Mashup: Siti Nurhaliza vs. Snoop Dogg (!)

No, that’s not my buttcrack peeking out at ya, that’s an exclamation mark enclosed within parentheses. Anyway, check out dJ phuturecybersonique’s mashup of Siti Nurhaliza vs. Snoop Dogg.

Which reminds me of DJ Prince’s most totally excellent mashup, Snoop Dogg vs Eddie Cochran, C’mon Everybody Let’s Drop It Like It’s Hot.

So, what do you think?
