Snoop Dogg records Snoop Dogg Millionaire

Controversial American rapper Snoop Dogg is the latest international celebrity to join the Slumdog Millionaire bandwagon.

Soon after Pussycat Dolls recorded their version of the Oscar winning Jai Ho, news is in that Snoop Dogg has done something similar with the help of Tanvi Shah whose vocals appear on the original version of Jai Ho.

The track called Snoop Dogg Millionaire has Tanvi Shah singing samples over his rap. She can be heard singing “Kahaan se aaya aur kya ban gaya…. Yeh hai Snoop Dogg Millionaire.”

In fact Snoop has also released a CD-in lay along with the song which is very similar to Danny Boyle’s poster for Slumdog Millionaire and features Tanvi's name prominently.

Tanvi’s samples in Snoop Dogg Millonaire have a very Indian and Bollywood feel to it. And speculation is now rife that Snoop Dogg Millionaire will feature on Snoop’s soon to be released album Malice in Wonderland which would be a huge break for Tanvi Shah.

Tanvi who is currently in the US remained unavailable for comment but in a previous interview she had acknowledged that she had several big international projects coming up. In fact she is one of A R Rahman’s most frequently used artists and also performed at the 81st Annual Academy Awards with him.

Akshay and Dogg to shoot a video

Akshay Kumar is getting his kicks.

And this time it’s not with the martial arts at which he’s an expert, but rather with the kind of company he’s keeping.

BT had broken the news about his collaboration with American hip-hop superstar Snoop Dogg (who pioneered the ascendance of West Coast ‘g-funk’ rap) on a track for Vipul Shah’s Singh is Kinng. Now, the ante is upped by two steps. Snoop Dogg (also behind albums like Doggystyle and Tha Blue Carpet Treatment) and Akshay will shoot a video for the song at the cost of almost Rs 7 crores.

“The video is being shot by Snoop Dogg’s team and will be lavish. There hasn’t been this kind of collaboration between a big international music artist and Bollywood. If you see it in a wider context, this is very important synergy. The video and song will be on mainstream music platforms across the globe. Snoop’s presence will mean the audience base is much larger,” said Shah.

Has Snoop seen any of Akshay’s moves? “Yes, he has seen videos of Akshay’s dances and is very excited,” stated Shah. Meanwhile, Akshay is chuffed at the project himself. “The song has really turned out very well and I like it very much. It will be fun to shoot the video with a rapper of Snoop Dogg’s calibre. I have seen his videos and he is very impressive,” said Akshay.
Snoop was unavailable for comment, but a spokesperson for the superstar said, “Our entire team is is thrilled about the video as it will be something new for all of us. It will have Bollywood elements and we have seen a lot of Akshay Kumar’s songs to prepare for it.”
