}} "Rap das Armas" ((英語:Rap of Weapons)) is a 1990s song originally written and performed by Brazilian duo Junior e Leonardo. Cidinho & Doca (a Brazilian duo made up of MC Cidinho and MC Doca and known in Portuguese as Cidinho e Doca), made it an international hit in 2008 and 2009. The duo are two prominent ''proibidão'' rappers in Brazil, ''proibidão'' referring to songs which are prohibited airplay by order of the Brazilian courts due to alleged crime apology. The song enjoyed a considerable amount of success in the mid-1990s. It resurfaced when it was used as the soundtrack of a popular Brazilian film, ''Elite Squad'' ((ポルトガル語:Tropa de Elite)), but was withdrawn two weeks after release. A remixed Dutch version of the song became popular in European nightclubs and reached #1 in the Netherlands and Sweden. == Early version == The song is considered as part of the funk carioca movement that started with the release of the album ''Funk Brasil'' in 1989 produced by DJ Marlboro, a compilation which is considered the milestone of the funk movement. The movement was solidified with a string of albums and songs including the first-ever version of "Rap das Armas" written by siblings MC Júnior e Leonardo in 1992 and performed by them in 1994.〔Stamboroski, Amauri. ("De James Brown ao 'Rap das armas', veja a linha do tempo do funk carioca" ) . G1, September 9, 2009〕 The song started as a praise to Rio's beauties, but eventually became a protest on urban violence.〔 Although the text called for peace and was against violence, it was still prohibited for mentioning names of a great number of weapons including Intratec (a semi-automatic pistol), .45 Colt, FMK, Uzi, 7.62 and 7.65 rifles, hand grenades, Magnum, Beretta, Madsen (referred in the weapon as "android hunter") and automatic weapons. Leonardo said he picked the names of the weapons in his day job as a newsstand attendant.〔 The refrain of the song was based on The Outfield's "Your Love," replacing the lyrics with the sound of a machine gun, imitated by the rendition "pa ra pa pa..."〔(Pop romântico inspira música-símbolo de "Tropa de Elite" ), Folha de S. Paulo〕 Since at the time, Cidinho e Doca, were a popular duo who had released the song "Rap da felicidade," Júnior e Leonardo asked that Cidinho e Doca join in the refrain of the song. Soon afterwards, Cidinho e Doca released their own version of the song without Júnior e Leonardo. Cidinho e Doca also changed the names of some of the firearms used, adding AR-15, .12, .28 pistols, Uru, Glock, AK-47, Winchester rifle, M16, .50 and .30 calibre weapons. MC Júnior and Leonardo criticized the new version, saying it went for the opposite message they were seeking, and the new version seemed to praise violence instead of criticizing it.〔(Versão pirata levou funkeiros a dar explicações à polícia civil ), ''Extra''〕 Cidinho and Doca were not sued because that version "was not commercialized," due to its lack of recorded version and radio airplay.〔Góis, Ancelmo.
