and you could be my boyfiend you surely can
just let me quit my boyfriend called superman
i said he's a fairy i do suppoose
flyin through the air in pantyhose
he may be very sexy or even cute
but he looks like a sucker in a blue and red suit
i said you need a man who's got finesse
and his whole name across his chest
he may be able to fly all through the night
but can he rock a party til the early light
he cant satisfy you with his little worm
but i can bust you out with my super sperm
i go do it, i go do it, i go do it, do it , do it

i say skip, dive, what can i say
i cant fit em all inside my oj
so i just take half and bust them out
i give the rest to master gee so he could shock the house
it was twelve o'clock one friday night
i was rockin to the beat and feelin all right
everybody was dancin on the floor
doin all the things they never did before
and then this fly fly girl with a sexy lean
she came into the bar, she came into the scene
as she traveled deeper inside the room
all the fellas checked out her white sasoons
she came up to the table, looked into my eyes
then she turned around and shook her behind
so i said to myself, its time for me to release
my vicious rhyme i call my masterpiece
and now people in the house this is just for you
a little rap to make you boogaloo

for you to dance you gotta get hype
so we'll get right down for you tonight
now the system's on and the girls are there
ya definitely have a rockin affair
but let me tell ya somethin there's still one fact
that to have a party ya got to have a rap
so when the party's over you're makin it home
and tryin to sleep before the break of dawn
and while ya sleepin ya start to dream
and thinkin how ya danced on the disco scene

he's guaranteed to throw down
he goes by the name of wonder mike
come on wonder mike do what ya like

like a can of beer that's sweeter than honey
like a millionaire that has no money
like a rainy day that is not wet
like a gamblin fiend that does not bet
like dracula with out his fangs
like the boogie to the boogie without the boogie bang
like collard greens that dont taste good
like a tree that's not made out of wood
like goin up and not comin down
is just like the beat without the sound no sound
to the beat beat, ya do the freak
everybody just rock and dance to the beat
have you ever went over a friends house to eat
and the food just aint no good
i mean the macaroni's soggy the peas are mushed
and the chicken tastes like wood
so you try to play it off like you think you can
by sayin that youre full
and then your friend says momma he's just being polite
he aint finished uh uh that's bull
so your heart starts pumpin and you think of a lie
and you say that you already ate
and your friend says man there's plenty of food
so you pile some more on your plate
while the stinky foods steamin your mind starts to dreamin
of the moment that it's time to leave
and then you look at your plate and your chickens slowly rottin
into something that looks like cheese
oh so you say that's it i got to leave this place
i dont care what these people think
im just sittin here makin myself nauseous
with this ugly food that stinks
so you bust out the door while its still closed
still sick from the food you ate
and then you run to the store for quick relief
from a bottle of kaopectate
and then you call your friend two weeks later
to see how he has been
and he says i understand about the food
baby bubbah but we're still friends
with a hip hop the hippie to the hippie
the hip hip a hop a you dont stop the rockin
to the bang bang boogie
say up jump the boogie to the rhythm of the boogie the beat
i say hank can ya rock
can ya rock to the rhythm that just dont stop
can ya hip me to the shoobie doo
i said come on
i go to the halls and then ring the bell
because i am the man with the clientele
and if ya ask me why i rock so well
a big bang, i got clientele
and from the time i was only six years old
i never forgot what i was told
it was the best advice that i ever had
it came from my wise dear old dad
he said sit down punk i wanna talk to you
and dont say a word until i'm through
now there's a time to laugh a time to cry
a time to live and a time to die
a time to break and a time to chill
to act civilized or act real ill
but whatever ya do in your lifetime
ya never let a mc steal your rhyme
so from sixty six til this very day
ill always remember what he had to say
so when the sucker mcs try to chump my style
i let them know that i'm versatile
i got style finesse and a little black book
that's filled with rhymes and i know you wanna look
but there's a thing that separates you from me
and that's called originality
because my rhymes are on from what you heard
i didnt even bite and not a god d--m word
and i say a little more later on tonight
so the sucker mc's can bite all night
a tick a tock yall a beat beat yall

cause i'm a helluva man when i'm on the mike
i am the definate feast delight
come to the master gee you see
the brother who rocks so viciously

Rapper's Delight fue el single debut del grupo norteamericano Sugarhill Gang, publicado en 1979. Es muchas veces considerado como la primera canción de hip hop editada en la historia, si bien fue precedida por otra unos meses antes, pero que no tuvo una repercusión tan espectacular como la de los Sugarhill Gang.

El tema fue un bombazo en las listas de éxitos de EEUU y Reino Unido, y fue todo un estandarte para el género Hip Hop, que por aquel entonces empezaba a salir del cascarón.

Rapper's Delight fue rankeada como la 2º mejor canción hip-hop de la historia, únicamente por detrás de un tema de Common Sense.

Como curiosidad, la (horrible) canción (se le puede llamar canción?) Aserejé, del grupo español Las Ketchup, es una burda copia de esta obra de arte, sacada de los versos principales de Rapper's Delight leídos en spanglish. Y luego decían que se lo habían inventado... En fin, lamentable.

En realidad el tema dura 14 minutos 36 segundos y su letra contiene unas 3000 palabras, aunque he puesto un video de 7 minutos y pico ya que en youtube esta limitado a unos 9 minutos y el video esta pero fragmentado.

Recomiendo que os hagáis con esta canción y la escuchéis entera en todo su esplendor.

Hip Hop: "Gangsta's Paradise" - Coolio

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and realize there's nothing left
Cause I've been blastin and laughing so long that
Even my mama thinks that my mind is gone

But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it
He be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of
You better watch how you talking, and where you walking
Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk

I really hate to trip, but I gotta loc
As they croak I see myself in the pistol smoke, fool
I'm the kinda G that little homies wanna be like
On my knees in the night
Sayin' prayers in the street light

Been spending most our lives
Living in a Gangsta's Paradise
been spending most our lives
Living in a Gangsta's Paradise
keep spending most our lives
Living in a Gangsta's Paradise
keep spending most our lives
Living in a Gangsta's Paradise

Forgot the situation, they got me facin
I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the street
So I gotta be down with the hood team
Too much television watchin' got me chasin dreams

I'm a educated fool, with money on my mind
Got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye
I'm a loced-out gangsta, set-trippin banger
And my homies is down, so don't arouse my anger, fool

Death ain't nothing but a heart beat away
I'm livin life do-or-die ah, what can I say?
I'm twenty-three now will I live to see twenty-fo'?
The way things are goin I don't know
Tell me why are we -- so blind to see
That the ones we hurt -- are you and me

Been spending most their lives
Living in the Gangsta's Paradise
been spending most their lives
Living in the Gangsta's Paradise
keep spending most our lives
Living in the Gangsta's Paradise
keep spending most our lives
Living in the Gangsta's Paradise

Power and the money, money and the power
Minute after minute, hour after hour
Everybody's running, but half of them ain't lookin
What's goin on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cookin

They say I got ta learn, but nobody's here to teach me
If they can't understand it, how can they reach me?
I guess they can't -- I guess they won't
I guess they frontin that's why I know my life is out of luck, fool

thave been spending most their lives
Living in the Gangsta's Paradise
thave been spending most their lives
Living in the Gangsta's Paradise
we keep spending most our lives
Living in the Gangsta's Paradise
we keep spending most our lives
Living in the Gangsta's Paradise

Tell me why are we -- so blind to see
That the ones we hurt -- are you and me
Tell me why are we -- so blind to see
That the ones we hurt -- are you and me

Tell me why are we -- so blind to see
That the ones we hurt -- are you and me
Tell me why are we -- so blind to see
That the ones we hurt -- are you and me
ah ah ah ah ah ah

Gangsta's Paradise fue el single debut del álbum de mismo nombre, publicado en 1995 por el cantante de hip hop conocido como Coolio. Este fue su primer trabajo en solitario, el primero y además el de mayor éxito en su carrera profesional. El disco fue certificado 4 veces platino, además de los 2 veces platino por parte del single que traemos entre manos hoy. Fue un bombazo tanto en los EEUU como en el Reino unido, reventando las listas de éxitos.

Además, ganó el Grammy a la Mejor interpretación de Rap individual. El tema es mundialmente conocido por ser el principal de la banda sonora de la película Mentes Peligrosas.

PD: Que buena estaba Michelle Pfeiffer...

Hip Hop: Canción #2: "A lo Cubano" - Orishas

A lo cubano
Botella´e ron tabaco habano
Chicas por doquier
Ponche en Café Guano
Aquí mi vida para los mareaos

A lo cubano
Botella´e ron tabaco habano
Chicas por doquier
Ponche en Café Guano
Aquí mi vida para los mareaos

No no no no
A lo cubano
Directamente de Panam
De Paris pa ser exacto
De Cheguan, donde están
Los de la nueva generación son
Y mira ponte en el fuego de la acción
Con presión de la lírica mística suchíca
La rumba ha comenzado con Anga Flaco Pro
El negro Yoruba, hijo´e Eleggua candela
Escucha como suena no hay más na
Sonido fuerte, ardiente y pegajoso
Si te rozo te destrozo
Mi flow que calma sin fatiga a los nerviosos
Con mi conexión controlando bien mi lengua
Pegao hasta el techo quiero que lo entiendas.

A lo cubano
Botella´e ron tabaco habano
Chicas por doquier
Ponche en Café Guano
Aquí mi vida para los mareaos

A lo cubano
Botella´e ron tabaco habano
Chicas por doquier
Ponche en Café Guano
Aquí mi vida para los mareaos

No hay quien me pare
Aquí mira voy a seguir
Yo represento ron, mulata, cuba hasta el fin
Mi Orishas como un imperio voy a construir
Yo te dejo mi tema como mi emblema cest fini
No no te vayas
Mi gente Orishas, el mundo pa la valla
De oriente hasta occidente gritamos a la batalla
Mi gente en talla
Y todo el yack se te desmaya
Y te me callas.

Ya te lo dijo el Guerrero
Ruzzo, Flaco Pro y Roldán
De Panam a Kivicán
Con un estilo rumbero
Hay que quitarse el sombrero
Frente a mi Orishas a hip hop
Sal de la cueva conejo
Que llegó tu guaguancó

A lo cubano
Botella´e ron tabaco habano
Chicas por doquier
Ponche en Café Guano
Aquí mi vida para los mareaos

A lo cubano
Botella´e ron tabaco habano
Chicas por doquier
Ponche en Café Guano
Aquí mi vida para los mareaos

A la del cuello estoy
Y vengo dando tacazos
Ya se pa que cuerpazo el dj tira razo
El control de tu mente rebaso, paso, doy
Al momento preciso para los mariachis
Que escriben pa tirarlo al precipicio
Dejen ese oficio, te saque de quicio
El público la amenaza poniendo pa´lante el pico
Y ahora te lo disparo en chino

Voy a adelantal
La constitución
Del quinto mandamiento dice
En el saglado liblo de la métrica temática
Que guarda el señor tiempo y tu centro
Del cual yo soy honorable emperador
Y utilizo mi lengua como un tenedor
Para desceleblarte a ti so melón
Miko Niko la Amenaza
Bye bye flow.

A lo cubano
Botella´e ron tabaco habano
Chicas por doquier
Ponche en Café Guano
Aquí mi vida para los mareaos

A lo Cubano es el tema que da nombre al primer álbum del grupo de hip-hop cubano Orishas. Fue publicado en primer lugar en España en 1999, para luego aparecer en las tiendas de todo el mundo a principios del año 2000.

Esta canción, como el resto de lo hecho por Orishas, mezcla ritmos cubanos con letras trabajadas, contenido y ritmos propios del hip-hop. Es imposible no darse cuenta del alto componente de denuncia social que llevan, especialmente, sus primeros discos (A lo Cubano y Emigrante), con referencias habituales a la situación de la mujer, desapariciones, etc.

En la actualidad Orishas viven repartidos por Europa, con base en París, si bien cada miembro se encuentra en una ciudad distinta (uno de ellos, Yotuel, vive en Madrid).

Que la disfrutéis, y no dudéis en escuchar más cosas de esta gente, recomiendo especialmente Mística y Mujer. De todas formas, tarde o temprano acabarán apareciendo por el blog :P

Hip Hop: Canción #1: "Dum Diddy" - The Black Eyed Peas

You know the music make you jump and prance
The BE Peas we keep you rocking on the dance
You know my music make 'em jump and prance
Dum diddley dum dum diddley dum dum diddley dum dum diddley diddley
[2x]

Bring on the rhythm; bring on the drums
The rim shot sound like someone gunned
(Pop! Pop!) There go your ear drums
So raise the volume to the maximum
Base booming bout to make your body feel numb
Pulsations probably penetrate your skeleton
This little diddley definitely demonstrates some
Dum diddley dum - so dance to the drum

Don't hurt yourself, take it easy
There's no better time than right now
So let yourself go, o-eh-o
Watch yourself now, her comes the sound
[2x]
You know the music make 'em jump and prance
The BE Peas we keep you rocking on the dance
You know my music make 'em jump and prance
Dum diddley dum dum diddley dum dum diddley dum dum diddley diddley
[2x]


Freeze
Music please
Apparently yeah we the true MC's
BE Boys no decoys you know the sting
BE Peas till infinity
And we officially also fresh in the scene
So tell me if you see a crew that officially
Hit the whole globe simultaneously
Hit after hit, check out my melody

Don't hurt yourself, take it easy
There's no better time than right now
So let yourself go, o-eh-o
Watch yourself now, her comes the sound
[2x]
You know the music make 'em jump and prance
The BE Peas we keep you rocking on the dance
You know my music make 'em jump and prance
Dum diddley dum dum diddley dum dum diddley dum dum diddley diddley
[2x]

Sim sim sim, blum blum blum
The Black Eyed Peas begun with action
Repeating rhy-rhythm in satisfaction
No need for asking, that's what's happening
The blip blip blip, the blah blah blau
You didn't know me then and you'll never know me now
I'm the Apl.De.Ap, the Filipino Ap
If you need to know my style, yeah let me show you how, come on

Don't hurt yourself, take it easy
There's no better time than right now
So let yourself go, o-eh-o
Watch yourself now, her comes the sound
[2x]
You know the music make 'em jump and prance
The BE Peas we keep you rocking on the dance
You know my music make 'em jump and prance
Dum diddley dum dum diddley dum dum diddley dum dum diddley diddley
[2x]

Dum Diddy fue incluido en el disco Monkey Business, publicado en Junio de 2005 por el grupo estadounidense Black Eyed Peas. Si bien no fue lanzado como single del album, en mi opinión lo merecía sin ninguna duda.

El éxito de este disco fue abrumador, cosa no muy sorprendente ya que la banda era ya conocida por casi todos, además de por llegar con un puñado de singles prometedores, y rápidamente obtuvo una ristra de multiples discos de platino en una decena de países.

La canción que nos ocupa sigue la línea de lo visto en Black Eyed Peas en sus últimos trabajos, ritmos marcados acompañados de una melodía pegadiza y la alternancia entre las voces de los diversos integrantes del grupo, entre los que destaca la buena mezcla de voces femenina y masculinas, sin olvidar ese sabor a hip hop, comercial eso si, cosa que no le resta valor ni mucho menos.

Poned esta canción cuando vayáis conduciendo, y decidme que no os dan ganas de pisar a fondo xDD.
