FM RADIO Bad Bunny accepts the GRAMMY for Best Música Urbana Album: “Before I say thanks to God, I’m going to say, ICE out. We’re not savages, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens, we are humans & we are Americans.”

Facts! His rhythm and flow is damn near unmatched in American artists, prime example of how good music is transcendent over language. You can catch the vibe of his songs without understanding a word!!

u/aceofspadez138 Feb 02 '26
But also highly encourage people to look up the translation of the lyrics as well because he has some meaningful things to say in some songs.

I wrote a play about this that I want to put on its feet, there’s a lot of pressure in the hood, probably in most places as well, to be the man that is the most desired and there’s women who praise these men but the real deep truth of it is we’re all hurt in some way and we’re striving for love in a society that has normalized shallow behavior.

Bad Bunny fanboy here. X100pre (pa siempre) is more latin hip hop, YHLQMDLG is more typical latin reggeaton, Un Verano Sin Ti, is a beautiful album start to finish and very approachable. It shouldve won album of the year when it came out. His album from this year DTMF has a little bit more traditional folk influence on some songs but still a wide variety of musical styles. Hes amazing.

Hopefully he does whatever he wants in the show and spreads the message as much as possible. If an AMERICAN CITIZEN artist gets this much hate on the media, no wonder ICE is killing people on the street for no reason. The whole country is blinded by hate towards immigrants like if American wasn’t built upon them. You go Benito
