    Hindi Rap Lexicon

    This one is a guest post by Anasuya Mandal and Pranjal Bordia, which has been built upon a discussion between Susmit Saraswat, Antariksh (me), Anasuya.

    We had claimed that English vocabulary in Hindi rap songs can be distilled to a lexicon of 40 words or less, and here's proof:

    1 Feel
    2 Fire
    3 Higher
    4 Desire
    5 Floor
    6 More
    7 Sexy
    8 Touch
    9 Kiss
    10 Hold
    11 Heart
    12 Break
    13 Love
    14 Crazy
    15 Dance
    16 Chance
    17 Beat(ing)
    18 Heat(/hot)
    19 Baby
    20 Night
    21 Party
    22 Burn
    23 Disco
    24 Darling
    25 Pleasure
    26 Forever
    27 Life
    28 Body
    29 Shake
    30 Move
    31 Groove
    32 Luck
    33 Need
    34 Rock
    35 Roll

    They couldn't reach 40, but we decided we would give the 5 remaining places of honour to Jai Mata Di Let's Rock
