Hoy en día es una condición indispensable del hip-hop: si triunfas, tus colegas también. Hemos visto cómo esto sucedía una y otra vez, así que no debería sorprendernos que en 2003 la historia de Cenicienta se repita en la figura del Rookie of the Year/ El Artista con mayores ventas, que ahora nos presenta a su pandilla. Ya conoces su nombre: 50 Cent. Y si lo has escuchado ya conoces a su pandilla: G-Unit. "He estado haciendo la promoción de G-Unit desde antes de tener el disco", dice 50. "Toda la música que he hecho representa tanto a 50 Cent como a G-Unit". G-Unit lo forman 50 Cent, flanqueado por el animal de las rimas y las metáforas, Lloyd Banks y el agresivo soldado callejero del Sur, Young Buck, apoyado además por Tony Yayo, (entonces en libertad), quien publicará su trabajo a principios del próximo año (Free Yayo!). El disco de G-Unit se llama "Beg For Mercy". Y lo que diferencia a "Beg For Mercy" del típico trabajo en pandilla es que alcanza las altas metas de s...
El hip hop es un género musical y cultural que se originó en la comunidad afroamericana y latina en la década de 1970 en el Bronx, Nueva York. La música hip hop se caracteriza por su ritmo y poesía hablada en una forma rítmica llamada rap, que a menudo se acompaña de beats electrónicos y samples de otras canciones. La cultura hip hop también incluye otros elementos como el breakdance, el graffiti y el DJing.
Las letras del hip hop a menudo tratan temas sociales y políticos, como la desigualdad, la discriminación y la violencia en las comunidades urbanas. También puede ser utilizado para expresar identidad y orgullo cultural. El hip hop ha evolucionado y se ha ramificado en varios subgéneros como el gangsta rap, el conscious rap y el trap, entre otros.
El hip hop ha tenido un impacto significativo en la cultura popular en todo el mundo, tanto en la música como en la moda y el lenguaje. Muchos artistas de hip hop se han convertido en íconos culturales y han utilizado su plataforma para promover la justicia social y la igualdad.
"Walk with meeeee..."
[Young Buck] Ay if you hear me out there
"Walk with meeeee..."
[Young Buck] I get down on my knees every night and say
"Walk with meeeee..."
[Young Buck] Hahahaha, yeah
"Walk with meeeee..."
[Young Buck] I'm goin to war, I'm goin to WAR!
[Verse One: Young Buck]
You never know when death's comin, all you hear is gunshots
Lil' kids get to runnin, old ladies get off the block
When the poppin the truck music comes to a stop
Niggaz get on the floor with they front doors locked
Syringes and sirens the only thing on the street
People act like they don't know who did it, but they notice me
Every day's a death threat, but I ain't dead yet
So I go put a hole in a nigga from the next set
Don't know where I slept at, just know where my tec at
It's the first of the month, my bitch ain't got her check yet
Juvie left me in California, I don't respect that
I love him too much to beef, so I'ma accept that
But I'ma just step back, and focus on Buck
Tired of ridin in yours, I'm bout to buy my own truck
Got to try my own luck, "Get Rich or Die Tryin'"
It's G-Unit 'til I'm gone, Lord knows I ain't lyin niggaz
[Chorus: 50 Cent - repeat 2X]
First there was two sets of footprints in the sand
Then there was one set of footprints in the sand
When times get hard and shit hits the fan
God don't walk with me, he carry me man
[Verse Two: Young Buck]
You don't know what I been through to get what I done got
If you looked through a scope, you couldn't hit what I done
shot
Couldn't flip what I done copped, couldn't tip what I done
topped
I murder you all-talk like a clip without a glock
When you holla G-Unit on some other shit
You need to do the research, and see who you fuckin wit
I smoke all your weed up, go run up your Beeza
Your baby momma want me, I don't want that skeeza
She's scratched my Beema, but I ain't seen-her
When I catch the bitch, I'ma gangsta lean-her - WHOA
We be playin in them videos, with them pretty hoes
Cash bucks and the key bitches and New York City hoes
They learned it from Lil' Kim to let they titties show
I'm the King of the South, this is how it really goes
Lord knows, I keep all my jewels froze
As long as the check come, then FUCK the award shows
You know me nigga
[Chorus]
[Verse Three: Young Buck]
Half of these kids never read the Bibles
But they can tell you how to kill a man better than I do
The reason they fucked up, they all been lied to
I know what it feels like when a nigga misguide you
My momma stay in the projects and I been havin money
I went bought her a house, but she told me she ain't want it
(What?) Right then I understood that the hood's in my blood
So I hollered CASH REAL, lettin 'em know where I'm from
Niggaz know I got a gun when I come to the club
And if it go down, you better tell your people to duck
Why should I slow down, I just got started targettin artists
Wait 'til the bullets start hoppin out the cartridge
I come to get it poppin, pray to God the news watchin
So when they see 'em snitch niggaz'll know who got 'em
We came from the bottom to the top, from hoopties to a drop
And kill or be killed is the attitude I got nigga
[Chorus]
[Young Buck]
I know you prayin I get killed nigga
He who fears death is in denial
50 told you niggaz, Young Buck showed you niggaz
Banks! FREE YAYO!
And tell the bitch ass niggaz put they vest on
I'M HERE NOW!
