it spicy enough to give you heartburn 208 00:15:13,287 --> 00:15:16,123 Laid out in some park in a district - I'll get you 209 00:15:16,206 --> 00:15:19,126 Smoking a short one for us and my ways 210 00:15:19,209 --> 00:15:21,963 Meat is no longer scarce - Damn foolish kids 211 00:15:22,046 --> 00:15:24,799 We didn't know that being happy meant having everything 212 00:15:24,882 --> 00:15:27,218 I have a bad reputation because drama never suited me 213 00:15:27,301 --> 00:15:28,803 If I have a good life, it's because of every wound 214 00:15:28,886 --> 00:15:30,596 That I've lived through in the past 215 00:15:30,679 --> 00:15:32,014 I traffic rap from Mexico to El Dorado 216 00:15:32,097 --> 00:15:33,474 Leaving this - I had never thought about it 217 00:15:33,557 --> 00:15:34,934 Like a rancher I tend to my herd 218 00:15:35,017 --> 00:15:36,310 You're against me or you're on my side 219 00:15:36,393 --> 00:15:37,311 There's no losing here 220 00:15:37,394 --> 00:15:38,980 If she cries, let her remember 221 00:15:39,063 --> 00:15:41,732 My heart colder than the cold of December 222 00:15:41,815 --> 00:15:44,652 Doing what I want, the years never feel like years 223 00:15:44,735 --> 00:15:46,821 Some beers with the crew, listening 224 00:15:46,904 --> 00:15:48,447 to Vicente Fernandez songs 225 00:15:48,530 --> 00:15:51,951 What's going on 'n on 'n on? 226 00:15:52,034 --> 00:15:53,034 What! 227 00:15:54,244 --> 00:15:56,497 What's going on 'n on 'n on? 228 00:15:59,416 --> 00:16:00,334 What's up Oakland! 229 00:16:00,417 --> 00:16:02,753 What's going on 'n on 'n on? 230 00:16:05,839 --> 00:16:09,510 I am originally from Puebla and for music business 231 00:16:09,593 --> 00:16:11,495 I got a contract in Guadalajara so I have 232 00:16:11,578 --> 00:16:13,431 been living in Guadalajara for six years 233 00:16:13,514 --> 00:16:17,244 I feel that hip-hop orchestra is innovating 234 00:16:17,327 --> 00:16:21,230 because it's mixing two very different genres 235 00:16:21,313 --> 00:16:27,528 and it's making them sound very well together for the audience 236 00:16:27,611 --> 00:16:29,780 for all kinds of people, and they receive it everywhere. 237 00:16:29,863 --> 00:16:31,583 I know they are going to like it very much. 238 00:16:32,908 --> 00:16:35,494 I'm not afraid to go out and find it when life falls short 239 00:16:35,577 --> 00:16:38,039 But I don't complain because nothing frustrates me 240 00:16:38,122 --> 00:16:41,125 Planting seeds so that fruit will grow 241 00:16:41,208 --> 00:16:43,753 They said I couldn't because I had bad behavior 242 00:16:43,836 --> 00:16:45,171 Always serious... 243 00:16:45,254 --> 00:16:47,465 Make way - I've stirred up the henhouse 244 00:16:47,548 --> 00:16:50,551 Of course, a thousand times a person before a rapper 245 00:16:50,634 --> 00:16:52,470 Painful nights wanting to get out 246 00:16:52,553 --> 00:16:54,597 Searching for the path along this trail 247 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:58,225 Gray days, cloudy days - In the end the sun shines on us 248 00:16:58,308 --> 00:17:01,395 If it's cold, my faith warms even the metal of a grill 249 00:17:01,478 --> 00:17:04,315 I came to make a revolution with lyrics like Pancho Villa 250 00:17:04,398 --> 00:17:06,692 I'm always ready for sarcastic comments 251 00:17:06,775 --> 00:17:09,737 I'm tough on my enemies - They think I'm satanic 252 00:17:09,820 --> 00:17:12,490 Neither bad nor fantastic, but a little lunatic 253 00:17:12,573 --> 00:17:15,618 Every time I take the mic the girls find me charming 254 00:17:15,701 --> 00:17:18,579 I work the scene to keep the pantry full 255 00:17:18,662 --> 00:17:21,374 Thanks to such good lyrics, my wallet is full 256 00:17:21,457 --> 00:17:24,293 They talk behind my back, trying to cash in on me 257 00:17:24,376 --> 00:17:26,837 Birds on the wire - let them come closer without shame 258 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,674 I'm heavy caliber, that's how I express myself 259 00:17:29,757 --> 00:17:32,510 Now those who were there when there was no money are with me 260 00:17:32,593 --> 00:17:35,054 When I go out to the street, I kiss my daughters 261 00:17:35,137 --> 00:17:37,973 Because only God knows if maybe I won't return 262 00:19:57,112 --> 00:20:00,866 It takes the virtuosity of these two very different styles 263 00:20:00,949 --> 00:20:04,870 of music and doesn't blend them together, necessarily, 264 00:20:04,953 --> 00:20:07,748 but allows them each to stand on their own. 265 00:20:07,831 --> 00:20:11,168 And I can't think of any other type of music that does this 266 00:20:11,251 --> 00:20:13,087 and with quite the dexterity 267 00:20:13,170 --> 00:20:15,589 that the Hip Hop Orchestra Experience does. 268 00:20:15,672 --> 00:20:19,510 From a hip hop standpoint, people 269 00:20:19,593 --> 00:20:22,388 who are generally coming here maybe as a, 270 00:20:22,471 --> 00:20:26,183 with a hip hop background, it kind of blows their mind. 271 00:20:26,266 --> 00:20:27,518 It can be triggering for some people 272 00:20:27,601 --> 00:20:29,270 because it may feel like, hey, those 273 00:20:29,353 --> 00:20:32,606 who don't look like me are doing my music. 274 00:20:33,732 --> 00:20:36,360 But I think that that's unfair. 275 00:20:36,443 --> 00:20:38,028 I think that art is beautiful 276 00:20:38,111 --> 00:20:42,658 and all people should be able to do all things artistically. 277 00:20:42,741 --> 00:20:46,412 So for some folks hip hop is a part of their personhood 278 00:20:46,495 --> 00:20:49,415 growing up, y'know, I listened to this kind of music, 279 00:20:49,498 --> 00:20:50,749 I dressed this kind of way 280 00:20:50,832 --> 00:20:52,751 and now this is a different version of that 281 00:20:52,834 --> 00:20:55,421 that doesn't represent the way I grew up listening to it. 282 00:20:55,504 --> 00:20:56,505 That could be the challenge and 283 00:20:56,588 --> 00:20:58,548 that can be the trigger for a lot of people. 284 00:21:43,844 --> 00:21:46,222 I woke up today, I'm blessed, I'm worriless 285 00:21:46,305 --> 00:21:48,307 I'm stress free the hate don't bother me 286 00:21:48,390 --> 00:21:51,435 Positivity is the only thing that I see 287 00:21:51,518 --> 00:21:53,020 I'm blind to the negative 288 00:21:53,103 --> 00:21:55,940 On the news you see murders and shootings it's repetitive 289 00:21:56,023 --> 00:21:58,901 I lost my cousin then my granny it was consecutive 290 00:21:58,984 --> 00:22:02,112 I'm all about my business you can call me an executive 291 00:22:02,195 --> 00:22:04,490 I'm very wise you can see it in my eyes 292 00:22:04,573 --> 00:22:07,409 Many people losing faith but I'm not surprised 293 00:22:07,492 --> 00:22:10,287 You have to be like the sun and rise 294 00:22:10,370 --> 00:22:13,499 When you find happiness all the negative dies 295 00:22:19,671 --> 00:22:22,132 I been through a lot but I ain't make no excuses 296 00:22:22,215 --> 00:22:22,968 I got the bruises to prove it 297 00:22:23,051 --> 00:22:26,387 Yo' mind you can't lose it, especially 298 00:22:26,470 --> 00:22:27,763 Up in the storm 299 00:22:27,846 --> 00:22:28,598 Look 300 00:22:28,681 -->

Mind over matter, sit back and watch 'em scatter 306 00:22:45,864 --> 00:22:48,659 I'm reaching for the stars I climbed up the ladder 307 00:22:48,742 --> 00:22:52,037 My mind so clear like the water in my bladder 308 00:22:52,120 --> 00:22:54,581 They want to copy my style they really like my swagger 309 00:22:54,664 --> 00:22:57,501 Life is a journey don't stress about what's after 310 00:22:57,584 --> 00:23:00,421 I believe in you even through the tears and laughter 311 00:23:00,504 --> 00:23:03,257 Less being pessimistic and more optimistic 312 00:23:03,340 --> 00:23:06,427 It ain't Christmas this month but I'm still gifted 313 00:23:06,510 --> 00:23:09,013 I rose above the concrete I'm thankful that I lifted 314 00:23:09,096 --> 00:23:12,182 The pandemic took a toll on the world then it shifted 315 00:23:12,265 --> 00:23:14,810 I've been through a lot but I ain't make no excuses 316 00:23:14,893 --> 00:23:17,896 I got the bruises to prove it yo' mind you can't lose it 317 00:23:17,979 --> 00:23:19,356 Especially 318 00:23:19,439 --> 00:23:21,442 Up in the storm 319 00:23:21,525 --> 00:23:23,986 Let's come together and form 320 00:23:24,069 --> 00:23:26,989 I've been through a lot but I ain't make no excuses 321 00:23:27,072 --> 00:23:29,992 I got the bruises to prove it yo' mind you can't lose it 322 00:23:30,075 --> 00:23:31,285 Especially 323 00:23:31,368 --> 00:23:33,495 Up in the storm 324 00:23:33,578 --> 00:23:36,081 Let's come together and form 325 00:24:05,694 --> 00:24:07,696 You have to burn off all that negative emotions. 326 00:24:09,156 --> 00:24:12,451 Y'know, life ain't perfect, neither are we. 327 00:24:13,702 --> 00:24:16,955 It's okay, life, life gonna be life. 328 00:24:17,038 --> 00:24:18,916 But you stay strong. 329 00:24:18,999 --> 00:24:20,793 It's gonna be okay. 330 00:24:20,876 --> 00:24:22,669 We gonna be a'right. 331 00:26:03,353 --> 00:26:06,106 When we don't know what we're listening to 332 00:26:06,189 --> 00:26:08,025 either stylistically 333 00:26:08,108 --> 00:26:11,653 or through language, it makes us uncomfortable. 334 00:26:11,736 --> 00:26:14,573 Music is often seen as entertainment 335 00:26:14,656 --> 00:26:16,950 and we don't expect to be uncomfortable when we're being 336 00:26:17,033 --> 00:26:17,785 entertained. 337 00:26:17,868 --> 00:26:19,828 Because it's neither 338 00:26:19,911 --> 00:26:21,747 this nor that 339 00:26:21,830 --> 00:26:25,709 I think it, it takes people off guard and 340 00:26:25,792 --> 00:26:29,713 because of that there's more openness to the music 341 00:26:29,796 --> 00:26:33,800 and I think that it, it goes straight to the heart. 342 00:26:33,883 --> 00:26:35,802 Oh, classical music, 343 00:26:35,885 --> 00:26:38,931 and oh hip hop, y'know, like oh, oh... 344 00:26:39,014 --> 00:26:42,100 And the way that it's blended 345 00:26:42,183 --> 00:26:45,270 it completely destroys those kind of divisions 346 00:26:45,353 --> 00:26:47,689 that are completely artificial. 347 00:26:47,772 --> 00:26:52,194 And for me that is really one of the main things 348 00:26:52,277 --> 00:26:57,282 that this ensemble does that mix people together 349 00:26:57,657 --> 00:27:02,662 and breaks all those artificial things that divide us. 350 00:27:18,595 --> 00:27:21,723 Take a little time for yourself 351 00:27:21,806 --> 00:27:24,726 Have an open mind and be kind to your health 352 00:27:24,809 --> 00:27:27,771 Embrace what's been dealt don't camouflage what's felt 353 00:27:27,854 --> 00:27:30,607 Eventually the misery won't be worth mentioning 354 00:27:30,690 --> 00:27:34,194 Precision with your energy reinforces the mission we 355 00:27:34,277 --> 00:27:37,030 Set out envisioning, babies are born glistening 356 00:27:37,113 --> 00:27:39,700 As I grow older I struggle to keep it shimmery 357 00:27:39,783 --> 00:27:42,953 When I fall off my game I just hustle from muscle memory 358 00:27:43,036 --> 00:27:45,789 Infinite agility I have an affinity 359 00:27:45,872 --> 00:27:47,717 The fire burning within me gently 360 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:49,418 needs rekindling now and then 361 00:27:49,501 --> 00:27:51,003 Despite all the suffering 362 00:27:51,086 --> 00:27:52,546 The world got us stuck up in 363 00:27:52,629 --> 00:27:54,673 I keep a piece of me in tranquility 364 00:27:54,756 --> 00:27:57,801 To fight the anxiety given by the society 365 00:27:57,884 --> 00:28:01,305 Through violence and rioting I'm protected I'm unaffected! 366 00:28:17,153 --> 00:28:20,240 When you know what focusing is moving a boulder is bliss 367 00:28:20,323 --> 00:28:23,327 The global warming can get hotter and hotter but still 368 00:28:23,410 --> 00:28:26,204 I have adapted a skill to keep my attitude chill 369 00:28:26,287 --> 00:28:29,082 And let my aptitude build 'til it enhances the magic 370 00:28:29,165 --> 00:28:31,084 That helps us censor the tragic moments 371 00:28:31,167 --> 00:28:34,046 Givin' my life a bonus when tragedy creeps up on us 372 00:28:34,129 --> 00:28:35,297 I'm living within a fortress 373 00:28:35,380 --> 00:28:38,258 At night I can't hear no voices but quiet enough to focus 374 00:28:38,341 --> 00:28:40,469 I'm hearing the sounds of oceans 375 00:28:40,552 --> 00:28:43,472 And like trees we sway in the breeze all day 376 00:28:43,555 --> 00:28:46,558 But the darkness offers a different energy 377 00:28:46,641 --> 00:28:48,977 I can sink and breathe within the tranquility 378 00:28:49,060 --> 00:28:52,314 I have the serenity giving me an inner peace 379 00:28:52,397 --> 00:28:55,776 That I carry in my sleep giving me tremendous dreams! 380 00:28:55,859 --> 00:28:57,736 Then I'm waking up in the morning, phone is blowing up 381 00:28:57,819 --> 00:28:58,571 before I'm yawning 382 00:28:58,654 --> 00:29:00,072 Scroll until y'know all of the issues 383 00:29:00,155 --> 00:29:01,740 Who is doing what with all the missiles? 384 00:29:01,823 --> 00:29:02,575 Check the tally score... 385 00:29:02,658 --> 00:29:04,117 How many rights left? No one really cares not the right-left 386 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:05,202 or the in between... 387 00:29:05,285 --> 00:29:07,412 Claiming they righteous normally the street playing violence 388 00:29:07,495 --> 00:29:08,955 Reality has now become a nightmare 389 00:29:09,038 --> 00:29:10,207 Casualties of war standing right there 390 00:29:10,290 --> 00:29:11,541 I don't pay attention to tension 391 00:29:11,624 --> 00:29:15,837 'Cus I'm in a place where I'm ascending! 392 00:29:22,302 --> 00:29:25,055 Why is there equipment built to destroy all the living? 393 00:29:25,138 --> 00:29:27,182 And war is the invention to solve opposing opinions 394 00:29:27,265 --> 00:29:28,686 Compassion is a distant 395 00:29:28,769 --> 00:29:31,103 indifference to those with billions 396 00:29:31,186 --> 00:29:33,689 Why does it correlate to be rich is to be an idiot 397 00:29:33,772 --> 00:29:34,981 I'm not getting it 398 00:29:35,064 --> 00:29:38,527 It's getting a little ridiculous the systematic oppression 399 00:29:38,610 --> 00:29:40,654 It's engineered so meticulously... 400 00:29:40,737 --> 00:29:42,572 But I'm still able to breathe and leave it behind me 401 00:29:42,655 --> 00:29:46,451 Because I'm not afraid of the day when I am dying 402 00:32:28,363 --> 00:32:30,824 I think what people are feeling now, majority 403 00:32:30,907 --> 00:32:35,328 of people are feeling anger, desperation and fear 404 00:32:35,411 --> 00:32:39,207 and uncertainty because of the economic situation. 405 00:32:39,290 --> 00:32:42,502 So it really creates more 406 00:32:42,585 --> 00:32:46,840 and more conflict and more tension in the society. 407 00:32:46,923 --> 00:32:51,219 I think that that is worldwide with the rise of the, all 408 00:32:51,302 --> 00:32:54,014 of these extremist political parties 409 00:32:54,097 --> 00:32:57,309 and extremist views is representative 410 00:32:57,392 --> 00:33:01,479 of this new fear that the world seems 411 00:33:01,562 --> 00:33:05,692 to be having about the risk of 412 00:33:06,609 --> 00:33:09,446 sharing is becoming too great 413 00:33:09,529 --> 00:33:12,574 and that maybe we need to go back to the way things used 414 00:33:12,657 --> 00:33:15,744 to be when we didn't share, which never existed. 415 00:33:15,827 --> 00:33:17,954 But I think that finding ways through 416 00:33:18,037 --> 00:33:19,225 what the Hip Hop Orchestra 417 00:33:19,308 --> 00:33:21,082 Experience is doing - through trying 418 00:33:21,165 --> 00:33:23,960 to create new concert experiences, 419 00:33:24,043 --> 00:33:28,798 but demonstrating that not only is it not scary, 420 00:33:28,881 --> 00:33:32,010 but reminding society 421 00:33:32,093 --> 00:33:36,932 that sharing the experiential is profoundly 422 00:33:37,015 --> 00:33:41,311 moving and far more fulfilling than 423 00:33:41,394 --> 00:33:44,772 just celebrating what you already know. 424 00:33:57,577 --> 00:33:59,037 Hey! 425 00:34:00,371 --> 00:34:01,371 Yo!

00:34:35,323 Everything is moving very slowly 439 00:34:35,406 --> 00:34:37,742 Rap was like a bottle of water in the desert 440 00:34:37,825 --> 00:34:40,078 That's why I'm active and attentive to

We bring rap metal like... 463 00:35:50,523 --> 00:35:53,026 Forewarned is forearmed - I don't follow the flock 464 00:35:53,109 --> 00:35:55,487 What you don't consume shouldn't hurt you 465 00:35:55,570 --> 00:35:57,822 My body is more scratched than a bathroom wall 466 00:35:57,905 --> 00:36:00,158 In vandalism mode, I cover my face with cloth 467 00:36:00,241 --> 00:36:02,410 Always a pirate like the Raiders logo 468 00:36:02,493 --> 00:36:04,829 Walking style, sideways like a lowrider 469 00:36:04,912 --> 00:36:07,457 Put your hands up, hands in the air 470 00:36:07,540 --> 00:36:10,085 We bring heavy metal rap like Iron Maiden 471 00:36:11,836 --> 00:36:14,798 We bring heavy metal rap like Iron Maiden 472 00:36:17,049 --> 00:36:18,843 Put your hands up, hands in the air 473 00:36:21,596 --> 00:36:23,848 Always a pirate like the Raiders logo 474 00:36:23,931 --> 00:36:27,227 Walking style, sideways like a lowrider 475 00:36:33,149 --> 00:36:35,276 Walking style,

00:40:07,280 we will not have a common vision of beauty. 479 00:40:07,363 --> 00:40:10,867 I have to be willing to accept what you find beautiful. 480 00:40:10,950 --> 00:40:14,871 So we have to be willing to 481 00:40:14,954 --> 00:40:19,792 look at ourselves and, and accept the opinions 482 00:40:19,875 --> 00:40:21,461 and the ideas of others. 483 00:40:21,544 --> 00:40:26,090 I think that the vision of the people is unified globally. 484 00:40:26,173 --> 00:40:28,217 And I think that the real question is, 485 00:40:28,300 --> 00:40:31,721 will the true story ever be allowed to be told 486 00:40:31,804 --> 00:40:34,057 when the media is so controlled 487 00:40:34,140 --> 00:40:37,643 and contrived to produce the desired outcome. 488 00:40:37,726 --> 00:40:39,771 It's more like a catalyst 489 00:40:39,854 --> 00:40:44,275 that will help them think about bigger things. 490 00:40:44,358 --> 00:40:47,403 So, and apply it to everything. 491 00:40:47,486 --> 00:40:52,116 I mean I know I do now even more when I look at my daughter 492 00:40:53,242 --> 00:40:55,995 and everything that she does 493 00:40:56,078 --> 00:41:00,541 and it makes me rethink the way that I live my whole life. 494 00:41:01,500 --> 00:41:05,463 And so if there are things like that, that 495 00:41:05,546 --> 00:41:09,842 can trigger you to think differently 496 00:41:09,925 --> 00:41:13,221 and to maybe begin again 497 00:41:13,304 --> 00:41:18,017 or have a different way of thinking to, 498 00:41:18,100 --> 00:41:22,897 to guide you, I think beauty probably could save the world. 499 00:41:22,980 --> 00:41:25,858 I mean we should get some t-shirts or bumper stickers 500 00:41:25,941 --> 00:41:28,194 or something, right? 501 00:41:33,616 --> 00:41:34,368 Invade 502 00:41:34,451 --> 00:41:35,493

loudly 641 00:48:13,807 --> 00:48:17,061 what this country was created for 642 00:48:17,144 --> 00:48:20,231 and what it means in the eyes of the world 643 00:48:20,314 --> 00:48:22,274 and why people wanna come here. 644 00:48:22,357 --> 00:48:26,529 Rediscovering our values of being 645 00:48:26,612 --> 00:48:31,241 an innovative inclusionary society 646 00:48:32,367 --> 00:48:35,621 has just gotten lost in this tribal warfare 647 00:48:35,704 --> 00:48:37,957 of incredibly rigid 648 00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:42,628 and inflexible culture has sort of devolved into. 649 00:48:42,711 --> 00:48:44,504 So how do we solve it? 650 00:48:46,298 --> 00:48:48,634 I don't think we know that right now. 651 00:48:48,717 --> 00:48:50,594 And I'm not saying that 652 00:48:50,677 --> 00:48:53,055 what we are doing will solve these issues. 653 00:48:53,138 --> 00:48:54,306 But I do know that 654 00:48:54,389 --> 00:48:59,144 what we are doing will generate prototype of new way 655 00:48:59,227 --> 00:49:02,606 of doing things, which we desperately need right now. 656 00:49:02,689 --> 00:49:05,401 Because if you're trying the same things 657 00:49:05,484 --> 00:49:07,820 and then expecting a different result, 658 00:49:07,903 --> 00:49:09,321 that's the definition of insanity. 659 00:49:09,404 --> 00:49:13,659 So I feel like it is crucial that we try something new. 660 00:49:26,505 --> 00:49:29,550 Homie I be out here standing 10 toes down 661 00:49:29,633 --> 00:49:32,219 Feeling like the hardest working man on my side of town 662 00:49:32,302 --> 00:49:35,097 Gotta make them
