Hip Hop is a struggle. Native Elt

Now and then spent a sick person, a thin elderly woman dragging a leg when walking, a man with his arm bandaged, an emaciated woman holding the ribs and coughing on the sidewalk in front, next to the gray church that betrayed the presence of heavy Mormons. It seemed a scene of low-budget film, a return of the undead to Lima ...

No, not that. Was that we were two blocks from the hospital Cayetano Heredia, sitting on the rowlock, talking, talking cagándonos cold but a little of everything and for a long time.

At all times was calm and simplicity which is far from the false modesty so common not only among the MC's but also among many Lima (lag characteristic of hypocrisy cuts viceroys sent here, counts, marquises, etc.). The same simplicity that shows on stage or when talking to an outbreak in any context, and that is a feature that I hope is not lost.

The first issue addressed was what he meant by Hip Hop:

Native: People say Hip Hop Peruvian, Venezuelan Hip Hop ... I do not think so, for me the Hip Hop is one, Hip Hop as a nation around the world.

But that will be ideal, because in reality it is not, the Hip Hop is not a nation, and I do not mean formal, but in practice, everyone is on their side and the divisions are the most common stupid rivalries, the clash of egos.

Native: You are right. That is because people have different paths, our course in Caleta Ground is not to challenge but to show the rap, which for us is essentially the voice of the neighborhoods, the people who will not listen just like that.

Stuck to a political line?

Native: No, not the only political line that is still Hip Hop. Because when you understand what really is the Hip Hop you realize you do not need to follow a political line.

Did it really is? So, do you think there are people who twists?

Native: Yes

Does that mean you do not recognize the groups that do not rap like you who do not play the same issues and using other bases?

Native: I do not think all your songs have to be political and not all have to be, say, moved. Rap is not just politics or revolution, it is also fun to move people ... is a move in different recontra that everyone is still another in which people will at least move the arm. I think there has to be all but always looking to build, making culture, contribute. The public finally decides which group describes yourself, what MC does a better rap for him.

(I think the only way to make or build is complaining or making social issues. Do not think it lacks intelligence to those who make or romantic themes of everyday things. Do not think it lacks joy to those who do rap of protest. Depends of who does the rap and how much talent you have. do not think that those who do rap "political" or "social" Hip Hop representing more rational because the show. do not think they do rap "melodic", "rhythm" or " moved "represent more Hip Hop because they have more success in broadcasting. I think we all bring something, and contribute the most are those who persevere and show more originality and talent. And I think until we understand it will be difficult we reach a respectable development in this culture. Stop underestimating is one of our outstanding work ... just like our entire society)

Why do you think that in Peru this culture has not developed much as in other countries who also knew about the same time?

Native: Largely because of the divisions. I do not know if a problem or simply gave way. But hopefully one day we can join a collective.

As an artist, where do you are projecting?

Native: A follow Caleta Ground, to continue with the workshop, to move more, do lives elsewhere, leaving Lima, traveling and creating unity in Hip Hop. It is the second album by the group.

Let's talk first: Walking Shit.

Native: The name of that first album was born spontaneously, someone said "Treading shit" shit and people laugh, but it was. Because it has many connotations, many ways, it may be the very fact that shit because you tread on the street, you walk through the neighborhoods. It also has to do with the content of our songs, we criticize the government, the system itself which wants the rich richer and the poor poorer.

Do you think there should be a system change?

Native: I think there must be a change in people.

A change of mentality.

Native: Yes, from there things begin to change.

In the "do you want?" Say the right and left are the same shit ...

Native: Yes, I say that because I just want to get more people to take power, just that. They may talk a lot but there is always sectarianism, Alan enters and chapan chamba the APRA and are lanyard, and will be the same when on the left, just left the van-plated everything. I think of social change, away from the right or left.

What do you rap in other countries seems remarkable?

Native: others, that of Palestine, for example, which is a good rap fighting for his own reality, they are in constant struggle, the MC often has to cover her face because you really are seeking to kill him, not like here that may be done by appearance. To me that is Hip Hop, the fight against repression, as Hip Hop began.

¿? But if the Hip Hop started in New York, and then there was no enforcement problems, had more exclusion.

Native: But being excluded is also being repressed ...

¿?

Native: ... the fact that whites have buses and buses for blacks, bitch, that's a separate exclusion is shut up.

But in those years lived as a remnant of this exclusion, American society was geared towards equality of its people to prove they were better than their enemies in the world.

Native: But for that to be given has been a lot of people repressed, silent, beaten in the streets.

Sure, but that is not Hip Hop history, if you want a background, but really that is the history of American society as a whole ...

Native: yes, but at the time, these conditions was born on Hip Hop.

I disagree, but in any case, that's only Hip Hop, undeveloped, with no variations to expand and get rich?

Native: No, of course, just saying that this originated. And so I think you live longer in Palestine, as in Cuba, where people are repressed, can not say things against the government. Those situations that make you more combative allow you to live more Hip Hop.

Is Hip Hop is a struggle?

Native: Yes, everything is a struggle, day by day struggle to earn a living, to achieve the goals, everything is a struggle. The thing is why struggles, if you fight for something that does not pay, does not make sense.
