Mata Pero Verde (part. Alex Zurdo y Redimi2)

In 'Mata Pero Verde,' Funky, along with Alex Zurdo and Redimi2, delves into the pervasive culture of sensationalism and controversy that dominates modern media. The song's title, which translates to 'Kills But Sells,' encapsulates the central theme: the idea that content that offends or shocks is often more profitable than content that is wholesome or morally sound. The artists critique how society's appetite for scandal and morbid curiosity drives the media to prioritize sensationalism over substance.

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a media landscape where 'draculas of informatics' and 'anorexic morals' prevail. Funky and his collaborators use metaphors like 'vampires with hunger' and 'clickbait' to describe how media outlets exploit human weaknesses for profit. They argue that this focus on controversy and shock value leads to a distortion of truth and a neglect of meaningful, uplifting messages. The artists lament that messages about faith and morality, such as those about Jesus, are often ignored in favor of more sensational content.

The song also addresses the role of consumers in perpetuating this cycle. By choosing to engage with and share sensational content, audiences contribute to the demand for such material. Funky, Alex Zurdo, and Redimi2 call for a shift in focus, urging listeners to seek out and support content that is edifying rather than merely entertaining. They highlight the importance of discernment in media consumption, encouraging a move away from the 'culture of gossip' and towards a more thoughtful and constructive engagement with information.

'Mata Pero Verde' serves as a powerful critique of modern media practices and a call to action for both creators and consumers to prioritize integrity and substance over sensationalism and controversy.
