(Warning: Several reviews are made in this review to the lyrics of Gully Boy's soundtrack, it would not be possible to translate them without diluting their original meaning.)
" Dhanda kuch nahi, bas garam hello garam hai Angaar hai "- The 46-minute soundtrack begins.
It's time. It's time for the world to reach the Gully. The artists of Gully. The sound of the Gully. The atmosphere of the Gully. It's time.
" Asli hip hop mutates Hindustan ko"
And with that, let's dive into the album of 18 tracks of Goya Boy by Zoya Akhtar, in the process. be badimilated to a story of the rise and rise of Mumbai rap / hip-hop ravine. Are you ready? Because it's going to be a crazy race.

Long before Zoya Akhtar publishes the first look or the first trailer of Gully Boy, but well after the announcement of the film, videos of Ranveer Singh striking (impromptu) with rappers based in Mumbai started to do the tour. recommendations section on YouTube. He wore a brown suit and hat, combed himself as usual with his tense mustache and mingled in the crowd like he was not a celebrity at all. But Ranveer Singh's ability to metamorphose seamlessly into his characters is not the subject of discussion.
The culture, jargon, jargon, and trends of Mumbai rap were a unique phenomenon that few people were aware of until the release of a (a) documentary by Disha Rindani Mumbai 70 (presented for the first time at the MAMI Film Festival in 2014) and b) the very popular song of Rappers Divine and Naezy & # 39; Mere Gully Mein & # 39; – also chosen by Ranve from the title to rap in the video. The original song of Naezy and Divine (turned into seasoned artists and now veterans of the genre) became viral in no time, quickly becoming the song to follow whenever someone mentioned Mumbai, rap and hip -hop in the same breath. The sociocultural relevance of what was then known as "gully rap" exploded. It was only time that Bollywood intertwined.

C is with great pride at the time. As an avid Mumbai rap / hip-hop fan, I must tell you that Ranveer's version of " Mere Gully Mein " is not the best song of the album. Gully Boy . Quite far from it actually. Why pride, you ask? Because in a soundtrack that boasts Ranveer Singh's raping (for the first time), and highly admired artist songs like Raghu Dixit, Ankur Tewari and Jasleen Royal – that's the pbadion and the love of gender that stands out and that have priority
This is an eclectic set of soundtracks, all of which point to one thing (not a star, nor a Bollywood, nor a mainstreaming of gully rap) – Asli hip hop milestones Hindustan ko & # 39; ; Asli is the key word.
Ranveer's version of & # 39; Mere Gully Mein & # 39; may be considered a tribute to the original, but its incorrect mix is significantly different from that of several other original pieces of the series. album. Looks like Ranveer just crushed the original song – and while it might work for a live Instagram, it does not happen in an album. It's good for karaoke. Fans of Ranveer, hold your horses. He redeems himself totally in the next piece, "Doori's 19459008". Written by Javed Akhtar, Divine and composed by British producer Rishi Rich, "19459008" Doori & # 39; is insightful and emblematic of the duality of life in Mumbai. This is the most contextual song of the soundtrack, giving those who have not yet reached a peak in the gully rap world a socio-cultural context. & # 39; Ek duniya mein do duniya, ujala ek andhera / ek sethji aur ek chela / kahi toh moti main mahal, koi jee raha hai akela / kahin toh dibbe local mein, hai rehle pe hai rehla, inki haan & # 39; – sings Ranveer, and compared to his version of & # 39; Mere Gully Mein ' It's a percussive hit. You can feel : this is the par excellence song of Mumbai
The best thing about the soundtrack of Gully Boy is that no song seems stretched. Each track is well paced; in fact, very often, you miss it more.

This is often the case of the two most brilliant titles of Dub Sharma – Azaadi & # 39; and & # 39; Jingostan & # 39 ;. Politically relevant and true to the origins of the genre (hip-hop is widely regarded as an expression of rebellion), " Azaadi" and " Jingostan" will make you feel as part of a revolution. This could be partly due to the fact that & # 39; Azaadi & # 39; was written during the JNU-Kanhaiya controversy that erupted in 2016. Dub Sharma merged Kanhaiya's [ azaadi speech, which was resumed. by Divine for this album. & # 39; Jingostan & # 39; has the sound of an anti-establishment song: " 2018 hai, desh ko khatra hai !! " exclaims Dub Sharma. These are undoubtedly the two best songs of the album.
As a listener, you have a break in ripping rap with melodious numbers such as "19459008" Song Train & # 39; (from Raghu Dixit), & # 39; Jahaan Tu Chala & # 39; (by Jasleen Royal), & # 39; Goriye & # 39; (from Prem & Hardeep), & # 39; India 91 & and & # 39; Jeene Mein Aaye Maza & # 39; (by Ankur Tewari). Some work, but others do not. & # 39; Song Train & # 39; and Jahaan Tu Chala & # 39; do not seem to belong to this soundtrack, without thematic relevance. It is possible once the film is out, we will find a relevance. & # 39; Jeene Mein Aaye Maza & # 39; as an indie song is lovely, but what do you do on Gully Boy's soundtrack? It would be better for a film by Konkona Sen Sharma.
For those of us who followed the music of Divine, " Sher Aaya Sher & # 39; is a happiness. It's a typical divine number, filled with rumblings and its signature. Rappers like Kaam Bhari and Ace present their talent in titles such as " Kaam Bhari", "Har Gham Mein Khushi Hai". Ranveer's other rap songs, & # 39; Kab Se Kab Tak & # 39; and Ek Hi Raasta & # 39; are on the same level, because these songs testify to his talent. They are rappers who have been part of the underground underground scene for years. You do not need me to remind you that Ranveer is a Bollywood actor. But above all, you feel the brotherhood. These artists have been brought together for a larger purpose.
The album Gully Boy is a game changer (just do not ask my song what is my favorite).
