Truth Hurts - Addictive; Hey, what's the name of the Indian song playing in the background?

Isn't it amazing how hip-hop has got indian music. Is it just Timbland or does this mean they're all at it? I recently discovered Petey Pablo's Raise Up with another great bit of indian / bhangra theft? And Oochy Wally?

*Not Indian, I know: Lebanese. Bedouin, really.

What I love about the use of Indian/Middle Eastern music on "Addictive" (see also: Foxy Brown's "Hood Scriptures") is how it steals not just from the specific sonics of the source, but also its fundamental performative alienness - the shivery drone of the sampled sigh and incomprehensible catewauling (at least from a Western perspective) are actually much more compelling in the service of POP than the by now familiar banghra riddims and flutes.

Plus, TRUTH HURTS! Did she listen to Latrelle's "Dirty Girl (Remix)" and love it as much as I did, or is this just a pure co- incidence, a separately concocted revival of trashy pop-soul?

Truth Hurts - Addictive... DISCUSS!

Sorry Kris, I *clearly* lost control of my critical faculties back there. Obv. I don't like it.

What appeals to me more is how *natural* it sounds - the slow- mo backing achieves a sort of reflected swagger (ricocheting off Truth Hurts' performance) that reminds me of that sultry trumpet on TLC's "Creep", although clearly it's very different. It doesn't sound at all like a revolutionary single, but a confident, sexy record, which is why I like it. In comparison all of the big recent Timba singles - with the notable exception of "Oops (Oh My)" - sound a bit too self-consciously like "the future"; "Addictive" is what happens when the future actually arrives and everybody gets used to it (or: it's clear that Destiny's Child singing about pagers is cool but *not* sci-fi. This is the same, musically). Truth Hurts herself isn't as good as Latrelle is on the Dirty Girl Remix, but I like the idea that the vocal/performance approach Blu Cantrell, Latrelle and Tweet have hatched up between them (reclaiming "soulfulness" from the purist bores in the service of pop and adding some trashy spice, or maybe dareisayit obviousness) is catching on. The problem with this approach: it only works with da pop production, and is harder to distinguish when there's actually "soulful" backing/ content (see Cantrelle's ballads). Maybe this new quasi- movement is purely contextual (this is why Tweet going almost totally acoustic on her ballads is classic: she neatly sidesteps the pitfalls... or rather, jumps over them to the other side). How Truth Hurts deals with it remains to be seen, obv.

Anyway, I didn't get any definitive information for my review, so I just called the thing a Bollywood sample. Someone at Interscope told me that he'd heard a rumor that DJ Quik got the sample off a TV show, which means that Quik himself might not have known who did it. I decided not to try to track him down; I thought it might be kind of insulting to ask him about Truth Hurts when his own album is coming out.

I'm confused by all the references to bhangra, since not only isn't this track bhangra, I don't think that "Raise Up" or "Get Ur Freak On" are either, though I wouldn't know. Or is "bhangra" becoming the general word for something that mixes any Indian music into western dance pop? For practical purposes the sitar - if that's what it is - on "Get Ur Freak On" might as well be a guitar; it's used just like an r&b/rock riff, like Hubert Sumlin's on "Smokestack Lightning" or James Burton's on "Susie Q".

The UK folks could help me here -- first I heard the term was about nine years back thanks to Melody Maker, of all things, with a couple of cool articles discussing what sounded like a thriving Anglo-Indian dance/pop scene. My sense of the context was that 'bhangra' had somehow evolved into a catch-all term to describe the resultant fusions. Perhaps this is very wrong? Anyone? I still have a few discs from acts and labels featured in that article that came out in America due to a licensing deal -- some of them are great listens still.

also, the song is good! ++

The lyrics of the song concerned , as far as I could make out ,is

Kaliyon Ka Chamand, tab bantha hai Thoda Resham Lagta Hai Thoda Shisha Lagta Hai Hire, Moti Larte hai Thoda Sona Lagta Hai

i feel quite proud of the fact that all the indian beats are becoming extremely mainstream now, its fun and it's about time, but if it's over exposed, it'll get real old real fast. as for bhangra, it is a very ambigous term now, but it's rudimentary aspect is the dance beat.

ok jus felt like voicin an opinion -

The name of the morning show is called The Mad Hatta Morning show and they were talking about the new controversy that is surrounding Truth Hurt's "Addictive" song. And the controversy has to do with the background beat of the desi lyrics "kithna sona hai, etc. etc."

Personally speaking, the song took a long time for it to grow on me because the desi lyrics didn't seem to mesh in well with the English lyrics, but I digress.

The desi lyrics in the song are from a song by Lata Mangashker (having the DJ's trying to pronounce that name was a trip in itself) and the rights to Lata Mangashkar and her songs are all owned by an Indian company by the name of Samajal or Samagal. Anyways, one of their representatives was in the US and heard the song "Addictive" and noticed the desi lyrics and suspected they were Lata Mangeshkar's. So, he looked up the song which he thought it was, and lo and behold, it was Lata Mangeshkar's song "Kaliyon Ka Chaman" (as stated earlier).

So this representative fella somehow "out of the blue" called up a lawyer in Houston and asked to help him sue Dr. Dre, DJ Quick and Truth Hurts, which she (the lawyer) is now doing. How the lawyer chose her, I have no clue and the lawyer wouldn't provide any more information regarding the method of contact on air. Funny thing is that the lawyer is a self-proclaimed fan of Dr. Dre and DJ Quick but said after hearing Lata's song, DJ Quick had completely ripped off the Lata song and only sped up the track. Usually when DJ's sample music, they change it around so its not exactly the same way it was in its original form (according to the lawyer). And, yes, once again, it was funny trying to hear the lawyer pronounce "Lata Mangashker" and the name of the movie that song was from (after a while, the radio station's DJ's gave up and just started to spell the names...L- A-T-A).

The best part of this whole experience was that for about 1.5 minutes, 97.9 The Box let the listeners hear the original desi song that was sung by Lata. The first desi song (almost in its entirety) being played on a famous Hip Hop and R & B station in a major city! It would have been funny if some uncle desi dude was flippin through radio stations and began to jam to Lata only to be followed up by Master P.

Btw, the term "desi" refers to anything that is of Southeast Asian nature.

http://www.muchmusic.com/muchnews/page.asp?thedate=7/12/2002#7 --- The Truth Really Does Hurt Rapper Dr. Dre’s Aftermath Entertainment is in settlement talks in regards to a song by his protégé Truth Hurts. Apparently the song ‘Addictive’ illegally used parts of an Indian movie soundtrack. The song that was sampled was, “Thoda Resham Lagta Hai,” by Hindu singer Lata Mangeshkar, from the movie “Jyoti.” Dre’s lawyers have said that at the time they couldn’t find the original copyright holders. Well, I guess they’ve found them now. We’ll keep you updated on how this legal battle plays out.

THANKS

A real indian!!!

"My sense of the context was that 'bhangra' had somehow evolved into a catch-all term to describe the resultant fusions. Perhaps this is very wrong?"

If that is true, then it's all wrong, yes. Bhangra is up-tempo, rhythmic Punjabi dance music, with very audible percussion - the "dhol" as someone mentioned above. You may have heard some Anglo- Indian bhangra - like Bally Sagoo - but even this is westernized and diluted in form from the original, or I guess you could say it's a wholly new genre of its own. Every song that utilizes Indian music certainly isn't employing "bhangra"; that would be like saying every Indian song that contained western elements was using "rap" - etc. "Raise Up" and "Ugly" were not bhangra at all, they were jacking musical interludes from Indian songs, I believe, as was "Big Pimpin'" - and speaking of Indian instruments, I'm not too sure if "Get Ur Freak On" really had a sitar in it, or something synthesized that just sounded like a sitar. It definitely had tabla in it though.

To see what real bhangra sounds - and looks - like, just wait for the film "The Guru" to be released this fall; one of my teachers was actually the choreographer for that. Jimmy Mistry paired with Heather Graham! We'll see how well it does (as a movie, and just otherwise), but in this climate, it's hard not to imagine that it won't strike up at least a small audience. Of course, let's not mention "Lagaan" (and "Monsoon Wedding" is not even qualified to count).

It's really odd to think that the woman who's most likely sung the most songs on this planet (that 40,000 figure may be a bit old - and she's been listed in the Guiness Book for most prolific artist), and whose voice has been enjoyed continuously, for over 60 years, by more than a billion people (1/6th of the globe!) remains an anonymous entity to so much of the rest of the world. As that AMG reviewer said, Lata Mangeshkar truly has "sung the soundtrack to millions of Indian lives" over the past century, and before I started getting into western music myself, even though I've grown up in the states, I listened to her just about every day of my childhood, as she was always an inescapabale presence at home. How can that voice be so endless, have so much unending power in it? One listen to "Tumhee Mere Mandir" can make any person want to die. And considering that the number 2 singer, Asha Bhosle (who was honored in that Cornershop song, though I found it a bit of an annoyance that they had a head- bopping black girl in the video and no referece to her whatsoever), is her own blood sister, and that their father was a singer too, that family surely must have some very magical DNA in it.

If you're interested in hearing more Indian film music (I am so worn out by the term "Bollywood," which I'm beginning to loathe at this point - look, it implies that Indians have absolutely zero creativity as they're just mimicking Hollywood and that just simply in't true, it is?) Look up anything you can on Lata or Asha, and while Bappi Lahiri (the music composer for this song from "Jyoti") is good, try to find anything you can on the legendary composers of the 50s, 60s and 70s such as Naushad, S. D. Burman and R.D. Burman - they were total geniuses, and represent the high-water mark for Indian film music, before everything became more bastardized in the past two decades. Those guys really understood eastern-western fusion but still knew how to make the songs sound uniquely *Indian* and they created some of the most bizzare, most weird songs out there with every instrument - eastern or western - you can think of inappropriately crawling or bursting into the mix at some random point! taking the music into very unpredictable twists and turns. Just search kazaa or whatever for Lata or Asha - try titles like "Chura Liya Hai" "Yeh Sama" or if you're brave, "Piya Tu Ab To Aaja" or "O Haseena Zulfon Wali" - probably some of the ultimate 60s songs in adventurousness. Kishore Kumar, Mohammed Rafi and Hemant Kumar are also excellent male singers you can search for, and Geeta Dutt is another female legend that you haven't ever heard - but should. Try to avoid most things from the 80s or 90s, in my opinion, since its just so watered down, but some of the more popular stuff of the past decade is actually better I guess. Watch Hindi movies if you can stomach them - just choose what you like then, as every movie is bound to have at least 6 to 7 songs, despite "genre" (there's only one genre anyway). I'd even recommend getting that "best of" compilation of Asha's that came out last year and is up on Amazon, but I really don't think a clueless ignoramus like Ritchie Unterberger, who chose "Lekar Ham Diwana Dil" as a highlight as if he (she?) really knew anything he (she?) was talking about. The song highlihgts on AMG are all whack too - how could you choose them from a sixty year career when you have no basis on the historical aspects of the songs, of what was really popular or not, or what the words even mean? - don't trust those. It's easy if you have Indian friends to borrow stuff from.

And now, the moment everyone has been waiting for (even though most people already know all this, apparently):

***KALIYON KA CHAMAN*** garden of buds

***TAB BANTHA HAI*** is made

***THORA RESHAM LAGTA HAI*** it looks (or seems) a little like silk

***THORA SHEESHA LAGTA HAI*** it looks (or seems) a little like a mirror

***MOTI LARTHAY HAI*** the pearls clash

***THORA SONA LAGTA HAI*** it looks (or seems) a little like gold

See you soon!

love,

kaliyon ke chaman jub bante hai...when garde on buds are made.. thoda resham lagta hai...it requires some silk... thoda sheesha lagta hai...it requires some glass.. heere moti ladte hain...diamonds and pearls clash.. thoda sona lagta hai...it requires some gold

that was my understanding of it :) i may me wrong ofcourse but a great sone none the less..orginal even better than the remix :P

"kaliyon ke chaman jub bante hai...when garden on buds are made.. thoda resham lagta hai...it requires some silk... thoda sheesha lagta hai...it requires some glass.. heere moti ladte hain...diamonds and pearls clash.. thoda sona lagta hai...it requires some gold"

Personally, being a major fan of the hip-hop industry, and loving to listen the Hindi/Western mix (songs such as Addictive, Oooche Wally Wally, etc.) I thought this was a nice, beautiful song and culturally bringing together the cultrually rich, beautiful Bollywood (Indian Film Industry) industry with the modern, up-beat Hip-Hop world. However, after seeing the video - it changed my whole opinion of the whole song - making me look down on Rakim, Truth Hurts, and QB's Finest for their song Ooche Wally What i realized what that the one thing all of these Artist commonly and negatively had was stereotypes. In the Addictive video they have belly dancers, talk about bad stuff if you know what I mean and act as if that is what Indian, Islamic, and Pakistani culture is all about. However that is completely untrue! Furthermore, belly dancing is not completely like that and is part of the Middle eastern culture whereas the backround music was sung by a renowned Hindi singer. Furthermore, the song's translation is of a beautiful indian wedding, and does not deal with sex, or any of that bad mumbo jumbo Furthermore, what happened to copy-rights and everything after the Napster and burning cd's scandel?? They forgot to give copyright to Lata Mangeshkar right?? It makes me mad, that although the song is bringing Hindi music to the American world - it is doing it negatively, showing the stereotypes that all I, and my fellow Indians care about is Karma Sutra and bad stuff such as that. Furthermore, these rap artists are doing it because it sells, gives them profits, and doesn't think Lata Mangeshkar will doing anything about it. I wonder when all of this stereotypical, quickie mart, apu, terrorist crap will end?

Jenn - it isn't the original version of the song, I don't think - I think it's the one Sonia is talking about

And Laura - as far as I'm concerned, it is a disgrace to the culture - people may be broadening their horizons, but only enough so that Indian culture becomes a trend

JYOTI(1981) Flame[jyoti]

KALIYON=Flower KA=of CHAMAN=flowery area TAB=Then BANTA=Made HAI=Is

THODA=A Little RESHAM=Silk LAGTA=Used HAI=Is

THODA=A Little SHISHA=Glass LAGTA=Used HAI=Is

HIREY=Diamonds MOTI=Pearls JADTE=Fit,Join,Inlay HAI=Is

THODA=A little SONA=Gold LAGTA=Used HAI=Is

KALI is a type of white half inch round flower worn on the back of the head by south
indian woman. KALIYON=flower of. CHAMAN is a flowery area with flowers everywhere, say
on a hilly mountainus area, like in Kashmir Valley, with grass and other greenery.
A `garden of flowers` doesn`t do justice to a lovely three letter word C+M+N.

LAGTA translated as `feels or looks like` is an obvious answer but when the next four lines
are taken into consideration with the first then the meaning becomes obvious. Like in many
languages this is one of those words which has different meaning in different sentences.
LAGTA means `costs` too. (Ek rupiya lagta hai, It costs one rupee). Here the poet is
trying to explain as to what is needed or used to make `Kaliyon ka chaman`. I`ve also
translated SHISHA as glass not mirror. i know `kaanch` is glass.

All of you also believe that after HIREY MOTI comes LADTE and not JADTE. I originally
thought its JADTE but after reading earlier posts i began to believe its LADTE too. After repeatedly listening i couldn`t tell one way or the other. My other half had no doubt
that its JADTE. It is difficult when the song is playing in the background but now that
i`ve got the original song i can sincerely say it`s JADTE(Join,Inlay) and not LADTE(Clash).

KALI`S COME INTO EXISTANCE WHEN A LITTLE SILK IS USED, A LITTLE GLASS
IS USED. DIAMONDS AND PEARLS ARE INLAYED AND A LITTLE GOLD IS USED.

(It is then that the buds bloom when glass,gold and silk are mixed together and diamonds
and pearls are inlayed into it.)

The poet has given a lot of importance to the flowers of KALI. They don`t grow that easily.
A little horse dung from the local farm won`t do. :)

The following are additional verses as sung by the `20 years old chick` (Jenn) on a new
cd/tape called UMI 10 vol 3 `kaliyon ka chaman` and the following verses are not part
of the original song. I doubt the actress on the screen is the actual singer.

***VERSE 2***

Itz a pretty haunting song ....UMI-10, VOL.3, U CAN BUY IT ON

http://www.indianblockbuster.com/

Apparently, no one remembered music composer Bappi Lahiri until one of his myriad songs from the 1970s sung by the immortal Lata Mangeshkar suddenly hit the international charts.

The song Thoda resham lagta hai thoda sheesha lagta hai was a mujra sung by the Nightingale and filmed on Aruna Irani and Vijayendra Ghatge in a Jeetendra-Hema Malini starrer Jyoti released in 1977.

The song was not a success on release. It came and faded quickly. No one had any recollection of it until the American rap group Truth Hurts used it as the basic loop in their chartbuster Addictive. Suddenly, the song was big news in India.

Says Lata Mangeshkar, "Quite frankly, I didn't remember this number at all. When I heard it in the number by Truth Hurts, I asked my family where it was from. They told me I had sung it in a film called Jyoti. I don't mind it being used in the American song because the band Truth Hurts hasn't tampered with my voice or the composition in any way. It is far more preferable to the remixes in our country. But I wish they would have credited me and Bappi in the song."

Lahiri who dropped into complete oblivion in the 1990s after scoring immitative hits in scores of films in the 1980s is suddenly in the limelight. And he isn't willing to let go of it that easily. His decision to sue the people behind the track Addictive for using his song without consent has caused delighted humour in the Mumbai film industry.

Indian composer Bappi Lahiri has won an injunction preventing further sales of the Truth Hurts smash 'Addictive' which features hip-hop legend Rakim.

A Los Angeles judge ruled that the hit single, excecutive produced by Dr. Dre, be removed from shops in response to Lahiri's insistence that it lifts four minutes of his original composition, 'Thoda Resham Lagta Hai'.

Bappi Lahiri accuses Interscope Records, Dre and producer DJ Quik of "cultural imperialism".

Anthony Kornarens, Lahiri's attorney said, "The judge took the matter quite seriously and felt as though, from what I could tell, the defendants had not acted appropriately."

The Top 10 U.S. hit was featured on Truth Hurts' 600,000 selling debut album.

had never heard of this artist before, but I found this single in a bargain bin and was drawn by the quik credit…actually pretty good? she’s not given a ton to do vocally but looking at the production credits on the rest of the album, I find it hard to imagine it’s not worth a listen

oh and by this single I meant

truth hurts - I’m not really lookin (feat dj quik)

pretty much nailed it. just from reading those posts, you are the exact kind of person that should be listening to this album in 2022 lol definitely recommended. some absolute smashes on the beats. you'll dig it.

gotta love a quik beat
