Filipino hip-hop is hip-hop music performed
by musicians of Filipino descent, both in the Philippines, and
overseas, especially by Filipino-Americans. This article focuses
first on Filipino hip-hop in the Philippines, and secondly on
that in the USA. The Philippines is known to have had the first
hip-hop music scene in Asia since the early 1980s, largely due
to the country's historical connections with the United States
where hip-hop was originated. Rap music released in the
Philippines has appeared in different languages or dialects such
as Tagalog, Chavacano, Cebuano, Ilocano and English. In the
Philippines, Francis M
and Andrew E are cited as the
most influential rappers in the country, being the first to
release mainstream rap albums. In the USA, Apl.de.ap of The
Black Eyed Peas, Cassie Ventura and Chad Hugo of The Neptunes
and N.E.R.D are cited as the most successful Filipino-Americans
in the music industry.
he beginnings of hip-hop culture in the Philippines can be
attributed to several main factors; the innate of them being the
heavy influx of American musical styles in that country as
reflected in the widespread popularity during the 1960s of
Motown artists The Temptations, The Supremes and The Jackson
Five and later in the 1970s of Funk, Soul and Disco music. Bands
such as The Commodores, The Gap Band, James Brown, Con Funk
Shun, The Bar-Kays and Earth, Wind and Fire among many others
received heavy rotation on Manila airwaves. The future
importation of hip hop culture and music, similar to the
previous genres mentioned can be credited to the direct contact
Filipinos received with both Americans and Filipino Americans,
or as they are commonly called balikbayans, stemming from the
root words "balik" meaning to come back and "bayan" loosely
translating into hometown or homeland.
The intimate relationship between hip-hop culture and the large
Filipino American community along the United States West Coast
naturally resulted in the exportation of rap music back to the
Philippines. Numerous cassette tapes, videos, books and
magazines concerning hip hop issues and popular rap artists
would be sent out by Filipinos to family members back in the
islands.
The towns and barrios surrounding the numerous American military
bases that were scattered throughout that country such as Clark
Air Base in Angeles City and Subic Bay Naval Base in Olongapo
were among the earliest to be exposed to the culture; as contact
with African-American, Filipino American and Latino servicemen
resulted in some of the earliest exposure the locals had to the
new musical genre.
n the new millennium, Filipino hip-hop rivalled Pinoy rock's
traditional popularity amongst Filipino youth. Artists who are
currently active and have released both rap albums and music
videos in the Philippines since 2000 include: Andrew E,
Razzamanazz, D-Coy, Denmark,
Francis M, Gloc-9, Krook & J.O.L.O.,
DiCE and k9 aka Mobbstarr, Pikaso,
Salbakuta, and Thavawenyoz.
In 2000, the golden-era rap group Mastaplann released a third
album through BMG Records, under the new sub-label, Francis M's
Red Egg Records, entitled Mastaplann.com, an obvious reference
to their newly developed website. Additionally, the group scaled
down their line-up to just Butch and Johnny, and then added
Johnny Krush, another balikbayan from the San Francisco area.
This album has already obtained gold status in the Philippines,
and is also still selling. Currently, the group is based in the
States where they still perform and make music. Mastaplann is
currently working on their fourth album, yet to be titled, to be
released under True Asiatik Productionz.
Since 2004, the Philippine Hip-Hop Music Awards has been held
annually in Metro Manila. The show is reminiscent of The Source
Awards in the US. Gloc-9, considered to be the fastest rapper in
the Philippines and former member of the rap group Death Threat,
held the title for Best Rap Artist at the awards show for four
consecutive years, from 2005 to 2008, achieving mainstream
popularity and releasing successful commercial albums every
other year. Like the American hip-hop industry, music videos
have become an important trend (even containing small cameos
from different Filipino rappers) and air on TV channels like MTV
Philippines and MYX. Despite Metro Manila's powerful position
over the music industry, rap groups in the south have started to
gain their own share of popularity, like DiCE and k9 aka
Mobbstarr from Cebu City with their first hit single "Itsumo" in
2003, and Thavawenyoz from Davao City with their debut album "Hubag"
in 2005. It also is not uncommon for Filipino-American artists
to perform live, sell records, and win awards in the Philippines
while living in the States, for example Pikaso from San
Francisco, California who won the Producer of the Year award in
2008.
In 2002, Carlo Maniquiz and Nick Tuason, together with the
assistance of FUBU's headquarters in New York City, established
the FUBU Philippines clothing line, opening up several stores in
the Philippines. In promotion of the new franchise, Francis M
released a compilation album showcasing new local hip-hop talent
as well as two volumes of Tha Rappublic of the Philippines
series, which featured young unsigned Filipino rap artists that
were discovered through the nationwide talent search of the same
name (including groups Crazy as Pinoy, Kamandag ng Marikina, and
the Stick Figgas). Francis M would also go on to form his own
clothing line in 2006 called
Francis Magalona
Clothing Company (FMCC) which are sold at his own branches of
stores called Three Stars & a Sun. "The F-Word" was an album
Francis M was rumored to be working on in 2008 to follow his
last album from 2000, but leukemia and other health problems
interfered later that year.
