I wish more people understood Italian just to grasp the brilliance of this man’s lyrics. He’s on an other level

The T-shirt is a pun: they are Karl MARX (Father of Communism) and Bud SPENCER (Italian actor)... "MARKS AND SPENCER" is a famous British multinational retailer

Also, for context: this song is a direct answer to those who call him "a communist" (since he's openly leftist, which in Italy like most countries doesn't necessarily mean to be a communist lol) and he puns with the fact that "communists are in your minds only (meaning his haters see something that it's not there) just like they are in mine" (because he's crazy in the video, which takes place in his head where there are communists, just like those people accuse him to be). There are also a lot of cultural references but one of my favourites has to be "they say it's not ok to put the foosball's ballilas upside down". Ballila(s) are both those players figures in table football and how kids were called during the fascists era. Mussolini (the fascist dictator) was also hanged upside down, so being upside down is connected to fascism in the italian imaginary.

I'm adding my comment as a plus: in the song he also refers to "CasaPound", which is a neo fascist and populist group in Italy famous for its anarchy and violence. In the video they are the guys with the black jackets and shirts.

@Hika Ross not to contradict you, but he IS openly communist. And I don't mean it as a way to bash him, I'm communist too lol He even used to go to meetings of Alternativa Comunista (Communist Alternative), a small italian communist party. It's also easily understandable from the lyrics of his most political songs.

"cercavo spazio e mi mandavano a Gagarin" > "i was looking for space and they sent me to Gagarin". But "mandare a Gagarin" sounds like "mandare a cagare", that stands for "they sent me to fuck me off". Every Caparezza's rhyme is brilliant and precious, like a treasure with multiple meanings!

I laugh outloud every damn time i listen to that line 😂👌i can't help myself! Its genious!

think some of the points made here have deep Italian cultural references to our politics that could be difficult to understand for foreigners. For example, he mentions CasaPound which is a fascist party (unofficially because the government prohibits any political party to be fascist). So when he says that "I have a Che Guevara t-shirt and go to CasaPound" he literally means that he is going to be beaten soundly because CasaPound (whose name derives from Ezra Pound, American poet and strong supporter of fascism and Mussolini) notoriously hates communists. Another reference to Italian politics is the northern league (which should be called Lega Nord and its members leghisti), a right-wing party that in the past was for the independence of the Padania region in the north of Italy. There is a huge irony in the part where he mentions Lega Nord because he says that he will support an independent Padania (which was Lega Nord's objective) so that he can call the Leghisti "extracomunitari". Extracomunitari by definition are all the people outside of the European Community (EU) but Lega Nord often used it as a derogatory way to call the immigrants and the "outsiders". So Caparezza is saying that if the Leghisti are outside of the EU, then Leghisti are extracomunitari too. This is an example but also in the next verses it is clear that Caparezza is being sarcastic and that he is making fun of the stupidity of the people who try to categorise him based on ideologies ..... buona notte

Story of life of van G.

"They break me like a Carasau bread", Carasau bread is a type of bread that you can find only in Sardinia, and it is thin like paper and really crunchy, so delicious

Pussy Riot is a Russian feminist protest punk rock and performance art group based in Moscow.

Caparezza wrote many songs that are both very enjoyable/catchy and with a quite deep meaning. However all of those are quite difficult to translate because they are full of puns linked with Italian common saying. Among those, the ones I recall the most are: "Dalla parte del toro" ("Siding with the bull", charaterised by tunes typical of the corrida). "Vengo dalla luna" ("I'm from the Moon", on xenophobia). "Eroe" ("Hero", on "everyday heroes" that manages to keep their families safe and rise their children, charaterised by tunes typical of spaghetti western movies). "Abiura di me" ("Abjuration of myself" On the necessity to "go to the next level", charaterised by tunes typical of the videogames). "Argenti vive" ("Argenti lives" on the prevalence of bullies. Filippo Argenti was told to be young Dante Alighieri's bully in real life, and is in Dante's Inferno among the violents):

" ...è come quando sei malato di schizofrenia e il prete ti convince che il diavolo ti possiede!" Poesia pura

You should react also to Caparezza's "Io vengo dalla Luna", where he uses sci fi as a metaphor of racism and "Il secondo secondo me", where he plays with stereotypes and the irony of the difficulty of writing a second album.

Just to give some context on the very good videoclip: "Argenti vive" ("Argenti lives") talks about the prevalence of bullies. Filippo Argenti was told to be young Dante Alighieri's bully in real life, and is in Dante's Inferno among the violents.

he is just awesome. Not being Italian, you cannot get all the references he makes and the word jokes he creates. Those in particular are awesome since he uses often the same words giving them different meaning due to the context in which he places them. Yeah, it is funking hard and you have to be completely insane to do so, and I love him because of it

i listen to caparezza since i was 8, now im 25. i completely agree about you have to watch and listen at least 10 times every song to catch all the quotes, the notes and everything he puts in. most of the times, in his albums, he inserts also some eastereggs, and his fans have fun in listen the new album over and over to be the firsts to find the secrets

The big haired guy with the piano in the middle of the video is called Giovanni Allevi, he's a pianist and composer. I don't know if you like piano music, but he wrote some nice pieces.

Dude you gotta react to Caparezza's "Argenti Vive", you'll love it! It's about a character from the Divine Comedy, called Argenti, dissing Dante Alighieri, bragging about the fact society awards violent people like him more than poets (ironic, as we now remember Argenti only because he was mentioned by Dante).

Please, react to: "Abiura di me" from caparezza, it's one of the best songs ever created

Caparezza e un genio, il riferimento degli uomini del calcio balilla a testa in giù e un capolavoro linguistico per riportare con la mente di fascisti appesi a testa in giù giustiziati in piazza dopo la guerra

The two guys are Karl Marx and Bud Spencer, the singer of the final section is Diego Perrone second voice for Caparezza and former singer of Medusa a punk rock band from Torino Italy

you have to react to CAPAREZZA - ARGENTI VIVE 🤟

Bud Spencer is a Neapolitan actor, he always declared it in his interviews, "I'm not Italian, I'm Neapolitan". Caparezza cites Padania, that is a group of mainly racist politicians, mostly hate blacks, southerners, gypsies, etc. Bud Spencer is the answer to the racism that involves Northern Italy which denigrates and offends Southern Italy, the city of origin of Caparezza himself, "Caparezza is from Puglia (Molfetta)".

I suggest you another Caparezza's Song that Is called "fuori dal tunnel" the original music video already has english subtitles 💪

Respect from italy✌🏻

Listen to his song “Argenti Vive”. It slaps hard

Caparezza is an absolute genius, I'm glad you are enjoying his songs because he is one of my favorite singers However, I advise you to see the lyrics, perhaps translated, of the song you have listened to because you will realize in this way that not only the music, the beats or the rhythms he makes are exceptional, but also his way of expressing himself. anyway I suggest you listen to a song of her called "Abiura di me".

Man... what you dive into 😂 Have a good trip man, Caparezza is hard stuff. It's an endless reading now, if you reach the end you have good chance to become technically italian tho, Caparezza is the voice of Italian society ❤️

"blue car" is a reference to "government cars"

It's a song joking about people who accuse him of being a communist. CasaPound is the Italian fascist party, they're horrible, and people from the far right who support them always accuse everyone who doesn't agree with them of being a communist. So Caparezza got fed up with their bullshit and wrote this song to make fun of these people and mock fascists in general. There's also a lot of references to government censorship in Russia, which tries to suppress any ideas that go against the Propaganda, just like fascists would like to do, showing that the far left and far right aren't so different after all in terms of tolerating ideas and opinions that don't agree with them. Brilliant song.

I think you have to listen to "prisoner 709", "Larsen" and "Non siete stato voi". These are amazing songs.

Groving up in Italy as a teenager - young adult in the 2000-2010s meant having a first hand impression of a country on the moral and economical decline. Caparezza openly denounces the corruption and the inadequacy and hypocrisy of the ruling class in his songs. In "legalize the premier" he talks about Silvio Berlusconi how he's subverting the legal system to avoid been sentenced for his crimes. His live performances are amazing too. Unfortunately he suffers from tinnitus and hearing loss so he can't tour too much these days. I rember seeing a concert at the "fuori orario" venue in Reggio Emilia on the 20th of may 2011. Here is a video of that song on that day! kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y2h7qtBmZLSTdbQ.html
