Snoop is going to be a gateway for other people that may not be so into reggae and then they will discover Tosh and the others. Even though some of his songs may not be the best it's the message behind them and the fact that he has a wider audience which can be used to look into the classics if they end up liking some of his work and find out about the true greats behind reggae.
