*Update 17/12/2019: Tyga releases video clip of the Macarena Remix with Los del Río:

Tyga is a rapper who rose to fame after getting engaged in 2014 with a certain Kylie Jenner, number one on Instagram in the world. Despite the incessant pace of publishing new songs from him, nothing more was heard from him until much later. Last year Tyga released the hit of 2018 (with permission from Drake, Travis Scott and his sicko mode) on decaffeinated disco rap: Taste. It seems that the success of the song (the video is close to one billion clicks) was not enough and, in an unpredictable move, Tyga has chosen to satisfy his hunger for virality by releasing the rap remix of one of the best-known songs of the world: The Macarena (as Gente de Zona already did in 2016). Unlike the Macarena of Los del Río, in this one (in which J Balvin collaborates) the groom is not called Victorino. But he has a penis the size of Harry Potter's broom.

"Bitches are on my stake, but my name is not Harry Potter"

As the reader of Postposmo may already have intuited, in this new Macarena we find ourselves before another example of the undeniable lyrical and literary depth of which the best contemporary rap is capable. Who would want to hear about storytelling intimate of J. Cole or the denunciation of structural and institutional racism in the United States (Jay Z) having Tyga and his "I'm the nigga he told you not to worry about, why do you think he's in such a hurry when he leaves the house"?

Given the depth of the complex canvases Tyga draws with his lyrical in this Ayy Macarena, the Californian rapper has had to come to the aid of J Balvin's collaboration. The Colombian, who is mentioned in Genius in the authorship credits of the new song, he also recently gave viral honey a good smack thanks to another message theme as mystical, intricate and unexplored as that of Ayy Macarena: With height, together with the Catalan Rosalía.

Without going further, this week Rosalía has also released a new song: on pallet. As was to be expected from a world cultural leader of Rosalía's caliber, in on pallet the matter of encrypting the message is already getting out of hand. Such is its cryptic nature that, three days after the release of the single, nobody knows for sure what A pale means or what is A pallet. However, among the fine reflections that he offers us in his fifth post song The bad love, Rosalía has given us one that fits perfectly with rap ay macarena of Tyga that occupies us today: «everything I invent they catch me».

Oh Macarena.

Oh.
