Reincarnated (2012)

Embarking on an odyssey of self-transformation, Hip Hop luminary Snoop Dogg partners with VICE for a profound sojourn to the rhythmic heartland of Jamaica. His quest is not only to reflect upon his storied past - a tapestry of triumphs and trials, love and loss - but also to undergo a spiritual metamorphosis into a Pop Reggae artist. Immersing himself in the Rastafari culture and Jamaica's profound musical and religious heritage, Snoop begins his journey with a visit to a secluded ganja farm nestled in the mountains, providing a glimpse into the shadowy intricacies of the island's drug trade. His explorations then lead him to Trenchtown and Tivoli Gardens, where the raw reality of neglected ghetto life and rampant police brutality in the wake of drug lord Chris "Coke" Dudus' exile is laid bare. A spontaneous jam session at the renowned Alpha Boys School, a wellspring for numerous Reggae talents, offers a lighter interlude. Opening the doors to his creative process, Snoop collaborates with Diplo and Angela Hunte, the genius behind the hit song "Empire State of Mind," on his new album. He shares intimate revelations about the impact of his best friend Nate Dogg’s death on his music, steering it away from shallow themes and towards a lyrical expression of peace, love, and struggles. He also opens up about his rejuvenated relationship with his wife and college sweetheart, Shante. The pinnacle of his journey is a pilgrimage to the sacred temple of Bob Marley, occupied by the Nyabinghi Rastas. Here, Snoop receives the same moniker bestowed upon Marley, cementing his bond with the legendary Jamaican artist and the Rastafarian community. Leaving behind his Gangsta Rapper persona, Snoop emerges anew, an emblem of serenity in a discordant world. "Reincarnated" is not a comedic venture into Jamaica, but a deeply personal and revealing narrative of an artist's pursuit of enlightenment in a world shrouded in shadows.

Reincarnated is a documentary movie featuring Snoop Dogg.
