Talkin about 'Rahman? or Raja?' they are two of a kind! Its jus like askin 'which is inevitable-food or water?' There has been hours of discussions all thru the night till dawn at the balconies of thomas hall, the stone bench at thomas hall, the lake etc in my purple days at MCC but we always ended up with the same answer.... BOTH!
Wot RAja/Rahman had and others Didn't?
One thing we all got to ponder is that these new young musicians didnt have was a tough entry. They had all the comforts of Techno frm childhood...
Raja from a very remote village frm TN,that too in the 70's where there was zero tech or communications and still made it big is 'one in a trillion'. One can just imagine the hard work and dedication he must have had in such a scenario!
Rahman too was from a poverty stricken family and was into the industry at a really young age. He never had a normal childhood and most of his days were spent in the studio. Heard this at 'Rendevous with Simi garewal'- Rahman was once caned by his teacher at a corp school in chennai for bunking classes and doing music at studios. The teached asked him to play in the streets and pick up alms instead of coming to school. Again his dedication blew him to world wide fame.
Raja and Rahman were made for music!
Yuvan seems a little promising at the moment eg-'Paesugiraen-Viva Gurls'. But he's still a kid. Just a hit here and there.
True, but not all people who like Rahman like Raja and vice-versa.
yeah... but we were frm a breakeven period where our young age went with George michael/phil collins/u2, our pre-youth went with raja, our early youth with rahman an now goin with the digital age of harris yuvan and the gang. We were blessed to have the best of three decades.
From raja--->rahman--->now
From tape--->CD's--->mobile mp3's
