Defsounds

Snoop is back in the news again today after teaming up with Bollywood star Akshay Kumar for the video for his song "Singh is Kinng", taken from the upcoming film of the same name. He is accused of being "culturally insensitive" and people haven't taken too kindly to the hip-hop veteran wearing the traditional Sikh outfit off a sherwani and a turban.

The rapper doesnt seem to be trying to offend anyone, instead saying that he appreciates the India culture.

“I really dig how much music is infused with the movies” in Bollywood, Snoop Dogg said in an e-mailed response to questions. “Lots of hip-hop tracks sample Indian music, and a lot of their music sounds like it was influenced by hip-hop,” he said. “We’re putting together something real big” in India, that will include collaborations, live shows and “more movies with some of my Bollywood homies. I’m coming to take over Bollywood,” Snoop Dogg promised during the video shoot. “I’ve never been able to come over there and do shows for you all, but now I’m going to come and do shows.”

The rapper closed by saying,“Snoop Dogg’s got love for everybody. I like how the Punjabis get down; the way they dress is fresh and they got a real appreciation for music.”
