Tyga’s New Video Mocks Latinos With Cartoonish Stereotypes
Tony Diaz talks with Rodrigo Bravo Jr. on singer/artist Tyga's recent new music video (now taken down) "Ay Caramba" and its poor cartoonish stereotypes displayed.
The Grammy nominated Los Angeles-based rapper has delved into Latino themes before and to his credit given the videos due process. “Mamacita” in 2017 featured Carlos Santana and the OG himself Danny Trejo. “Ayy Macarena” in 2019 highlighted Los Del Rio, the group behind the 1990s billboard hit.
Yet, his now deleted video for "Aye Caramba" pushes negative cultural stereotypes. Tony and Rodrigo talk about why this is dangerous, why stereotypes must be challenged, and the complicity of media, specifically hip hop media, in not challenging the video's content.
