Chile representing!

Yes, that is right, Chile has a great variety of rap musicians. through the years the chilean rap it had a big evolution since the 90's when the rap music got to Chile. Rock band "LOS PRISIONEROS" between the years 1988-1989 was considered one of the first to break into the rap in the Latin American with the song "The four luchos". The evolution of this music, had been from the dj's, passing trough the producers or beatmakers and of course the increasing level of the mc's and their lirycs. Talking about the lirycs, the main topics are similar with the topics of United States rap, obviously they refer about social problems of Chile like the big inequalities between the rich peolpe and the poor peolpe, problems with the drugs, criticsm against politics and politicians, perosnal problems or every feeling that they want to express. Nowadays the Chilean rap is considerer one of the best on Latin America because of the whole production of the music, from the flow and content of the lirycs to the beats made  by producers or beatmakers. Finally the best of all it is the music is for free and concert are cheap or for free.  

Here is a video of Chilean rap:

The begining!

Like everything in this world, all it has a beginning. So, please join me and let's see what was the beginning of  the rap music. It is one of the four pillars of hip hop culture (music, dance, dj's and art), that is why sometimes it is called in a wrong way hip hop music. This type of music is a kind of rhythmic recitation, word games and poetry emerged in the mid-twentieth century between the black community in the United States and it was a way to protest against acts of racism and inequalities between black and white people. Even though this music can be interpreted a capella, rap is usually accompanied by a rhythmic background music known as beat. Rap performers are the MC, abbreviation for "Master of Ceremonies". Actually at the beginning the Mc's were the show entertainers, while the Dj's put the music on, they encouraged the people to have a good time at parties on  the latin and afroamerican blocks or suburbs.

Hi bloggers, I am going to start talking some things about me, I am a simply young man from Chile who does not like reggaeton, nor other types of music that appears on the radio because I think those kinds of music do not have much content on their lirycs or at least they are not of  my interest. Not only I like music, but also I like doing bodyboard mainly because I love being on the beach. Actually my perfect day on the weekend is when I get up early and I go to the beach to listen music while I am waiting with some friends for the waves, I love doing that!.

It is enough about me, now I will describe a bit my blog "HIP HOP LIKE CULTURE". As I told before I do not like the music from the radio or at least most of them. That is one of the reason why my favourite music is the Chilean rap and part of this blog it wiil be about it. Hip Hop like culture will be about the rap music in general. Not only the music will have a space on this blog, but also another branches of Hip Hop, like breakdance, the graffitis and Dj's. 

JUST ENJOY IT!!!!!!
