Singh is King: SNOOP, yes, D-O double G

So, I had heard that Snoop had gone and gotten himself into some Bollywood stint awhile ago. I believe this was around the time that I had found out that Snoop was actually touring around Australia and that he would be in Sydney for a concert. To be honest, it doesn't really excite me much that Snoop's going to be there but Bone Thugs have got me pretty hyped.

Since I really don't care much for what happens with Snoop, I thought I'd go ahead and do some investigation into his indian venture. Don't get me wrong I love Snoop but I really do not like the fact that he's gone and done it.

I shall not go further untill I get through the lyrics for this song because I believe it all starts there, as in all my questions about the reason behind it were answered ....starting HERE:

Yo, what up this big snoop dog,
Represent the Punjabi,
Aye ya,
Hit’em with this
RDB, DPGC
Akshay and Snoop D O double G..G
Oh yeah, singh is king, this is the thing,
Did you know what I mean?
Follow me,
Listen to me for a second, check it
Singh is the king ..check the records..
Yaari hai jaan ena di, vakhri hai shaan ena di,
Hasna pehchaan ena di, taiyo aye duniya kehndi,
Yaari hai jaan ena di, vakhri hai shaan ena di,
Hasna pehchaan ena di, sab milke kehde ne..

Who duniya pe chad gayi nishaniyan ne,
Duniya de ban gaye singh badshah,
Par sabto uncha, oh sacha badshah..

Yeah, Im just a king,
Sitting on my throne all alone,
Can you dig what I’m saying?
Bring me some grapes over here babe,
Singh is king ,
And snoop DO double G is also the king,
You dig what I mean?
I have seen the video, and put it this way, if you are not a fan of Bhangra, AND a fan of snoop, it might kill you. As with the lyrics, basically, the bits in red are the parts that I absolutely hate and the rest of it is in Hindi so I dont get it anyway, but I am looking at this from a Snoop p.o.v yeah. Only fair since I dont really watch Hindi movies(except for when I was back in KL because they play it on tv with Malay subs), dont speak or understand it and do not listen to Bhangra. I also do not listen to Heavy Metal. That's just me.

For the love of God, what is UP with the wad up wad up stick it stick it?! This is NOT acceptable ...NOT from CALVIN BROADUS.

WHAT HAPPENED?! What happened to the good old days of hanging out sippin on gin n juice.
*sigh*




Okay so I have always found ways to argue things to myself for the sake of my own inner peace. And this time, I have decided that Snoop did it for the money. I mean who wouldn't? He would have really been treated like a king, been entertained by lots of gorgeous Punjabi chicks, all that and a paycheck at the end. And for what work at the end? To rock up and spit out that crap?! I mean, Warren G DID do a track with TOO PHAT. And we all know their aunt had fame and I think they came from a pretty wealthy family so they paid him to do like, a specific number of verses, and he didn't even come down to KL to record it. These idiots actually flew their crew to the states to film. OF COURSE LAAAH got chance to with mister G mah down at the long beach...u kno.....like that la.

SO SNOOP...you are indeed a wise businessman. You're diversifying yourself, trying to penetrate different markets. I get it....will never even download an illegal copy of it off the internet so you can guarantee I won't be guilty of copyright infringement :D I'm all for celebrities and their obscene wealth.
