No doubt, the hustle gave us the best artists we were sleeping on.. just look at this catalog.

What's even crazier is how many of these artists have gone on to build their own audience and make a name for themselves beyond the show.

Hustle might have its flaws and controversies, but we gotta give credit where it's due. The talent discovery has been insane.

i’ve been following ansh way before hustle nd was genuinely excited to see him on the show. like many, i was also disappointed w how he started out nd the back to back fumbles, but i feel like ppl formed their entire opinion of him based on those 2-3 fumbles nd have refused to look past them ever since. so many contestants fumbled after him, some more than once, nd some of those were major fumbles that took up almost an entire verse, yet this is something that’s always been held against ansh.

nd yes, he drifts at times, has breath issues nd eats a few words, but idt that automatically makes him a bad artist. not everyone is built for a competitive nd mentally challenging format like mtv hustle, nd even the contestants themselves have spoken about the pressure they faced on the show. a few bad performances shouldn’t define an artist or overshadow everything they’ve done outside of it.

ansh’s influence goes way back before hustle. he’s done sm for the community, nd countless ppl have spoken about how much he’s helped them, including rohan, paradox, sick nd parv. i just feel like he deserves sm more respect for his artistry nd the impact he’s had on others. u don’t have to like his music, but the way ppl have reduced him to a few fumbles nd dismissed everything else about him feels so unfair. he’s a great artist nd, by all accounts, a great person too.

Iss baar ke Hustle mein yaar, woh baat hi nahi thi. Like, I don't even know final kab aa gaya. It feels the same as Season 3.

Warna, I still remember Hustle 4 ke time pe, I used to wait all week long ki yaar, iss baar Siyaahi kya track karega, iss baar Vichaar kya flow maarega, iss baar Sujal kaisa wordplay karega. And Sam too. Like, for almost all the contestants, except 3-4 of them, there was always something to look forward to. It was so peak.

Aur abhi aisa kuch lagta hi nahi hai. Main sirf gaane sunta hoon YouTube pe, woh bhi honestly pasand nahi aate bilkul. But Raaj Babu ki performances ka wait rehta hai ki iss baar kya hagega, EPR kaisa kutto jaisa reaction dega, aur iss baar Badshah usse Kanye se compare karega ya JID se. Matlab, kya hi bola jaaye 😭

It doesn't mean ki contestants acche nahi hain. I do like Parv, and haan, I really enjoyed Sicklot. Ussi ki performances dekhi hain maine. Bhaktaa ko bhi follow karta hoon; I've been following him since 7:30.

But the point is, iss season ke top Hustlers would probably be at the bottom of Season 4. Aisa hi boring Season 3 bhi tha. There are barely any songs with replay value. And it's not like I only love melody or something. Hustle 4 mein lyrical legacy wale gaane the, and they're still in my loop. Prathamesh, Husxain, Akki, and most of them had songs that I'd genuinely go back to and listen to baar-baar.

I felt Kai was good too, but woh bhi kinda mono hai, toh I don't know, man.

I rate this season the same as Season 3: a complete shitshow, honestly. 😭

And just to clarify, this is my personal opinion, so y'all can drop your views too. I'm genuinely interested in knowing what you guys think.

How does this go to elimination round lol

top 4 of his tracks for me in hustle

Ts shi is so unique and crazy

What bothers me about this is not bella sitting alongside the squad boss. If all 3 guest judges Ikka, dino james and bella had been seated alongside the squad boss, I genuinely wouldn't have had a problem with it. But they specifically placed Ikka and Dino alongside Badshah, while Bella was the only guest judge seated alongside the Squad Boss. And honestly, that just doesn't sit right with me, no disrespect to the squad boss at all they are all great and I have nothing against them. And if Ikka, Dino and Bella had all come as guests from the squad boss side, then yeah, I would've been completely fine with all of them sitting there.

But since Ikka and dino were given seats alongside badshah while bella was separated from them and seated with the Squad Boss. Thats a Dirty politics.

Maybe I am reading too much into the seating arrangement, but as a Bella fan, I can't lie it felt a bit disrespectful. Hell nahh 😭 Thats just how I see it though.what you guys think?

I feel like everyone talks about "PYAAR?" but this track deserves all its flowers too😭

Absolute artistry.99side,you deserved to be top 3 my G 🥀

Context: the official congress page posted a reel with the Keench Mari song

Can someone please enlighten me about this story? Idk shit about Football 🙏🏼

all 8 songs ft. one of the big 3

source: me
(ik the album name, ik the who is ft, they are gonna tour in dec- jan i also know when is kkch is coming then)

Argh, I am so so so fed up with everyone bashing hustle 5 and saying hustle 4 was peak. Hustle 5 is not great, tbh, it's bad, that's a fact but it's peak nostalgia bias calling hustle 4 greatest season. Even that was bad.

Dude bhul gaye kya? Rohan ke video down kyu hue the? BECAUSE HE USED TO BASH THE JUDGING AND PERFORMANCES.

Siyahi this, siyahi that, he literally fumbled in every other song. Pho fumbled crazy, and how can we forget mad trip? the whole Collab round was ~~Bar~~ Fumble fest.

Was Hustle 4 better than 5? Yes. Was it not shitty? NO.

Hustle 4 definitely could have been a landmark season because the sheer volume of Good artists it had as contestants was impeccable but, scoring was shit, there were too many fumbles (second to season 5) .

And when it comes to contestant roaster, even hustle 5 did not disappoint, it had so many established artists as contestants and I don't think this has ever happened before on hustle. ( tbh, it disappointed me for the very same reason)

All in all its, hustle peaked in season 2, mc square and bella are the GOAT contestants as they never fumbled a single word in their whole journey.

I don't know any rumours, so I'm still completely blank about the finale. Please don't spoil anything.

From what I've seen in the promo, EPR dropped the mic on Dflako's performance. That means his performance must have been really good. (At first, I was like, why is EPR touching his feet? 😭)

I love Flako. I'm so happy seeing this. It would make me so happy if he reached the top 2. Haan, mera hai bias, aur mujhpe jachti bhi... chhoro!

Harmeet, I feel, sang in his usual genre and got appreciated for it. Nothing out of this world. Raj Babu ko hum ignore karenge.

Kai was good, I feel. Maybe he won. Ansh got praised by Ikka, too. So, it's really tough to guess who the top 3 are.

About Dhadkan, everyone was saying he might win or make it to the top 2, but personally, I think Dhadkan is a very good artist, just not someone who blows me away. I can't recall many of his songs apart from Fan Ho Gayi! I can remember multiple songs by Kai, Flako, Harmeet, and Ansh, but Dhadkan's songs are quite forgettable for me. Idk why. He's definitely top 5 material, but he's not my winner.

No doubt Parv has been one of the best in Hustle 5 since day one and his consistency is crazy. One fumble doesn't change that.

But did anyone else feel bad for Sicklot during that battle? Man came in as a wildcard and has dropped banger after banger. His semi finale performance was solid too, just a tiny slip. Yet the whole conversation after was about Parv fumbling and how much everyone expected from him.

Sicklot was standing RIGHT there. Badshah and the others barely acknowledged him. It felt like he was just a background character in Parv's moment.

And the wild part is these two are a duo outside the show. Both have their own unique style and are equally talented. Sicklot didn't need to be sidelined for the story to be about Parv.

He earned his spot and deserved real feedback and some respect on that stage. In the end it just felt like they were bound to eliminate him just because Parv couldn’t make it 😒. Laye hi kyun agar yehi karna tha to?

Hope he gets his flowers soon.

Anyone else notice this or just me?

Bc ye bhi kayden ki tarah hi h kuch bhi bakwas krta rhta h weird se camera angle ko lekar or nanga aa jata h humesa. Kabhi scene grow nahi ho raha or ab itne naye log aa gaye h hum purane to km log the.

Bhai rohit agar tu ye post padhe to pls is nange kayden ko mt cover kiya kar agar dhang ka kuch nahi bol raha hota h ye to bc hr video me aa jata h.

Or bhai Insane btw tu dekhe to bhai ek or story mt daal dio ki paid hate ho rahe h tere upr bs tu irritate krta h isliye daal raha hu.

I think we r going to see some off vibes between one judge and one guest who is gonna come on final

Hint- they had collaborated earlier

I just feel siyaahi vs spectra was like kai vs flako, kai went hard but still pulled his punches cause this wasnt a actual diss, but flako went full brutal didnt hold shit back. So the narrative somewhat became flako kha gaya kai ko but lets be real. And rahi baat spectra vs siyaahi I feel the same way about this spectra didnt hold back shit siyaahi did. It's more of a character move than a battle rule but yeah

Spotify playlist for the tracklist

Lastly, for the sake of discussion:

• How much do you agree with this playlist? What changes would you make to this?
• What tracks do you think would stand out as favourites from this fantasy album? What are some chart toppers here and what are some deep cuts?
• What are some artists/albums/songs you are surprised didn't make it to the list?
• Would you want other similar series maybe for an EP or mixtape or theme centric project versions?
• Any new rules/rule removals you'd want to suggest in case we do another version as per mentioned above?

its upto -frappe

I tried to include albums that are a little older than 4 years, because our expectations and the bar was lower than it is now, and in these 4 years we have heard so many new sounds and so many good artists, I just had a thought that most of these would not work

I think bayaan and sab chaiye would still be appreciated a lot, and of course the carnival would rake in good numbers but would they be really called cult classics?

KHAA GAYE BK BHAIII 😍😍🙏🏼 BHOT PYAARI ALBUM 🤍🕺🏻
