Music Mughals

I've never really been a RAP fan. Somehow i thought it's not music. But now i realize its not the melody but the talent to be able to make sense in a short span of time with oodles of attitude that drives the RAP music industry.

I always believed blacks have Rapping in their genes. However just like the breaking of the myth 'White Men can't Jump', Marshal Mathers - popularly known as Eminem is a clear showcase of the fact that White men can indeed rap.

In his smash hit single - Without me, his last 2 sentences are : 'No matter how many other fish in the sea - it feels so empty without me'.

Yet another individual i have greatly admired is Freddie Mercury or Farrokh Balsara. Many would know his music from the band QUEEN.

It may be sometime before i can admire an indian musician at these expertise levels. If people say Norah is what she is due to her lineage - i think even though it seems she's stolen the best swimmers from her father, her music by itself on the international stage beats her father's music hands down 1 to 20.
