Allow me to introduce myself...

First and foremost, welcome to my blog, “The Urban Turban Post”. A couple days ago I was reading an “urban desi” article (on a well known Web site in the desi community) and frankly, it sucked. Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s a great site, I just think the “urban desi” section sucks, sorry. So after many hours of deliberation (more like 1) I thought I might as well create this site for those who think like me and the failures that don’t too, I guess. Plus what else do I have to do with my time - work, study, community service? That shits for losers. I prefer drinking, partying and occasionally engaging in pointless arguments (usually after drinking and partying) about politics, sports, women, and yes, the South Asian movement!

In the “Urban Desi” industry there are many artists (dj’s, rappers, singers, producers, etc.) that probably would have been a lot more successful if they had stuck to the traditional Indian path to becoming a doctor, lawyer or engineer. But there are some that have the great potential to surviving in this very opinionated industry (you know desi people love to talk shit) and actually make something of themselves. Notice I said “some”, that’s because I mean it, as of right now a handful at best. Now, I’m excluding those who I feel have already made it - Jay Sean, Punjabi MC, M.I.A to name a few. This blog isn’t really going to be about them or Bollywood (I have no interest in Bollywood and for those that do, go to the “other site” I mentioned). I’m more interested in artists such as Kidd Skilly, Nivla, Blitzkrieg, The Bilz and so on. These guys are the future of “Urban Desi” and I think it is appropriate to give them OUR (participate, damn it!) feedback, whether it be constructive or destructive criticism.

Now some say I have a problem they like to call “verbal diarrhea”, so let me just apologize in advance if I offend anyone. A fair warning: I have no intention of hurting you or your feelings, these are just my thoughts. But, if I do and your feelings actually get hurt, you are a pussy and you should just end your career now, seriously, quit. I’m just a regular dude hiding (hence no profile picture) behind the internet voicing my opinion cause I can (Thank you worldwide web).

Although I may come off as a “hater” (wait for my future posts), I am actually a strong supporter of the “South Asian movement” and would like to see it succeed here in the states. Therefore, when I find something of good quality I’ll give it its’ well deserved props, but when I hear something whack, please believe you will find me bashing it. Kanye said it best, “cuz we don’t wanna hear that weak shit no mooooooo”.

Okay, this has gone on long enough (see, verbal diarrhea). I hope you enjoyed it; there will be many more posts to come.

(Insert accent) “Thank you, come again!”
