Typical Punjab Police. Can't expect much more out of them. What is also disappointing is the fact that those "men" that stood around and saw the sarpanch slap this woman but did nothing. Bunch of cowards.
Black people can be prejudiced, but the practical definition of racism is different between blacks and whites. Black people can't take their prejudice and use it to oppress any other race in America or France. Black prejudice cannot be institutionalized in the way prejudice on the part of whites...
Not just now, but if you look at the growth of bhangra, Michigan has been one of the most important regions in America, arguably in the top 5. There is no midwest bhangra scene if Michigan teams didn't exist. But for some reason it seems like the state doesn't get much credit, possibly because...
Raleigh and Pittsburgh are up and coming regions, I think they will start to get credit as they develop. I may be wrong but I don't know if they have had a sustained presence in bhangra and historically had an impact.
From someone in the midwest the 3 places I think of for bhangra on the East...
From the outside looking in I think New York gets a lot of credit. Elite 8 has invited 2 teams from New York and I think SMD has gotten credit as one of the best all-girls teams out there too. Also, those of us who have followed bhangra for a while know the role Cornell played back in the day. I...
We all know Cali, Toronto, Vancouver and the Virginia area get the majority of recognition within the bhangra community. What are some of the most underrated regions out there?
In my opinion, the state of Michigan is at the top of the list. Michigan is the only state to hold down the entire...
Fell off after that guy Critical, who was nasty. The rest of the cypher seemed stale for me. The lyrical content and flow is recycled by the remaining guys, it is what you can hear anywhere. Doesn't excite me. Regarding racism, hip hop is an accepting culture. If you have talent and respect the...
On one hand I agree that this appeared to be a cheap ploy by the Gatka Group to get exposure and possibly money. I wish they would have showed more "traditional" gatka rather than eating glass and all that. But on the other hand I think the Sikh community tries too hard to gain acceptance from...
Ludacris killed 'em. There is nothing Drake can stand behind to at him. Ludacris is one of the most successful commercial rappers of all time. Top 3 easy as far as producing hits goes. And at the same time he has the respect of every type of rap fan there is. As far as Big Sean goes, even people...
It was a little corny for me. I guess the point I am making is creatively at Elite 8 they have not stood out more than NJ, SGPD, VCU, APD or any number of teams. The 2 areas they have executed is synchronization and formations. I don't think that is enough to deserve an invite.
Makes sense for Empire not to go to Elite 8. They do not have the dancing ability to win or even come close to winning. Empire has not changed their routine much at all for 4+ years. You can almost always predict what their routine will look like. It isn't even that they have a style they are...
This is beyond shameful for Sikhi. You can't call yourself a Sikh and spit on the very essence of the Guru Granth Sahib by discriminating against your fellow human beings. Also, as a Jatt, I am ashamed of the Jatts that are doing that to the "lower caste" people. They clearly do not know the...
