Destination

I have heard that we all come to the world with a purpose, however what purpose do those who live on the street or those who decide to take the life of another person have? They also say that we all have a planned destination and that whatever you do you will reach that imposed destination. However is that true? Doesn't matter what decision I made in my life? When will I discover that destiny? After much thinking and analyzing different mythologies and writings I decided to believe that there is no destiny or purpose. Everyone decides where he arrives and what he wants to achieve in the future. Likewise, the energy he radiates will make his purpose clear to him, because it is simple, someone with good energy attracts mostly good and can be an inspiration to others, someone with bad energy can be an example as well, but what one should avoid and it is more logical to attract only desolation and evils. Therefore, always be a good person, your destiny is yours and always seek to help someone, you cannot improve part of the world but you can help someone see the world with a better perspective.

Time

It is curious that many do not worry about how they lead their lives, as if they lived forever, they think that having the possible facilities in a world like this they have everything solved and nothing will happen to them, however the reality is very different and bloody.

For example, watching artists or celebrities from the world of cinema die suddenly, whether overdose or any other reason should serve as an example, however we soon forget what happens. There is a movie called "the price of tomorrow" or "In time" that reflects this very clearly, we do not have all the time in the world to do things, we have the days counted as ugly as it may seem and we must look for the true meaning of the life, we don't have one more day, it's one less, we can't afford to waste the time we have.

SPECIAL DATES

We all have special dates, whether for a holiday like Christmas, or anniversaries. Mine are related to sports, especially football.

The first one is on December 16, 2012, on a cold late night in Bogotá, 24 years later, Millonarios won a Colombian league again, and its star 14, being awarded as the most times champion at the time.

The second date is on December 9, 2018, after facing Boca in the Bombonera, and drawing 2, River was the place for the second leg of the final of the liberators, it would be played in the Monumental, however, by altercations between fans, it was decided to play in the impressive Bernabeú, in Madrid. That day, River was not only going to score Boca 3-1, not only was JuanFer Quintero going to score and Borre would start, both Colombians, but River would do something great, win the Copa Libertadores against his biggest rival.

These are my two important dates, what are yours?

Kurt Cobain

Kurt Donald Cobain (February 20, 1967 – April 5, 1994) was an American singer, songwriter, and musician, best known as the guitarist and frontman of the rock band Nirvana.

In my opinion one of the greatest icons of the time, as well as the creator of the grunch style. Leaving an immense musical legacy and adored by many rock lovers, for its immense lyrical content that allows the person to easily identify with what they hear.

His great addiction to heroin is well known, especially in his last five years of life, as well as a strong depression that supposedly led to his suicide, which today has not been 100% confirmed.

His music is still present in the younger generations, postponing his success of the 90's, making it clear that he was a great, since David Fricke  of Rolling Stone ranked him the 12th greatest guitarist of all time. He was ranked 7th by MTV in the "22 Greatest Voices in Music".In 2006, he was placed 20th by Hit Paradon on their list of the "100 Greatest Metal Singers of All Time".

Religion

I do not understand why, to this day, one still thinks that there is a true religion, one chosen by God for salvation, and the others are wrong and have perdition if they do not convert.

I do not deny, I want to clarify that, the existence of a being superior to what we call God, I only say that Jesus, his son, came to earth to preach the word of God, according to the Bible, at no time came to establish religions.

For my part, I am not in favor of any religion, and technically I can say that I am an agnostic, something that in my family every religious is a reason for ‘eternal condemnation’ and it is these affirmations and not acceptances on the part of the ‘people Religious’ who convince me that a religion is not necessary to be saved, by being a good person and doing good to the primate and himself is enough to opt for a post-mortem life or to dream of an eternal paradise. However, there is no better paradise than this planet, and enjoying the wonders that it offers us every day is enough, why think that in a paradise you will live better if you will have the same as on this planet?

How the music changed my life

I've always had music in my life, that's true, however I had never given it the importance it has in my life now. I can say that music changed my life, perhaps not in a clear way for everyone, since I have not dedicated myself as such to music, but the love that was born in me led me deeper into that musical world.

Writing songs helps me vent my deepest feelings, and listening to a music track or a beat reassures me when stress comes to me, or helps me sleep peacefully. I can not deny that I dream of living from music, although it is very difficult and today remains in that, in a dream, but dreaming costs nothing and as long as I have songs, everything can happen.

CANSERBERO

Now I'm going to tell you about my favorite rapper, Canserbero Tyrone José González Oramas, born in Caracas on March 11, 1988 (curiously 10 years before and one day after me), and ‘died’ on January 20, 2015 in Maracay.

Marked since childhood for deaths and violence, Canserbero began listening and doing 'raw rap' in which his lyrics related his experiences and day to day in his country, Venezuela. He was also influenced by hard rock, and with a great mix between rap and hard rock he managed to get spectacular and deep songs like 'It's Epic' Although 4 long years have passed since his death, for us fans are not dead, since taking a phrase from Can, 'who does not die, only dies who forgets' Canserbero left a very large legacy in the Latin American hip hop industry, and left a precedent, it is not possible to evolve in a society if there is no evolution of consciousness.

MY RAP

From my beginnings I had the influence of rappers like Vico C, 50 Cent or Eminem, so my writings sought a strong criticism of everything I disliked.

Then I began to investigate different topics, such as psychology or depression, I have also written about love and hate.

However, the song that reaches me today and is one of my favorites was born in a time of loneliness and bitterness.

It was the year 2018, in the first half of this year, I knew what true depression and anxiety is, to the point that I didn't feel useful, in fact I thought about suicide.

however I decided to give free rein to the writing and "my subconscious" came out.

RAP IN MY LIFE

I was 10 when I first heard rap consciously.

Gender that little by little was penetrating in my mind and in my personality.

I admit that I had some influence from my mother, growing up listening to rapper Vico C, and on my own I entered the world of hip hop.

Two years later I started writing my own lyrics and creating my own bases, I improved my lexicon looking to stand out in freestyle battles and wanting to reach people with my writings.

Since 2015 my AKA is EFAM SM.

COLOMBIAN RAP

Continuing with Latin rap, let's talk about Colombian rap. Hip hop arrived in the country approximately between 1983 and 1984, little by little it was taking shape and life and in some hearts it stayed to make them beat and show them the life of what a Hip Hopper is. 

The Colombian rap normally talks about drugs, guns, murders, but with an educative context, teaching youth the problems that come with when using certain substances and weapons. What life in the streets really is, how difficult it can be being a Colombian with low recourses and bad company. However it also speaks in a critical way about the state, politicians, wars, lies and dishonesty, being a variated mixture that leaves a clear message, with lies and bad influences we don’t move forward.

Some famous rappers: La Etnnia, Tres Coronas, Crack Family, Ali A.K.A Mind, Alcolyrikos, Nanpa Básico, Stan Mc and more.

LATIN RAP

In the late 1980′s and early 90′s more latin rap comes to the west coast of the usa.  Cuban-American artist Mellow Man Ace was the first Latino artist to have a major bilingual single attached to his 1989 debut.

On the East Coast, Latin artists such as the Beatnuts emerged in the early 1990s, with New Jersey native Chino XL.  During the '90s, Southern California Chicano artists, such as Kid Frost, B-Real, Psycho Realm, Gunter, Delinquent Habits and Jonny Z received mainstream success.

Migrations have brought Hispanic and Latino people and influences across borders. Calle 13 and Choc Quib Town are popular with Latino audiences in the Americas.

Since 1992 Mexico has had a growing hip hop scene with rappers like C-Kan, Babo or Santa RM.  In Spain, rappers Mala Rodríguez, Nach, El Chojin and Porta have a growing fan base that ranges from Spain to Latin America.

‘RACISM’ IN THE RAP

In the first years of 1980′s, the rap was only for black people or latin people; a withe man rapper was a ridiculous idea.But in 1996 apears the fisrt white rapper, his name is Marshall Bruce Matters III, knows profesionally as Eminem or Slim Shady.

At the first he wasn’t accepted in the music industry, however with effort and dedication he won a place, acctually he sold over 230 millions records globally and was labeled the King of Hip Hop or the King of RAP.

Curiously in a musical genre of black people a whithe man beacame in one of the gratest and most influencer rapper of all time, be placed in te list of ‘The 100 Greatest Artist of All Time’ by the Rolling Stone.

RAP

Is a dance music style who born in 1980′s in the black and hispanic neighborhoods of New York and other big American cities, derivated from funk and associated with hip-hop culture.

It’s characterized by a monotonous and syncopaded rythm, long text sung almost recitedly and radical lyrics on topic such as violence, the fight against the system, machism, sex or work.

For a lot of people RAP are only three letters or one word without importance, but those letters may have a lot of meanings, each person interprets the word in a way:

For example R.ythm A.nd P.oetry, R.evolution A.ttitude P.oetry or in spanish R.evolucion A.fricana P.rotestante (P.rotestant A.frican R.evolution). It can also be a simplification of the word Rapid.
