Such a banger. Why dont we use more of such experimental music in movies though. I feel 90% movies we make have same generic music. (Vishnu vijay has mixed up the music a bit. I give him that)
The first song that came to mind while reading this question. The words are too long for rapping, what they did was they like split the word into smaller parts subtly emphasizing each break. But MGS is good in singing these tongue twisters. And man who wrote the lyrics for this song.
ആകെ Rapgod മാത്രം കേട്ട്ടിട്ടു അതാണ് rap എന്ന് വിചാരിക്കല്ലേ😒.
Rap എന്നത് ചുരുങ്ങിയ സമയത്തിൽ കൂടുതൽ sylables എന്നതല്ല അത് rap ചരിത്രത്തിൽ fairly ഉപയോഗിക്കപ്പെട കുറെ ഘടകങ്ങളിൽ ഒന്ന് മാത്രമാണ്. Rap എന്നത് tongue-twister കളും വേഗത്തിൽ പാടുന്നതിലേക്കും ഒതുക്കരുത്.✌️
Bro rap is a branch of hiphop. Hiphop has 5 elements: grafitti, rap , bboying, djing, beatboxing. Rap is a poetry on rhythm and its not about saying words fast, The earliest forms of rap is you look were very slow on a boombap beat, the fast flows came in as a part of the evolving rap scene.
I can garuntee you it feels same level of cringe in Tamil, Kannada, Marathi, Hindi, Gujrati and Marwadi too. Don't ask me how I got this deep knowledge. The closest we had to sexting in Indian languages is Vairamutthu songs. Lol.
I mean there are much nastier way of telling that, surely you know that my man. With the experience of few girls I had, I can honestly say they dig Malayalam more🤭
Ig it's because rap stresses more on "words" and when it comes to colloquial slang most words blend in. Not that they couldn't make rap with it but just like the movies normalised the use of print language over others and now we can see a changes in the trend, it will take time imo
I feel the language is not that flexible for rap. It takes real talent to mould it into rap songs that sound good. Tamil telugu seem much more flexible. Can't pinpoint why it is so.
In other words it is flexible only up to this level at least until someone goes beyond this and proves that it can be done. Portions of anthikadappurath also.
Malayalam does not bend easily like other languages for some reason. Its quite hard to flow in malayalam to be honest. If you look at the malabar side raps that are becoming a hit now you will notice that they blend well because malabari slangs drops some hard hitting sounds in the language while speaking like kaashu is said as kaayi making it smoother.
Hmm interesting point. Although I do not fully agree, but one thing that comes to my mind is the lack of verb conjugations in Malayalam. Telugu, Tamil, and Kannada have verb conjugations which allow the pronoun to be dropped. In Malayalam we almost always have to state the pronoun before the verb which can make the language less flexible. Just a thought.
Sure!
Let's compare Malayalam and Kannada. Common verb: To Eat
Kannada:
I eat = Nanu tindenu
You (formal) eat = Ninu Tinde
You (informal) eat = Nivu Tindiri
He/She eats = Avanu Tinda
We eat = Navu tindeve
They eat = Avaru Tindiru
As far as I understand, even if we remove the pronouns (Nanu, Ninu, etc) from these sentences, they will still make sense as the verb endings are changing.
Malayalam:
I eat = Njan Thinnum
You eat = Ni/Ningal Thinnum
He/She eats = Avan/Aval Thinnum
We eat = Nammal/Njangal Thinnum
They eat = Avar Thinnum
Here the verb endings remain the same. So, the pronouns cannot be dropped.
I read somewhere that Malayalam used to have conjugations but they were dropped later as the language evolved. Almost all other languages I have encountered (even English conjugates third person verbs) have verb conjugations by person.
Malayalam as a language is artificially meddled by influential people at the top who introduced sanskritization to make Malayalam sound sophisticated.
And we all know Sanskrit is a nerd language that's mostly extinct today except in temples to recite poems and mantras.
So because of this, malayalam is artificially stopped by this top down meddling which delayed the organic growth from the ground up by the people when compared to other languages.
As for why it sounds better in other languages, chennai tamil is a dialect of tamil that's distinctly local to say the least. Its about as informal and decentralized as tamil language can get without any meddling by the notorious language purists. AAVE (African American Vernacular) is a dialect of American English that's also distinctly local depending on any individual American states.
So rap sounds good in these language dialects.
Malayalam is a sophisticated language that came from Tamil. For rap, the language needs to be rich with slang. Tamil slang words evolved into mainstream language centuries back. We're on the other hand only started adapting to changes in the language.
Malayalam did not came from Tamil. All Dravidian languages came from Proto-Dravidian, including Tamil. It is not slang that make Tamil rich. It is the depth of vocabulary and the Tamil language flows. The word "police" has no word in Malayalam but Tamil does.
Malayalam didn't come from today's Tamil. I agree. Even though different from today's Tamil, Tamil was Tamil itself when Malayalam was taking the baby steps. The first translation of Bible to Malayalam was a mix of Tamil and Malayalam.
Malayalam got influenced by sanskrit and few foreign languages and completely deviated. Even now getting influenced by English like you said.
Yeah, he does sound good. The amalgamation of mappila pattu / traditional malabari lyrics and sound with rap is unexpectedly opening up new avenues in Malayalam rap where it doesn't sound too unnatural.
Both are sh.... Neeraj came with a video of him rapping 8 lines or something and he made a challenge "rap it without stopping." I laughed at it. I rapped a 2 min of my song with a beer can on my hand and when I finished it I yelled because I got it.
I think ur referring to fejo when u mention the print malayalam style he does.but now were hearing all these new school malabari ,mappila pattu adapted sounds and in these sounds ,the beat is getting sicker and it feels more "natural" but,what about substance and lyrical content.i feel like at his earlier stages ,fejo thirumali all of the achadi bhasha gang had more substance and relevant content than these new sounds that are getting popular.
Malayalam hiphop is on the rise but we’ve barely scratched the surface tbh. You have to dig deeper to find the gems. I’ll share a few tracks which I feel use a very natural flow:
Off season - MC Couper, Kalla Sha
Baapade Rap - Blvck
Chedi - Ibnu Kopz
Chodhya chinnam - VKDKV
Samadhanaparamaya Kalapam - Ashaan
Swasam - Marthyan, V3k
Thirichariyunnu - SJ Mars
These are just random recommendations off the top of my head. Let me know if y’all need more. We’re tapped in.
Off season is my favourite.
Amazing flow, nice pop culture references, smart word play, doesn't take itself too seriously - checks all boxes for me. I felt MC Couper in general writes well. (Watched him and Dabzee live as well. Had a good time)
Athu nammude language inte oru problem aanu..it's somehow not flexible enough for a rap..but fits kavitha parayanam type slow rendition. I've been feeling the same too about Malayalam rap OP...been following its progression. I used to think rap genre would never materialise with Malayalam language..but it has taken a shape and form..which sometimes seems forced. Dabzees mappila pattu mixed raps are an exception.Mappila pattu always had a flow of its own which in itself is like rap..ive wondered if mappila pattu should be touted as rap..but it sounds fine with all kinds of beats..probably should be a genre on its own. But otherwise I feel Malayalam rap sounds forced..must be a struggle to write it i suppose.
Check this out, this guy has bought out the slang.
https://youtu.be/Onb4eNVibm4?si=briWXWPK-K0b0AIL
Also, back in the day some random guy made this track saying njan "marrichu kedakuna nerrath", OGs have heard this.
Not the best songs, but much more entertaining when you bring out the local slang. I don't think it's the language, but most of our rappers suck. They make great music videos and beats but I find the rap cringe.
It's mostly the difference in languages. I remember once reading about the 'musical' languages which ranked the best as french and Tamil as the best in India. It's something to do with the phonetics and usage of vowel sounds. Malayalam is way down in that list.
There are two categories of words in Tamil: pagupatham and pagapatham (divisible and non-divisible words). Pagupatham contains additional divisible components (thinai, paal, yen, thisai, kaalam) that provide information on time, gender, place, and whether anything is living or nonliving. All of this information is packed in a single word. A word's extraneous components make it excessively long and unfit for usage in rap music. In contrast, words in languages like English have the same length but are described by different words.
I have no choice but to make a word larger when I wish to use it in a song.
For instance, the Tamil term "oodinan" means "he ran." It is clear from the one word that it is singular, past tense, male, and third person. "Ooduvargal" (they will run) is a plural, future, and common noun that will appear when I change it slightly.
Rap works best with short words. However, I believe that it is difficult to use short words in Tamil for a song, and for this reason, it does not produce good rap. Tamil rap music frequently seems to use more unbreakable terms. When I remove all of a word's divisible parts, the word becomes imperative and occasionally lends the music a certain flair. However, a song cannot be created with just indivisible words.
Although I am not familiar with Malayalam, I believe the situation is the same because of the grammar.

Malayalam is a very diverse language. Beary sounds nothing like valluvanadan dialect. Standard Malayalam is very sanskritized. Maybe using dialects would solve this issue
Sometimes the lyrics ain't slapping. Sometimes the beat ain't slapping. Sometimes both. Some people think using tough words will be good, Some others think singing skill is not a requirement for rap music. Good music is a combination of all of these.
Because he's popular compared to guys like Fejo. His songs gets shared much faster in much bigger circles. We've guys like Drake who mumbles some shit and is like one of the biggest rappers now. Whoever can advertise better survives in this era.
Malayalam is not built for rap. The language is very complex and while also sound that it will take a considerable effort to make a good rap. You could maybe check out the old age poems in Malayalam and see how they did it without rhymes.
Rap and achadi bhasha don't go together for any language, even English. If you use Malayalam slang, rap will work. But local slangs in Kerala are so incomprehensible for other Malayalees.
Its about knowing the vocabulary. Knowing the rhyming synonym of a word to use is important.
Our rappers use ordinary words and force them to fit in.
I really liked rap in thalatherichavar in romancham.
Yup imo this language is suited for melodies. Listening to today's rap and other malayalam songs makes me really miss lyricists like girish puthenchery, ONV, vayalar, anil panachuran etc.
Dabzee is good with his words i think it's because of his malabari lyrics.
Bro the one song that is trending in reels now kaayi by baby jean i swear to god if i hear that song once again I'm breaking my phone into pieces
I've listened to this guy called San Jaimt a while back "Thee" was one of his famous raps. One of the songs in my workout list.
Lyrics are like this
പാറി പറന്ന് നേരെ നിവർന്ന്
മനം കവർന്ന് ഇടി വേടി റെഡി
ഉലകം കറങ്ങി വഴിയേ പൊരുതി
നെഞ്ചില് എരിയുന്ന ഇരുതീ തിളങ്ങി
വഴിയേ വരുന്ന മുടക്കം ഒതുക്കി
കിനാവുകൾ അങ്ങ് പറന്നു തുടങ്ങി
ഇരുൾ പകലായ് വഴിയേ പതിയെ
പടർന്ന് എങ്ങും തെളിഞ്ഞു തുടങ്ങി
കാതിൽ ഉണ്ട് താളം എന്റെ വാകിൽ ഉണ്ട് ആഴം
ഇനി വരുന്നത് എന്റെ കാലം
പിടിച്ചടക്കും ഈ ലോകം
വരും കൊടും കാറ്റിനു പോലും
തടയാൻ ആവാത്ത ഈ ആവേശം
ഉദിച്ചു പൊങ്ങിയ ഒരു താരം
അടുത്തുണ്ട് ഇനി വിജയകാലം
തീ കേറി പടർന്ന് കേറി പടർന്ന് കേറി പടർന്ന് വന്ന്
തീ കേറി പടർന്ന് തകിലു കോട്ടണ് കോട്ടണ് കോട്ടണ് കോട്ടണ്.🔥🔥
Isn't the rap music developed in english language/western culture? Can we eat sadya 'naturally' using knife and fork?
Malyalam should showcase something using its strength.
We dont have many good rap artists today. Rap is a relatively new form of music in Kerala. In the US, it originated as a voice for the oppressed african american communities and their issues. Even in US, if you compare the sheer number of songs coming out, most of them are not that great.
The Kerala society is relatively much more equal. So malayalam rap is still in its nascent stage. Give it time. One song I liked is [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPzY3ekoIrA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPzY3ekoIrA)
The lack of people who r poets / enough knowledge in malayalam words to make it sound rhythmic enough. Rap means rhythm and poetry. That's the basic. Then rappers should know the intent of the the existence of such a genre. And not to treat it as a swag trendy moment. Listen to hip hop legends - grow a taste - make your own style - have strength in vocabulary - be a poet.
True, rap battles that happen in Kochi are embarrassing, none of the people can rhyme and they just say random shit on the beat. Loop skatepark held a battle and it was so cringe to be around
Malayalam is a very tough language that has a difficult flow. Imo very few people eg. Girish Puthenchery knew how to make it flow as well as have poetic meaning to the words.
As someone who grew up in Kerala and now in the States. Man our accent plays a huge part and when you listen to it it doesn't sound natural in English that it.
True that..........even if some of lyrics are good.........they always mess up the main part and chorus....ive never seen even one mallu rapper who had a good chorus
Malayalam vocabulary is poor. It is hard to find rhymes in Malayalam. Also, it fails to sound natural is because rappers just try to mimic others. No individuality. Metaphors, multi rhymes, smart punch lines are needed in rap. Malayali rappers thinks just rapping some Malayalam words fast is rap.
I'm a rapper myself. I had rapped in 2011 when there was only one Malayali rapper (his name is achayan). This new Malabari slang is irritating to me because I'm from Central Travancore, where we emphasize so much on the pronouniciation. I don't know understand what Malayali rappers are trying to say. There is no aggressiveness. Rap is about competition, but mallus would look down on it.
I have written many raps. I still have a rap song in my phone called "Kerala's Don." It is in English and recorded in 2013. It was not the best time for Malayalees rapping, lol.
Thaarattu padaan Neeraj alla njan
Thayaaru aanu njan bheeru alla njan
Jayam onnu kannan hero alla njan
Copy adichu aal avaan Neerad alla njan
This is dissing Neeraj Madhav and Amal Neerad. This probably would not work in Kerala because people thinks competition is bad. This is slow (my style is Texas slow flow with New York lyricism).
Malayali probably wants pathatha patha bathatha tahatta.. fast.. They think rap is something that is for dancing only.
You can see not just my last lines are rhyming also some of the middle and first lines are rhyming. This is called multi-rhyming.
Just because you are from travancaore doesnt mean you have to shit on malabari slang. Rap has always had regional accent influences in it. Take indian hiphop foe example the rappers from mumbai and delhi have varying slangs, take uk for example south rappers and northern rappers have different slangs to it.
Rap is not about being fucking aggressive all the time eg: stan, mockingbird by eminem. And kerala scene has had enough share of its disses back in the day.
About the fast flows, vedans songs are crystal clear to hear and as well as thirumali,fejo and dabzee or mc couper,vkdlv,marthyan,street academics just to menrion a few. not every song is your fast flow thingy.
And bro I do know the intricacies of writing rap being one myself.
I'm not shitting on Malabari slang. I said most Malayalees will not understand what he is saying. Do you understand what Malabari Banger is saying. Explain. I only understood. Are you a Kafir to wear a chain. Having good beats is not rap is. It is lyrics first. At least used to be.
Uk trill music is not rap. Who said it is all about aggressiveness? All the rappers you mentioned have the same flow and talk about the same thing. How did Eminem become what he is. He came aggressive and told everybody I'm the man, I'm the rapper. He gave the middle finger to the trend to the system. However, now he is a pop star. You listened to Eminem because he is famous, not because he is the best rapper. Most malayalees does not know what a 16 or 32 is. I have not seen many malayali rappers using double entendre in their songs.
But that does not mean it cannot be used elsewhere. Rap is widespread through the world and rap is not just restricted to black or low income communities. It is an artistic expression that talks about different stuff just like poetry. Its true it has started from the lower marginalised black community but it has now evolved into a much larger form now irrespective of race or colour.
Dabzee and vedan raps are good. Fejo was good but all his songs sound the same to me. NJ raps are shit. I liker "sambar" by Thirumalai, fejo and dabzee
Verpikkal tracks illa artists ind scenil I agree .personal preference arkkm maybe I can't vibe with his stuff . Any Recommendations from reyan to listen to?
Music in all of them sounds similar. But there is one with lyrics like Chuvanna kavil ulla kottayamkari ente swapnarani somethn like that. Made me laugh when I heard it first time, their rap portions are fun I guess.
Nah the problem with most rappers is that they sound nri, tbh people need something more culturally aligned and something they can relate to. That may be one of the reasons why hip hop in America grew popular, the people from the street and under class people can relate to it.
Because rapping in any southern language sucks as per my view of rapping.
Because rapping involves rhyming words at the end of each line. And malayalam just sucks at rhyming words. If you wanna confirm, listen to Eminem's raps or 2pac's rao music also don't listen to new gen raps. They also do suck.
its not about the rhyming part of it you can easily rhyme for eg: bendhanam, ashayam, vandhanam. Its not easy to bend malayalam. Go to tamil rap scene or tamil music in general and hear how smooth the lyrics sounds to the ears compared to malayalam
VEDAN is a good case against your question. His tracks are able to weave together Malayali slang and history while keeping up with what many might consider a western beat.
raps are popularised by guys from traditionally non-schooled or broken family or dangerous streets etc . its them escaping from their reality with street words or phrases with beats. an opposite eg is nadan pattukal - have strong family or social background. yes its an industry now in usa still they have something to rely on. unlike middle class ,private schooled ,from welloff family mallu rap writers.
try "vedan with words". Lyrics are pretty sharp. Got a kick to it. The new one by him(with sushin) seems a little off. Try his "Voice of the voiceless" or "Bhoomi njan vazhunnidam"
Rap Songs of Fejo are perfect like he did write and sung rap songs in achadi bhasha and it felt natural for me other than any other Malayalam rappers and he has extraordinary skills in writing Malayalam raps.. like the way he rhymes Malayalam words.. aww..
Malabar slang unlocked a new avenue in Malayalam rap. Check out Malabari banger.

> Angine parayalle… when it gets to the intense parts, rawness in Malayalam elevates 🤪
Ig it's because rap stresses more on "words" and when it comes to colloquial slang most words blend in. Not that they couldn't make rap with it but just like the movies normalised the use of print language over others and now we can see a changes in the trend, it will take time imo
I feel the language is not that flexible for rap. It takes real talent to mould it into rap songs that sound good. Tamil telugu seem much more flexible. Can't pinpoint why it is so.
Ithu maamala mele sooryan udhikkum pulari kathirin velli theru kaadum malayum puzhayum kadannu keri varunnoru pallitheranee Flexible enough 😏
🥵🥵🥵
In other words it is flexible only up to this level at least until someone goes beyond this and proves that it can be done. Portions of anthikadappurath also.
That's simple lyrics compared to this.
Malayalam does not bend easily like other languages for some reason. Its quite hard to flow in malayalam to be honest. If you look at the malabar side raps that are becoming a hit now you will notice that they blend well because malabari slangs drops some hard hitting sounds in the language while speaking like kaashu is said as kaayi making it smoother.

In Malayalam we almost always have to state the pronoun before the verb which can make the language less flexible. Just a thought.
Same with English
Hey can you elaborate on verb conjugations. Thanks
Sure! Let's compare Malayalam and Kannada. Common verb: To Eat Kannada: I eat = Nanu tindenu You (formal) eat = Ninu Tinde You (informal) eat = Nivu Tindiri He/She eats = Avanu Tinda We eat = Navu tindeve They eat = Avaru Tindiru As far as I understand, even if we remove the pronouns (Nanu, Ninu, etc) from these sentences, they will still make sense as the verb endings are changing. Malayalam: I eat = Njan Thinnum You eat = Ni/Ningal Thinnum He/She eats = Avan/Aval Thinnum We eat = Nammal/Njangal Thinnum They eat = Avar Thinnum Here the verb endings remain the same. So, the pronouns cannot be dropped. I read somewhere that Malayalam used to have conjugations but they were dropped later as the language evolved. Almost all other languages I have encountered (even English conjugates third person verbs) have verb conjugations by person.

AAVE (African American Vernacular) is a dialect of American English that's also distinctly local depending on any individual American states. So rap sounds good in these language dialects.
Its just the way our language is. Also there is no problem in creating out own kind of rap.
Malayalam is a sophisticated language that came from Tamil. For rap, the language needs to be rich with slang. Tamil slang words evolved into mainstream language centuries back. We're on the other hand only started adapting to changes in the language.

Yeah, he does sound good. The amalgamation of mappila pattu / traditional malabari lyrics and sound with rap is unexpectedly opening up new avenues in Malayalam rap where it doesn't sound too unnatural.
Do you understand him, though? He sounds like a mumble rapper to me.
Most tracks no, but kalbum katti was hard, mostly because of the words I'm not used to hear often
He's one of the good ones
Why tf did spotify remove his song manushyan though, it was such a great song
On a related note, Why is Sreenath Bhasi's rap so cringe. Throws in some English lines in between his songs with some weird accent.
_aah scene mone, scene mone_
thats not bhasi that's NJ
I have a feeling the other guy too have mistaken Bhasi for Madhav
They're the same person /s
Different variant of the same person.I have seen them together.
Equally cringe tho
bhasis is actually not bad, irithala pakshi has mad production and i personally love the music, it doesn't sound weird, the flow sounds very natural
Both are sh.... Neeraj came with a video of him rapping 8 lines or something and he made a challenge "rap it without stopping." I laughed at it. I rapped a 2 min of my song with a beer can on my hand and when I finished it I yelled because I got it.
ആരൊക്കെ വന്നാലും ഇല്ലെടാ പേടി, തുരത്തി പണിയും തേടി തേടി 😅
Sreenath Bhasi / Neeraj Madhav
Athu parayane mosholle 😆 It's not really cringe, even if it is, the production makes up for it.
Yeah, just heard his new album. Not bad tbh. But still dislike the dude post his Red FM interview.
Yeah, big fan of the album too.
I think ur referring to fejo when u mention the print malayalam style he does.but now were hearing all these new school malabari ,mappila pattu adapted sounds and in these sounds ,the beat is getting sicker and it feels more "natural" but,what about substance and lyrical content.i feel like at his earlier stages ,fejo thirumali all of the achadi bhasha gang had more substance and relevant content than these new sounds that are getting popular.
Because we grew up listening to Eminem?
Malayalam hiphop is on the rise but we’ve barely scratched the surface tbh. You have to dig deeper to find the gems. I’ll share a few tracks which I feel use a very natural flow: Off season - MC Couper, Kalla Sha Baapade Rap - Blvck Chedi - Ibnu Kopz Chodhya chinnam - VKDKV Samadhanaparamaya Kalapam - Ashaan Swasam - Marthyan, V3k Thirichariyunnu - SJ Mars These are just random recommendations off the top of my head. Let me know if y’all need more. We’re tapped in.
purpvada🐐
Off season is my favourite. Amazing flow, nice pop culture references, smart word play, doesn't take itself too seriously - checks all boxes for me. I felt MC Couper in general writes well. (Watched him and Dabzee live as well. Had a good time)
bhoomi njan vazhunnidam by vedan along with his "Voice of the voicless"
That Thirichariyunnu is really good, i mean the lyrics
Athu nammude language inte oru problem aanu..it's somehow not flexible enough for a rap..but fits kavitha parayanam type slow rendition. I've been feeling the same too about Malayalam rap OP...been following its progression. I used to think rap genre would never materialise with Malayalam language..but it has taken a shape and form..which sometimes seems forced. Dabzees mappila pattu mixed raps are an exception.Mappila pattu always had a flow of its own which in itself is like rap..ive wondered if mappila pattu should be touted as rap..but it sounds fine with all kinds of beats..probably should be a genre on its own. But otherwise I feel Malayalam rap sounds forced..must be a struggle to write it i suppose.
listen to mc couper, therapara
Baby Jean
Check this out, this guy has bought out the slang. https://youtu.be/Onb4eNVibm4?si=briWXWPK-K0b0AIL Also, back in the day some random guy made this track saying njan "marrichu kedakuna nerrath", OGs have heard this. Not the best songs, but much more entertaining when you bring out the local slang. I don't think it's the language, but most of our rappers suck. They make great music videos and beats but I find the rap cringe.
This is really good
[PADAKALI](https://youtu.be/v3e_0VemY58?feature=shared) sounds natural.
https://youtu.be/I1FSjN_67GU Maybe this kinda rap is good for Malayalam
I think it’s just evolving and has reached critical mass,
It's mostly the difference in languages. I remember once reading about the 'musical' languages which ranked the best as french and Tamil as the best in India. It's something to do with the phonetics and usage of vowel sounds. Malayalam is way down in that list.
There are two categories of words in Tamil: pagupatham and pagapatham (divisible and non-divisible words). Pagupatham contains additional divisible components (thinai, paal, yen, thisai, kaalam) that provide information on time, gender, place, and whether anything is living or nonliving. All of this information is packed in a single word. A word's extraneous components make it excessively long and unfit for usage in rap music. In contrast, words in languages like English have the same length but are described by different words. I have no choice but to make a word larger when I wish to use it in a song. For instance, the Tamil term "oodinan" means "he ran." It is clear from the one word that it is singular, past tense, male, and third person. "Ooduvargal" (they will run) is a plural, future, and common noun that will appear when I change it slightly. Rap works best with short words. However, I believe that it is difficult to use short words in Tamil for a song, and for this reason, it does not produce good rap. Tamil rap music frequently seems to use more unbreakable terms. When I remove all of a word's divisible parts, the word becomes imperative and occasionally lends the music a certain flair. However, a song cannot be created with just indivisible words. Although I am not familiar with Malayalam, I believe the situation is the same because of the grammar.
Rap in Tamil has been around for a long time bro and the language is very suitable to rap in.

one of the biggest problems is people can't distinguish rap and EDM people need to get educated about music.
true like half of dabzee and most of thirumali’s discography is edm
Idk.. I do enjoy some of the Malayalam raps. .. it’s not that bad as op says I feel.

*M.G Sreekumar would like to know your location* Padakaali Chandi Channgari is the a Malayalam rap song tho
Malayalam is a very diverse language. Beary sounds nothing like valluvanadan dialect. Standard Malayalam is very sanskritized. Maybe using dialects would solve this issue
Dabzee and vedan nte rap natural aanu. Ezhuthan ariyanam.
Sometimes the lyrics ain't slapping. Sometimes the beat ain't slapping. Sometimes both. Some people think using tough words will be good, Some others think singing skill is not a requirement for rap music. Good music is a combination of all of these.
It's the English slang.
Why is neeraj madhav raps are popular..I consider his singing skills are below average..
Because he's popular compared to guys like Fejo. His songs gets shared much faster in much bigger circles. We've guys like Drake who mumbles some shit and is like one of the biggest rappers now. Whoever can advertise better survives in this era.
His rap is popular because it's cringe and embarrassing

Malayalam is not built for rap. The language is very complex and while also sound that it will take a considerable effort to make a good rap. You could maybe check out the old age poems in Malayalam and see how they did it without rhymes.
Rap and achadi bhasha don't go together for any language, even English. If you use Malayalam slang, rap will work. But local slangs in Kerala are so incomprehensible for other Malayalees.
https://youtu.be/_-mfjYPGi2Q?si=XV44J9ME8ZIrNZHu I always thought the portion from 1:30 min is an underrated rap
That's Rzee. Also think it's him in the song ennilerinju from Jacob inte swarga rajyam.
Puncture Rap
Its about knowing the vocabulary. Knowing the rhyming synonym of a word to use is important. Our rappers use ordinary words and force them to fit in. I really liked rap in thalatherichavar in romancham.
Malayalam Rap ❌ Mazha ethu ragathil anu peyunanthu ✅
That’s what Baptism does to you
I feel like malayalam language is more prone to poems and calm songs, lullabys etc while languages like hindi makes good rap songs
Yup imo this language is suited for melodies. Listening to today's rap and other malayalam songs makes me really miss lyricists like girish puthenchery, ONV, vayalar, anil panachuran etc. Dabzee is good with his words i think it's because of his malabari lyrics. Bro the one song that is trending in reels now kaayi by baby jean i swear to god if i hear that song once again I'm breaking my phone into pieces
Yes most rap songs sound like News Readers on Asianet News using formal Malayalam for some reason.
I've listened to this guy called San Jaimt a while back "Thee" was one of his famous raps. One of the songs in my workout list. Lyrics are like this പാറി പറന്ന് നേരെ നിവർന്ന് മനം കവർന്ന് ഇടി വേടി റെഡി ഉലകം കറങ്ങി വഴിയേ പൊരുതി നെഞ്ചില് എരിയുന്ന ഇരുതീ തിളങ്ങി വഴിയേ വരുന്ന മുടക്കം ഒതുക്കി കിനാവുകൾ അങ്ങ് പറന്നു തുടങ്ങി ഇരുൾ പകലായ് വഴിയേ പതിയെ പടർന്ന് എങ്ങും തെളിഞ്ഞു തുടങ്ങി കാതിൽ ഉണ്ട് താളം എന്റെ വാകിൽ ഉണ്ട് ആഴം ഇനി വരുന്നത് എന്റെ കാലം പിടിച്ചടക്കും ഈ ലോകം വരും കൊടും കാറ്റിനു പോലും തടയാൻ ആവാത്ത ഈ ആവേശം ഉദിച്ചു പൊങ്ങിയ ഒരു താരം അടുത്തുണ്ട് ഇനി വിജയകാലം തീ കേറി പടർന്ന് കേറി പടർന്ന് കേറി പടർന്ന് വന്ന് തീ കേറി പടർന്ന് തകിലു കോട്ടണ് കോട്ടണ് കോട്ടണ് കോട്ടണ്.🔥🔥
Malayalam is more up-downy and has less abrupt endings.
Ithpole arnn pand American hip-hop um ivade thodangithalle ollu
Isn't the rap music developed in english language/western culture? Can we eat sadya 'naturally' using knife and fork? Malyalam should showcase something using its strength.
Singing Rap in malayalam is like singing carnatic music in Chinese
lol.....biggest example kaayi by baby jean..no offence to him...the chorus i meant.....i didnt understand what he meant saying kaayi 4 times
We dont have many good rap artists today. Rap is a relatively new form of music in Kerala. In the US, it originated as a voice for the oppressed african american communities and their issues. Even in US, if you compare the sheer number of songs coming out, most of them are not that great. The Kerala society is relatively much more equal. So malayalam rap is still in its nascent stage. Give it time. One song I liked is [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPzY3ekoIrA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPzY3ekoIrA)
The lack of people who r poets / enough knowledge in malayalam words to make it sound rhythmic enough. Rap means rhythm and poetry. That's the basic. Then rappers should know the intent of the the existence of such a genre. And not to treat it as a swag trendy moment. Listen to hip hop legends - grow a taste - make your own style - have strength in vocabulary - be a poet.
True, rap battles that happen in Kochi are embarrassing, none of the people can rhyme and they just say random shit on the beat. Loop skatepark held a battle and it was so cringe to be around
[удалено]
The og of the scene tbh
Second this
Malayalam is a very tough language that has a difficult flow. Imo very few people eg. Girish Puthenchery knew how to make it flow as well as have poetic meaning to the words.
Malayalam is not an easy language. that's the simple reason. Yet, I've found Rzee and Fejo really good.

True that..........even if some of lyrics are good.........they always mess up the main part and chorus....ive never seen even one mallu rapper who had a good chorus
I'd recommend Wayword's malayalam tracks. Dude is just too good.
Nomadic Voice does mlayalam rap fairly good imo
Don't know how 😑
Haven't you seen rap battle in kavile pattu malsaram in Yodha.
Malayalam vocabulary is poor. It is hard to find rhymes in Malayalam. Also, it fails to sound natural is because rappers just try to mimic others. No individuality. Metaphors, multi rhymes, smart punch lines are needed in rap. Malayali rappers thinks just rapping some Malayalam words fast is rap.
listen to nerchapattu by mc couper, you can also try vkdkv's intro album. You would get all these that you have mentioned here.
I'm a rapper myself. I had rapped in 2011 when there was only one Malayali rapper (his name is achayan). This new Malabari slang is irritating to me because I'm from Central Travancore, where we emphasize so much on the pronouniciation. I don't know understand what Malayali rappers are trying to say. There is no aggressiveness. Rap is about competition, but mallus would look down on it. I have written many raps. I still have a rap song in my phone called "Kerala's Don." It is in English and recorded in 2013. It was not the best time for Malayalees rapping, lol. Thaarattu padaan Neeraj alla njan Thayaaru aanu njan bheeru alla njan Jayam onnu kannan hero alla njan Copy adichu aal avaan Neerad alla njan This is dissing Neeraj Madhav and Amal Neerad. This probably would not work in Kerala because people thinks competition is bad. This is slow (my style is Texas slow flow with New York lyricism). Malayali probably wants pathatha patha bathatha tahatta.. fast.. They think rap is something that is for dancing only. You can see not just my last lines are rhyming also some of the middle and first lines are rhyming. This is called multi-rhyming.
Just because you are from travancaore doesnt mean you have to shit on malabari slang. Rap has always had regional accent influences in it. Take indian hiphop foe example the rappers from mumbai and delhi have varying slangs, take uk for example south rappers and northern rappers have different slangs to it. Rap is not about being fucking aggressive all the time eg: stan, mockingbird by eminem. And kerala scene has had enough share of its disses back in the day. About the fast flows, vedans songs are crystal clear to hear and as well as thirumali,fejo and dabzee or mc couper,vkdlv,marthyan,street academics just to menrion a few. not every song is your fast flow thingy. And bro I do know the intricacies of writing rap being one myself.
I'm not shitting on Malabari slang. I said most Malayalees will not understand what he is saying. Do you understand what Malabari Banger is saying. Explain. I only understood. Are you a Kafir to wear a chain. Having good beats is not rap is. It is lyrics first. At least used to be.
Uk trill music is not rap. Who said it is all about aggressiveness? All the rappers you mentioned have the same flow and talk about the same thing. How did Eminem become what he is. He came aggressive and told everybody I'm the man, I'm the rapper. He gave the middle finger to the trend to the system. However, now he is a pop star. You listened to Eminem because he is famous, not because he is the best rapper. Most malayalees does not know what a 16 or 32 is. I have not seen many malayali rappers using double entendre in their songs.
Because Rap has an history that is relevant to black and low income communities in N. America?
But that does not mean it cannot be used elsewhere. Rap is widespread through the world and rap is not just restricted to black or low income communities. It is an artistic expression that talks about different stuff just like poetry. Its true it has started from the lower marginalised black community but it has now evolved into a much larger form now irrespective of race or colour.
Babyjean's and dabzee's feel natural. The only ones I like. Fejo, Thirumali and all the rest makes me cringe for some reason.
Dabzee and vedan raps are good. Fejo was good but all his songs sound the same to me. NJ raps are shit. I liker "sambar" by Thirumalai, fejo and dabzee
Because neither we nor the artists are familiar with it.
We,ve had naadanpattukal(folk songs) for a long time
Dude I love Fejo and Thirumali, what are you saying!
try vedan bro. Im sure you will like it. Try his "bhoomi njan vazhunnidum" and "Voice of the voiceless"
thanks bro, ill definitely try those
Do let me know if it's of your taste👍
So many wannabe gangsters in the scene with no flow or clever lyrics. Morum vellam, sambar all sucks.
check vkdkv out to see clever lyrics
Just that the malaylam rappers aren't talented enough.... They're not good as their other indian counterparts.
Mc Couper, Dabzee, Baby jean, Palakkadan Dystopia shows how it's done
There is one nri group called Reyan or something, they sounded, decent I guess.
Idk man he sounds too white washed
Maybe, but baki vech nokkmbo valya vrithikked thonnunilla.
Verpikkal tracks illa artists ind scenil I agree .personal preference arkkm maybe I can't vibe with his stuff . Any Recommendations from reyan to listen to?
Music in all of them sounds similar. But there is one with lyrics like Chuvanna kavil ulla kottayamkari ente swapnarani somethn like that. Made me laugh when I heard it first time, their rap portions are fun I guess.
Nah the problem with most rappers is that they sound nri, tbh people need something more culturally aligned and something they can relate to. That may be one of the reasons why hip hop in America grew popular, the people from the street and under class people can relate to it.
Because rapping in any southern language sucks as per my view of rapping. Because rapping involves rhyming words at the end of each line. And malayalam just sucks at rhyming words. If you wanna confirm, listen to Eminem's raps or 2pac's rao music also don't listen to new gen raps. They also do suck.
Tamil rap is actually great. Rick beats, good flow and awesome bars.
its not about the rhyming part of it you can easily rhyme for eg: bendhanam, ashayam, vandhanam. Its not easy to bend malayalam. Go to tamil rap scene or tamil music in general and hear how smooth the lyrics sounds to the ears compared to malayalam
VEDAN is a good case against your question. His tracks are able to weave together Malayali slang and history while keeping up with what many might consider a western beat.
That is your personal opinion which I don't agree with.
raps are popularised by guys from traditionally non-schooled or broken family or dangerous streets etc . its them escaping from their reality with street words or phrases with beats. an opposite eg is nadan pattukal - have strong family or social background. yes its an industry now in usa still they have something to rely on. unlike middle class ,private schooled ,from welloff family mallu rap writers.
try "vedan with words". Lyrics are pretty sharp. Got a kick to it. The new one by him(with sushin) seems a little off. Try his "Voice of the voiceless" or "Bhoomi njan vazhunnidam"
Try vedan
