The 11 Worst Genre Changes By Musicians

The new Snoop Dogg album...ahem, I mean Snoop Lion finds him changing musical genres and attempting to make a reggae album.  Snoop is not the first artist who has changed genres.  Many have tried...many have failed.  By the massive amount of weed Snoop has smoked over the past 20 years...reggae isn't a far stretch from what he's capable of.  Others have not been as fortunate with their drastic musical changes and probably regret them to this day.

Here are the 11 Worst Genre Changes by Musicians:

1. Chris Cornell:  Grunge Rock to Pop
2. Garth Brooks' Chris Gaines: Country to Alt Rock
3. Dee Dee King:  Punk Rock to Hip-Hop
4. Jewel: indie rock to country
5. Norah Jones' El Madmo: light jazz to artrock punk 
6. Beastie Boys to Country: Hip-Hop to Country
7. Kid Cudi to WZRD: Hip-Hop to Rock
8. Lil Wayne Rebirth: Hip-hop to Rock
9. Darius Rucker: alt rock to country
10. Katy Hudson to Katy Perry:  Contemporary Christian to mainstream pop 
11. Ryan Adams' Werewolph, Orion, DJ Reggie: rock to death metal, electronic, and hip-hop

The 11 Best Snoop Dogg & Dr. Dre Duets

Why is prostitution illegal? Who gets hurt in the process? The prostitutes who make $100 an hour? Hell, that's more than I make. The Pimps who get a percentage of the take? Are they really doing anything different than an agent or lawyer? The people who pay the prostitutes? Well, if you go out on a casual date you could spend more on dinner and a movie and still not get laid. At least with a "pro," you go home satisfied. A recent report announces 1 in 4 teens have a STD. Whereas if you have sex with a prostitute, you're chances of catching something is 1 in 20. You could say it's because of the social stigma. If that's the case, then why is one of the most watched reality shows about hookers? Why do we worship rappers who act like pimps and rap about hooker sex?

Who really cares? Oh that's right...Jesus cares? But wait...isn't that a tad hypocritical, considering his girlfriend was a hooker?
