Snoop Taking Heat For Dressing As Sikh

by REIGN

FRIDAY AUGUST 1, 2008

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.”

Don't talk like you know. Michael Myers did the same shit for the Love Guru and got BLASTED for it worse than this little article. Shouldn't speak on topics you know nothin about. People need to stop playing the race card. 90% of the time it's legit, the rest people are just insecure and usin it as an excuse for shit.

Listen here B,
1st of all Michael Myers is a bitch & so are you,…2nd the fuck I’ma stand on the side line for when I want to comment. This was my opinion,. see the “post a comment” section? That’s were I’m entitled to express my self,…And I will say it again, Snoop got treated unfairly, Mike Myers portrayed a religious dude, off course they will blast him more,…now snoop just wore their closes, had a video shoot period,…he didn’t fake his acent or acted to be a Maharajah,…
Now since you about name dropping, Doesn’t Madonna dresses up like this (sometimes), she even puts the damn red dot on her for head,…so why they ain’t sweating her?
Please just fall back, do you & let the Big Dawgs politic,…

who the fuck cares, of course people gon hate and shit for no reason. its not like snoop is some highclass oficianado whos makes a living off of being politically correct. he was once a gangsta rapper who didnt give a fuck and dressed like the average dude in his hood did at that time period. im pretty sure he dont care if some people took offense to it. and if you took offense to it, you blinded or naive.

wordup snoop, i aint really with the curly slippers or 6x flowery robes but do ya thang man. wonder if he will stop in INDOnesia when he goes overseas.

Its sounds real crazy and is mad funny but think about it in a business sense. India is a country with BILLIONS of people (not to mention $$$) and its a market totally untapped by most mainstream artist.

Granted Jay Z did a song w/ the Punjabi MC like 6 or 7 yrs ago for the Bad Boy 2 soundtrack. But Bollywood makes dough cuz its a film culture that prides itself on being a billion dollar industry exclusive to Indians.

Okay people from other countries including India wear jeans and shit and borrow from our culture all the time but when we do it it's "culturally insensitive". This shit is sooooo stupid.
