Hip Hop
Ali Aka Mind feat. Akil Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo Represento un Hip-Hop latino y lo respiro donde quiera que voy
Puro estilo andino, primo, que hasta el día de hoy
Ha sido un arte que comparte y la también posesión(?)
Un punto aparte que combate a base de auto-gestión
Dejamos el cuero en las páginas
Mi lapicero escupe fuego, tinta y lágrimas
Aquí los grandes raperos no andan en Cadillacs
Muchos por pesos están presos en las fábricas
La discográfica es la máquina de algún parcero
Que a base de trabajo puso su estudio casero
Cada concierto un hervidero de sinceros que vinieron a escuchar
La lucha de su guero sin peros
Hay expertos en la pintura, guerreros del dance, sin duda
Proberos(?) sin partitura y DJs que en la cultura son soporte
Pa' que estos golpes y estos hemos de sur a norte

To the hip hip da hop, you don't stop!
Real Hip-Hop!
To the hip hip da hop, you don't quit!
Came to rip shit!

I Represent that Hip-Hop original flavor for the digital world
Sick with it, condition so critical, girl
Boys, men, women and children, Hip-Hop, we up on the spot
I got a feeling that it's gonna be a good night
Today Was A Good Day
Tomorrow drown your sorrows in the music of the DJ
Now listen to what we say, andale, andale
Hurry in the display, you feel it when you're far away
Music for the present, past and the future
Fresh meeting your class, audio for computers, uh
Radio turntables, you know that we are able
We get it in, out to win, yo', without a label
Independent, underground or commercial sound
We put it down when we in your town, uh
Akil the MC live, yo' we keep it raw




Represent the real from LA out to Bogota
Colombia (Colombia)

Overall Meaning

The song "Hip Hop" by Ali Aka Mind feat. Akil is a tribute to Latin American hip hop and its origins. The lyrics talk about the pride of representing a Latino hip hop style and carrying it wherever they go. This style is characterized by its Andean roots, which have been transformed into an art that is shared and possessed by many. The song also highlights the struggle of the independent hip hop movement against the commercial and discographical industry that takes advantage of artists for their own benefit.


The lyrics speak about the dedication of the rappers to their craft, leaving everything they have on the pages of their notebook. The verse "mi lapicero escupe fuego, tinta y lágrimas" (my pen spits fire, ink, and tears) is a powerful representation of how much the art of hip hop is a reflection of the personal experiences, struggles, and emotions of the artists. The song also talks about the diversity of the hip hop culture, where there are experts in graffiti, dancers, DJs, and rappers that all come together to create something unique.


The chorus and the verse using English words are a nod to the global impact of hip hop culture. The message is that hip hop is universal, and even though it has its roots in the African-American community, it has expanded to embrace all cultures, and the Latino hip hop culture is a perfect example of that.

LETRA - AYUDEN A COMPLETARLA

Yo represento un hit habladini y lo respiro donde quiera que voy
puro estilo andino primo que hasta el día de hoy
ha sido un arte que comparte y da también por sesión
un punto aparte que combata a base de auto gestión

Dejamos el cuero en las páginas
mi lapicero escupe fuego tinta y lágrimas.
Aquí los grandes raperos no andan en Cadillacs

muchos por pesos están presos en las fabricas


La discográfica es la maquina de algún parcero
que a base de trabajo puso su estudio casero.
Cada concierto un hervidero de sinceros que vinieron
a escuchar la lucha de sus ghettos sin peros

Hay expertos en la pintura, guerreros del dar sin duda
troveros sin partitura y DJs que en la cultura son soporte
pa que estos golpes que demos se escuchen de sur a norte
