Show transcript
00:00
Its Vienne is Cuerpo Losa.
00:02
So we invited the one and only Legado siete up in the
00:05
house. Yeah, I mean you guys have a unique sound
00:11
right? You Norteno music.
00:13
But I saw you guys are Corridos Verdes in that genre.
00:18
So we use the,
00:19
the, the, the instrumentos de un Norteno but was Estillo
00:23
No Iso Norteno is like underground type of shit like like
00:27
hip hop with Norteno like the lyrics is different,
00:30
you know, like we talk,
00:31
we talk about we like,
00:33
oh that's the birthday,
00:35
that's what the Verde means,
00:36
you know the, the real Verde.
00:38
All right. So I mean like did,
00:39
did you guys start that or it it already exist?
00:42
How does that? I believe it already exists.
00:45
Like people would always talk about winning the corridos but I believe
00:49
like a who made it like we were the first ones to
00:52
in singing Mexican stuff.
00:54
Like we were the first ones for people to stop drinking and
00:57
start lighting up blos at the,
01:00
at the concerts in she like,
01:01
you know, I feel like right now it was pretty,
01:03
pretty normal to go to a club and the spa people join
01:05
like it wasn't like that before we started,
01:08
you know. No.
01:08
Yeah, for sure.
01:09
So you mentioned that in the club Like you see people
01:12
sparking up more instead of drinking.
01:13
So like that, you know that there's a culture shift.
01:16
Do you think your music kind of influence that kind of like
01:18
acceptance of it? Yeah.
01:20
Like he's saying, you,
01:21
you go to a club and majority of the people are drinking
01:24
but you, you have a band that starts singing like stone
01:27
or corridos, you know.
01:28
So people would just be like,
01:29
I just wanna have a smoke out at the,
01:31
at the club and that's what they started doing.
01:32
But apart from that,
01:33
I think it's like we were the band that would smoke too
01:36
So it's like,
01:36
maybe people would sing about weed but they weren't stoners as them
01:40
like, as like themselves.
01:42
I mean, I don't know,
01:44
I mean, not a poser but I don't know.
01:46
Maybe you're like, you're like walking the walk and talking to
01:49
talk. Yeah. Yeah.
01:49
Yeah. And this,
01:50
this is like the real thing,
01:51
you know, like we smoke and we'll,
01:53
we'll talk about the weed,
01:55
the Corrido. So,
01:56
and I guess what's there one song that you feel like that
01:58
like, gives up that vibe,
02:00
like the best that I listen to,
02:01
I think Afro was like the,
02:03
the song that put Leg Aiea there and it's,
02:07
it's a stone or Corrido.
02:08
So I think people should hear that one if they haven't heard
02:11
it. Well, there you go.
02:13
And,, how do you see the future of,
02:14
like, marijuana and smoking in Mexico?
02:16
I feel like it's,
02:17
it's illegal. Right.
02:18
In Mexico. Do you think it's legal?
02:20
I, I think so or no,
02:22
I, I know.
02:22
I don't know. I don't know right now because this is
02:24
what I'm telling you.
02:25
I, I just went to this,
02:26
this event,
02:27
it's called the Ros and mania,
02:30
you know, and I don't know if you guys seen
02:32
a video like it's pretty viral,
02:33
like on, on,
02:33
on social media. The Unos wrestlers,
02:37
Estan Estan Elano's wrestlers Lal Lire is Esto dab I sema guy
02:42
you guys haven't seen it.
02:43
It's super viral in Joos A for Mexico,
02:46
I Primera to the Rosso mania fu deci feral.
02:49
So Anos Angeles, like,
02:56
I would just like,
02:57
I was just surprised,
02:59
like, do you guys feel like though,
03:00
like then, I mean,
03:01
I guess it, I don't know who knows if it is
03:03
but like, I feel like regardless of the Latino and Mexican
03:06
culture has that like stigma against it.
03:08
Do you feel like that kind of like again,
03:11
this movement, this new generation of artists is kind of helping
03:16
they move forward because like you said,
03:17
it's drinking, it's like you can drink.
03:19
But also it's like,
03:20
that's a V too that everyone think is like,
03:22
it's accepted. But because honestly,
03:24
like in Mexico is the term.
03:26
It's not really what,
03:27
what we smoking, the term marijuana,
03:29
it's bad, you know,
03:30
like marijuana can be like if you,
03:32
if we chilling outside my house in Mexico and then you just
03:34
somebody fucking speeding, you know,
03:36
like going fast as fuck on the street.
03:38
The first thing mom was gonna say like,
03:39
oh marijuana, you know.
03:42
Yeah. No, it's so it,
03:43
it, it's more the term actually the action,
03:46
you know, the term marijuana is just bad in Mexico for
03:49
some reason. Like you don't know,
03:51
I crack it and they call him marijuana,
03:53
you know. No.
03:54
Yeah, I guess it has a negative connotation again,
03:55
that name attached to it and it's stuck.
03:59
Yeah, that's true.
04:00
And I mean,
04:02
have you ever faced criticism from your family members or even like
04:05
again bigger artists and stuff for like kind of putting us
04:08
out there like, oh yeah,
04:09
they're a bad example or anything like that.
04:11
I mean, I don't,
04:12
I don't think that fan base or I think we weren't accepted
04:16
which is, which is different,
04:18
you know, I feel like we weren't accepted on media on
04:20
radio because of the content.
04:22
It was very expensive.
04:23
So it's like people are scared of that,
04:25
you know, but it's,
04:25
it's so different that in the hip hop world they sing about
04:28
all type of stuff and it's like,
04:30
and would you guys ever saw like a,
04:33
a small company, a weed company or you just have one
04:36
merch. No, we,
04:37
we, we, I think we've collabed with different people on
04:40
on different stuff in the past,
04:41
you know, but I think,
04:42
for sure 11 thing we always wanted to do is like
04:45
bring our own line of strengths and stuff.
04:47
So, yeah, I'll be coming.
04:50
