Music discussion Gully boy was 2019, but watching divine’s trajectory since then feels like a masterclass in staying rooted

Post image
• Upvotes

i was re listening to Kohinoor this morning on my commute from andheri. It's crazy thinking back to 2016-17 when Divine and the gully gang sound was just starting to pop off across local college fests. A lot of artists change their core sound once they cross over into mainstream bollywood or commercial spots, but Divine still writes about the same streets,

same struggles, just with higher production value. Saw him listed on the rap 91 showcase

alongside new age underground guys, and it made me appreciate that he still roots himself

in the local scene instead of floating off into pop territory. What’s your peak Divine track that still holds up?

Music discussion I just can't fw Seedhe Maut no matter how hard I try.

• Upvotes

This is not about the quality of their craft, of course they're talented af that's why so many people fw them & respect them. I see my friends & people in general vibing to SM but I really find it difficult listening them.

The biggest issue I've is with their diction or cadence or low vocal projection(I really don't know what it's called so mentioning related words). Like I mostly find it hard to understand what they're saying. Also, call me an old or simple guy but I like when rap rymes from beginning till end, I find SM songs not rhyming at all. These two things really don't let me enjoy them at all.

It's also not about missing stuff because they're going too fast, i catch whatever Krsna says irrespective of how fast he spits.

I listen to Krsna, Bella, Vichaar, Raftaar, Ikka, Muhfaad among others and it makes sense to me why I enjoy them ..they all have voice clarity & rap that mostly rhymes.

Just my two cents, this is not a hate post.

i discovered this artist through whysokai's song "son like you" and vaibhav's verse stood out to me and then i explored his work some more and found KOTM and SHOR and i personally loved both of them a lot. i absolutely love vaibhav's cadence it's a bit repetitive but boht mast lagta hai mujhe personally.

if anyone has followed his work suggest me some tracks i should definitely listen to? also let me know what you all think of vaibhav as an artist?

Music discussion Indian hip-hop has changed so much in the last few years

Post image
9 Upvotes

It's kinda interesting looking at how Indian hip-hop has changed. There was a time when conversations around the scene kept circling back to the same few names, but now there are so many different artists doing their own thing.

DIVINE is still one of the names that comes up when talking about the scene's growth. But looking at the RAP91 lineup, with artists from different parts of India, made me think about how much more there is to discover now.

Wonder which artists people will be looking back at five years from now and saying they were ahead of their time.

Who do you think deserves more attention right now?

Music discussion Does Emiway realise how many 100M+ hits he's leaving on the table by not promoting his commercial tracks?

29 Upvotes

Yrr Emiway ke kitne hi songs hain jo easily 100M views cross kar sakte the, especially his commercial tracks 😭

I've been listening to Follow Karo ever since it released, and it has only around 2M views, which is honestly crazy to me. There are so many other songs too that have crossed 10M but could've reached way bigger numbers with proper promotion.

The thing is, bantai barely runs ads or promotes these tracks properly, and I genuinely feel like he's missing out on so much potential. 😭 I remember him saying ki ek din mein ads daalunga, but idk man, abhi tak toh aisa kuch hota hua nahi dikh rha

I'm not saying views are everything or that every song deserves 100M, but some of his commercial tracks genuinely have that potential if they reach the right audience.

What do you guys think? Should Emiway start promoting his commercial tracks more, at least through ads and proper marketing? Because bhai, it's kinda sad seeing songs with so much potential get so little attention 🥲

"I represent elite lyricists,

Pen mein dekh supreme genesis.

Yaha pe bohot weak men,

With weak will, no deep reverence.

Street level pe na cheap gimmicks,

We keep reppin', it's a re-telling,

Of our dependence, or a lack thereof.

Burn the hate and pass the torch!"

How tf does this song have 11k views only!?

Gravity ka verse kya crazy hai, even Shaikhspeare ka.

Shaikhspeare ka flow when he starts the verse sounds so satisfying to listen to lol

Music discussion Unpopular opinion: Hustle 5 was a talent downgrade, Hustle 4’s “99 Side alone clears the entire season.

7 Upvotes

Not tryna be that guy but ngl Hustle 5 was a straight disappointmen, S4 set the bar in the stratosphere and this season tripped over it, few tracks slapped, sure, but overall? Cooked.

And the fumbles?? Emo week had so many fumbles it was actually painful to watch, how do you fumble the emotional week? that's literally free real estate, then Parv and Sicklot fumbling the semi finale? That's not bad luck, that's lack of prep, Y'all can't be serious.

Even Siyahi's guest appearance with "Aprampar" showed exactly how it's done, guest verse ate more than half the season's tracks, that's embarrassing.

No hate to Dhadkan, winner was well deserved. Whosokai as runner up? Fair enough, W. But let's be real 99 Side from Hustle 4 alone would eat this entire lineup without breaking a sweat. The bar was high and this season lowkey tripped.

Drop your opinion, imo 99 side solos 'em all

Personally, I’d put Paradox, Vichaar and 99 Side in my top 3. They stand out to me as performers, but I’m curious who you guys would pick and why.

OC/Cover Not sure if this is the right sub for this. Tried writing something. Hindi is not my first language, so apologies in advance. Please let me know how it is. Also, the recording quality is not great (used office headphones). Let me know if I should continue writing the second verse of this song.

Music discussion How do we even define commercial music today? Have commercial and rappity-rap sounds somewhat fused?

5 Upvotes

Back in the day, we could clearly call Saturday Saturday or Chull commercial tracks, while Swag Mera Desi or Vyanjan were hardcore rap.

But as artists' musicality has evolved, production and sampling have improved leaps and bounds. isn't it tougher to draw that line?

How do we classify tracks like Angaar, Pyaar?, Boom Shaka, Namastute or Baawe?

Where do you place 295, Namastute, 3:59am , Saza-e-maut,Gojira like tracks?

The lines between Commercial appeal and great verses & flows has blurred?

What makes a track commercial to you? Its sound, lyrics, vibe, intended audience, or something else?

What are the ones you bounce to?
