCE COMES TO POWER.
