"No es sentirme vergas, también tengo muchas cosas que agradecerles"

The guest known as Bestia opens with a direct contradiction of a story he says Santa Fe Klan has been telling publicly. According to Bestia, the narrative that Santa Fe Klan and his crew recovered his stolen royalties on their own is false. "No fue tu barrio, carnal. Fuimos yo y otro compa. No más." He claims he was the one who helped Santa Fe Klan recover those royalties when a record label was taking them, and that Santa Fe Klan's father personally asked Bestia for help. The episode becomes a broader reckoning with what Bestia sees as a pattern of ingratitude and manufactured narratives in Mexican urban music.

The mechanics of loyalty and betrayal in the scene

Bestia has been in Mexican urban music for 20 years, since around 2005. He describes a scene that was once governed by unwritten codes: you couldn't diss someone in a song and then be friends the next day; if you had a problem, you went to their door and settled it directly. That world, he says, is gone. "La industria se vuelve una novela, la industria del rap. Algo ficticio." He argues that many successful artists in the scene today got help early in their careers — from him and others — and then rewrote the story once they achieved fame.
