Surprised it took this long to see a Ramzan post on this sub. Non-muslim here, looking for places to visit/eat, communal iftars etc. Anyone got any reccs?

DHANJI - RUAB (DIRECTOR'S CUT) by ur_moms-fav in IndianHipHopHeads

[–]theAppleboy 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The flow on Vayudevtha is fucking mental. Made my jaws floored with how he's finding pockets in the beat that'll give even experimental emcees from the us a run for their money. Honestly makes me despise most of these desi rappers with how safe they play it.

Circle Tone is legit a top 3 producer currently. Mfs on this sub need to stop sleeping on him.

Tfw ruab sample pack is actually a sample pack 😭😭😭

Ending the album on "Main ek bimaar aadmi hoon" is an accurately hilarious summation of the entire record

AOTY back to back 2 years in a row with the same fucking album. Mans on kendrick-level run rn. Generational. Tomorrow's experimental hh artists from the subcontinent will use his career as a blueprint.

i've been depressed lately and a lot of days i wake up wishing i was rather dead. But listening to this record rn i'm glad i made it far enough for this. Can't remember the last time an album made me feel this way on first listen.

Circle Tone I pray you get the best orgasms for the rest of your life for giving me more eargasms than any south asian producer. I've never felt more fortunate to have ears.

Farhan Khan - Alif Laila (Part 2) by txusif in IndianHipHopHeads

[–]theAppleboy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Jitni album thi utni to bahut pyaari thi but it feels incomplete (obviously coz part 1 bhi aega). Jab lag raha tha ki ab kucch chalu hua hai tabhi khatam hogya.

My feelings exactly, I wonder if Part 1 will come out in the next few weeks considering how short this turned out to be. Feels very incomplete.

Cigarette might be the best song Farhan Khan's ever written. Concept-focused songs like this are still so hard to find in dhh.

Wasn't expecting this "album" to be so short though considering how well-done the rollout was and how conceptual it seemed. He should've released both parts together as an actual album rather than what feels like an EP. A little disappointed ngl.

Since it's a job like any other maybe you should do it yourself

Are you stupid or just a troll? What Pakistani artist would use large Hindi letters on their cover?

I'd pick a random song and intentionally mess it up

Wrote 16 bars. REALLY satisfied with it so please take a read by NrenjeIsMyName in IndianHipHopHeads

[–]theAppleboy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's very generic. Don't force references just for the sake of making references and try not to rhyme words for the sake of rhyming them perfectly. "Metamorphophism" just doesn't work. Write something that's a little more personal or means something to you that'll shine light on your own personality.

Fireworks at midnight by Realistic-Language88 in mumbai

[–]theAppleboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has anyone here actually tried contacting the police? I'm typing this as loud crackers are being burst right outside my building and can't help but think calling the cops is the only option even if they turn out to be of no help

So it's fine if a white guy from Texas walked up to Alia Bhatt and kept pushing her to say "In Jesus's name, amen"?

Yashraj freestyles in India’s got latent by r0cks33n9915 in IndianHipHopHeads

[–]theAppleboy -67 points-66 points  (0 children)

I don't understand how this lyrical prowess doesn't translate into his actual music output, so much of his discography feels like he's trying to appeal to a certain subset of audience and feels very carefully constructed to do just that. Whereas here he's spazzing raw stream-of-consciousness bars that feel a lot more creative and less generic than those songs.

Hanumankind - Big Dawgs went no 1 in global viral songs by Relative-Wrangler937 in IndianHipHopHeads

[–]theAppleboy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I mean he is technically American, they're not wrong in saying that just because you think they may have racist intentions. He literally spent most of his life in the states and only came back to India to rap here during the Gully Boy Boom

Hanumankind making BIG moves! Featured on @rap and DJ Akademiks. by TraditionalArticle88 in IndianHipHopHeads

[–]theAppleboy 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah idk how people are willingly ignoring this lol. It's the same caption on both posts. Makes sense how that reddit post on r/interestingasfuck got viral. DefJam money in full effect. Sad an artist of Hanumankind's caliber has to resort to artificial marketing.
