Drugs, guns, and Mexican propaganda songs 

I'm going to play Mexican gangster rap at a party and see how many people unknowingly dance happily to it.

Fun fact about La Bestia. Mexican politicians wondered how could they reduce the number of deaths occurring among those who climb on it. So they decided to prevent people from climbing. Did they think of a social program to improve people's lives or something really, really smart and productive? Nope... they decided to speed up the train at the places where most people climb, so as to discourage them from doing so. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is Mexican politics.

They said "a centaur who loves to party" like it's outragous and never heard of. Apart from Chiron, centaurs were depicted as and known to be party loving drunks. So that ad seemed pretty spot on.

Narco corridos are everywhere, when I go to parties or family reunions people get very hyped up, dance to it and sing along to these songs and I really get uncomfortable. Not too long ago a corrido singer was killed and it's been told that a lot of these singers are linked to Mexican mafias. I must admit that the songs are catchy and I can see why a lot of people enjoy the music. By the way I'm a new subscriber here and will be binge watching your videos now ! Thanks Rob for bringing me here :D

You forgot to mention Brujeria, the Mex-American grindcore band

That Mexican gangster rap made me think of the opening to a certain Breaking Bad episode.

As a mexican, i really hate those corridos :T

The original corridos from Chalino and Los Tigres del Norte are golden. Modern narco corridos are garbage.

i love the fact u have the germs, the mistfits and black flag posters in the background all great bands i love it :D

"Los corridos la Buchanan's, mi Cheyenne y una escuadra, la cintura de una plebe, y el savor de la lavada" Actually translates to: "The corridos the Buchanan's(whiskey), my Cheyenne(mexican version of the chevy silverado) and my handgun, the waist of a woman, and the taste of the cocaine(lavada is a high grade cocaine in mexico)

This is easily my favorite channel on youtube now. And I haven't looked forward to thursdays or new videos like this since, I first watched youtube. THANKS FOR MAKING GOOD VIDEOS

I was sent by Rob! I love it! I'm at work, binge watching you right now. I subscribed on the first vid I caught. You're awesome!

Yeah I found your channel through rob as well and spent my time from 12am-4am watching your videos. I couldn't stop. Had to keep going to the next video. Keep up the good work.

Just stumbled on this channel in the random suggestions: WHY THE FUCK IS IT NOT MORE POPULAR. The information and quality of the content is better than at least 95% of stuff I watch. Must watch the other stuff.

Corridos are the worst kind of music. Sincerely, a mexican.

Escuadra in that music video is the translation of protractor not squad the guy is referring to his gun ... because the gun has that same 90 degree angle... idk if it matters but there you go

WheezyWaiter brought me here,and Ive been watching your fabulous videos all day at work. Keep up the great work.

iv watched every episode of this exists and am totally hooked thanks to Rob can't wait for next week

Finally a new one, keep up the great work man

Sweet chest hair Sam, glad the channel is finally growing. I figured you guys would get that break sooner or later.

ya this channels sweet, wish i knew about it earlier, problem with having a smaller channel is they dont get pushed like god dam pewdiepie

I actually thoroughly enjoyed this episode. I am so happy to actually have taken a RU-vidr's recommendation (Rob Dyke.) I have subscribed and you keep up the good work! I dig these videos.

4:20 "like the way we destroyed the two towah, haha" rofl

loving your channel dude! :)

Narco Corridos is the reason why I hate living in Sonora

being from Atlanta i would kill to see somone hikhop too funny

You know, I never thought of narco corridos as gangster rap. I love gangster rap, and I always thought g-rap didn't really influence people and the media was over reacting. But seeing it compare to narco corridos, and how much it does influence people kinda blows my mind.

I wouldnt listen if it was from an ad agency. I love narco corridos. I like the fact you used clips of El Komander in your vid. I like the new stuff thats out now but im more into the old corridos. Like corridos villistas. Cool vid , im gonna sub. Here from Rob dyke by the way.

Hi! I´m from Mexico, from the capital City. After watching the first part of your video, i remembered that as a society we recently entered a discussion about "Narco-Corridos", if it was to be legal or completly banned for it being an "apology of crime". There's no actual regulation, but the discussion still continues. BTW, great video

Liked your videos a lot this one the best that I've seen so far :) Also that episode from the Simpsons was one of my favorites

this is my favorite channel on youtube right now

I want to thank Rob Dyke for mentioning your channel! I totally subscribed to you. You have excellent videos!

Oh dude no, The Komander...I really hate that kind of corridos.

Well, if you know it's propaganda, then it's not really propaganda, is it?

I'm surprized you didn't use the song Comando del MP (500 Balazos) by Voz de Mando as an example of Narocorridos. That song is a prime example plus it was and still is super popular.

You deserve all the new subscribers

I'm a new Mexican sub and I enjoy your content keep up the good work

Is there anywhere I can find that Boondox interview?

Another great episode!

Love your channel! Just got sent over by Rob Dyke. Wish I had seen you before, you make awesome videos! Now time to knock off some time of my life and watch ALL the videos!

Haha I knew that Breaking Bad clip would come up. Also that Germs poster is awesome

Great channel needs more push keep up great vids

Great episode! An addendum: Charlie & His Orchestra, created by propaganda minister Goebbels, should be mentioned. It was a swing band whose lyrics would mix typical swing stuff and spoken bits. It was aimed at US and British radio in order to demoralise the troops and citizens. It was most likely also listened by Germans since they were crazy about it (though swing music was forbidden). Two thirds of the songs were issued on CD in two volumes. A whole bunch is covers and the musicians are competent, having been in the German underground jazz scene during the 30s.

Nice material you have, I'm subscribing. :)

Anyone know what the song is at 4:14? No darude - sandstorm pls.

Hi! I'm from México, and all i have to say is that "corridos" but most likely "narco corridos" are liked by the majority. But in the other hand there are people that despises this kind of so called music. Because it just takes a little look to the lirycs and you'll notice that they are praising the ones that are killing and stealing them wich it's actually kind of stupid.

how do yall get your ideas?

Dude.....this is AWESOME!!

whats the song in 2:29 called

i found your channel just today and love it you have a new subbie :) just as a comment i hate this music im from the north of mexico near the border and that music is quite popular here specially at parties after everybody is drunk every weekend is hell for my ears worst part being that its made really catchy so that even if you dont like it it will still ring in your ears for a freaking long time wich sucks :p

whats the song at 4:20?

I am sure that you've heard about how politicians are now trying to outright outlaw the Confederate Flag after the shooting in the church, and I remembered your views on that particular flag and what it represents(ed?), I got to re-watch quite a few of your videos looking for it because it perfectly summed up my thoughts, but as a white New Yorker, if I say it, it's pretty much shot down instantly because I am not from the south.. So it answers your question, yes. This is still a big deal in America and it is ridiculous. Thanks again for your videos and the time and effort you put into making them. I enjoy them even though I don't relate to most of your other fans because I've never heard of most of the bands on your backdrop, nor have I heard of any of the "non-traditional" types of music that you have talked about in a few of your episodes. I am one person who has benefited a lot from all the knowledge which I have gained on your channel.

New Kids on the Bleech is not the only episode with subliminal message in the episode where Lisa goes veggies Linda and Paula Mccartney make an appearance and Paul says theirs a recipe for a good lental soup I don't remember the song but has anyone tried to hear the song that was referenced in that episode did they hear the song and find that lental soup recipe?

Could you please tell me the song name at 2:50 ..? Great episode though~!

bahh the more i binge through this channel the more picante this guy gets...

Fascinating video. Actually learned quite a bit

Found out about your channel from alltime10

Esa musica es para gente que no terminaron la secundaria, a la minoria de los mexicanos les gusta esa mierda

Wow, thank you for showing me this Narco-Credo music. Although unintentional, this maybe a pinnacle for comedy music. Such a jarring juxtaposition between the credo / traditional instrumental and such aggressive lyrics. Some people say that clipping and Death Grips try to "parody" hip-hop tropes, but I think NarcoCredo blows them out of the water in that regard. Instead of taking the music to the most violent extreme, it does a 180 and makes it all sound silly.

Good stuff man

Excellent videos man, keep it up! My opinion (as a mexican) is that narcocorridos heard by youth that don't get a chance of a "good education" in their life, are just promoting that type of lifestyle; such as rap/gangster music in "the hood" (since i've lived in UK and USA).

Sounds like a good alternative soundtrack for Tropico;-)

When I heard Rob give a shout out to you guys, I was so surprised. Not because you suck, but because you're freaking awesome. Anyway, when he made a shout out to you I was already subscribed to both you and Rob.

It took me this long to realize Yvan Eht Nioj is just Join The Navy backwards.

What is the name of the song at 1:27?

Nice vids man i subscribed. Rob sent me here

my co workers listen to that Mexican gangster stuff and i always liked it but didn't know what it really was. Thanks! Awesome show great job

I've just burned through ever one of your videos and I'm finding them really interesting consider me a subscriber.

Anyone remember that Narcocorrido from Breaking Bad, I forget the name but it was by Los Cuates De Sinola

Is this video named after the song "drugs, guns and money" by megadeth??

sorry for this trivial correction, but it's not pronounced Diego, it's Diogo with an "O" in the middle. I'm portuguese, not spanish, but no problem. To finish this was as always a nice episode dude and keep bringing out more stuff like this one.

Oh golly gee when I loaded this video I got a Spanish ad for Walmart.

Great series I love it

*how we destroyed the two towah* idk why, this made me laugh .

I am sure there are people that use the "state's rights" platform for those uses, but there are some people that just do not like big government having too much of a hold on states. States used to make their decisions about policies on a more, on their own foothold, and topics like decriminalization of marijuana is one of those many important policies.

umm whats the name of that Simpsons episode?

Narco Corridos and Drake are my guilty pleasures. Now that I got that out of the way...The stories behind some corridos are captivating, even more so when you know permission has to be given before writing about someone. Which then begs the question, are these merely fantastical stories of guns and drugs, or is there some truth behind them? All in all, narco corridos are catchy, and with their success it is allowing for singers to make the transition to main stream Mexican media outlets more easily. Plus, they're a great way to scare white folks that pull up next to you. Lol

I remember my parents use to listen to these songs all the time. I never knew what they were saying and witness family members dance to this cheerful music with dark lyrics. O.O

Corridos is probably my new favorite genre of music.

You rock man!

Oh lord that debate over the civil war is still somehow raging...

the appeal of music can be several fold from the lyrics to the beat to the delivery and anything can be said in between all of those and the population will suck it up. if you put a good beat to a song like "move bitch (get out the way)" then people will listen to it.

1:00 THEY SOUND SO HAPPY

I remember that Breaking Bad intro. I honestly did not expect it.

Ayyyyeee the ballad of Heisenberg is my jam puro narco corrido XD

Song at 2:57?

jejeje "No más cruces a lo frontero." Me ha hecho bastante gracia.

haha love the clip from Spasmolytic. I love that song and video. so much symbolism

Okay this just further strengthened my belief that the songs with the darkest messages are often the most upbeat and happy...LOL

5:49 never thought I’d see Breaking bad on this show.

Rob sent me and thank god he did

In The Salmon of Doubt, a collection of short articles by Douglas Adams and an unfinished Dirk Gently novel from which the book gets its title, Adams writes about how well written he thought a 007 novel was. Any serious critic of literature would not bother reading a 007 novel for the same reason they wouldn't bother reading a 'Choose Your Own Adventure' book, these things tend to be considered 'trashy' literature. It's worth mentioning at this point that Kurt Vonnegut got started by sending short stories to 'trashy' magazines just to pay the bills. What I'm getting at is what people mean when they say 'art' depends largely on how pretentious they are. Art derives from an old word that has sadly fallen out of fashion: 'Artisan'. An artisan is an expert times five. You may have heard it takes ten years to become an expert? Well, an artisan is presumably someone with a lifelong dedication to their craft who likely had a similarly dedicated teacher. All that being said: I imagine heads of states would be able to find, manage and produce the best artisans in the world. It seems strange to ask 'Would you listen to a song that's intentionally designed to be propaganda?'. What, like you mean "Power to the People" and "Give Peace a Chance" by John Lennon? He admitted freely these were propaganda, and then added 'All You Need is Love' to the list when being interviewed in the seventies. Finally, Casablanca, an anti-axis propaganda film celebrated as one of the greatest cultural achievements of the last century. 'Art' and 'propaganda' are not mutually incompatible. This much seems so obvious to me but it's an idea that just won't go away. The same goes for placement advertising (speaking of Breaking Bad).

That Simpson's episode gave me nightmares as a kid for some reason :/

Wasnt there a similar song in breaking bad?

I think there is a certain credence to be given to this music. It's coming from a culture and way of life that I myself can't even begin to fathom. What's part of the social normative for one culture can be completely backwards and rejected as degenerate by another. Being Canadian myself, I've never had to deal with a culture dominated by gang culture and strict catholic heteronormative upbringings, and to me this seems extreme and unconscionable, but I grew up between suburbs and trailer parks in Ontario. Yes it's violent and extreme, but is not a lot of street rap genre music also as violent? They just portray a different antagonist.

Hey I thought you were sal from Impractical Jokers for a minute.

can you do a episode on vaporwave?

2:50 Mexico's Take on Death Metal

I don't think I'd listen to this type of music. Not because I'm afraid of being brainwashed, but because I hate giving the government money.

what is that yellow and red thing on your chest? It was bugging me to death the entire video!
