Spanish Rap

Modern Spanish Rap
Hi!

I think that people in general have a bad view from hip hop. They think what they see in TV or jokes about it, but this isn't true at all. Normally people see rap as a unique style of music but there are many types of rap. And people should relate rap to "Gangsta rap" which I personally don't like. I think that this general view of rap with the image of "bad boys" in mind makes that this type of music has a bad reputation.
But this view is wrong, specially nowadays. I see everytime more rappers who talk about society problems and other problems which people has in general. This is very important in my opinion because the unique way to express onseself and to make arrive the message to the people is through the music, and nowadays I think that rap is the only type which does this. Modern rap (I call it so) is every time more characterized by rappers who reflect about their situation and the society in general. So these songs are every time more letters with an important message behind.
An other general problem is that people, who don't listen rap nearly never, don't catch the message of this song because they don't listen it well. They only listen the rythm and only catch the insults, and the rest? the importance of the text? And after listening the song and without catching the message they critize this type because they consider it something stupid (according to the insults they have heard). With this situation I can only laugh about them and I have to say that the stupids are they because they are not able to understand a text with rhymes and which transmit an important message. They are to be used to listen music that during all the song only say the same and every single talk about the same things. This show me the general view who has the majority of people in our society.
In conlusion, I think that rap is every time more and reflection exercise for people and I think that people who hasn't any idea about rap shouldn't critize it. To critize you should know the topic which you critize and this is a general problem in our society, many talk about things according to what they have heard from one way but things should be studied more to be able to give a reasonable opinion.
Frank-T is the perfect example of this type of rap which I like.

I hope that you read all the text and then explain me yours opinions
