    Out of curiosity, why wouldn't you play it? Too controversial?

    There aren't very many Cubanos out here so I'm not too worried about offending/pissing off people. Not that I'd even have the chance seeing how this probably won't make it to vinyl.

    There's gotta be an OG to this song, though. I read that dude recorded it immediately after Castro handed power over to his brother. Supposedly radio was playing it the next morning. Was the beat already made or is it just him rhyming over an instrumental/riddim? Inquiring minds want to know!

    P.S. I got love for Pitbull. He may not be the greatest lyricist, but he makes fun songs, most of which happen to be "organic club bangers." Plus he comes across as being a real humble dude (which carries a lot of weight with me these days).

    i would probably play it regardless, i was just concurring with cosmo's statement that any pro-castro song is something loaded enough to make you go HMMM

    But this is ANTI-Castro. Or do you mean "pro" in the sense that - regardless of the celebratory nature of the song - another Castro is now (temporarily) in charge? Do Cubans in the US really feel that way? I would think they'd like the song, even though the situation is far from perfect.

    Pitbull makes great party records and the beat is hot as fuck, but I can not fuck with the song because of the lyrics. Even if I sympathized with Cuban exiles in America-- which I don't-- it's just too fucking mean-spirited ("I'm hoping he's dead.").

    While I don't approve of this Pitbull's death to Castro stance, I do approve of his organic club banger stance. Say
