Unlike popular notion, there are enough and more distinctions within rap music, says Baba Sehgal. Having performed with new-age 'gully' boys Naezy and Divine, Sehgal credits them for being individualistic with their methods. But the bandwagon that's followed, he says, will find it tough to make a mark if they merely mimic them.
"Like [today's rap artistes] I've also faced [tough times]. I belonged to a middle-class family and wanted to travel to Delhi to make a [career]. So, every generation [toils]. I've survived for three decades in the industry, not because I followed a trend, but because I created one. If you rap like others do, you won't go too far.
