Hateeee

Being labelled world/funk/hip hop, this album should be much more interesting than it actually is. It's got no bite. It's not memorable. If anything, it's pretty cheesy. I always dug J5 (to a degree) and Cut Chemist (a whole lot!) but them together in this outfit does absolutely nothing to me. This is boring global coffee shop-assed music for people without passports.

wtf was this album? LMAO, seriously. firstly, it only let me play TWO songs, which were a completely shit. it felt like a joke jesus christ. at least i had fun but bc of how shit it was. the only “plus” is that one was in spanish so i could understand it better, however that was bad at the same time bc what the hell with the lyrics HAHAHA. anyway, i did not like neither of the two songs but i laughed!

Not my thing.

Full album not on Spotify

Really unremarkable. 1/5

I finally got to listen to the complete album. Really not very good at all.

It sounds too much like it's trying to be something else and not quite succeeding. High Point: Who's to Blame? Low Point: Believe (was this a Linkin Park cover?)

One so g

Can’t listen as only one track from the album is available.

this was a snooze fest to me

not for me at all

Thankfully only two songs available on Spotify and I won't bother looking up the rest because they were truly horrible.

I only had to listen to 2 songs to know its not for me

je ne chierais même pas dans yeule de ce disque, ça serait trop vulgaire pour ma marde

Dégueulasse. Ça m'a donné la diarrhée.

Just awful. Jumps from genre to genre and, incredibly, never really sticks the landing. Every song feels like a fucked up caricature of Latin music and is offensive is in multiple, indescribable ways. Awesome.

Checked to see where i was at in the album and was devastated to learn i am only halfway through. did nottttttt like this.

I do not like this. It's really a victim of its own ambition. It tries to do so much and doesn't excel at really any of it. Some of the instrumentation is super good, but a lot of the time it goes nowhere and the song becomes really boring and repetitive. No standouts. I do not like any of the rapping.

I played the Madden this was featured on, it was shite too.

"Not available for streaming at your location". From the little bits that I did find, ie. cumbia and latin flavoured dance hiphop, it feels like street style Ricky Martin music. This is not for me

Demo tape for an ok band.

It wasn't very good. The best description of this album is that is sounds like an Indian parody of Latin music.

1.4/5 did not enjoy

Not on Apple Music

Gear: Meze 109 PRO Artwork: 🚧🛑🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Production: 😐🤔🤷 Music: 🌍🎤🤢 Rating: 🚧(🚧)/5

Lame ass attempts to fuse Latin music with whatever flavor of pop/hip-hop was trending at the time. While there are some fun grooves, this is one you most certainly do NOT need to listen to you before you die.

Strange music.

Unavailable anywhere.

I don't know what the hell was going on here but my ears didn't like it

I thought I was going to like this. I really did not. Very generic and uninspired.

¡Ay, caramba!

The album is not complete in Spotify

Not for me

The album isn't on Spotify but I'm listening to all the tracks I can find. Update - One song in and I'm very confused Update 2 - They sampled Barack Obama? Blending Latin music with hip hop just isn't it rly. Interesting record. Wouldn't relisten

Not for me

Sounds like music from some bad B movie.

Could not find a way of listening to this full album on any service. So only heard the first song. I don't feel I was missing out.

This was all over the place. Some of these songs don't even sound like their from the same band. I didn't connect to it at all.

Sorry, I just plain don't like this. Sounds prepackaged. Pop. Yeh 1 star

Not for me.

One song popped up here. It was enough to know it was shite.

Not available to stream. Remove please

honestly wish i left this at did not listen. could i write poetry to this? n

No me gusta

Unavailable

Hmm no

What?!?!?!

certain albums come up and you think “great this is going to wreck my spotify algorithm” music for people who have no other term than “world music” for music composed beyond their shores

what the hell how does this work

Didn't really take much from this album. Very generic and not worth a second listen.

Only 2 tracks available

I mess around with all the elements they are trying to use here, but despite the diversity they still sound like trash.

It sounds like Ricky Martin, Juanes and Maná recorded an album together.

Not on Spotify.

Note: Spotify has pulled all but two songs from this album ('Believe' and 'Love and Hope'), so this review is based on the two songs I had access to. The two songs I listened to are a jumble of genres including (wince) "rap rock". Not my thing. Overall: 2/10

No thanks

Lyrics are shallow and dumb. Music is derivative and uninteresting. Total waste of time.

Three songs in and these are all too repetitive and not to my taste. I'll keep listening but this just doesn't do anything for me.

Most of the songs are unavailable on Spotify (at least in my region). I don't mind it, but I wouldn't go through the trouble of accessing it elsewhere.

Spotify only has one song available too me so I can't really give much of a review so uhh soz 😂

This is a very disappointing album. It is nowhere to be found on music streaming services. After a lot of effort to get it anyway, the album is mediocre with uninteresting rock songs with a bit of latin flavor. It sounds commercial, but it's too bad to have a change to impress any audience.

Ass. I don't like the fusion here

Couldn’t listen as wasn’t on Spotify

What the hell is this??

This album seems to be straight out a cheap dance movie from 2004 where there are two enemy dance troupes who end up doing a big dance together at the end of the film.

I really didn't get anything out of this. Thought it was overall pretty boring.

This really wasn't to my liking at all. The single biggest issue for me was that it didn't feel cohesive at all. It was a mixture of latino rap, some rap that didn't feel latino, 'Who Discovered America' which felt like a worse kind of radio smash hit version of Santana's 'Smooth'. Then there was 'Dejame en Paz', which was something completely different? I think if some of the tracks were hand picked and put in another constellation, it might not have been as bad, but this just didn't fly at all. But to be fair, the tracks didn't really leave any impression on me regardless so maybe not.

not a fan. feels too naive 1 -S agree -A

I think they used every corny latin music trope in existence, as well as some underwhelming rap. A couple songs were kind of catchy, but it was mostly annoying

This must be the 1001 numbered album on the list. Overall very disappointing and bland.

Mish mash... Hear tabla and record scratches with Spanish music.. rap also sometimes.. it's too much

I'm sure I'd love this a lot more if I didn't actively hate it.

A rare occasion where I couldn't track down the album anywhere. Listened to some of their KEXP set from 10ish years ago and wasn't impressed. I guess one star cause I couldn't find it?

*Loud snorting noise* Wee wee wee *Loud snorting noise* Wee wee wee *Loud snorting noise* Wee wee wee *Loud snorting noise* Wee wee wee Get it? Because it makes me go to bed. Grab your blankets and your teddy bears for this one, folks.

Onko kyseessä uskomaton albumi.. ei löydy spotify apple music.. hidden gem incredible.. Eka biisi uskomaton.. sen jälkeen kuullosti vähän siltä kun et pyyhi kunnolla ja kikkareita jää perskarvoihin. Sitten myöhemmin, sinun on pakko repiä ne rämmäleet irti ja silmät kostuu.

Majority of the album is not available on spotify or on youtube and i did not feel like trying to find more after 3 songs. The music seemed bland

Not my cup of tea. This is what i say when i think something is shit. The English inner city indian rapper during the first song is enough for me to stop listening. If you want to hear something similar to this only better and done by a better musician then give Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan a listen to.

Totally not my thing

Es juanes con instrumentación hindú. Rarísimo y no me gustó. 2/10

Not for me. I did try

Isssh, dans mes écoutes les plus difficiles. Cet exercice doit être fait avec une grande ouverture d'esprit. Alors bravo pour l'inclusion de ce groupe différent. Bravo pour le désir de moderniser des courants latins. Bravo pour la diversité de couleurs sonores. Par contre, malgré ces points qui auraient dû rendre le tout rafraîchissant, les mélodies sont inintéressantes et la fusion des genres ne fonctionne pas. Il y a seulement Saturday Night, la pièce la plus écoutée de cet album, qui réussit à être écoutable. Dommage.

This is absolute trash. Should not be on the list. Again, the absence of Rammstein is glaring at moments like this.

Only four tracks available in Brazil between Spotify and Youtube. On the basis of four tracks - an uninspired latin hip-hop. I am fine with latin music, but hip-hop is intolerable for me. So 1 star on a limited sample size

Hopefully I'll never hear this again

Must be nice to see live

Link to album has only one song

Cover art 2/5

ovo što sam čuo, ne sviđa mi se.

Not my thing.

Absolutely fucking not.

é uma bagunça e impossível de achar

Not my style. I prefer English. The Saturday night song wasn't too bad
