  • Latino Rap – Part 2
    Latino Rap – Part 2 Intro/History As we discussed last time, many Chicano/Latino rappers do have a gang background (see my prior article on "Chicano Music: An Influence on Gang Violence and Culture”. At one time was on the NAGIA http://www.nagia.org/latino_rap.htm) Sgt. Ron Stallworth of the Utah Dept. of Public Safety has written four books on the subject of gangster rap and even testified at a capital homicide trial in Texas in which rap lyrics were the subject of the case in point. Law Enforcement around the country has become more and more concerned each year with the rap industry’s growing influence on gangs and crime. Det. Wayne Caffey of LAPD has also documented gang ties to many of these gangster rap groups. Rap is part of the Hip-Hop culture that started on the East Coast in the mid-seventies with such groups as the Sugar Hill Gang, Curtis Blow, and Grandmaster Flash. It is a diverse music style and one sub-group could be classified as "Gangster Rappers". Chicano/Latino MC’s may rap in English, Spanish, or Nahualt, or whatever. Increasingly, non-Latino artists are mixing Spanish lyrics in their music in an effort to reach out to the growing Latino market. Latinos have always been a part of the Hip-Hop scene. Early on, in New York, hip-hop break dancers like the Rock Steady Crew and "graffiti artist piecers" like Fidel Rodriquez were involved in the scene. But Latino MC’s did not enjoy that much success at first.

And today, we have something for the blunted as we dive back to 1991, to talk about the debut, self-titled album by Cypress Hill. 00:00:27 Music Music “Break It Up” from the album Cypress Hill by the band Cypress Hill. Light, multilayered rap. Break it up, Cypress Hill, break it up Cypress, break it up, Cypress Hill Cypress Hill! Break it up Cypress Hill, break it up Cypress, break it up Cypress Hill Cypress Hill!

[Music continues under the dialogue briefly, then fades out.] 00:00:39 Oliver Host The first time I ever saw Cypress Hill was at my very first hip-hop show, in San Francisco in ’91. Cypress, however, were not the headliners. That would have been the trio of 3rd Bass, then touring behind their radio single, “Pop Goes the Weasel”. Cypress Hill was the opening act, with only a slow-burn B-side, “How I Could Just Kill a Man”, to their name at the time. Of course, a few years later and this would all change.

  • Powerflo Info 2018
    POWERFLO Rap -Metal Supergroup um Cypress Hill Rapper Sen Dog mit selbstbetiteltem Debut erstma ls live in Deutschland ! Bereits der Name POWERFLO in Kombination mit den Namen der Bandbesetzung macht klar, wo die gemeinsame musikalische Vision der Supergroup aus L.A. liegt: Neben Sen Dog , hauptberuflich Rapper bei den mehrfach Grammy-nominerten Platinsellern Cypress Hill, komplettieren Biohazard Sänger und Gitarrist Billy Grazadei , downset Gitarrist Rogelio ›Roy‹ Lozano , Ex-Fear Factory Bassist Christian Olde Wolbers sowie Worst Drummer Fernando Schaefer das heftig groovende Rap-Metal-Monster. Die Grundidee der Band war, auf sämtliche Konventionen zu pfeifen und einen Hybriden aus HipHop, Metal, Punk und Rock zu kreieren, der sämtliche Stärken und Vorlieben der einzelnen Mitglieder bündelt und dabei stets größer als die Summe der einzelnen Teile ist. Rollende Basslinien treffen auf fette Drumbeats und explosive Metalriffs und bilden so das Fundament für Sen Dogs Raps. POWERFLO stellen ihr im Juli 2017 veröffentlichtes gleichnamiges Debutalbum nun erstmals live in Deutschland vor. Die Entstehungsgeschichte der Band reicht laut Cypress Hill Rapper Sen Dog ganze 25 Jahre zurück. Auf der zweiten Lollapalooza Festival Tour in 1992 teilten sich Cypress Hill die Bühne mit diversen Alternative-Rock-Acts, unter anderem Soundgarden. Allabendlich deren Shows zu sehen, war der Ursprungsfunke zu POWERFLO. »Schon als Kind hat Heavy Metal mich irgendwie berührt – aber selbst in dieser Richtung aktiv zu werden, war nahezu unmöglich. Unsere Eltern konnten es sich nicht leisten, uns Gitarren oder ein Drumset zu kaufen, also fingen wir an zu rappen, denn dafür brauchten wir lediglich Stift, Papier und ein billiges Mikrofon. Aber je älter ich wurde, je mehr ich in der Welt herumkam und vor allem je mehr Musik ich hörte, desto klarer wurde mir, dass ich in erster Linie mehr Metalhead als alles andere bin.
