The mix of Hip-hop, rock, bhangra is just awesome, with two members of ADF(Asian Dub Foundation) now in the band, I am expecting it to go way more hardcore, and might they will start talking about some of the issues around. <BR/><BR/>There is another guy named Bohemia who raps in punjabi (http://www.thepunjabirapper.com/).This guy got a good edge to his music, but the lyrics are more or less 50 cent kinda, all gunz, drugs and gals.<BR/><BR/>As long as these guys can develop an individual style, they can make it out , tho not with lyrics like "ice cream" thing.. need to get real, not cheesy <BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>naveenaVeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10420936530125596395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-1146050821447057182006-04-26T16:57:00.000+05:302006-04-26T16:57:00.000+05:30Just nitpickin':The most inspired songdid you mean...Just nitpickin':<BR/><I>The most <B>inspired</B> song</I><BR/><BR/>did you mean 'inspiring' instead?<BR/><BR/>Nandz.Saurabh Nandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00867453089820169282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-1146046449490755652006-04-26T15:44:00.000+05:302006-04-26T15:44:00.000+05:30Whenever blogger is behaving weirdly, go to http:/...Whenever blogger is behaving weirdly, go to http://status.blogger.com as they normally update any outages (scheduled / unscheduled) over there.Kapshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18313844922683303787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-1146022369686075792006-04-26T09:02:00.000+05:302006-04-26T09:02:00.000+05:30Can't you write short articles.Can't you write short articles.aintzaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04484592194604662580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-1145974424437807862006-04-25T19:43:00.000+05:302006-04-25T19:43:00.000+05:30"That very work ethic may have prevented second ge...<B>"That very work ethic may have prevented second generation Gujaratis from getting into 'faltu' things like making music."<BR/></B><BR/>I am sorry Rashmi, i dont buy this. Making music is an art and by terming it as a "faltu" thing you are insulting music itself, which is one of the most soothing thing man can do. Moreover, i think everything is important in one or the other way. If music has been faltu, then we wont spend so much on good music CDs. So please avoid insulting this beautiful gift of god to man.Day Dreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02778304876886352384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-1145955641111196182006-04-25T14:30:00.000+05:302006-04-25T14:30:00.000+05:30I cant relate rap with us Indians. I mean, as you ...I cant relate rap with us Indians. I mean, as you said, "Rap, after all, is an art form that originated from the pain of inner-city black youth." What happened to these people that might have paralleled "the pain of inner-city black youth"?<BR/><BR/>Why cant we just do what we are good at than try to imitate whatever's chick in the West? I see it like this: There is rap music and there is Indian pop music. There are a bloody good number of people in the US who make great rap music and we do not need any Indians, who are not naturally talented at it, to make awful rap music. The same goes for Indipop. How would it feel if an American makes Indipop music?... no... wait... would you still call that Indipop?<BR/><BR/>We make real good music and we dont need to imitate a brand of music that has no remote relation to us. Instead, let us invent new genres of music ourselves instead of integrating a foreign born genre into our music by just redressing it with an Indian flavour.Chaitanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05191432296325765105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-1145952723490425692006-04-25T13:42:00.000+05:302006-04-25T13:42:00.000+05:30Agree.

Well of course, there are softer rock bands too, its too huge a genre. <BR/><BR/>Of the current crop of desi rappers, Jay Sean seems to be promising. He doesnt carry that punjabi accent when he sings in English and his Hindi sounds smooth too. <BR/><BR/>I somehow cannot relate Gujarati with rap, and I havent listened to these guys. I hope they sound good.

Last time I heard that kind of reaction, a britney spears song was on the radio. Ah well.<BR/><BR/>Rap's for people who have something to say, usually its about their personal life, and its hard and its real and it has to be done, however much it hurts, and blogging takes too much time, so-- They rap. Way I see it anyway. And yup, been having issues with blogger too.<BR/><BR/>Be well.<BR/><BR/>The W of O.The Wizard of Oddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16979664336356974842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-1145935650353952422006-04-25T08:57:00.000+05:302006-04-25T08:57:00.000+05:30Like Karan Johar said " NRI is just a status, not ...Like Karan Johar said " NRI is just a status, not an identity".
