๐ Hello cinephiles! ๐
I hope you are all well :)
Today we continue with the film series "Hip Hop:Documentaries between beats and politics", in its 2nd screening this time focusing on another of the elements of hip hop, rap and Mcs. With the 2012 documentary, "๐ฆ๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ ๐ก๐ผ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ด: ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ฟ๐ ๐ข๐ณ ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ฝ", where the iconic Ice-T guides us through what was up to that moment the history of rap in the United States, interviewing other great representative figures such as Afrika Bambaataa, Dr Dre, Ice Cube, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Salt from "Salt and Pepa", and many, many others.
Many of their shots are on the streets, with images of graffiti, some ghettos, buildings.... The rappers talk about their perception of music, their beginnings, their techniques and their inspiration for writing. The production and direction are very well handled, the people in charge of these were Ice-T and Andi Baybutt. The background music, beats, scraching, all very related to the genre.
One question that left me thinking for a long time was "Why do you think rap is not as respected as blues, jazz or many other musical genres?". The answers from the celebrities interviewed were very varied, some talked about rap being very countercultural, it gives you the opportunity to talk bad about the government, the media, society in general, and for the same reason you don't want to go mainstream.
Another answer related to the above is that rap lyrics allow you to create a critical thinking, then there is a whole smear campaign in which only show videos of asses, guns, cars, vandalism.... The one that I think is more accurate (at least according to my point of view) is that in rap there has always been rivalry, rappers do not respect each other, they look for ways to shoot their own partners, contrary to most musical genres where musicians support, congratulate and admire each other. What do you think? What do you think could be the reason?
For my part I think that in hip hop culture in general there is a lot of beef, graffiti artists covering each other's graffiti for any reason that "rivals" them, the rap battles where it's about each rapper throwing at the other for a certain amount of time and the one who offends the most is the winner, etc. And I don't think this will change. Rap is only respected by the people who consume it and feel represented and identified, and that's fine.
Talking about the sources of inspiration or in which moments they write it was very curious when one commented that he wrote when he was hungry(later in the forum we found out that he was a Peruvian rapper wow!), then he said that when he arrived with full energy from working out was also a good time. Snoop Dogg said he needed to smoke a lot of weed, have women around him and background beats to get inspired.... Basically, with his answers in the docu he achieved the unthinkable, he made himself even more unpleasant than before xd
At the end of the screening we went to the conversation, this time the guest was "Street", a rapper from Lima, who answered from his point of view the same questions that were asked to the rappers in the docu, it was very interesting the talk, he said that much of his influence comes from Spanish rappers. And he talked about representing your reality before anything else, rapping about what you know.
Another highly recommended docu if you are interested in the genre, we will continue next week with the next one about graffiti, I can't wait! ๐ Hugs, kisses, drink water and brush your teeth! ๐

๐ ยกHola cinรฉfilos! ๐
Espero estรฉn todos muy bien :)
En el dรญa de hoy continuamos con el ciclo de cine "Hip Hop:Documentales entre ritmos y polรญtica", en su 2da proyecciรณn esta vez enfocรกndonos en otro de los elementos del hip hop, el rap y los Mcs. Con el documental del 2012, "๐ฆ๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ ๐ก๐ผ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ด: ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ฟ๐ ๐ข๐ณ ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ฝ", donde el icรณnico Ice-T nos guรญa por lo que fue hasta ese momento la historia del rap en Estados Unidos, entrevistando a otras grandes figuras representativas como Afrika Bambaataa, Dr Dre, Ice Cube, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Salt de "Salt and Pepa", y muchรญsimos otros.
Muchas de sus tomas son en las calles, con imรกgenes de graffitis, algunos ghettos, edificios... Los raperos nos hablan sobre su percepciรณn de la mรบsica, sus inicios, como han sido sus tรฉcnicas y su inspiraciรณn para escribir. La producciรณn y direcciรณn estรกn muy bien llevadas, los encargados de estos fueron el mismo Ice-T y Andi Baybutt. La mรบsica de fondo, beats, scraching, todo muy relacionado con el gรฉnero.
Una pregunta que me dejo pensando por mucho rato fue "ยฟPor quรฉ creen que el rap no es tan respetado como el blues, el jazz o muchos otros gรฉneros musicales?". Las respuestas de los famosos entrevistados eran muy variadas, algunos hablaban sobre que el rap es muy contracultural, te da la oportunidad de hablar mal sobre el gobierno, los medios de comunicaciรณn, la sociedad en general, y por lo mismo no se quiere volver mainstream.
Otra respuesta relacionada con lo anterior es que las letras del rap te permiten crear un pensamiento crรญtico, entonces hay toda una campaรฑa de desprestigio en la que solo se muestran videos de traseros, armas, autos, vandalismo.. La que por mi parte resulto mรกs acertada( al menos segรบn mi punto de vista) es que dentro del rap siempre ha habido rivalidad, entre raperos no se respetan, buscan la forma de tirarle a sus propios compaรฑeros, contrario a la mayorรญa de gรฉneros musicales donde entre mรบsicos se apoyan, felicitan, admiran. ยฟUstedes quรฉ piensan? ยฟCuรกl creen que podrรญa ser la razรณn?
Por mi parte creo que en la cultura del hip hop en general hay mucho beef, grafiteros cubriendo grafitis de otro por cualquier razรณn que los โrivaliceโ, las batallas de rap donde se trata de que en cierto tiempo cada rapero le tire al contrario y el que mรกs ofenda es el ganador, etc. Y no pienso que esto cambie. El rap solo es respetado por las personas que lo consumimos y nos sentimos representados e identificados, y eso estรก bien.
Hablando de las fuentes de inspiraciรณn o en que momentos escriben fue muy curioso cuando uno comento que escribรญa cuando tenรญa hambre(luego en el foro nos enteramos de que era un rapero peruano wow!), luego dijo que cuando llegaba con la energรญa a tope por hacer ejercicios tambiรฉn era un buen momento. Snoop Dogg dijo que necesitaba fumar mucha weed, tener mujeres a su alrededor y beats de fondo para inspirarse... Bรกsicamente, con sus respuestas en el docu logro lo impensable, resultarme aรบn mรกs desagradable que antes xd
Al finalizar la proyecciรณn pasamos al conversatorio, esta vez el invitado fue "Street", un rapero Limeรฑo, que respondiรณ desde su punto de vista las mismas preguntas que se le hicieron a los raperos en el docu, estuvo muy interesante la charla, comento que gran parte de su influencia viene de raperos espaรฑoles. Y hablo sobre representar tu realidad antes que nada, rapear sobre lo que conoces.
ยกOtro docu muy recomendado si les interesa el gรฉnero, seguiremos la semana que viene con el prรณximo que se tratara del graffiti, estoy ansiosa! ๐ Abrazos, besitos, tomen agรผita y cepillense los dientes! ๐
~ ๐ Nos vemos luego! ๐ ~
