The only fame he has is running free in non free countries talking SHIT about been free while he is free. While the people in does non free countries look up to him because their not free but in reality hes just getting them for their money AMERICA DOLLARS why dont be charge in columbian money or venezuela money since he hates the U.S.. THE FREEDOM OF SPEACH THAT ALLOWS HIM TO TALK SHIT IS BECAUSE HES AMERICAN THATS WHY IN VENEZUELA HE DONT SAY SHIT ONLY IN COLOMBIA BECAUSE COLOMBIA BELEIVES IN DEMOCRACY. OTHER WISE BED BE IN JAIL. THATS WHY HE DOESNT LIVE HERE IN Puerto Rico, no one here likes him. Ask him how many american flags hes burned here in Puerto Rico?

Check out Netflix's ''RESIDENTE'' documentary (it's in English for all you english-speaking people). He shows some of the countries he went to to make his music for his last album as a solo artist (''Residente''), also the different cultures and conflicts involved. It's amazing.

[@eldormido8a]

Residente is the dopest rapper ever to grace us on this earth. He brings his people to the main stage and doesn’t hold back at all. Glad he was able to hit the main stream with Calle 13 but humbled with what he does through his platform. Lyrically a true pioneer and a stage setter through all he does. Gracias señor por hacer lo posible. Sway, thanks for having him on your mic bro. Wish you all could truly vibe to his lyrics how me and my Mexican family do. He is hands down real, true, humble and a lyrical power unlike anything we have ever had for Spanish rap. 💯💯🔥🔥👌🏽👌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@CHUPAQUI100]

My jawns: La Fokin Moda, La Era De La Copiaera, & Repito. As René was saying, there are small groups also in Puerto Rico that are descendants of French (Betancourt & others), Italian (Palmieri etc.), & other countries, but mainly Spain, Africa (Yoruba), & Arawâk (Taino) natives.

andres emme that’s the name of our country bro. United States of America. So you’re partially right, but also wrong. I’m Mexican American by the way, so no prejudice here. Just facts. I remember visiting Mexico and my cousins would get mad when I said I’m American. They’re like we’re American too. Maybe continent wise, yea.

Rene is the triple OG in latin America

Grew up NY late 80s to mid 90s. Fav album from that era is Dare Iz a Darkside. Used to love Nas, Nice and Smooth, biggie, Jeru, Mobb Deep, Smith N Wesson, and anything Primo or Erick Sermon touched. Still listening to HipHop today. There have been other masters of the craft from all places, but Residente might be the GOAT.

[@LouieV6]

I listen to all of those guys you mentioned, but Residente is dope as fuck! Undoubtedly the Puerto Rican Immortal Technique.
