I’ve found one of the signs of the Apocalypse.  Or should I say Apocalypse-hop?

US rapper Snoop Dogg has made his debut in a Bollywood film which is being released on Friday. Dogg, whose real name is Cordozar Calvin Broadus, sings and acts in a romantic comedy called Singh is Kinng [sic].

Fusing hip hop and bhangra, Dogg appears in the film with leading Bollywood star Akshay Kumar, singing the eponymous title track. . . .  Wearing a tradition[al] Indian turban and a tunic, Dogg. . .sings: “This is Snoop Dogg/Singh is the king/This is the thing.”

The words in the song are a combination of English, Hindi and Punjabi language lyrics and rap.  [In t]he rapper’s introduction to the song. . . [h]e says: “Yo, what up. This Big Snoop Dogg. Represent the Punjabi. Aye ya, hit em with this.”

The photos of Snoop in a turban are priceless, but a video from what appears to be an awards show earlier this year is even better.  It’s one part Bollywood, one part MTV Raps, and one part fascist rally:

What’s up with Akshay Kumar’s Sammy Sosa chest thump?

Best part:  Snoop actually rhymes Massala and Dollars.  Heh.
