Hip Hop is NOT a Trend!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"hiphop\" Originality is something today\u2019s world lacks in every shape or form. We love to remix <\/a>the old sh!t.\u00a0Whether in business or in music. But in hip hop, every other person who is managing to bring their struggle into question is getting some attention. People are listening to that and appreciating it on a\u00a0personal level because they can somewhere, somehow relate to it. However there are many artists\u00a0today that claim that they are rappers and are “hip hop” altogether but Desi Hip Hop wouldn\u2019t really\u00a0agree with them. See, saying a few words in your song that refers to alcohol and rhymes is definitely\u00a0not hip hop, that\u2019s just some rhyming words (sometimes not even that) you see written on the back of trucks in our desi culture. I mean\u00a0if these mainstream artists who consider hip hop a toy to play with and a phase and a trend,\u00a0they are gravely mistaken. It\u2019s a feeling and feelings never go, they remain, but people eventually die.<\/p>\n

\"hiphopppppp\"<\/p>\n

The whole of Bollywood<\/strong><\/a> somehow now wants to rap. As Bohemia<\/strong><\/a> reminds us how he brought\u00a0Kali Denali<\/strong> in the picture in 2006 and the whole industry somewhat had some problem with it.\u00a0Then when he produced stuff for Akshay Kumar couple of big musicians in Bollywood has their\u00a0reservations but we still see how he stirred the whole idea of Rap in the industry and now everyone\u00a0wants to be hip hop where we all know who really is. Even today Kali Denali and stuff that followed\u00a0according to its roots still gives that feeling of hip hop not the new stuff that every other \u2018singer\u2019\u00a0wants to portray and call it rap. They should totally give that crap a wrap. There\u2019s no lyrical stance\u00a0there\u2019s no mood there\u2019s no goose bumps.<\/p>\n

A Worldwide Phenomena\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Believe you me, even today, 17 years after Tupac<\/strong>\u2019s death<\/a>, his song “Only God Can Judge Me”<\/strong> shakes my soul, let alone\u00a0give me \"Hip_Hop_by_K_RiM_Startimes2\"goosebumps. Now that\u2019s hip hop, not what they define it as. It\u2019s simply not a phase and its\u00a0disrespect to the whole genre to consider it so. If this whole phenomenon was just limited to just being a\u00a0phase, it wouldn\u2019t have existed in New York, California, the whole of US<\/strong> for\u00a0past 3 decades or so and still going strong. It also wouldn’t be a genre performed and celebrated by people all over the world<\/a> – Europe to Africa to Asia<\/strong>. This is some education that needs to be told to the music\u00a0industry in Pakistan, India, Bangladesh<\/strong> and other countries who are trying to confine Hip hop into a box, make\u00a0money and then later throw that box away. It just doesn\u2019t work that way. But the beauty of it is, that\u00a0even today the best of hip hop starts from just a pen and paper. If you have the mind and have seen\u00a0some reality which you portray to the world got the wisdom you are in. And Desi Hip Hop is with\u00a0you. Real recognize real.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Mic is on Your Court<\/strong><\/h2>\n

And if there are some real street poets out there they can send us their poetry, we wouldn\u2019t have an\u00a0issue publishing it because we got real fans on facebook and our website, we don\u2019t pay for keeping\u00a0this family because generally families don\u2019t pay each other to build bonds and stay together, it\u2019s a\u00a0relationship of love and respect. We are looking for the same. The mic is on your court, grab it, make use of it, and send us your music. The time is now.<\/p>\n
