PODCAST

Akapellah's song 'PODCAST' serves as a meta-commentary on the artist's life, career, and the broader rap industry, delivered through the format of a podcast interview. The lyrics cleverly use the dialogue between the host and Akapellah to explore themes of authenticity, personal growth, and the pressures of public perception. The song begins with a typical podcast introduction, emphasizing the interaction between artists and their audience, setting the stage for a deeper conversation.

Throughout the song, Akapellah addresses various personal and professional questions posed by the host. These include his name change, weight loss, and his roots in the rap scene. His responses are introspective, revealing his commitment to staying true to his identity ('El Goldo Funky') regardless of physical changes, and emphasizing that his real weight lies in his lyrics, not his physical appearance. This dialogue format allows Akapellah to confront and dismiss stereotypes about rappers, such as involvement in crime or substance abuse, asserting his individuality and dedication to his craft.

The song also touches on the fickleness of fame and the music industry's obsession with controversy and viral content. Akapellah criticizes the superficial nature of media and fan engagement that often prioritizes sensationalism over substance. His closing lines challenge the audience and the media to focus on the art rather than the drama, urging them to appreciate the depth of rap as a form of expression that transcends mere entertainment. This bold statement reinforces his role as a conscientious artist who respects his roots and the true essence of hip-hop.
