hey, this is some Dominican Hip Hop, Dominican republic is a country right next to Puerto Rico, and in PR there are many Dominican immigrants, they also speak spanish, pretty similar to Puerto ricans & Cuban, but with they own style...
anyway, i was feelin' this song right here, it goes real hard, has a good message, but has a lil bit of Jamaican swing to it.
its called "Hasta Manana" and its from Vakero
its about a dude thats poor in DR, he got a girl and a kid, and he's tryin' to better himself for the future of his small kid and his girl...
the chorus goes:
Hasta mana~na negra linda... (See you tomorrow my beautiful black girl...)
me voy pa la calle... (Im goin' to the streets...)
a trabajar duro... ( to work real hard)
pa la comida yo buscarte (to put food on the table, literally "to get
food for you)
and he's talkin' bout workin' and just wanting to come home and kick it with his son and wife...
then at the end, he's chillin' singin' this...
Pronto vamos a dejar (soon we gonna stop...)
de vivir parte atras (living in the back!)
de vivir parte atra (living in the back!)
te lo prometo mama (this i promise you mama! or (baby))
heres the video, hot ****! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsPrQn47jfA

whats up...ok, to my understanding, most of the black people in Panama are of Jamaican ancestry, because when they did the Panamanian canal, a bunch of jamaicans left jamaica for Panama to work at the canal, they are the largest immigrant group in Panama, just like Dominicans are the largest in Puerto Rico,

pa ca= over here
pa lante= forward
ta bien= fine, okay
sta bien= fine, okay (same like 'ta bien)
echa pa lante= come forward/ go on“If cats looked like frogs we'd realize what nasty, cruel little bastards they are. Style. That's what people remember.” ― Terry Pratchett. -
that song was actually not that good for Vakero. you like dominican rap? if you don't listen to it a lot, Toxic Crow and Lapiz Conciente are the 2 hardest in the country (in my opinion) Originally Posted by elsabelotodo

i love the beat and rhythm of the song -
Thank you so much citalli!!
These slang expressions have been such a big question in my mind for such a long time!!!
That is pretty much what I was guessing that they meant but I needed clairification.
I think pa que can = para qué ?= what for? why?
or it can =pa' que = para que = so that =as in Yo Soy Boricua, Pa'Que Tu Lo Sepas (I'm Boricua, Just So You Know)
Am I right?

"All of ya" (to'a) - Kaizer Sose ft. Gem Star
The first guy rapping is African American, but he's flippin' back in forth from English to Spanish,
& the second guy is Dominican or Puerto Rican, can't remember, but he spits all in spanish. Let me know if you guys are feeling it, this song is starting to get really big where I am!!
i like it because its like a perfect mix of the two cultures!
ok, quiero que uds opinen de esta cancion!

"All of ya" (to'a)- Kaizer Sose ft. Gem Star
El primer cantante es puro afro-americano, pero le mete en espanol y ingles, y el segun es dominicano o boricua, no me acueldo, pero tira en espanol completo. Dejenme saber si a uds le gusta la cancion, se esta poniendo bien pegao donde vivo yo!!
me cae bien porque es una mezcla de las dos culturas hiphoperas! -
ese tema ta ratata. i can't believe the first guy is black. he sounds like a dominicanyork Originally Posted by elsabelotodo
and the second guy is dominican (he's got a song called Que Lo Que jaja) -

I like a lot of interesting changes in the music.

Why is jeva better than tipa for a girlfriend?
Can you use those words in the masculine for a boyfriend?
tipo, jevo?
Thanks sooo much JoyceLife is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away! -
Tipa is kinda disrespectful..... Originally Posted by Urbaniak

Esa es mi jeva....I dunno...I guess it just means more...ya know?
Yeah you can say Jevo and Tipo as the masculine.Dime cosas dulces para que cuando te las tengas que tragar, no te sepan tan amargas!!! -
Hi again
Let me get this right.
If I called a guy my tipo would I be saying he is my boyfriend or maybe somebody I sleep with but don't take seriously? Is that why tipa/ tipo is disrespectful?
If I called him my jevo I would be giving him and the relationship more respect?
If I called him my amante it would mean it's a serious relationship?
Of course the question goes in the opposite for a girlfriend
tipa, jeva,amante
THANKS AGAIN
Ohhh How do I bump up someones reputation?
I did it once but now I have forgotten how I did it. LOL
It stinks getting old.

tipa is pretty much like the word b*tch in america the way we use it for every girl when we don't know their names individually. it's not AS disrespectful, but it's pretty close

Thanks dmoney
I think I get it.

well just imagine it like b*tch and you're right. same thing for tipo (at least to me it is). i never say tipo personally. Originally Posted by Urbaniak

"regular Joe"
This dosen't even come close to b*tch in my mind.
I guess it's one of those words that depends a lot on context or tone.
