Journey of 'RAP' in India
Among five elements of Hipop, Rapping is one of the fundamental elements.
By late 1960s',Rap was a slang term refering to an oration or speech,Such as was the common among the 'Hip crowd' in the protest movements. But it did not comes to be associated with a musical style for another decade.
By late 1970's ,Rap as a Genre began at block parties in New York City by MC.
And From Here Rap started a journey and start spreading all over the World .
By late 1990s' The Idea of Rapping Ignited in India.The Indian Pop singers started analysing the Rap language, its flow , The person Who ignited this scintillating idea is non another then Baba Sehgal.
Baba Sehgal is a world's first professional Indian hindi rapper, first pop superstar of india & first international award winner Indian singer in nonfilmi category fro mtv us, mtv asia & v channel.His First Rap song 'Dil Dhadke' was released in the 1992.
He sang so many Rap song during 90s' decade
Some of his best Rap songs are
Thanda Thanda Pani in 1992
Bombay city ka sapna in1993
Manjula in 1994
Ke mai jhut boleyan in 1997
He made his own genre and given a wide scope to new comers ,but his Rapping was not appreciated by people of India
After few years A new rapper emerged to appreciate rap culture who is non another than 'Bohemia'
He Dropped his First album (Vich pardeshan de ) in the 2002 .
Bt this album was not accepted by the audience.
Again he dropped his another album (pesa nasha pyaar)
It didn't became that much famous but people start listening him. And in the Year 2008
He got a chance in film ( Chandni chowk to China) for a title track . After this movie he Start recognising by the people.
Every body knows him ,Yes He is non Another than Yo yo Honey Singh.
When the struggle was going on to incuse a genre Rap. Honey Singh was also in the race . He was inspired by baba Sehgal,Bohemia.He started his career by the song 'Peshi' in 2005
Bt it didn't get famous , After one year he dropped a song 'khatke ke Glassy' , people like the song ,but still he didn't get any recognition.so in the same year he released an adult song ch**t volume to attract the audience.
As expected people like the song as well as Honey Singh got recognition .
Then He created the first Indian Hipop group named 'Mafia Mundeer' nearly in 2008.
This group gave identity to new rappers
As like Badshah,Raftaar,Ikka,Lil Golu
Thier first songs are
Badshah - Mai Aagya
Raftaar - Sadko pe khali pili
Ikka - Main Hun Ikka
Lil Golu - Bum bum bhole
And Suddenly in 2012 mafia mundeer got seperated . And they start releasing thier singles , People Start liking thier songs. playing thier songs in pubs ,clubs,dj,s .
When this all was going on ,
A new rappers emerges from
different cities of India Mainly Maharashtra,start rapping in thier local language .
And In 2019 movie 'Gully Boy ' gave recognition to all those Gully Rappers .
And Now Indian Raps doesn't need any recognition .
So This was the whole Concept of Journey Of Rap in India
