The critique was that in Gambino's video, violence is in the background, expressed as something that happens while people are distracted by the media. In Residente's video is in the forefront, right in your face because it is something that is not masked, it is an everyday reality.

Yes, a couple of examples. If you stand at the grocery checkout and look at the magazines here, you have The Enquirer, Reader's Digest, cooking recipes, etc. Elsewhere, they show the crimes that happened overnight on the front cover of the magazines, blood & face, sort of morbid. Elsewhere, growing up with real combat sports, street fights, etc. I remember the fake wrestling here. That's why the big push with the UFC.

i tried not to cry but seeing that scene of Victor Jara broke me. my dad was an active part in uprisings in the 70s and he fought in the underground against the dictator banzer (also supported by CONDOR) and he knew other socialist fighters from chile etc. so when i see the lyrics they transport me to the stories i heard from my dad while growing up. i am so happy that knox can identify everything and understand the long history of resistance and sorrow that interlace in our culture. loved this reaction✨💯

My grandparents were also part of the uprisings in the 70s, but in Uruguay. I hear their stories and it's terrifying how incredibly close they came to getting caught by Condor. My 4 grandparents were about 15-19 years old at that time and 2 of them exiled to Sweden. The other 2 stayed in Uruguay but they lost so many friends and family.

The first image represents Lolita Lebron, a Puerto Rican activist who in 1954 went to the United States Capitol and demonstrated for the liberation and independence of Puerto Rico. He mentions 5 presidents in 11 days, he passed in Argentina in 2001. He talks about the dead and disappeared due to the Condor operation and the violence that occurred in Colombia and Venezuela during the protests, the uprising of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation in Mexico by women indigenous people with balaclavas. The execution of Víctor Jara, Chilean singer-songwriter who was detained and tortured in the National Stadium of Santiago, they stepped on him and broke his fingers forcing him to sing and play until he was shot in 1973 during the Pinochet dictatorship, also as Bolsonaro from Brazil mockery of his people and has completely forgotten the Amazon, the inequalities of our society, from the conquest, evangelization to the present day and how it has permeated, how the Spanish Crown tortured the caudillo Tupac Amaru II of Peru, a precursor of independence from that country, that by not being able to get information or dismember him by ripping limbs off with horses, they decapitated and mutilated him, many references, it is very crude but that is how our history is, we share pain and our societies have suffered similar penalties...

Amazing reaction. I’m so glad you actually understand what the song is about and break it down so well for people who mostly probably have very little knowledge on the topic. Thanks for this amazing analysis, I am grateful it comes from a non-Spanish speaker and especially from (what seems to me) to be an American. I lived in the USA for a bit and I always found it incredibly weird when people would call it “America” to the point where I honestly at first thought it was “intentional”, but realistically it’s just literally Newspeak. And IMO, there’s actually quite a few videos proving this as most people who aren’t from Latin America are always very shocked by the first “this is not America” graphic element of the video; that’s literally it. Once again, thanks for your wonderful breakdown I’m sure it’ll be of much value to many people 🙏🏼.

Thank you Knox. You give me hope. All other US Americans reactions I have seen are are quite embarrasing. They can't even get past the title, the point that America is not just US. They also get stuck on that one can speak broadly about many issues of the world and not just own experience. Residente is boricua but loves and is loved by all pueblos and peoples of the Americas. World event knowledge and empathy is lacking big time. Things happening in neighboring countries should not be so foreign. We share the same continent.

Estoy genuinamente sorprendida por tus conocimientos sobre nuestra sangrienta y violenta historia Latinoamericana y te felicito. De hecho sos el unico no latinoamericano que ha comprendido el mensaje en la primera escucha. Solo me gustaría hacerte una apreciación. Hay algo que me llamó la atención que has pasado un poco por alto. Los norteamericanos, estadounidenses o yankies, como los llamamos nosotros los latinoamericanos, deberian empezar a plantearse porqué hicieron y siguen haciendo esa apropiación del gentilicio. Como deberían llamarse a uds mismos? Es una discusión que el pueblo estadounidense debería empezar a plantearse( es hora, no?). El gentilicio no les pertenece, nos ofende, nos excluye, nos pone un una categoría de segunda. Si solo Uds son americanos, nosotros, que somos? En general, por lo que aprecié en muchos estadounidenses, no tienen ni idea de lo que hemos atravezado las diferentes culturas latinoamericanas y seguimos haciendolo debido al imperialismo y su nefasta forma de querer dominarnos a traves de los siglos. Estamos reclamando lo que por derecho es nuestro, la identidad. No quiero que me malinterpretes, no es un ataque. Es un llamado a la reflexión.

Tengo para agregar que la imagen donde se ve a quien representa a Tupac Amaru siendo agarrado por policias, corresponde a la muerte que tuvo. Donde lo ataron desde sus extremidades a 4 caballos que fueron cada uno para un lado. Como no lograron arrancarle las extremidades, terminó muriendo a hachazos.

I am not only surprised by your deep analysis, but also by your knowledge about Latinoamerica's culture and history; as you said, mass media in the US keep people in a bubble.

It's such a pleasure to watch all your reactions and break downs because you actually see beyond the "catchy" beat.

Thank you for this, I hope other reactors can appreciate and learn from your video and understand that this song goes way more deeper than dissing Gambino.

[@Lovyenn]

as a Chilean I appreciate your reaction to this video. I recently started watching your reactions to songs, unrelated, just for the sheer musical knowledge and wanting to learn something new. With this song though, I've watched many other people react just because as a latin american it felt important to see how much of what is referenced here is actually known by ppl from the states. I have to say you absolutely blew me away. I expected on point commentary on music and lyrics as always, but I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable on a lot of these topics and to recognize and even explain a lot of the references. My level of respect for you has just shot through the roof. Thank you for putting this breakdown and information out there so more ppl outside of latin america can get an inkling of what goes on and has been normalized here everyday.

La imagen del final, con la palabra América con cuerpos y la palenquera al final, lo entiendo como una manera de representar lo acontecido durante la protesta social de finales de abril, mayo, junio y julio de 2021 en Colombia. "Nos están matando" era una de las frases que más se escuchaba y la palenquera con los colores de la bandera al revés puede representar el llamado de auxilio que hicimos a la comunidad internacional poniendo nuestra bandera al revés. Muy buen análisis, saludos desde Colombia.

Some references: The song is in response to Childish Gambino for his song "This is America". America is a whole continent and not just the USA. The image at the beginning makes an apology for an artistic work by Chilean Alfredo Jaar exhibited on 5th Avenue in New York (This is not America). The woman who shoots is Lolita Lebron, (Puerto Rican activist who went to Congress in 1954 and demonstrated for the liberation of Puerto Rico, was imprisoned for 24 years). The essence of the video is to say that before the gringos ancestors came to invade, there were already cultures here, developed civilizations and they were exterminated, but even so, here we are, we did not leave, we do not leave. Now, the machete is a work tool that is linked to slavery but is also used as a symbol of uprising, of struggle and rebellion against the abuse of the boss, in this case of the governments of each Latin country. The woman who breastfeeds through the fence alludes to the families separated on the northern border of Mexico. The Peruvian revolutionary Túpac Amaru, an indigenous leader who rose up in times of Spanish colonization and was dismembered using horses, the missing students happened in Mexico 43 male students was taken by cops and were all murdered, also talks about the dead and disappeared during OPERATION CONDOR (state political and anti-communist repression campaign created by the United States that included intelligence operations and assassinations of opponents in almost all of America). The execution of Víctor Jara, a Chilean singer-songwriter who fought for the people and was tortured and murdered in 1973 by the Pinochet dictatorship. The women with balaclavas are from the Zapatista indigenous women's movement in the State of Chiapa (Mexico), The shirtless tattooed men are Central American gangs like "La Marasalvatrucha" emerged from the lack of opportunities in Central American countries. The one who wipes his mouth with the flag is the President of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro (for the burning of the Amazon rainforest to turn it into pasture for cattle and crops). It mentions 5 presidents in 11 days, it happened in Argentina in 2001 (the banks kept the people's savings and there was a revolt that expelled the president), it also shows the protests in Venezuela against the dictatorial regime of Nicolas Maduro, including the protestant that they burned in the middle of the march, in the same way the mobilizations in Colombia in 2021 against the government of Iván Duque where the Police cruelly murdered young people, left others blind and raped protestant women. The black woman dressed in colors is a palenquera, a representative fruit seller of Cartagena Colombia. Throughout the video you see the presence of transnational brands that sell garbage to Latinos. Finally, the statue of liberty replaced by the figure of a native aboriginal chief and the Aztec temple in the middle of the city accentuate the idea of ​​the video, we were here first.
