Flying Cows, Superheroes and the World's Fastest Indians

I really looked forward to these holidays. 12th standard was the worst year in all of my school life, for a huge list of reasons starting with hectic year, tests and exams every other day punctuated with an bad screw-up in the board exams. At least, I'm going to a decent college. *sigh*

I guess Civil engineering wouldn't be so bad. Despite rumours I do hope there are a few more people in my class who can communicate in fluent English and can pronounce 'Donald' the way it's supposed to be. You know, they usually say Donaaaald..Watevs..

And the holidays aren't so bright either. Ok,  April month was a blast. A month at Doha. New laptop, PS3, and epic food! ^_^
I'm back in Chennai, and all that I do these days is movies, anime, gaming, roaming, hogging. I thought I could live life like this forever. Oh yeah also started to hit the gym recently. Sad that there's this really pretty chick who can lift twice the weights I can. Bummer.

Damnit, I need to do something constructive to do other than making comics out of people who annoy me.

And I need some sleep. Become a fucking insomniac. Sheep will be counted tonight. Or..Cows.




Ok, that's kinda scary. If crow droppings are annoying I wouldn't wanna imagine..

What am I talking about? I always thought I had ADHD, I couldn't pay attention in class for more than ten minutes, probably why my board exam marks were so bad. Come to think of it , what is ADHD? :/ Attention. Deficit.. Why can't names be SIMPLER. A Dude Having Daydreams, there! How hard is that? Sheesh.

Ok, never mind I'm getting off topic.

What  I WANTED to post about was..


Yes, baby YES !
For those of you who can't recognize him, he's DEADPOOL , the merc with the mouth (and my favourite Marvel character), whom they fucked up at the end of X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Now Deadpool gets his own movie in 2014, played by Ryan Reynolds ofcourse. This shalt be epic!

This brought me back to my comic book days, and hence I downloaded nearly five gigabytes of Deadpool, and was reading all day. Ah, comics. ^_^

Anyways before I leave, this is a must-check song by Machas With Attitude (MWA) , India's undisputed best rap/hip-hop crew. The World's Fastest Indians, indeed!


Lyrics in description, knock yourselves out.
Aiite, I guess that's it for now, Peace out folks!

Goddamn Genres!

You know how they say rap isn’t really a genre of music? I’ve been fighting that a lot lately.
Let me show you an example. It all started when a friend of mine, Ms. Beanstalk posted this on my wall. (*sigh*, it all comes back to Facebook)
Stupid bitchure
I had to go up against atleast six metal-heads Ms Beanstalk, Mr Impotent, Mr Smartypants, Mr Somebody and Mr Kiss-ass to try and  fight for hip-hop’s integrity.
Haters, please read on.
The hip-hop shit you see on TV these days is NOT hip-hop. Shawty Lo , Gucci Mane, Soulja Boy – they aren’t rappers, they’re assholes. And all the fake gangsters who say ‘nigga’ every five seconds, they aren’t rappers either. Rap isn’t always about money, cash, hoes, drugs, sex, booze, unicorns and cars. Real rap music is declining in the world. Eminem , Lupe Fiasco, Cunnin’lynguists, Public Enemy – they are real rappers.
Next on to the metalheads.
Mr Impotent – Rap is effortless and is a piece of shit.
Not entirely true. It takes a little creativity to produce good beats and it takes a real brain to pen lyrics with a good flow and rhyme pattern and still make sense. Rapping ofcourse, takes less effort than rock and metal, but that doesn’t make it any worse?
Mr Impotent (again) –  metal is way better than rap. rap is crap.
I don’t get it. If screaming your lungs out as if you’re being brutally butt-rapped with ear-splitting noisy electric guitar, and mad drumming is awesome music … Fast-talking has to be.
Come on, people.
The drummer for Blink-182, Travis Barker jams and collaborates with so many rappers!
Public Enemy, old school hip-hop legends have worked countless times with Anthrax!
And ofcourse one of the most famous rap/rock collaborations.. Jay-Z and Linkin Park on the album ‘Collision Course’
When such legends get along together, why can’t we as listeners appreciate other genres of music? A real musician appreciates all kinds of music irrespective of the genre. There are good songs from every kind of music. It’s these ball-less dickheads who go on disrespecting other styles of music.
Mr Smarty Pants - @Shriraam I like Eminem. But i hate Rap. Same way you must love Iron Maiden but hate metal. You cant express more through Rap. Lyrics maybe, But music? Nah. Half the rappers perform on pre made tracks. There’s focus only on ONE artist in the stage. A band performance is different. You have to admit being a Rapper takes much less balls than a rocker?
Less balls? Lesser effort you mean. And that doesn’t bring down the creativity quotient any less. The only difference is, rock bands are all good one way or the other, it’s just the taste the matters. Rap? It’s either dope or whack. Relative differences based on taste is very less. The hip-hop industry today, 90% whack.
This brings me to the topic of the INDIAN underground music scene. Rock music and metal music is growing at an awesome rate. I’ve been to a rock concert and witnessed some truly talented bands Frank’s Got the Funk, Skrat, Borrowed Halos and so on. They host concerts and sell a decent number of CDs.
Hip-hop? Very less audience as it is, selling is a huge problem. Brodha V, in my opinion the best Indian rapper had to set up people in various cities in the country and then send copies of his debut album ‘Death Punch’ to sell. It did sell well, but this music needs a bigger platform. As hard as it is, people it would help if people had a little more positive attitude and respect all kinds of music.
We have very talented rappers and producers coming up in India. Hip-hop needs a stage in the nation.

Ressurection!

Hello folks and welcome to the abode of the serial rapper, where I quell my thoughts, my life, my updates – for god knows how long. I used to blog about 2 years ago and lost interest. Nah, I was just too lazy. And now that I have pretty much nothing better to do .. I’m back!
Some people who’ve visited this site might know me by the name  ’Azeron’. Welcome! And hopefully, I will be active this time!
Mehh anyways, here’s just a short intro to what I’m all about..
I’m a rapper, influenced mainly by Eminem, Cunnin’Lynguists, 2Pac, Jay-Z, Public Enemy, Ghostface Killah etc. I also listen to heavy metal, alt. rock, rap-core and big beat. And I don’t care about prejudiced people who say rap/hip-hop isn’t really a form of music!
Started watching anime too after a year-long gap! Naruto, Bleach, Code Geass etc.
And I’m a huge movie buff too.
Anyhow, about my background.. I’m 17 years old, from Chennai and I jus finished my high school.. Going to college ! A new life awaits me. New friends, new place.. Damn, it’s gonna be LEGEN-*ok never mind, it’s getting too frikking cliched right now*-DARY
I guess that should be enough for now , Stay tuned folks!
