Apparently the 1 billion strong populace of India doesn't care for Western music. But all that is about to change...
...Because Snoop Dogg is heading to Bollywood. (Seriously?) He's just signed up wtih Cashmere Asia, a new Los Angeles-Mumbai entertainment company, in the hopes of bringing rap music to India. Snoop joins the ranks of other Hollywood heavy-weights, like Sylvester Stallone (seriously) who has agreed to appear in an upcoming Bollywood film.
Snoop Dogg, who likes "how the Punjabis get down" and adds that "the way they dress is fresh", already has an appearance in the title track of future Bollywood blockbuster "Singh Is King" (also: seriously?), on which he raps about "Ferrari's, Bugattis and Maseratis" and says "what up to all the ladies hanging out in Mumbai," while (most likely) simultaneously giving them a contact high.
The best part of all this? According to Cashmere Asia's co-founder, "We're introducing Snoop to a very broad audience that has never heard of him before."
Oh, snap! Sucks to be Snoop!
