Rap de Criança (part. Gabriel Rodrigues e Lucas A.R.T.)

The song 'Rap de Criança' by 7 Minutoz, featuring Gabriel Rodrigues and Lucas A.R.T., is a powerful statement about the evolving landscape of rap music. The lyrics challenge traditional notions of what rap should be, blending elements of nerd culture, anime references, and a variety of musical styles to create a unique and compelling narrative. Gabriel Rodrigues opens the song with a series of references to popular culture, including 'USS Callister' from 'Black Mirror' and 'Kuroko no Basket,' a popular basketball anime. These references serve to highlight the diverse influences that shape their music, breaking away from the stereotypical themes often associated with rap.

Lucas A.R.T. continues this theme by emphasizing the versatility and depth of their music. He proudly identifies as a 'poeta nerd,' showcasing his ability to blend geek culture with rap in a way that resonates with a broad audience. His lyrics also critique the superficiality and repetitiveness of mainstream rap, calling out those who rely on ghostwriters and recycled flows. This critique is not just about the music but also about the authenticity and originality that 7 Minutoz brings to the table.

The song also addresses broader social issues, such as the misconceptions about rap and its audience. Lucas A.R.T. points out that rap is not just about gangsta life but can also be a medium for storytelling and education. He challenges the listener to reconsider their prejudices and to recognize the value of different experiences and perspectives. The repeated refrain 'Isso que cê chama de rap de criança?' serves as a rhetorical question, questioning the dismissive attitude some might have towards their style of rap. In doing so, 7 Minutoz reclaims the term and turns it into a badge of honor, celebrating their unique contribution to the genre.
