Snoop Dogg's career has been reincarnated several times but on his literal new album Reincarnated the Snoop becomes the Lion or something - Frankly I can't keep up anymore – which doesn't lessen my unconditional love. Snoop has always been into gaming and his new video with with futurist cyborg MAJOR LAZER pays homage to gaming past with a Pokemon-like battle.

The track, “Get Away,” was produced by MAJOR LAZER and the two battle it out Pokemon style before joining forces to battle a stereo system circa 1980.

Snoop Dogg has long been dipping the chalice into video games. From being featured in True Crime: Streets of LA, Def Jam: Fight for NY, and don't forget the Snoop-Fighter Way of the Dogg and many more. Most recently the Snoop is in commercials for the upcoming Rayman Legends as if that game needy to get weirder.
