Planet Hemp's lead singer, Marcelo D2, expressed criticism of the ostentatious theme present in trap lyrics, during a press conference at Rock in Rio 2024. The singer, who took to the stage with Planet Hemp last Sunday ( 15/9) and will return to the festival on Saturday (21/9) with a rap project, stated that the excessive appreciation of luxury and success in music of the genre can be a "trap" for young artists.
< Marcelo D2 was emphatic in his opinion about the recurring theme in trap: "I think it's all shit. This movement nowadays among younger kids, I think there's something that bothers me a little in this new generation, which is ostentation , I think it's a f*cked up trap." The musician warned that the reality of most favelas is still far from what is portrayed in the lyrics, emphasizing that "the favela has not won, it is still starving, without basic sanitation, without health."The first day of Rock in Rio this year was dominated by trap, with performances by Brazilian artists such as Orochi, Oruam and Chefin, as well as American rapper Travis Scott. Trap has been gaining more and more space on streaming platforms, often highlighting themes related to luxury and success. However, for Marcelo D2, as long as favelas continue to face challenges such as lack of infrastructure and essential services, the victory speech will be superficial.
D2 also mentioned rapper Emicida as an example of a more collective and less individualistic vision. "The street is us, it's not me", stated D2, reinforcing the idea that the community's true victory will come when all its members benefit, and not just a few. The musician highlighted that individual success does not represent a structural change in the living conditions of the majority.
The singer will be one of the main attractions of the event, which promises to be the biggest in the festival's history

Even with Will Smith's surprise announcement on the Sunset Stage, the big highlight this Thursday (19) at Rock in Rio 2024 is the British Ed Sheeran, 33 years old. The singer closes the night on Palco Mundo, with the show scheduled to start at 00:15. The festival, which celebrates its 40th anniversary, starts again this Thursday and continues until Sunday, promising a program full of attractions of different styles.
Owning a simple image and devoid of the traditional stereotypes of a pop star, the British singer won the audience with his ability to create catchy melodies and perform alone on stage, with just his guitar and loop pedals. His unique style moves between the intimacy of acoustic performances and the impact of large arena shows.
Winner of an Oscar and with four Grammys under his belt, Will Smith also draws attention at Rock in Rio, with an almost lightning-fast appearance on the Sunset Stage. He's back to music with two tracks that will be part of his next album: "Work of Art", recorded in partnership with his son, Jaden, and "You Can Make It". Smith, who gained fame in the 90s with the series "Um Maluco no Pedaço", has been away from music since the release of his last album in 2005.

Passionate about football and a fanatical Flamengo fan, rapper Marcelo D2 expressed his admiration for former striker Reinaldo, Atlético Mineiro idol. In an interview with Charla Podcast, the artist highlighted Reinaldo's greatness, stating that neither Ronaldo "Fenômeno" nor Adriano reached the same level as the greatest scorer in Galo's history.
"For me, not even Ronaldo Fenômeno and Adriano, who are brilliant, came close to Reinaldo", said D2. "Reinaldo was at Romário's level. Or above", he added.
Marcelo D2 also recalled the 1980 Brazilian Championship final, between Flamengo and Atlético, held at Maracanã. Despite playing in sacrifice due to a thigh injury, Reinaldo scored both goals for Galo in the 3-2 defeat. At the age of 13, the rapper was present at the stadium and was impressed by the courage and skill of the Atletico number 9. .
“In the second goal, he was injured. The guy crossed, he fumbled, caught it first time and put it in there. I thought: ‘it’s not possible.”, said Marcelo about the move.
