I listened to Rocked Phil .at NU 107 and their topic is about gangs. And usually sa gangs they use the rap music to express their feelings. Rap is something that I don’t usually listen to. Why? Because I think rappers just rap about their richness, sex and pretty girls. Well, it goes for American Rappers. You know Snoop Dog, Kelly (tama ba?) basta and others. Pero I realized na ang Filipino rappers is quite different from them. Look Francis Magalona his claim to fame are “Kaleidoscope world”, “Mga Kababayan Ko” (not sure with the title) and many other patriotic songs. Then there’s Dicta License. They have this song titled “Alay sa mga nagkamalay noong dekada nobenta” which goes like this:
“Gumising na dekada
Hinahanap muli ang bawat boses
Na tumutugon sa tawag
ng lahi
Bawat boses na sinilang noong dekada nobenta
Sariling interes
lang daw ang nakikita
Nababahala mga nakakatanda
Sabi-sabi nila’y mahina
na yaring bata
Laki sa laya at hindi handa
Anong tugon ng kabataan sa
ganitong pagkutya”
Lalo pa akong namulat when I listened to the Gang guys. Yung gangs nila ay yung napaka famous na TBS (True Brown Style) and others. They are all from Tondo. And what comes up to your mind when you hear Tondo? Of course sasabihin mo “Magulo dun”, “o wag kang maglalakad dun pag gabi” and many scary things you will say to me. pero nag iba ang lahat when I heard them. They have a movie nga pala na “Tribu” Cinemalaya 2007 finalist itong movie which will be shown at Cultural Center of The Philippines. So back with these gangters/rappers I learned that everything that was said about them or even in Tondo is just plain misconception (or maybe some are not). Kasi parang tama naman yung sinabi nila. Yung tagal labas yung nauuna. Pero yun nga minsan napapahamak din sila sa mga rap nila. Yung ni ra-rap nila hindi basta basta kasi may laman. Nung narinig ko nga sila parang gusto ko na ding sumali sa gang. Hehehe (joke)… kasi yung samahan or friendship is what it is all about.
