US Rappers Dedicate Their Songs to Mexican Drug Lords

Borderland Beat  Posted on BB Forum by "Bjeff"
 
Mexican drug traffickers, their activities and luxuries are no longer exclusive to narcocorridos and have moved to a new type of music: US Rap.

American rappers are dedicating their songs and album covers to major Mexican drug lords. In his latest video, Drojo, a Mexican-American rapper, appears hooded, pointing a gun at a man kneeling in front of him. With the sound of a radio communication in the background, he sings: "Give me the money, give me the money."

In an interview with El Diario de El Paso, Drojo says the 'Narco Wave' comes from the concept of the way he has lived all his life.

"Now I live on the border and the drug here is cheaper than in North America. This drug is a reality that many people do not know, especially further north", Drojo explained on the telephone.

In the same 'wave' is Gucci Mane, an African American rapper who has dedicated his first single to Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman, the main capo of the Sinaloa Cartel.

In his lyrics Gucci Mane says: "All I wanna be is El Chapo. Three billion dollars in pesos."

Drojo says it is an easy thing to explain: "In the eighties it was Miami, Cuban drug dealers, but now Mexican drug traffickers are the ones who are doing it".

Another one joining the list is Tony Yayo, a member of the rap group G-Unit, who dedicated his latest cover photograph to the popular Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, in a jacket and a cap and coffee within the Mexican criminal where eloped for over 10 years.

The album cover contains a visual effect whereby the face of El Chapo Guzman becomes Tony Yayo, who wears a black jacket, neck chain and cap with New York Yankees.

Yet behind an attempt to "exalt" the leaders of the Mexican cartels are sales, says Drojo. "the word 'drug' is now very popular on this side of the border.

Drojo, on the other hand, says that his intention is not to glorify the drug trade , but to demonstrate a social context.

"It is not to glorify the drug , my concept is more like a movie, is something that is happening, but I'm trying to see it as a movie."

He also said to have had to be "very careful" with not mentioning of any capo and even with the same word 'drug'. "I have family, I have kids and I do not want no problem with a capo on a misunderstanding, we are careful with our words," he says

Grow up morons, your heros live off your back. They would spit in you before acknowledge you. Your hero worship is a joke.

  27. Chivis- My kids have always listened to rap due to my listening to NWA,Ruff Riders, Eminem etc.back in the day. Yes,educated people do listen to rap. That said, in the past 10+ years drug dealers have invested millions into it. Google BMF(Black Mafia Family) to understand why so many rappers love drug cartels. The DEA has dropped by Gucci Mane's place in Atlanta on a regular basis. Most of the idiots named here can't rap period. But,it's all about the money and drugs. Of course they will praise whichever cartel supplies them. Sad and dangerous. Thanks for letting people know about this...it has everything to do with the war on drugs. And,for all you lame want to be's on this site,please shut up. Peace,Texas Grandma.

  33. The rappers praising Chapo just doesn't seem right. I mean, leave it for the corridos. What the rappers need to do is praise the heavy pushers on the US side. Because there are heavy hitters in the US as well, stick to that negros.
    You rapping about Chapo, " all I wanna be is Chapo " sounds so pathetic.

  41. I'm not going argue whether these guys have talent. Surely, this is not the purpose of this post. I didn't feel the need to listen. But, how is this different from Hollywood and their gangster movies? Is it because cool actors get paid millions to make them and we have an entire industry that makes money from them? I'm confused...

Thats why gabachos make fun of speedy gonzalez and drunkie stereo type macho big mustache mex. Ruthless deaths and war are part of life in Mex since before the Europeans landed. Its not really somethong to b proud of but in a bar fight ur chances of taking down a mex are slim to none.

I live in so So Cal and nothing around here can compare to the fukd up shit that happens in mex. here drive-bys are common, mex ur moms head is chopped up. How the fuk can an American rapper relate any of that to an english audiance? I bet teenage white boys will start getting into paisa corridos and yelling arriba Sinaloa.

  63. CDG and Zetas invest heavily into "narco-rap". Since CDG/Z originated in the Nuevo Laredo, Matamoros, and Reynosa they were heavily influenced by rap introduced to them by Mexican-Americans across the border/ friends,primos,family,etc coming back from the USA/ and ofcourse the internet. I don't know about AFO/CDJ, I'm not from there.

    CDG rap has way more exposure though. Don't know why, maybe it's because they have more online presence.

    Metro-3 rap song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pfrp8_JkABo

    Los L's rap song(hit squad working in the Matamoros area for the CDG) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZK6_mkcGvyg

    And finally here's the page of FRONTERAPASADA. This guy has uploaded dozens, if not hundreds, of rap songs (also corridos) about the Zetas, zeta commandantes, zeta estacas, zeta exploitations, etc. Also has rap songs about the BLO. I highly suspect this guy works and gets paid for public relations or something of that nature.http://www.youtube.com/user/FronteraPesada/videos

    1. BB needs to call you up bro so that we can get good info on narco hip-hop. In my opinion pro CDG/Zetas rappers from the Tamaulipas frontera are the pioneers of the narco hip-hop game. I've listened to some of the narco-hip hop. The CDG/Zetas rappers rap music is off the chain. The most famous Mexican-American rapper of all all time was originally from
      Falfurrias, 70mi. north of McAllen, and had roots in McAllen : South Park Mexican(SPM). SPM was on the verge of Superstardom up until he was sentenced to 45 yrs. in prison for raping a young girl. I grew up listening to rap and was big fan of Tupac, DMX, Dr. Dre, Cypress Hill, 50 cent, TI to name a few. My younger brothers introduced me to SPM. They new more about rap than I did. Your right. The kids in the Matamoros, Reynosa, and N. Laredo are probably highly influenced by American Gangsta rap introduced to them by relatives on the Texas side of the border.The hip-
      hop musical styles are similar except the narco hip-hop is in Spanish. Like one famous Chicano, Kid Frost, rapper would sa : 'This is for La Raza".

      Look up this other MC : Zach De La Rocha of Rage Against The Machine.

    i'm sure its a little bit of both

    it's bad news for Chapo other high level operators because it's going to greatly multiply the pace that more and more people are becoming aware of their names, faces, and legal status

    when you look at the underlying tone most rap songs are just musical commercials that give more and more people information
