15 national rap musics that you are going to think about

Initially, or rap He was faced with mistrust and preconceit for a large public. A society or considered dangerous, a vehicle to transmit messages of crime and disobedience. Contudo, over the last decades, I have been conquered by attention and dominated as playlists of multitudes, of all as ities and contexts, by the world afora.

Not Brazil, or the musical genre that has also grown, has been turned and transformed, carrying social messages and very strong politics. We select, for you, 15 hits With very powerful lyrics that reflect our culture and the era in which we live.

1. Até when?, Gabriel, or Thinker (2001)

Gabriel, or Thinker é um dos rappers The most ancient Brazilian and also two most brilliant lyricists. His career has been marked by a large component of social and political criticism that does not leave any indifferent.

Até when?, um two of his most popular songs, he um hino à indignação e à popular revolt. Gabriel portrays the unhappy do Brasiliro comum, who struggles daily for survival. He doesn't have time for anything, because he lives to work, but he can't buy a jump for him.

I agree, I don't have work, I try work, I want to work
Either face me or a diploma, I don't have a diploma, I couldn't study
I want us to be polite
That he was stowed, that he knew how to fail
What does the world ask me, what does the world give me?
I get um emprego, começa or emprego, I kill myself from so much ralar
Acordo bem cedo, no tenho sossego, no tempo pra reasoning
Não peço arrego, more where than eu chego?
Sófico not the same place
I find that or filho ask me, I do not have money to give

Falando directly as a working class, it says that "I do not want to go out for or céu / with muita faith and pouca luta". Ou seja, affirms that we can hardly pray for a melhoria in his life, precisely fight serious hairs. He argues that, for realities to grow, people need to be aware and claim dignity and time to live.

Mute, what when mute people, or mute world eat people
To mute people or to the world in change of mind
And, when a mute mind, people walk in front
E, when he sends people, no one sends people

Uma feita music to disturb those who listen, Até when? é um invitation to participate in social and political life, a cry of revolt against Brazilian injustices and inequalities.

2. Black Drama, Racionais MC's (2002)

It is impossível falar de rap Brasiliro sem mention Racionais MC's, or group formed by Mano Brown, Edi Rock, Ice Blue and DJ KL Jay, in 1988. His rhymes will enter for the history of national music, with successes such as Jesus chorou and Life Loka, more Black Drama deserves our special attention, neste artigo.

As it is common to not work in the group, to music reflects on questions like or racism, to poverty and to the many difficulties it gives life in the peripheries Brazilian.

Outskirts, vielas, cortiços
Você deve tá thinking or what are you going to see com isso
From or inception, by ouro e prata
Olha quem morre, então, veja você quem mata
Receive or merit, to show that you practice or badly
See me as a poor prisoner or morto já é cultural
Histories, records, writings
Não é conto, nem fable, lenda ou myth

Relating, among other things, episodes of police brutality That turns out to be dead, Racionais want to represent a violent climate not which grows and survives: "Because you live in war, peace will never exist."

Assim, call attention to Brazilian society for these problems, which she used to trivialize, to normalize. I know, on the one hand, age indifferent to racial and social inequalities, and others come to admire idols like 2Pac.

I also read more analyzes of Jesus Chorou music e two themes Loka life, part I and II, do group.

Seu filho wanted to be preto, ah! How ironic
Cola or 2Pac poster, how are you? Or what 'cê diz?
She sit or black drama, go, try to be happy
Hey, bacana, burn you fez tão bom assim?
Or that 'cê deu, or that' cê face, or that 'cê fez for me?

3. Mun-Rá, Sabotage (2002)

Sabotage foi um rapper fundamental non-cenário Brasileiro, whose musical career is traversed by references to life of crime that or musician and ator levou na juventude. Through his verses, he denounced poverty, the absence of opportunities and all the violence that he committed during or after his course.

Mun-Rá, One of his most famous subjects, a fallacy about a police brutality lived in the peripheries and o daily half gives death.

But, do not go down, eu pego meu filho, na fé vinha vindo, na fé vou follow,
Deus que me livre da look at two strips, more, I negotiate, eu no graphic, no jump, no mosco,
Negotiate, just destroy you
Poor do that agrees with hate,
O anjo do céu não can be réu

Narrating the need to escape the bullets, Sabotage seems to have been prophesied or its own end. In January 2003, on the streets of São Paulo, the artist was born with two shots in the spinal column and ended up dying in the sequence of two ferments.

His music, however, had survived for two years and influenced the generation of rappers mais novos.

4. Only Deus can bring me back, MV Bill (2002)

Only Deus can bring me back um hino do rap national and two major successes of MV Bill, notorious Brazilian musician. Na letter, he reflected on his realidade enquanto homem brazilian, black and peripheral, showing that I had to fight a lot to live.

I will be very precise more to make me remember
Minha self-esteem is not easy to lower
Olhos openings fixed no ceu
Asking Deus what will be my role
Date a boca e não expor meus pensmentos
I am afraid that they may cause constraints
Is that isso? I do not fulfill commitment
Abaixar a cabeça and remain omisso

Likewise, I feel that the society is closed and seeks silence, he continues to denounce oppression and wondering about his place, I am not dissatisfied.

With two more controversial and famous verses of the composition, MV Bill sums up the cenário of poverty that assists him from the beginning: "No country of carnival or povo nem tem or what to eat".

Preconceito sem conceito that empowers the nation
Filhos do descaso mesmo post-abolition
More than 500 years of anguish and food
I am cornered, but not my thoughts

Assim, music is served as a vehicle to denounce or racism, as well socioeconomic inequalities It is also corruption, showing how justice can function in different ways, depending on the city statute.

Order and progress and forgiveness
Na terra onde quem rouba muito não tem punição

5. Desabafo, Marcelo D2 (2008)

Marcelo D2, or charismatic vocalist of the band Planet Hemp, conquered the national public as hit Desabafo em 2008. Despite the contagious rhythm of the music, Marcelo's verses trace very strong thoughts about his social context.

With a positive focus, or rapper pass uma message of hope for those who or escutam:

For a world melhor eu keep it minha faith
Less unevenness, less shot not pe
Andam saying that either he wins or bad
Here you go twisting pra check no final

Contudo, as the title indicates, or theme is a way to unravel about everything that was attended to in the country, transmitting your serious points of view. Among other questões, approach violent conduct of the authorities, illustrated do not film Elite troop by José Padilha when we have the information.

Using the example of Capitão Nascimento, or protagonista do longa, he affirms that many desses policemen do not prepare enough and end up being dominated by odium hair.

Finally, turn to your attention to see who is listening. Lembra that the rest of the society cannot hardly assist all violence: it needs to find a way to intervene.

You love peace, I love you too
More or more I was not afraid to kill any
Here I do not fear death, more segue or thought
I wish to kill um Capitão Nascimento
That, sem treinamento, is incompetent
O cidadão on the other hand said it was powerless, but
Impotência não é uma escolha também
Of assuming own responsibility
Hein?

6. Mandume, Emicida (2015)

Mandume It is a theme from Emicida, a major revelation for the last two years, in partnership with emerging artists such as Mel Duarte, Drik Barbosa, Amiri, Rico Dalasam, Muzzik and Raphão Alaafin.

It's about a hino de recuse subservient posture that so many times you are to sociedade impõe, as your preconceptions:

They wanted someone
What do we see from where we see us
Be more humble, go down to the head
Never revide, pretend that you cut it all
I want them to know ...

Like or rapper He explained in an interview to Billboard Brazil, to music and a kind of liberation, depois of "five secules like that scream locked I do not peito".

Or not rap is a tribute to Mandume and Ndemufayo, rei two Kwanyama and a central figure in resistance to Portuguese colonization. In the fight against racial discrimination, the artists will see to give voice to a new generation that wants to end as a preconception.

And not to depend on the minha geração, parça,
no more passarão unpunished

Or future terá cura, or future and literature
Scholasticism, mathematics and pure magic
Sem assediar alunas, sem censuras
Num espaço mais aberto pra philosophizing culture

Rhyming about the freedom that wants to see our school spaces, it draws criticism of reality, it is harder and more somber. Many times it is represented as a place of restrictions, a school always helps in the formation of two cities, perpetuating discrimination.

Potential block am
Olhe bem para os seus calos
Cês criaram um animal
Something indomestic
É or racial preconception

9. Preta de Quebrada, Flora Matos (2017)

No highlight no rap feminine, Flora Matos I have conquered from Brazil and the inner world. Em 2017, lançou o single Preta de Quebrada, where she reflects on her walk. By identifying yourself as someone who saw some simple things, it shows that you struggled so much to get everything or that you were afraid.

Music also portrays autonomy, self-confidence and força de uma mulher that conhece o own value. Assim, she knows that she does not need anything for the life that she wants and needs to oil a relationship that she did not receive respect for.

Always focused no rap, He runs after his dreams and recommends that everyone façam or himself, taking responsibility for their own happiness.

Time to tell that only your own love Sara
Be deu mancada, give a surety

E seja na favela ou prédio us eu tô em casa

No initial speech we can hear the phrase: "Imagine how different, that just this world would be tivéssemos as certain words for our faith."

Na corner of the minha rua tem um bar
It does not require the term of establishment
Eu sei ate or what are you going to ask
No tomei oodio da cachaça, only to see meu pai drinking

Na ponta do meu cigar tem angústias do mundo

In this way, he defends that all people should be treated as respect and dignity and that we all fear to win as a more egalitarian and conscious society of diversity. His message is otimistic and inspiring, as is TRIZ fosse voice-bearer of a new world that is on the way.

Be smart, open your mind

Heart that pulses, I don't think it's the same for the same
Or individual of each um is not discussed
Stay high, look for altitude

Years ago, it was a gift to the world
Hoje understood, irmão, what the world that I donate from me

Porra, viver é melhor que sonhar

Ao contrarário do parceiro, Zé Pequeno, or bandit was not aggressive nem sedentary of power, just through no crime a form of survival. Djonga seems to affirm that this is the case of many Brazilian people who ended up not trafficking because they were trying to save money for misery.
