If Racionais were from US, or if they sing in english they would be considered as big as 2Pac, Wu Tang, NWA, Public Enemy... No doubt about it. They are HUGE!!
Probably. Racionais reached geniality in a lot of moments in their careers. Negro Drama is one of this moments. Simply fantastic work of art. Powerful, defying, beautiful and passionate.
Legal e triste ao mesmo tempo, perceber que o racismo é bem parecido ao redor do mundo e ver minha geração se afundando na extrema direita e ficando um bando de racista mirim distribuindo ódio gratuito a qualquer minoria usando a bíblia como justificativa
When he sings about the “concrete jungle” he is not referring to prison he is in fact referring to the City Of São Paulo, known for its large amount of skyscrapers and buildings Cheers from 🇧🇷
Sim vc tem razão São Paulo selva de pedra .são Paulo é uma cidade de comércio ela funciona 24 hrs vc tem padaria comércio restaurante Club noite Sao Paulo ama adora uma nota de dinheiro de 100 ❤🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 é um lugar legal porem com muita periferia também e lá a lei é outra
@@NancySpunciousnão, não tem duplo sentido, é apenas sobre a cidade, selva de concreto significa uma cidade perigosa, cheia de hostilidade, como uma selva, mas sem a natureza, apenas concreto.
I am Black American and have been listening to Brazilian music since high school. Thats a long time. 😅 I never get tired watching other Black Americans react to Racionais Mcs because I know that we can relate on a deeper level. Most other people react to just the sound, we can relate to the lyrics.
We blacks and pardos(mixed) from around the world are the same people going through the same struggles. They wanted us to be ashamed of our skin, we became proud instead.
Irmão, o vocalista principal se chama Mano Brown, ele é considerado por muitos um dos maiores cantores no cenário nacional assim como o grupo dele, Racionais MC's são os maiores dentro do hip-hop brasileiro.
Brother, the main vocalist is called Mano Brown, he is considered by many to be one of the greatest singers on the national scene, just as his group, Racionais MC's are the greatest within Brazilian hip-hop.
@@jacksondiego5871 se os Racionais tivessem sido descobertos antes, eu concordaria sobre o cenário mundial. Mas, quem perde é o mundo, Mano Brown, Ice Blue, KL Jay e todo os Racionais deveriam ter seus álbuns declarados como patrimônio da humanidade, junto aos álbuns do 2Pac, Biggie, NWA, Public Enemy... E eu incluo nessa lista o Sabotagem, 509-E, MV Bill, RZO... O Brasil tem uma história fantástica e imensa dentro do rap, que o pessoal de fora não conhece, mas está finalmente conhecendo!
It’s kinda crazy to me how many brothers from USA don’t see the non North Americans Blacks as “real” black people sometimes. We have the same origins. Mine and your ancestors came in the same ships, dragged all over the world by the European courtships. This mindset is slowing changing and I’m glad it is. ❤ Cheers from this Latina - but yes - black woman here. Great react video 🤘🏾
If you own the world everything becomes secondary. When the dollar ends as the reserve currency everyone over there will be humbled real quick. It will take time, but you will see blacks from other countries as "equals" when it happens, trust me. That works for whites too, even more tbh, there is no being more entitled than a white american dude with no geographic knowledge.
Vendido pelos ancestrais isso sim. Não jogue toda culpa em algum, estude história. E não se esqueça que os compradores de escravos eram americanos, os descendentes deles estão aí no seu país não na Europa. Fico triste em ver que no Brasil ninguém da importância para antigas famílias escravistas, que construíram sua fortuna com mão de obra escrava e hoje mandam no país.
@@aquivoceficasabendonews3724 eu tô ligado po, o que eu quis dizer é que a reação dele resume o que a gente sente com Racionais, já que ele reagiu assim com 2pac
@@aquivoceficasabendonews3724 ele disse que ele é o favorito dele , proque manda linhas quentes , dai ele diz ''ohhhh ,esse é meu favorito ...com certeza ele é o meu favorito, qual o nome desse cara ,owww'', ele n falou nada a ele ter falado do tupac , todo gringo sabe que o tupac é foda e reconhecido no mundo inteiro .
Here in the states we are so used to the world revolving around us, because in general so much of it does. Our American culture influences around the world, but that makes it really crazy when we realize how big artists can be outside the US without having a presence here. Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan is a great example. When he died in 1997, the world mourned, but here in the US we never even realized his record sales were on a level with Elvis and Michael Jackson.
To you better understand youw own point, North americans consider the own country America, but forgot america is composed of north america and south america, in the moment when US people understand this things life would be easyer.
@@mahs2psytranceman stop with this stpd idea man, ppl been talking this braindead talk all the time and yall didnt even realize that their country is called UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. You get it? AMERICA is part of the country's name. Damn bro ppl acting so dumb these days, yall just want to have something to hate over USA all the time hahaha Its not even a smart critic, what you said is just a bunch of cringe and badly developed reasoning.
We Brazilians don't owe anyone anything when it comes to music, our music is much better than that of your country, because the media swallows the USA and Brazil swallows the media when it comes to music we are better
if portuguese was speaked as much as english, it wouldn't be no doubt about what's the greatest hiphop group ever. racionais' albums are like a bible for us brazilians
They are legends in Brazil, the same way Tupac is in the US, there's no question that they are the biggest ever here. Mano Brown (the one wearing black) is respected and admired by all rappers, everyone knows that he's the OG. React to more songs from them please! In Brazil there's racism too, but also there's many people that are not black in the favelas/slums that are abused because they are poor too
I'm Brazilian, I fell into your video with a parachute, at 12:10 when you say that they put several words in the English language, you can see it, because in several moments of the video the subtitles don't work, they don't translate what you say, watching your video with subtitles, my father was black, a capoeira master, even though my father was famous in the city, I witnessed several situations of racism with him, I also suffered racism, not because I was brown, but because I was poor. Your channel is essential bro. gained another subscriber.
I am a black man and from an early age I was taught that I could neither cry nor appear weak. basically the poor learn to be a machine for society to abuse. Nice reaction bro
Caralho irmão , sou brasileiro e sua visão de mundo e muito realista e precisa você e foda abraço do Brasil, traz mais react de músicas Brasileiras🇧🇷🇧🇷 , recomendo -Racionais a vida é desafio
At 10:07, when this song was first recorded over 20 years ago, internet access was limited to a small portion of the population-mainly the upper-middle class and wealthier groups. Coming from the favelas, he was essentially singing about how he knew very little about the internet and other things that wealthier people had easy access to.
Uma coisa é o Rap brasileiro antes dos Racionais e outra coisa é o Rap depois do Racionais. Os caras são um marco divisor no cenário brasileiro. O Rap brasileiro não seria o mesmo se os Racionais não existissem.
Racionais are huge, I am more into Rock and Blues genre, but every now and then I listen to Racionais and they blew my mind away. I cant explain, they are just awesome. It's like something you must listen and pay the most respect you can.
They are! One of Racionais’ albums was actually required reading for the admissions exams for Unicamp (one of the best universities in the country) for a few years now! Along with some great poetry classics in the Portuguese language!
It's awesome to see people reacting to Brazilian hip hop that really adds something to the reaction and doesn't treat it as material to hit the internet. Hope to see more of your content bro. I recommend u to listen to Tim Maia- Ela Partiu
What you say is so true man.. everywhere we see the same issues, different places same issues. I dream of a future where your looks, skin color, economic situation, religion doesnt matter. I wish so much for a world where people are respected regardless. Yeah Racionais made powerful songs which reflect the situation everywhere....
Thanks for the reaction bro, Racionais is a strong exponent of our culture, and one of our greatest prides, they sing stories and pains but it's so raw and real that it either shocks or generates identification, but you don't come out unscathed.
Jesus Chorou consegue ser melhor que Nego Drama, se é que algo assim é possível. Na minha cabeça, Nego Drama e Jesus Chorou são os dois lados da mesma moeda.
Racionais are like our Brazilian NWA. I am an enthusiastic musician and have dedicated the last few months to studying black music in my country. And as much as I learned listening to Racionais, as a white man who always grew up listening to rock and bossa nova, I learned to understand and respect much more the black history of Brasil thanks to these guys, in addition to having acquired enormous social awareness. Respect, respect and more respect, that's what they deserve and much more than that.
I think that when he says, "since the beginning, for gold and silver" and he means the slavery times, when the Europeans brought Africans to both south, central and north America to collect resources... Great react, congrats 🇧🇷✌🏻
O cara ouviu uma música do Brown e já virou fã, não tem como irmão, Mano Brown e Racionais Mcs são absurdos demais, é tonelada e mais tonelada de talento, os caras conseguem pegar toda a força do ódio que essa p*rra de mundo imprimiu em cima deles e transformar em poesia com uma batida que rasga a alma de qualquer um. O som dos caras é
My bro, I'm from brazil- Sao Paulo, big Racionais' fan... You got me teared up, seeing you react like that to this MASTERPIECE of rap ... thanks for that react! ✌
The line "I come from jungle, im a lion, im to much for you" was supposed to be "I come from Jungle, im a lion, im too much for your backyard" in the translation which makes the line even better and stronger
This was really dope to watch man, as a white kid from brazil who lived for many years in the US, I might not be able to relate but I can apreciate the art, its pure poetry and its really nice to see it gain a well deserved recognition and the way you broke it down. Much love from brazil 🇧🇷
Não importa quantas vezes eu ouça esse som, sempre vou me arrepiar com cada palavra , cada rima que saí da boca dos caras. Pode passar mais 20 anos , o impacto é sempre o mesmo.
Hey! im Brazilian, in first place we are very grateful for the recognition. In our history we had the African people enslaved and brought to work on coffee plantations, etc. That's why we r a super mixed race, but almost everyone in Brazil has an african ancestry. Thanks for seeing our culture and sorry about the English that's not that good. We America too! :))
❤❤🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 amigo essa música aqui no Brazil é um hino. Muito amam e muitos odeiam. Sou branco filho de mae Preta. Amo demais minha mae, é a pessoa maia forte e guerreira que ja conheci. Parabéns pelo canal
Anos 90 no brasil foi um sonho do rap Verdadeiros poetas que mostram as suas realidades e seus anseios. Seria interessante voce entender um pouco do contexto brasileiro na época que essas músicas foram escritas. Brasil é muito rico. Obrigado por assistir
Se analisar, foi tudo no tempo certo. 1988 foi o fim da ditadura, anos 90 ganhamos liberdade para Cantar e soltar umas verdades na cara de todo mundo, coisa que antes de 88 não era permitido fazer.
Amazing understand my man. Racionais is the shit. Been listening since im 8 or 10. It saved alot of time understanding what the world is really like, even thought im privileged myself. Fire video, respect
the complete translation of that part is "i'm from the jungle, i'm a lion, i'm too much for your backyard" love your reaction! keep doing it, brazilians are gonna love
Eu não curto rap, mas é inegável que as letras das músicas dos Racionais são super inteligentes e tão importantes!Ver a reação de estrangeiros a nossa cultura é muito bom. 🇧🇷✨
Thank you for the reaction to this remarcable song. I'm not a person of color, but as many other Brazilians, I can relate to their music in a lot of different ways. They are raw and their music is powerful. Much love from Brazil
When they talk about "gold and silver," in the beginning of the song, they are talking about Brazilian colonial history and the fact that millions of people were trafficked from Africa to work as slaves at the mining economy. This is exactly what connects all the Americas: slavery and colonial exploitation, both the basis of capitalism and racism, were also the basis of the different national states that were created in the whole continent.
RACIONAIS É DEMAIS, EU E MEU IRMÃO TEMOS A MANIA DE FALAR FRASES DA MUSICA DOS RACIONAIS....SHOW...QLQ COISA USAVAMOS FRASES DELE, HJ ELE MORA EM PORTUGAL 😊
Mano, cresci ouvindo essa música, e até hoje me emociono e é muito gratificante ver como essa obra de arte esta se propagando pelo mundo.. mr mano Brown é muito brabo
"I from the jungle, I'm a lion, I'm too much for your yard." That's what he actually says. Cheers Bro didn't know you made a reaction about racionais MCs I grew up listening to them in the 90's
As a Brazilian I love tosee my coulture being a ppreciated internationally. We are VERY proud of Racionais and I personally can't listen Nego Drama without felling emotional. Thank you for your reaction.
Shoutout from Brazil. 3:44 he is talking about the discovering of Brazil when Portugal came here to murder and take the land in 1500. There's many occasions in our history that people, in slavery time, used to make a lot of money using the black people as well. When slavery was criminalized, all the people gathered and that was the start of favelas in Rio, São Paulo and every major city in Brazil.
Cheers from Brazil Big Dip! Nice to see you are enjoying our hip hop, this is one of my favorite songs in the genre. I'd also highly recommend "King of The Hill" ( Rei da Montanha - Facção Central), such intense lyrics and powerful message about social disparity and structural racism
For context, Brazil was the destination of more or less 6 million enslaved Africans - over 7 times more than the US. It's the largest Black diaspora in the world. São Paulo, Racionais' hometown, is the largest city in the Western hemisphere. It's also the largest city in the Southern hemisphere. It's the largest city outside of Asia. So their fanbase is RIDICULOUSLY big.
❤ Hello!! I'm happy to see you knowing and identifying with our music. It's as if regardless of where we were born or what nation our souls represent. Our dimensions of being know each other. So together we become stronger through music, through the story told by us today and experienced daily by black people in much of the world. Unfortunately, racism is real. But our strength, courage and vitality is an untouchable, invincible power. Be happy, my dear! God bless you!!
They opened a concert for the Public Enemy in 1991 and as a Afrobrasilian I'm glad to see Afroamericans finally interested a little more for our culture.
