Vico C's Peaceful Battle: A New Approach to Tiraera
Vico C's song "Mi Forma De Tiraera" is a profound reflection on the evolution of his approach to the genre of tiraera, a style of rap characterized by lyrical battles and disses. The song is a testament to his personal growth and transformation from a more aggressive, confrontational rapper to a pacifist who uses his platform to spread positive messages and guide his listeners. Vico C emphasizes that his style of tiraera is potent and sincere, aiming to awaken and guide rather than to boast about violence or dominance.
In the lyrics, Vico C recounts his journey from 1997, when he felt morally unfit to voice his opinions in the rap scene, to his eventual transformation. He moved to Orlando with his family, which marked a significant change in his life and perspective. By 1998, he was ready to release a new production that reflected his evolved mindset. This shift is evident in his decision to avoid cynical or specific attacks in his music, instead opting to share his testimony and experiences. He highlights the internal struggle he faced when dealing with defamation from other artists, ultimately choosing to respond with love and understanding rather than retaliation.
The song also addresses the broader implications of violent lyrics in rap music. Vico C questions the impact of such messages on listeners, particularly the youth, and the potential real-life consequences of glorifying violence. He contrasts this with his own approach, which seeks to offer knowledge and peace. He calls for a shift in the genre, urging other artists to embrace a more constructive and positive message. Vico C's "Mi Forma De Tiraera" is not just a song but a call to action for a more responsible and uplifting use of lyrical power.
