That the rap world is sadly not used to brawls between rival gangs is not exactly news. However, it is the fact that these dynamics are becoming something to get used to even here in Italy, as well as in the United States. He points it out Fedez, in the episode of Muschio Selvaggio in which he interviews the president of the Campania region Vincenzo De Luca together with Davide Marra.
«It is a culture that we have imported», says Fedez, «but we not only imported the music and the style, but also the jokes». The reference is the premise for presenting, with a somewhat broad twist, to the governor of Campania the case of Shiva, stage name of Andrea Arrigoni, arrested on charges of attempted murder after a shooting in the Milan area. Shootout born precisely because of a rivalry between rappers imported from America, that between the Blood and the Crips, dressed in red and blue respectively. Something incomprehensible for De Luca, but difficult to understand even for someone like Fedez, who is also part of the scene.
«A strange thing happened», says Fedez. «That all, or at least a predominant part of the Italian rap scene had this spontaneous movement in demonstrating displeasure for the arrest of one of their friends, which may be true, but it seems to me Emis Killa said he is in the clutches of the state». «You imagine a kid who follows the whole rap scene and sees not only kids, but also people who are 30, 40, even 50 years old, who maybe have families and children, say Free Shiva as if he were Julian Assange», continues Fedez. “This can lead to a totally wrong perception of the world, in my opinion.”
The reference is to what Emis Killa said the day after Shiva’s arrest. The rapper had in fact explained that, despite being neutral in a feud that does not concern him, he was sorry to see a talented young man end up in the clutches of the state. A not very happy terminology, in fact, which sees the State as an enemy even when it arrests a boy on charges of having shot a peer, even for trivial reasons: «I see you enjoying the comments. This genre will never be yours. You will forever be tourists, as well as infamous», the rapper concluded on Instagram.
After the broadcast of Muschio Selvaggio, Emis Killa however felt obliged to respond to Fedez’s criticism: “What a good boy”, he wrote in a new story. «It’s a shame that you then come and act funny to my friends (and you know very well who I’m talking about), who are people who share the same values expressed by me, and who went to prison for saying that “it would make you really nice to have street friends'”. In my opinion it’s better if you stay with influencers. And maybe take my name out of your mouth when you want to wipe your face in public.”
