STAY MOLIENDO

Richard ‘Crazy Legs’ Colon from the worldwide legendary ROCK
STEADY CREW

Said it best

 B-Boying is the bastard child of Hip-Hop
Graffiti is the Black Sheep
Dj-ing is the obedient child that always does what its told
And Rap is the spoiled brat….
Who is actually the youngest of the four

 I would like to add by saying that reggaeton is the young stepsister. They both have the same father who is REGGAE and they have different mothers. Reggaeton’s mother comes from Latin America,  shes a freak, knows how to dance and is half Puerto Rican and half Panamanian. Hip Hops mother is a mix of Funk, Soul and Blues, so there fourth she must be African American.

When did Hip Hop officially become a music genre? Maybe it was when Billboards (also known as musics god) tells the world one day "today I introduce to you Hip Hop as a music genre".

Its like this god came and grabbed the youngest son and spoiled it by giving him fame, jewelry, clothes, cars, and everything materialistic that you could think of. Rap loved it, its from the streets.

 Well RAP is all grown up and has had many kids like Christian Rap, Southern Rap, West Coast Rap, East Coast Rap,  Hardcore Rap, Pop-Rap, Street Rap, ect.

 RADIO PLAY is like FOOD for music and music will do anything to eat, sometimes even sell its soul or do anything to alternate its appearance( like making a remix). With that being said POP MUSIC is like the rich popular kid. POP has no problem eating and gaining peoples attention. All though POP is rich and will occasionly come out with a genius idea but most of the time POP comes out with some of the stupidest things and trick people into thinking its cool. Then that cool idea is forgotten and ashamed of.

Since POP has money and a lot of power it has tricked FM Radio Stations into playing POP-RAP and calling it HIP HOP. POP has even
taken the street creditability out of STREET RAP. Meaning you no longer need to have street credentials to make STREET RAP, some of the most successful rappers are Ex-Correctional Officer’s, nerds, and even fake gangbangers and fictious druglords.

So where does MOLIENDO MIX SHOW fit into this subject that has been talked about on numerous shows, ciphers, and magazines? First let me get this off my chest, I love music, I love being Latino, and I love being Hip Hop. But Deep inside I hate calling this music Latin Hip Hop or Hip Hop Latino. Latinos have been in Hip Hop since day one. I don’t believe in segrating music. Why do we segregate HIP HOP on some Black Hip Hop use this bathroom and Latino Hip Hop use this other bathroom. ITS ALL MUSIC!!!!! The same FM Stations that claim to be the Home of HIP HOP, should also play LATINO HIP HOP. Especially if you want Rappers with STREET CRED….lol

But MUSIC is a Business, and if you want people to hear your music you have to categorize it. SUCKS DON’T IT!!! Now tell someone in espanol. Esto es Rap en espanol, they automatically put reggaeton in the same conversation. Yes some reggeaton has raps in their songs, but so does merengue. Reggeaton fell under POPS influence and look what happened. Reggaeton is in its own genre of music just like salsa. Does it always have to be in the same conversation as Latin Hip Hop?

THE MOLIENDO MIX SHOW embraces Latin Hip Hop and Underground Hip Hop. We bring these two subgenres of HIPHOP and mix them together to give you music that you wont hear anywhere else. We do not focus on reggaeton or pop-rap, although we might sneak a track here and there because yes, we like to drink and party. Not only do we mix this music together but we also unite countries together to celebrate REAL HIP HOP. Here you will hear artists regardless of their language or their skin color. You will hear artists from Dominican Republic, Chile, El Salvador and the US all in one playlist. Even in the chat room. THE MOLIENDO MIX SHOW represents the true grind of the underground. We give underground artist the opportunity to get played on radio not just to the local scene but to other parts of the US and most importantly the whole world.

 STAY MOLIENDO FAM’
