What American rappers would look like if they were Indians

Indians love rap music.

We (most people) love Badshah. We (again, most people) love Yo Yo Honey Singh. And of course, everyone loves Arnab Goswami.

These great rappers of our time are heavily influenced by the American rap scene of the late 2000s.

Badshah, Honey Singh and Arnab felt a connection with these people and wrote about problems like sexism (See Honey Singh's life), race (See: Brown Rang), hood politics (See Arnab every night), and so on.

The modern Indian rapper feels connected to American hip-hop artists like Eminem, Justin Bieber, Drake, etc and this connection manifests itself in "remaking" Indian songs from the early 2000s with a faster beat, increased bass and about 80 words of girl trouble.

If Badshah was Vincent Van Gogh, then, "Kar Gayi Chull" was his Starry Night.

An artist recently tried to understand this deep connection between between India and rap.

He traced back the roots of these great American rappers, and unsurprisingly found their origins in the Hindutva movement.

Veer Savarkar's elder brother, in his most intimate work proved Jesus Christ to be a Tamil Hindu. Artist Aman Rajwansh reimagining these American greats as Desi Kalakars is just the philosophical conclusion to Savarkar's greatest dream.

Rajwansh is a graphic designer based out of Jalandhar in Punjab, and according to his Facebook page, loves to make illustrations, sketches and cartoons.
