He's No Longer Snoop Lion OR Snoop Dogg

If you were still having trouble referring to Snoop Dogg as Snoop Lion, I've got some good news and some bad news. The good news: He's not Snoop Lion anymore! The bad news: He's not back to Snoop Dogg either. Instead, Snoop Dogg would now like to be referred to as Snoopzilla, just in time to announce his new album with Dam-Funk, titled "7 Days of Funk."

Putting aside the news of a new album for a moment though — Snoopzilla? This is kind of amazing. You can tell at this point that Snoop literally gives absolutely no shits about anything, because he's rich, has built a career on the fact that he can get away with smoking copious, ridiculous amounts of weed, and he made millions off a song where he literally just says "drop it like it's hot" a bunch of times over and over. If he wants to be named after a gigantic dinosaur, then so be it.

Anyway, on to the project: "7 Days of Funk" is a collaboration project with Dâm-Funk, and should be released some time in December. According to Snoopzilla, "We’re the babies of the Mothership. I’ve had funk influences in my music my whole career. Dâm-Funk is cold. He’s keeping the funk alive and I knew I had to get down with him." Fair enough, Snoopzilla.

You can check out their first single together, "Faden Away," below.
