The largest slum on the planet is actually in Mumbai India. Hip Hop is the voice of the have-nots and the oppressed. Makes perfect sense that rap music would resonate with the young people there. Salute to Divine and the whole scene. Hope it continues to grow 🙏🏾💯

He represent the Indian hip hop 👑❤️

[@grinchoi1]

Sooooo dope that they have an Indian representing. Been going to India all my life cause my fam is from there. So happy that Hip Hop has finally been embraced by people. Hip Hop culture is universal. It unites the 🌎! From South Bronx to Mumbai! N just to add on. I've traveled the world n the rappers that are the most known worldwide are Pac, Wu Tang and 50 in my experience.

I'm so lucky to present a dissertation topic on this side of the culture and how the New York sound resonates to this side of the world. Nas has always been a touchstone to evaluate the merits of other contemporary rappers at this time through which we can test someone's greatness in the game. I also understand that everyone has there own style and variance but alternative hip hop and its raw sound always gon' me top tier on my list. And I'm lucky that this will be my study for PhD course also. I'd like to thank everyone in the game rn. In Big Poppa's voice I'd like to recall, "Who thought Hip-Hop would come this far". India love 🇮🇳💜

[@grinchoi1]

Maaan I've been visiting India my entire life. I'm so happy that the Hip Hop culture is finally being embraced.

[@bryson0206]

Ekdum sahi!!!

[@quiet7632]

You're doing a PhD dissertation on this? You're 2 decades behind what's going on. This is just what bubbles to the surface. Indian/Desi hip-hop just took a bite out of the NY scene and the UK scene, but now it's back to being Indian again. Different branch.

Nas, Em and Jay were the first rappers I heard. And then when 50 Cent became famous in 08s in India it was all over! We literally had to backtrack 30 years of hiphop. It's magical.
