En íngles, tenemos eso clásico del YouTube, “We Didn’t Start The Fire.” Me parece que Calle 13 trataba crear uno para español con “Nadie Como Tú.” Calle es más de un poco cursí pero es por que se amamos.

This year Halloween fell on a weekend
Me and Geto Boys are trick-or-treating
Robbing little kids for bags
Till an old man got behind our ass
So we speeded up the pace
Took a look back and he was right before our face
We’d be in for a squab no doubt
So I swung and hit the nigga in his mouth
He was […]

Mary J. Blige ft. Big Boi, DJ Drama - “Something’s Gonna Have To Give”
Some folks thought I was disrespecting Mary in my thesis presentation or implying that she is over-using Auto-Tune. Hardly! I only brought up […]

O-Zone - “Dragostea Din Tei” (live)
While it is certainly fashionable to sample […]

Sight seeing we might be in the
Codra port or that new white BM
Home from FAMU with a gorgeous face,
Next semester she transfer to Florida state

Don Omar at Fenway Park, 5 July 2008
This week’s installment of Translation Nation is dedicated to el rey (de melodrama), Don Omar. The king put on quite a dynamic performance at Boston’s Latino Family Festival; inadvertently clowning Luny Tunes for their lame no-show from the weekend before. He […]

Women rappers employ many of the aesthetic and culturally specific elements present in male rap lyrics while offering an alternative vision of similar social conditions. Raps written by women which specifically concern male/female relationships almost always […]
A 17 Year Old With Alot Of Money LOL
March 19th, 2008 crankdat, dance, hiphop, industry, musicvideo, performance, souljaboy | 1 Comment »Soulja Boy is celebrating the anniversary of his signing a few months early but he’s also posted videos of a new dance called “Crank Dat Billie Jean.”
The dancing is tight, the new moves are nice, and the remix sounds hot (especially playing out of a car stereo.) But, one has to wonder what to make […]

Video Jam: Kid Sister, Snoop Dog
December 20th, 2007 diy, hiphop, kidsister, musicvideo, retro, review, snoopdogg, throwback, todomundo, video | 2 Comments »New tracks from pop industry vet Snoop Dogg and nkotb Kid Sister find surprising resonance in their shared 80s electro-funk throwback vibe. But it’s the contrast in the videos that demonstrate the fundamental difference between a hungry artist on her come-up and the pop veteran struggling against the weight of his own history.
Snoop’s “Sensual Seduction” […]
