The Doggfather goes to Jamaica, returns reborn as Snoop Lion. The story may sound like it warrants a cymbal crash at the end, but Snoop Dogg's trip to the birthplace of cultural icon Bob Marley was anything but a joke. The 40-year-old rapper, actor, entrepreneur and, yes, smoker, headed to the Caribbean island to write and record music, but he ended up with a documentary, Reincarnated, which debuts Friday at Toronto. (Watch the trailer above.)
