Kid Frost - La Familia

Oh yes. It's obvious how much I like raps in Spanglish.

More to the point, Kid Frost was light-years ahead of his time here, sampling the funk out of 70's soul way before Kanye ever did.

At its worst, the American melting pot gives you boring cultural homogeneity. At its best it gives you this: Chicano re-interpretations of African-American music, set to a video themed around the Italian-American mob. Tasty shizzle.

Kid Frost - La Raza

Late-80's gangsta rap, in pure Spanglish. Also with added saxaphone riff, and a rock-solid bassline. I love the video as well - all those 80's camera angles.

Some of the lines in this are really slick: "you're so cool I'ma call you a culo"... nice little bilingual pun there.
