KANWAR GILLA TRUE PANJABI RAPPERRECOGNISE Real TALENT!!!! He dont portray Panjabi's Drug Smoking, Gand on Videos, Sex. This is powerful meaningful respected PANJABI RAP. P2000 you should promote this guy. Having Khanda on your website and pushing Gand like "PESA NASHA PYAR" is in my opinion disgusting. But people will disagree. But its just my view. Please try to get Info on KANWAR GILL. He deserves a shot. www.mybindi.com/audio-video/karmacy-aashiqi.ramwww.mybindi.com/audio-video/karmacy-aj_kal_de_mundey.rmQUOTES" ........Kanwar Gill sums up his situation as an Indian American in the first lines of "Aj Kal De Mundey": "Punjabiaye zubaaney main tera put beganah," but proceeds to show that he hasn't forgotten the bhaasha, thanks to his bhua (aunt) in Punjab, with whom he lived for some time after his parents decided that the Bay area wasn't the best place for him to spend his formative years. Thanks to that period in particular, Kanwar claims, "my Punjabi is more like a heart attack; you can say a whole lot more in a sentence of Punjabi than you can say in a paragraph of English." Committed to paying homage to the Punjabi culture and language, Kanwar hopes that his rap will popularize the language just as African American rap popularized Black English. Exposed to both hip-hop and Punjabi folk music, he mentions Talib Kweli, Dr Dre, Surinder Kaur and Chamkila among his influences."

Yo I just heard that sample you posted. And I dont think he's all that. Infact I think he sucks. Bohemia sounds much better than him. So what if he is talking about "real" panjabi stuff like "Heer and Ranja"? And rapping about it, when there are countless GOOD/AMAZING panjabi vocalist who have done it on their albums.
And he aint even got a flow! So I should respect him just on the basis that he is rapping "goody/goody" stuff in PANJABI? Get the hell out of here. If I wanted to hear HEER / RANJA / Mirza songs I'd just pop in Surinder Shinda or Harbajan Maan. If you start "rapping" it in panjabi about stuff that other panjabi vocalists have already done, then you are going to get compared to them.
What bohemia is doing (I dont know him personally, and neither is he paying me), is different, unique. He is speaking to the North american youth and you can relate to it. And your take on his lyrics is that he is talking "gand" when it is reality. What about the panjabi singers who talk about "pesa nasha pyar"? There are countless songs written on getting drunk and flirting with underage girls. Why dont you get at them why are you singling out Bohemia?
If Kanwar was half decent maybe i'd respect him, but he sucks as a rapper, he has no flow and his lyircal content is mediocre. THis is from the sample you posted.
I aint' a hater but since you are blantaly dissing bohemia I thought this is the only way you'll understand.

Since you are making a lot of Kanwar posts and making it a point to hate on Bohemia, I thought I'd listen to these samples again. Hoping, maybe it'd grow on me. But good God he sucks. Its atrosious hearing this guy on beat. He's talking, not even rapping. Speaking good panjabi on a beat does not actually mean you are a good rapper. LOL and I just have to make a comment on this quote: "Committed to paying homage to the Punjabi culture and language, Kanwar hopes that his rap will popularize the language just as African American rap popularized Black English." LOL Just like African Rap popularized "BLACK ENGLISH" LOL what is that? LOL "Black English" is NOT used while writing a letter. You are disgracing the hiphop culture by labelling it "Black English". And shows how little you know about hiphop. There is no such thing as Black English. They are all speaking ENGLISH but just use a lot of slang derieved from streets. Just like how rockers have their own slang and us panjabis have our own. Better comparison would have been Latino hiphop, they do it real well by rapping in spanish on hiphop beats. And I think its just a matter of time before Panjabi hiphop catches on, and Bohemia is on the right track. Altough everyone has said, that panjabis have been doing this for a long time, since Apache Indian days.

I agree with everything your saying general! But apache Indian aint rap..(ok we can go into the whole toasting history, but fact is, is that hes a dancehall artist..not strictly rap).. And apart from Kanwal (who I dont think has any skillz, I'm sorry but he does sound like hes talking..and his vocals are way too high pitched/soft) I cant think of anyone who was rapping in punjabi.. Bomemia might not have innovated it, but unless someone else steps up to claim otherwise, in my eyes, he is the innovator of punjabi rap.. This guy dont come close to bohemia..seriously, I aint even met the dude bohemia (and I probably wouldnt like him as a person) but man hes got skillz..

HSMann I said, since "apache indian days". I remember hearing a lot of dudes in and around Toronto who started using panjabi lyrics in their raps. Not complete songs but incoporating panjabi lyrics like Apache did in Chok Dey and Movie Over India.
I'm not arguing with you, just explaining myself. However, we can both agree that this dude Kanwar is not as good as Assasin makes him out to be.

Ok. Fair points by both. Bohemia record sales will do the talking i guess. I respect what you both saying. But we cant all be the same guys. I prefer Kanwar Gill. Far as Im concerned he is much better.
I have 2 little brothers and I would have them rather listen to Kanwar than bohemia. Especially not viewing his disgusting video.

Ok, you know when you come across those p!ss take type of tracks, that someones done to take the mickey out of someone (e.g. LudaKrishna- american p!ss take), well thats what this guy sounds like; Kanwar Gill's voice is pathetic, sounds like the kind of guy you'd use on a 'spoof' type track, really poor effort.
His flow= zero
And the production's really amateur too.........

Im pretty hot with my Punjabi, but i stil have no idea what Bohemia is chatting about!
Nothing he says makes sense personally.
If you want a proper Punjabi rapper with a sick flow....look no further than Sukshinder Shinda.
Sanu Soni Lagdi is Shinda rapping in proper Punjabi, clear and with the right pronunciations.
But i suppose because Shinda ain't a gangsta he's not gonna be classified as a rapper or someone who can rap!

And on another point, if your pronuncuation is sh!t then personally your a sh!t singer/mc/rapper.

Have you seen the bhangra videos coming out of india, uk and North America nowdays? Plus with all that MTV, your hand must be constantly on the remote changing channels for them.
