Yogi B & Natchatraz : வல்லவன் - Tamil Hip Hop

You can classify them under any genre R&B, Hip hop, Rap, Remix.. But Tamil Rap is gonna flourish soon, that’s for sure..Yeah! they call it as ‘சொல்லிசை’(rap). Heard their superhit song from my friend’s you-tube link. It was catchy at the first time itself and funny too.. And now they performed in Vijay TV some award program making an expectation of their cd release (at least from chennai people I think). Enough of intro for them. Surprisingly their tracks got a place in my iTunes playlist recently, so small review of their album.

வல்லவன் is their debut album, though not yet released. The band members are Yogi B and Natchatraz (Jesz and Dr,Burn, I think). Their songs has all the things of an international Hip Hop music, may be not explicit lyrics I can say. Also one more thing I notice is they do good mixing of old songs like most hindi DJs doing these days..and Raghav did it splendidly.

Among the 10 songs I got,I like these in the order:

1. மடை திரண்டு: This one is a feat with someone named Lockup Guna. Good remix and good rap too..This is the one sung in vijay tv awards. 5/5 rating.

2. சிவ சிவ: Feat with someone named Prema. This one is a devotional remix and good to hear too. A different approach though funny at first singing about hindu Gods in English..4/5 rating.

3. வழி தேடுது: This one is the same kinda gangsta rap scolding each other..this rap is simply superb and this rhythmic verse is very good:
நேத்து முழச்ச செடிகள் எல்லாம் அரசமரம் போல வாழ துடிக்குது
என்னை பகச்ச எதிரிகள் எல்லாம் என்னை வெல்லா வழி தேடுது தேடுது
4/5 rating.

4. Hip hop era: This one is also a good flick. Several good layers of humming are going behind the song is very nice. 4/5 rating.

5,6. Indian Girl & Kamasutra: Both of these has fantastic rap things. In Kamasutra the feat by Mogethen is good to hear. 4/5 rating.

All these six songs are in my ratedrap playlist of iTunes. This is a fusion of Eminem, Tupac, 50 Cent and as well as Raghav. To conclude, this album is good for those who like above hip hop artist albums (atleast you can get all the lyrics) and also for those who don’t listen to those who don’t like them becoz of gangsta English.

GURU - Not up to par

Finally got a good quality rip of guru, for which we had plans to sacrifice some bucks in PVR cinemas.. So nicely enjoyed the movie in my bed even with my dinner, as done in Gold Class for 500 bucks. So first of all that is a great satisfaction for me.
And now about the movie.. Much awaited, Much hyped movie Guru is the one which has to be enjoyed once..Thats it. Yeh, it is not up to the par what I expected. It may be becoz of the storyline - nothing to show differently and i dont know 100% hindi. But as usual AR Rehman - Mani combination rocks. Hope for the next one.

UNITED 93 - Must See Movie
{cinema}

I was thinking to write about this for long time.. This one is more like historical documentary or drama but easily admirable by anyone.. Yeah, most of my roommates who hesitate to see non-action English movies liked it. So a little bit about it..

From the Bourne Supremacy director - this 2007 Oscar nominated film, is a favorite movie of mine. It depicts the only plane United 93, which didn’t reach the target in 11/7 attack. So here are things which make this movie my favorite one: The plot, taking a movie about the hijack situation of a plane which doesn’t reach the target, I mean not taking the one which reached the target. The movie teaches us a lot..Clearly depicts things about Air Craft Traffic Control, Domestic Air Force service things like that. I just thought when our industry can make movies like this - still hero and villains fighting on train or airplane. I would say it doesn't make me to see it once more, but i am sure you will enjoy every bit of the film till the last. And this one proves it: Nominated for 2 Oscars, Another 15 wins and 19 nominations (taken from imdb).Watch this in the good AxxO Dvd rip given. So Enjoy!!

Coorg Trip - A must for Amatuer Trekkers

Being bored by reading so many Coorg visit blog (read almost all the Coorg blogs in Google first 2 pages), I don’t want to tell u story about what we ate in the dawn and how we sat in the van.. so precisely about our COORG Trip:

Decided only in 2 full time workdays and got sufficient members, the day before the trip. We got a van which has only Toyata Qualis embossed to prove it, thank God it didn’t wasted our time except some 15 minutes for some tire patch work !! Confirmed a separate house - 1500 bucks for 24 hours in Coorg before leaving.

First Day visits:
1. Nisargadama : Good to see the park, but not as special as in most of the blogs and websites. Boating in a swimming pool size pond and Elephant ride in helipad size area!! That’s it!
2. Tibetian Temple : Worth see, different culture and different paintings.. That God don’t want money to photo shoot it, yeah no restriction for Camera.. good to see the saints posing for Camera!!
3. Abbi Falls: Good site seeing, but can be also be seen in websites..Yeh, Bathing restriction ,I can say or no suitable location for bathing..Its like Stop, watch, go..
4. Camp fire in our home: The climate was cool enough to enjoy the warmth of camp fire..but not so good as we gave 300 bucks for that!! But any have enjoyable..

Second Day Visit (Tadeyendamol Trekking):
The most awaited journey started to reach Kakabe, from there packing up things we started through the steep roads of Tadeyendamol..Started at 12 we were able to reach half of the peak around 2:30 for energetic lunch, where we stood as three warriors aiming the peak!! Other four left back to base..we three survived to reach the peak at 3:30. Seems that Tadeyendamol peak is 5734 feet..not sure about it, I took this data from some other website..We came back to base at 5:30. Though this is my second trekking after Kodaikanal, this one is a good experience with only little time left behind..But only thing is the hilly way was not that cool and greenish as we expected.. Seems we went at the end of the season.. Anyhave it was a real thrilling experience throughout that 15kms trekking..

So here are my suggestions..Visit Coorg making sure of the season.. Seems it is better to visit before Jan..I would say tekking and that Tibetian temple are the best part over there.. So prioritize them fist..Next one, don’t rent house, better try to put a tent in the peak and that will be a stunning experience..

I have attached below my pics in Coorg Trip.. Just click on the pic to view the description..Pics in flickr
