Quotes

“There is a shortage of walls used for memory, | pure vanad, it hurts like a tooth that cays | my weakness for the victims of history; | they hated them, humiliated them, left them to fate | to court them after death. (from La putta sassaiola dell'ingiuria, n. 9)”
“Sti quindicenni have malaria, | the lazy face, they already use Viagra, | in the festival of fools the fools are many, | thick flocks of dead goths statev' accuorti! | They preach death, they want death, death in spade, | if you like death explain ... what do you not kill yourself? (From Chi c*zzo me lo, n. 10)”
“Italians good people, Italians with a heart of gold, | the Italy is a republic founded on the work | of saints, poets, mafia and navigators | but everyone would like Montessori in their fingers. (from Il secondo me, n. 1)”
“When there was him the trains left on time, | when he was there they deported us on time, | when he was there we weren't there | that if we were there we would have been pale. (from The second opinion of me , n. 1)”
“Here, | comes the bad and persuasive oc, | a proud liar who knows how to say only what people want to hear, | I do not touch his sago, | I am a deaf sorce to the piper. the entry The Pied Piper of Hamelin”
“He wants to put me under 'sto signorotto | who boasts of the saint | attached to the dashboard, | did not understand that I am willing | to stay under | only when I fuck . (from I come from the Moon , n. 6)”

Michele Salvemini (born 9 October 1973), better known by his stage name Caparezza (sometimes written CapaRezza), is an Italian rapper.

==Biography== Caparezza was born in Molfetta, in the southern region of Apulia, on 9 October 1973. Caparezza's mother was a teacher and his father was a worker and former musician, so Michele started playing music as a child. He studied accounting, although he dreamed of writing comics. After completing High School, Michele began to work in advertising, and won a scholarship for the Academy of Media and Journalism in Milan. However, he soon decided to leave the advertising world to fully devote himself to music. In addition, he declared himself atheist and politically near to communist ideology.
