La música, además de proporcionar diversión y placer, es un importante elemento de socialización, un medio para vivir emociones y compartirlas, para relajarse y aliviar las tensiones, para comprender y sentirse comprendidos, para encontrar inspiración y manifestar sentimientos. De ahí que nuestra relación con la música sea especialmente intensa durante la adolescencia y la juventud. Así que he decidido que la mejor manera de explotar la creatividad de mis jóvenes sería a través del rap. Los beneficios de este género musical son muchos:
1. Mejora la dicción: Crea mucha agilidad verbal. Además los niños se divierten mucho ‘rapeando’.
2. Agilidad mental: El tener que unir palabras de forma muy rápida, que rimen y además se entiendan, es un buen estímulo para el cerebro.
3. Comprensión verbal abstracta: El rap no une palabras sin más. Las utiliza como clave para expresar determinados pensamientos. Juega con las metáforas y precisa de razonamiento abstracto.
4. Mejora el vocabulario: Para rapear, debes tener un vocabulario rico, que te ayude a encontrar las palabras exactas y colocarlas en el lugar adecuado.
5. Mejora la expresividad: No se entiende el rap sin expresión corporal.
Esta semana les he propuesto un nuevo challenge/reto: observar e imitar una batalla de rap in la clase.
Lo más interesante es que los chicos acogieron la idea encantados y no tardaron a penas nada en componer sus versos. Los dividí en grupos de dos; el ganador era aquel quien se llevaba más aplausos. El tema era de libre elección y no supuso ningún problema para ellos. Sólo les pedí que recitaran como auténticos raperos following this beat:
Sooooo, let’s the show begin!!!
Alejandro / DJ Popcorn
Gimme the base, chap!
I’m you’re President,
Yesterday you bought a tube of VitalDent
Oh yeah!
I’m Dj Popcorn, do you need my help?
I think it’s your end, my friend.
You won’t beat me, Cause I’m scary;
You are playing with a yo-yo
And I say:
– ¡Aquí mando yo!
You’re running home, common!
You listen Justin Bieber,
I’m sleeping in my bed.
I listen Bedlever,
Don’t be so sad,
I like your cat!
it’s easy to beat you,
You know, I’ll meet you
at KFC.
Fran/ Dj Pepito
You think you’re handsome,
But you aren’t, dude.
I think I’m handsome,
Can’t you see that?
You ignore the reality
And nobody tells you
That your girlfriend is mine.
Look at me, carapan!
You’re like Donald Trump;
You think you’re allowed to
Close the borders,
But if I catch you,
I’m gonna rap like I did
Last time when I beat you
In the International Rap Battle.
Many of rappers follow me,
Hey, I’m Pepito, I’m the winner!
Ricardo/ DJ Ryu
Money
– Hey, you can be a thief,
You can get lots of money,
But even though you can’t get anything.
Money is overvalued, man,
You can be rich being Harry Potter’s snitch, yeah!
– Oh, man, you look desperate,
Haven’t you got any money yet?
Oh, I think that no, yeah!
It seems that money is overvalued, indeed;
So if you aren’t rich, you can be happy on the beach, hehe.
– Oh, dude, I’m really happy for you,
But I’m sure you aren’t so happy as you said,
The world of the wealthy can’t be so good,
But at least I appear in the news.
Héctor/Hectorero
I don’t like school
Because it is so boring;
Playing Fornite and having money is what I like.
I don’t like maths because we have to take the calculator
And our maths teaches says:
– See ya later!
I don’t like language lessons,
I prefer using my phone,
It’s useful for playing
Just like my PlayStation 4, yeah!
I like physical education, cause I love doing sports
That’s why I’m so strong.
Do you know why I don’t like school?
Cause I’m gonna be a millionare
And I’m gonna have four Ferraris
That’s why I don’t care!
Soraya
Hey, our politicians are thieves and beasts,
Who get bribes in envelopes
And nobody tells you the truth.
They’re never punished, just steal and amen.
Aren’t they ashamed to belong to the dark side;
This country needs new politicians
Full of good ambitions.
Javi/Skrayon
Hey, I’m gonna present myself:
My name’s Skrayon, the God of this amazing planet;
I’m the boss of this world
And if you don’t respect my rules,
You’ll go to another world
Ruled by a silly God!
Now listen to me, dude,
You’re groggy, you’re the best of noobs;
You have no future,
What do you want to be?
A baby teacher?
You’re my slave,
If you don’t give me your stuff,
I’ll put you in my golden handcuffs.
Then I’ll take you to the jail with another bad bro, I swear!
I Scream
Hey, hey here we are again!
My name is I Scream
And I hate your gleam;
You aren’t my Master,
You’re a complete disaster:
Following me everywhere,
Bossing around and spoiling my air!
You think you’re amazing,
You call me crazy.
But you ignore the truth:
In this world women rule!!!
We rule in our houses,
In our work places as well,
We raise our heads
Looking at the Sun
With no protection ,
Here we come!
Some of you wanna see us blind, limp and shy
But you’re stupid, my friend,
Cause we can also
Fly,
Cry
And shout out loud:
IT’S TIME TO BE STRONG,
THAT’S WHAT WE WANT!!!
