N'sync may talk about real things, but what I mean is that Corridos are all true stories. They HAVE to happen. To understand corridos is to understand Mexican culture, because corridos are our way of passing on stories from generation to generation. Obviously, if one is not part of the culture, or at least familiar to it without being biased, it is difficult to understand the importance of corridos.

i guess, but my parents and all my family are born in mexico, but narco corridos were never listened to by any of them. i feel i grew up with a very mexican upbringing, going to tijuana on a regular basis, etc., but i didnt learn about narco corridos until i heard other kids listen to it. i thought it was dumb but i dont consider myself any less mexican than them ( i spoke better spanish than them and probably knew about mexican society better than them because my mom and dad would always lace me on mexican culture and politics. they taught me on the corruption but it was funny cause they would always end up arguing bc my dads a priista and my mom a panista). my dad would also tell me alota stories about cartels, which is why i could never understand how ppl could make music making heroes of these guys. though the stories did sound kinda cool in a movie type way, those guys were, or are, nothing to be proud of

And you CANNOT compare any type of mainstream music to corridos, Gangsta Rap was the closest to it. Maybe Johnny Cash and Willy Nelson...

im not saying i disagree, but im curious why you say its so distinct

Maybe that was a bad example, because reporters are not artists. Corridos are an art like any other form of art, and IMO, an artist should never be censored...

its still giving exposure to something in a way that it shouldnt be given exposure. but yes, i agree artists should never be censored
