Akapellah's Ode to Chill: The Ritual of Smoking
Akapellah's song "Smoking (feat. Denyerkin)" is a laid-back, humorous exploration of the artist's relationship with marijuana. The lyrics open with a playful dialogue about a missing joint, setting the tone for a track that blends humor with a deeper commentary on the artist's lifestyle and values. The repeated chorus, "Smoking smoking smoking... Ojos rojos chapulin," emphasizes the ritualistic nature of smoking and its role in achieving a state of relaxation and chill.
The verses delve into Akapellah's personal experiences and frustrations, such as the annoyance of losing his stash and the respect he holds for marijuana, comparing it to something as culturally significant as an empanada. He portrays himself as a responsible individual who, despite societal judgments, maintains his integrity and responsibilities. The line, "Soy un buen padre, soy un buen vecino," underscores his belief that his use of marijuana does not detract from his ability to be a good father and neighbor.
The song also touches on the social stigma surrounding marijuana use. Akapellah recounts the challenges he faced with his family and society's perception of him as a smoker. Despite these challenges, he remains unapologetic and embraces his identity, finding solace and creativity in his smoking ritual. The collaboration with Denyerkin adds another layer to the narrative, highlighting a shared experience and camaraderie among those who partake in smoking. Ultimately, the song is a celebration of personal freedom, relaxation, and the cultural significance of marijuana in the artist's life.
