Green A
The Elixir of the Gods: A Rapper's True Addiction
Green A's song "Esta Droga Es Especial" is a clever and introspective take on the stereotypical themes often found in rap music. The song begins with a dialogue between the artist and a figure of authority, possibly a mentor or a father figure, who questions Green A's adherence to the conventional rap persona. This figure points out that Green A doesn't conform to the typical rap image—he doesn't boast about cars, degrade women, or claim to be the best. Most notably, he hasn't even made a song about drugs, which is often a staple in the genre.
Green A responds with a twist, declaring that he will indeed make a song about drugs, but in his own unique way. The 'drug' he refers to is not a substance but rap itself. He describes rap as an addiction, a necessity for his well-being, and a source of endless creativity. The lyrics delve into how rap serves as his escape from reality, a way to channel his thoughts and emotions, and a means to achieve his dreams. The metaphor of rap as a drug is extended throughout the song, highlighting its importance in his life and its role in shaping his identity.
The song also touches on the physical and emotional symptoms of withdrawal when he is not engaged in making music. Green A describes anxiety, trembling hands, and a racing heart, all of which subside when he returns to his craft. This vivid imagery underscores the depth of his connection to rap, portraying it as both a lifeline and a source of joy. The song concludes with a playful acknowledgment of the unconventional 'drug' theme, urging listeners to support his work through likes and comments, adding a modern twist to the traditional rap narrative.
