So on February 17, his 30th birthday, Chocolate MC released <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the delivery republic<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buya Music Productions<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, 2021), which he said would make the cast a place in the entertainment industry and in &quot;the history of the global urban genre&quot; (from what I understand from the cover, where he poses crowned in front of a burning medieval kingdom, the real plan is to occupy that place in history, and in the process sneak a few, always as subjects, always in the queue).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Republic\u2026<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> open with an idea <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tremendous turn on<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a theme from 2011: &quot;A while ago I was a fan like you, but you made me what I am today.&quot; And then Chocolate chronicles \u201chow his mother gave him the talent to be the first\u201d, that he is heir to the legacy of Elvis Manuel, and that, in essence, he is the king, the only president, the best, the toughest, most complete and most capable of morfa, that Cuban version of reggaeton.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"youtube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KQhPDrVwQyE\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chocolate has records to fill several shelves because they are as easy for him as putting together a few songs, and for him making songs is as easy as standing in front of a microphone and downloading the cue effect.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What happens is that there must be a point, for an artist like Chocolate, the head of a genre <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">underground<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that it is trying to reach other leagues, where music must be taken seriously and conceive and release a mature album to the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Republic<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2026, the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Intro<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> He closes by swearing by Elvis that you (who knows who, presumably Yomil and El Chulo) don&#039;t hit a song anymore. And then:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Theme 2: the same, I invented the genre and you envy me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Topic 3: I&#039;m with a tremendous turn on and I was the one who taught you and you don&#039;t remember (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">feat<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Even Chocolate himself gets bored and releases a love theme in the fifth, which ends with the pattern that you know that I give you birth. And in case it wasn&#039;t clear, in issue 6, with Anubix and El Micha, he explains that he&#039;s good, good, good and there&#039;s no one to stop him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The worst thing about this is not even that he repeats it so much, the worst thing about this is that he doesn&#039;t show it. He spends more than half of the songs without variations in the melodies, which is sad, because he has been the most creative melodic in the genre for years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In an album with distribution and more distribution, with few variations in the structures and even in the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">plugin<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, boring that the protagonist spends too much time without taking risks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On an album full of second parts of songs that worked without him (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spell<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of Wildey, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">black pussy<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of Kimiko and Yordy, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mess is mess<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of El \u00daniko), or with him, but a truckload of time ago (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sex<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with Jackal and Jakarta, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">titanica<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with Harryson), a king-president cannot afford to shine less than his guests (his subjects, in the kingdom of his record).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One has, in the case of these remixes, the feeling that they were not needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"youtube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IyAphQvBd0I\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chocolate, however, is still a good rapper.
