+5 Yes, Puerto Rico is widely considered a colony—or often described as the world's oldest colony—due to its status as an unincorporated U.S. territory. While residents are U.S. citizens, they lack voting representation in Congress, cannot vote for president,
No hate on him, but I understand why. I'm German, but I speak English and a little Spanish as well. When I saw a video of the Superbowl halftime show, I got the symbolism, but I didn't understand anything he was saying in Spanish.
If you're trying to convey to the American public that you're a well integrated subculture that deserves to be treated equally in terms of American law, I don't think it's very helpful if you rap about that in Spanish, because most white U.S. citizens don't speak Spanish. So if you use all that "Mechico immigrantos good"-symbolism in the pictures, but can't express yourself properly, it's going to confirm their racist beliefs that integration is not successful. For me, personally, it made the first impression that this rapper is not from the U.S. mainland culture. Do mind that I had no other context or knowledge about him at that point in time. Would I have wished for a different show? No, it was still okay. But I think a mix of English and Mexican Spanish would have been more powerful.
Please ask Rammstein to use English more often. (this is a sarcastic joke, please tell them I love them)
You know, this actually plays IN FAVOUR of my argument and shows that you know fuck all about Rammstein. When Rammstein made a song critical of US culture, they actually DID partiallly sing in English!
-> Amerika "We're all living in America! Amerika, ist wunderbar!" "This is not a love song This is not a love song I don't sing my mother tongue No, this is not a love song"
You guys don't know shit and yet you criticize me. And the absurd thing is that I'm not even criticizing Bad Bunny, but am in favour of his message.
"We all live in America" is them satirizing how fucked up America is, in a "Yeah, sure, we're ALL Americans, F*ck you" sort of way.
I feel like you're angry for the sake of being angry, but you do what you've gotta do, bub.
I know they're satirizing it. But that was the point, they're still singing part about the song in English so that English speakers still understand part of it. That makes the art more powerful in my opinion.
