No Jumper, coolest podcast in the world, and today we're in here with absolute icon.
Faruco, how are you doing?
Hi.
Nice to meet you, man.
So I guess we're going to be trying something different night today.
Yeah, so we guys don't know Faruco is an OG in the Latino, Regettone, World, Hispanic.
So Adam doesn't know Spanish for shit.
Faru Spanish is a little more advanced than my Spanish, so we're going to have to be going back and forth,
but we want to try to say, but that's for a good.
We're going to give it a shot.
We might have to caption the fuck out of this,
but we're going to do it.
Okay, so let's just start in the beginning.
Tell us a little bit about your early life.
Well, in my commence, I'm going to,
I'm from Puerto Rico.
I'm over around 13, 14, 15 years,
in the music, around.
I always have done reggeton.
It's the genre that's the genre that I distinguish.
And in this case, I've fused a little, my music, I've
done rap, I've done rap,
and now, we're just a lot of what is the war,
h, the d'em, also with the reggaeton,
which is in the case of the theme
more recent that I've done PEPAS.
So what were your early influences in terms of music,
the music you grew up around,
and what was the stuff that you really gravitated towards as a young kid?
It's that I've been a little,
I've heard of all of music,
thanks to my family and that,
but majorly the reggaeton is the culture
that in Puerto Rico
is in the veins of one,
me understand.
So,
it's a day,
and he's dinner,
and it's a lot of
culture,
and I grew up to hear
and I'm listening
to Darry Yankee,
Don Omar,
Wising, Yandel,
Estol, the Fad,
the Tego,
were like,
my idols in those
moments,
me,
when I decided
to make music.
And I've influenced
a much,
the people have
said that
reggaeton was a movement that
no it would be
to be able to
get a fever and
the moment he's
has been abodered the world
and has
developed my career
also.
Definitely.
So you never thought
about doing anything else.
If you weren't doing music,
what would you be doing
with your life?
Did you consider anything else
in terms of a career
or a way to make money?
It's that
in reality I always
I always did
for passion, because I
like.
Never for the money
or for the fame
or a position,
a status.
always that I do music, at the sun of today, I do
what I like.
It's my hobby, my passion,
me understand.
If it's a hit and it's a fine.
And if no, we're still doing music,
because I don't work on a number one,
in making more rich, and I don't work with that mentality.
So when did you start to get some recognition
and really feel like you had some potential?
Or were people telling you that they believed in you
from a very young age?
From the beginning, no.
It was a
quite
because
I was of
those artists
that I took
to make
to make
without discler
and to
play a
and then
at the
beginning
the tools,
nor even
to have
a studio
professional
where to
grab my
music.
I'm
in the
closet of
a
The microphone was so, it was to chattear,
like the message.
Like the chiquitos?
The little,
with a gancho of roba and a panty-ho.
And so we started to do music and
we'd up to the pages web.
In that time, the most pegged was Mindspace when I
started.
And in the playlists,
I put the songs,
canted in the proms of the schools,
and I'd call in the fiesta of the barrios.
Nobody knew anything, said,
"'Who's what, that's this?
That's what's this?
But I always went to, to give to
to get me to know that the people
that I had talent,
me, it's a little difficult to be
a artist.
That was a long fucking time ago, though.
The Myspace era.
Yeah.
Do you feel like that's how the reggaeton game works?
Is that it takes years and years and years of grinding
to build up your name,
or how does that normally work?
For the most in my case,
I me took time.
I took time to work and
and do my name and to respect
because we don't have the same
more of the more of the other
are the platforms digital,
the Spotify, the Apple, the same Instagram.
In that moment, there was to
to be a, to get to the
radio, to do the interview, to say to the DJ,
say to the only form of that your music
oversalier and you could ever be the people, me
understand.
Now, no.
Now you launch a theme and it's up the platforms
digital and it's all over viral and all the
world's all the same time and space,
there's all the world compaginand.
In that moment,
it was, like we say,
social,
to give us to know
and to me it was
it made very difficult
to create my career and my
my name and my respect in this industry.
Did you always feel like you needed
to go and spread your music
to different cultures
in different countries
in order to really make something out of yourself?
Or like, how would you have felt
if you had only been successful in your
your country like did you always have a bigger dream than that
me when I when I saw that
for example in what was my
barrio in the school
that I that my pay me
my country me was up playing me
me and I did this all in serious
when I was that was having
much result
in through the Puerto Rico
when I'm going to
stand by other countries
I'm going to try to talk the
the port of other
places to conquer those territories
because in a place where it's a place where it's very difficult to
because there are many regettoneros, me,
and it's...
...it...it...so, that's...
...that I'm...that I'm trying to puttowlop...
...that it's...
...and it's...
...and decide to go to my equipment,
...aqarmaletta,
to... ...a provaal suerte and get to the countries and say,
...Mere, here I'm here I'm my music,
...sue...
...and many times we're...
...to show of gratis...
...to give to show to get to come to know,
...ande...
...and get to be able to see.
moment that then then they'd then
to go to, for, to, for
to get to us, I'm getting.
That was a job, but I know that the
world was to grow.
I always had faith in that.
And if I'd like,
all like the Dominican Republic Republic
to Colombia, Chile,
that were the first
in opening our doors.
A lot of the most popular rappers,
it's like they kind of need to be associated with
or respected by the streets or like the gang.
culture or whatever. Is it similar? Like, did you feel like you had to win over the streets in order to
really become what you wanted to be?
For the most of the culture where I'm in, and the barrio where I'm and the country,
the music of reggaeton is well ligated with the street. So, the
the street does the music of reggeton. And it's a something, they're going well,
are well connected, me understand. It's very difficult. It's like the hip-hop that out of the
Yeah. And it's very difficult to deligal that. That's
something that's always going to be
because when you were coming up, did it feel like
Americans would just never appreciate this music?
Because I feel like you've gotten to experience watching
America become more and more open-minded to the
regitone and stuff. We've seen it become popular and then
become less popular. Now it feels like it's just popular and it could
probably never change.
Toc, to try, prove our
because at the
beginning,
for a
featuring or a
collaboration with
an artist
Anglo-American or
hip-hop,
it was very difficult
because
they were not
they were
not even
that the
gender Latino
was working,
that reggeton
was getting to
the masses,
then we
have been
today that
have decided
to collaborate
with us
and it's super
chever because
before we
saw it
was an
impossible
of what
happened.
Yeah, because
I remember
2004,
2005. I forget exactly what year
it was, but Norie started fucking with
the reggaone hard.
Noriega, who does the
Drink Champs podcast now and stuff. He had
bangers. He had really popular songs, but people
would talk about it like
you're really putting your whole career
at risk by making Megatone music
because it was like, you will never be respected as a
rapper if you do this, which seems
kind of crazy and closed-minded now, right?
He was of the first. Norie,
he was of the first who supported the
genre and he started to collaborate.
Yeah, and what he's saying is that,
that person was a risk,
if you're an American, a rapperer,
that's with someone who does reggaeton,
and not just,
he's a Spanish, and it's of Puerto Rico, Mexico,
the D.R.
It was like, if your career not serve,
it's not going to serve, and you know why?
And you, you, how do you think of that?
Like, no, I, you, I'm,
I'm, I'm feeling, because, imagine,
until the principle, it was an
impossible, and we'd be we
didn't, that we understand,
that we understand, that we understand,
and now, but,
after our music, that they want to be the same Americans that we're
going to be to bring a song to do a collaboration with you.
It's a remix.
It's a little bit too.
I was a very long.
When I did creepy Cush with Bad Bunny, the theme was a success and French Montana
did subversion, Travis Cote, he's a subversion, Nikki Minoche, me
the entire that all the world brinked for the theme and it was a
something a cabron.
And I think that also has also that we've been in the genre,
We've also been a way to sound a little American,
we understand, we've made a rap,
things like that.
Before the Americans, like,
they had to make that reggaeton,
because it was like,
it was like, of a single form, me, you know?
And now,
because, we've had more variety of the urban,
we've created a rap, we've done,
dance, or, you know,
is to be the manner to collaborate.
Yeah, was that song with Nikki Minaj
and Travis Scott and everybody on the remix?
Was that the big, big hit,
like the first song,
really exploded for you? Yeah, for me, for what, for me, for what
is the market American, so, is the theme that, that first
me exploded so if I remember the first song that I heard of you
Tierra Passen Wine with shampoo, but it was, it was a maiky, no,
but so, if they're, to, to talk the fiber to the Americans that
they're gonna, this farruco, was creepy cush with with, with
Alicia Keys.
Alish, we did, we did the rim and the, of, the, of, the, of,
calm, that was a hit, too.
How was that, like, the experience,
like she's not rapera, but she's a
but can't of love and the
and you, you're from, the, um,
see, the peon, you're,
you're, like, reggaeton, and the
guys and of these areas, and in these two areas.
How were the transition, and from there,
for the Ichikis?
This, what happened with,
with this theme was that
was a, it was a time more pop
with, with,
reggae, me,
but I met the essence
my, of, the, of,
the, of, the, the,
and, and,
He just that.
I mean, he, he, the vibe, he
got the theme, that was something more sweet,
me, and for me, well, one,
oh, Lichaki, you know that that's...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, that must be crazy for your country
to just see American artists
that they've never seen interact with this kind of music before
to be, you know, having some of the Nicky
Menager, Travis Scott, on music with you.
Do you think that inspires, like, all your people
to let them know that, like, this music is real,
and that, like, it's respected by people all over the world?
because you're doing things that they've never seen done before.
Yeah, I think that mark a,
mark a,
mark, as I say, and a
mooseo, me understand, of that, that's
a corral in a world. Because,
as, as, as, I'm not sure we're not
that people like I and other, many artists,
have done that this, that's a CD,
well, I imagine that's like a legado,
me understand, and there, and there are those
doors open for future artists
that are in the way,
No, no, it's not the same
luch that we've got us.
Do you feel like the new generation of rappers
or reggaeton artists from your country,
are they a lot more confident
and a lot more easily able to imagine
doing this with their lives
because they've already seen people like you come in
and actually do it?
Like, it's easier for them to see the vision?
Now, it's more easy for them to see the vision.
They're more,
have more
more
more
than I, when I, when I was
when I was commenced, and we're notherst
we're going to, that maybe they're going to, you know,
that's going to pass them to get in these times.
Because it's tripliced the world.
Yeah.
Me, you know,
yeah, we get to more
countries,
we're going to
more public,
the eyes
are in our
so, it's very
different
to peg to
a time in the
2015,
to pay it on
now in the
2021,
me,
understand,
it's more
the,
what will
happen,
is more
a lot of
now right
you're going to
know,
who's,
and you're,
you're going to
be a millionario
more rapid
and more
famous than
that's
that's
You think the artists more like they're from,
like they're from, or before you, you think they're
that they're, to, they're, like,
that you're like, that you know, or you think?
Yeah, I think, yeah, yeah.
Like, but it's like in a sense where they're hating
or it's kind of more like, no, no, no, no,
no, it's more like, it's more like,
it's more like, we're, okay,
okay, okay, it's, it's just,
it's, it, it's, and, and, and for you,
and for you, because you,
You have done hits
a 10 years
and you
have the
one of the
song number one
right in
in 2021.
You see the
difference
with the
hit there
and you
know,
many times.
For that I
think,
because I've
lived,
I've had
a hit
ago ago
back,
and I
have a hit
now,
me understand.
And I
see the
power that
has a
five years
back.
For sure.
What's
the biggest
difference
between
performing in
America
versus
performing
in Puerto Rico, is it completely different?
Like, what stands out is the biggest differences?
Yeah, it's very different.
Because, how much I'm
how do you explain?
In Puerto Rico,
you know, you know where you're coming,
and when you're seeing,
when having,
that's from there,
you know, you have to gain respect
and they're like to tell them
more in, in,
in, you know, first, there's
a lot hating,
you know, you, you know,
you know, you're to prove.
But it's like here,
also the artists, when you're from your
barrio, it's like, not
explicitly those that you're
with, like, people that you're with,
all the days, but the city where you're
the city, exactly.
It's, it's, like, not zealos, but like,
is an incest where, like, what you're going to
do, and that you, you've,
you've seen the way to start.
And, for example, when we
get to the US, well, there are fans
expecting, no, me understand, because they
they're being in what they're paying
in the island that's
that's on the island that
back,
and if you're going to
receive with the
with the
arms of open.
But to
sing in Puerto Rico,
even you're
to get in
you're going to
do the
way to be
being the way to
be put in
because if
no,
they're not
to give you
know, no
important,
how many years
if you've
you've got to
have to be
to do the time
to rena, and
I'm very competitive.
Definitely.
American rap style or is that totally out the table have you ever thought about that
well fiatty I've seen that is what I've said
to be what we're saying we're,
like, not even the American's like, because we're not
comfortable on the rhythm of regreton of us,
and I, in this case, I've been to give you to the opportunity
of when I collaborate with an artist American,
to give in his, in his same vibe, you know,
and I also I'm trying to as a artist, dominant other area.
For that is that when I, when I, when I collaborate with an artist American,
I don't like to go in the wave of the artist.
Yeah, what do you think needs to happen in order for America to embrace reggae its own more?
And is that something you even care about or are you just doing your thing?
Do you ever think about how other cultures, like are there cultures who don't really seem to appreciate it
that you care about making them like it more or is that not really something you think about?
I think about.
Like the culture is very
similar to the hip-hop
and the culture
urban.
Remember,
the music-ton
nace of the
Jamaican,
of reggae,
of the hip-hop
also,
me-tient.
So,
they're mixed
in those
two cultures and
make a
regetone.
I think
that's what
has done,
that's
that's not
to make,
because they
feel,
seem,
identified,
more it's a
genre that
comes from
the
call, expressa, what
is what maybe other genres of music
don't even to say, and
not just so it's a, it's a
general that's a much of
a musical, so the
sound Latino is unique.
In, in, in
comparison to the other,
and it's less prescient, but it
makes to dance, I'm
the answer. But what he
is, that, if you
don't know, the, the
country, here, in the
United, obviously,
you know, the loose, regentone, the
music urban, where you're
doing, if you're doing music,
if you're doing music,
with ACON, CJ, with all
that's what you can't
think, but you
think that in the States
United still
there's, there
is a space
to grow the
love for regent
and respect to
or not you
don't you
know in the
sense where
and that we
don't know, we're
doing what
we're doing
in a position
privileged.
So if you
say, we're
in a moment
now same
that I never
ever seen
the reggeton
so very
for the
American,
never in my
life,
at the moment
that we're
today, me
you know,
I'm a
I'm a
artist that
I'm a
discotheque,
clubs,
of 100 people,
to be a
stadium in the
United,
or an arena.
Oh,
shit.
And, and
not just
it was,
I don't
tell you,
not you know,
talking to
me only,
because
before we
took about
a discotheka
three and
four artists.
Now are
festivals,
I'm
understand.
And I
say, we
we're in
a good
moment
where we
have opened
the
in a way incredible, if
it's, if,
it's,
it's,
to be the
more, I imagine
that I'm, I imagine
that I'm going to, I'd
like, I'd like,
because it's the
right of one.
But we're in a position
privileged,
like it's any
American artists that
our audience would know
that you would love
to work with?
Like, is there anybody,
obviously you've worked
with some of the biggest artists,
but is there anybody in particular
that you would love to hear
doing your style of music?
I like, I like much,
Post Malone
I'd like to do
something. I'd like
much as well as
Bruno Mars
The Weekend
Chris Brown
are artists that I'd like
to collaborate with them
You'd like a lot of R&B
then so?
Yeah, me
I like the R&B
and so
I think the hip-hop
I think you
because he likes
much the Tupac
without you?
Yeah, I've
heard much music
of Tuba
and how
how I've created
that
in the house
in the
with the streets, with
friends.
No,
he was
on YouTube,
and my
manager, Frank
Miami,
is fanatic
of Tupac
and I
always
I put in
the
music.
What's the
favorite
song of
his?
He has
one of
that he
says,
Mijie,
that he
is a
black
complete.
Those are
two
classics.
This one.
Would you ever
do this
one?
Is a
a song
like the
like the
head him up,
never
they never
a
And the tiradero
too, you can never hate somebody so much
you want to make a whole song about them?
How like?
How do you?
Like if,
if never had to
someone,
as you can do it,
the song like you did,
the hit him up?
Yeah,
yeah.
It's just, yeah.
You can't
send a rapagazzo.
And if,
right,
all the,
what's what's
how it's
like,
I'm,
I'm,
I hear the,
I hear the,
I hear the
the club is one of the first that they're
the first that they're paying and is
I can't see a lot
but also people suffering
you know what shuffling?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So how is, how is it,
how does it talk all the genres
but it was a regettone in that sense?
I tell you, because I've
had different hits in what
is my career and I've
seen the different reactions of the public.
Majorment the hits
that I've had been,
are the songs that have been in a tempo...
More rapid?
...mallento, okay.
...morelain't.
And, well, the reaction was that the people
was the chorus, because the chorus was chis and it was
it's...
It was easy to learn, me understand.
Yeah.
When I did the creepy coach with...
...combat, I saw the shuffle for the first,
the people, breaking.
But normal, because it was a trap,
me...
Yeah.
When I'm...
I'm going to now with this of Peppa and I see the reaction that is the
people desquished,
you know,
being,
so different.
It's different.
I think it's the first time that I get that type of energy in a crowd.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, that song is crazy.
40 million views in a week or some shit like that.
No, and organics.
It's a,
that I just a little lanced the art of,
and I was up to YouTube,
so with the audio,
and it's viral,
so.
Right.
So,
so,
today,
you're
to take a
time,
you're not
it's rare.
It's very.
It's very
very.
It's very.
Yeah.
And when,
and when
we're in the
studio,
if it's
the song,
never
thought,
okay,
that's,
I'm going,
I'm going,
so,
obviously the
life
was changed,
where you
have been
this
song with
an
artist,
a artist,
but this
song
to get to
another
in a
sense
when you
think you
you think,
you think,
in this
sense,
that you
I think that's a mark a precedent because it's not the first
ever that one-hits, me-hits.
Many times there are people that are one-hit wonder.
And I've had that bendition of
going to, and down and down,
and every one more than one more than one more than
one makes a song and then one knows what
to do you know, because how you're going to
super a la the, the best you've
had that suites and that bendition of the fanatic
that I've been growing,
that no matter the years that I go to career.
But is what I said, when I do
when I do music, I do it with the
because I like.
I never do think that this is
the song number one.
If I do I do experiment, it's like
to have a fabric of automobiles
and you're creating a prototype,
me, and you go to the public,
well, if we're going to do you,
if we're doing prototypes, me understand.
If you think that's the problem with artists
in music, but in the genre, reggeton,
like, where they have a song
and they're with that song for years,
And no...
And no...
And no pass more nothing.
Uh-huh.
So, it's very difficult.
There are many artists
that are one-hounder.
And I...
That is a fear
that I've been
always,
me understand.
But I do that
that...
That's when
you do a
song with
mentality of
that's a number
one.
Or,
or maybe you
didn't,
when you got
to have a
number one,
you've done
to try.
And you
still getting a
way to
find a way of
inventive. And that's the
my mind of artists
of not able to superer every
song that I always
me make that in the case, it's
the number one, but it has to be a
better song.
If you, I'm gonna, I'm gonna.
I have, I'm gonna, I'm gonna.
But what keeps you motivated to keep going?
Because, you know, I would assume that you're
pretty comfortable financially. Obviously, you're
famous as fuck, one of the most famous artists
from your country and shit. What do you,
like what actually makes you want to keep working,
whereas a lot of people might just chill?
I'm going to imagine
to get the fame to someone
that never took
nothing, you know, I'm trying, you know,
to get a lot of you, I mean, what
I'm trying to make up to hear about, I don't
do this for money, no I do for fame,
I do it for superar me, for me, for me, for me
for me, I see, I'm a player, me
and I have to be the player
more valiose, me, you know,
or I have to have a legation
in the, in the cancha
that I've had a game
unique, me
and I don't
do I do
do I do
not do to
do you
know I
know I'm
I'm not
that I'm
think I'm
that nobody
played like
nobody
nobody
didn't
the game
that was
that I'm
do you feel
like you're
actually in
competition
with the new
generation
of artists who are
probably
mostly inspired
by you
can't
maybe
you
can't be
it can't
it can't
it can't be
one
that one
that other
I'm
You know, because,
lastimusamously, a
some people that don't respect
to those that have time, me
understand.
But it's like
there's one or another
that's,
that's really,
I admire what I do,
and I'm impede,
me, you
think?
But I,
you think the
era of you,
is more open-minded
to help
to help those
who are
sub-eating,
that as they're
about them,
with those who are
about to them?
Yeah.
Yeah, right?
Yeah, I think the era of
More amable?
More amable to collaborate.
Because many of the artists that
are the same.
I'm not going to color
as much as to be like I,
more than I'm more than I.
With the day of the other,
I don't go to collaborate,
me, you know.
And at the day
about, that is to have to be
up to get up,
yeah, me understand.
What's the difference
between the girls in Puerto Rico
versus the girls in America?
I'm stupid.
I never been there,
so I don't know.
I need to hear a review.
The Puerto Ricanas are
little, but they're
much.
What's that?
Problematica.
They're toxic fool.
Here?
No, no, no.
In Puerto Rico.
And,
and working
like the Alpha,
how's,
how comes
that when he has
has been in the studio
together,
how is the
braeba,
like with Barban
and all that.
The Alf and I
are we
are very
friends.
When he
he started,
he comes to
from a
place
different,
that is
Republic of
America,
and there,
as,
there,
there,
no,
there,
no,
no, there was an artiste urban,
uh,
so,
so there was a
Romeo in the Batchata,
if there was a
Juan Liggar in the Merengue,
but no,
there was an artist
urban a
level world,
as what has
got to the
alpha.
And in that
principle that I
know he,
he still didn't,
he was still
not, if it
was a public
Dominican, but
still didn't
internationalized.
We did
a good
amitou, I
did what I
did much in
what was the
the business,
of how
manage to
to,
to see if you're
like an artist
international.
And he's
left to give
to me in
many things
and I
agree with the
success that
has been,
I'm
it's a
good for me,
for the
Republic of
Dominican because
I know,
that I
know,
and that's
a person
that's
that's
we're a
good
amsted.
I want you
to ask some
questions.
I'll be,

What I'm what I do I want to
I don't want to get that trot of
that competition all the time,
but I want to get to get a moment of my career
where me do it and I'm just to do
what I want to do, you want to do,
and explore other areas or other things.
Because is that is something
where you want to live a more relaxed?
I think that's, I'm a living a more relaxed
and also I think that

Me, you know, I want to go in one of my

destiny not the best, you know,
I've seen that I was a little rebel,
and that they were the way to break with me,
and I, well, I did a lot of the
of the head and problems my papa,
but, at all I imagine,
I've made that I've done the things well,
that I've focused on what is my career,
and in what I like to do so,
in my talent.
You think they're going to do a documentary when it's a document that you're
that's all easy?
All right, yeah, when you're
the career in the CES?
Yeah, I think that I think I have a
a story that's interesting to tell you to my life.
I don't know if it's a me in that moment, but when it
talk, I think there are many anecdotes and stories that
can't tell good, that can serve in inspiration for much people.
In your career, what was,
I think the year is more difficult or it was more difficult for you,
where it's where it's where you're,
and it's where you're,
there's different things for your life.
I think about two years ago,
I've, I've,
took a situation in my career,
where I arrested.
Oh, if for the money?
Yeah, for a money.
And, also,
artistically, not,
not, I'm not in my most moment,
too, you know?
And it was a pretty
I was a very
very much
things in
in the life
and the
career also
and it
was a
but I
wanted
and I'm
and you know
what is the
important
you want to
do the next question
you want to
I've seen your list
on your phone
I want to make sure you get to it

But, but I don't
I am I to pronounce it.
I'm like, no, I don't know,
it's a...
Because I don't know

No, but I don't think that's the
word, because it's like...
Because it's like...
He knows,
Spanish.
He's not trying, you're not trying.
Pussy right here.
So, if he wants...
If you know, the...
If you know, but...
Why don't know?

but you're in a, in a career where you,
you know, why not prove a different?
Yeah.

you know, you don't even speak Spanish at all.
I'm trying.
No, you're not.
I'm listening.
Say one thing in Spanish to him.
Ask him a more question in Spanish.
That would be so offensive for me to bust out.
Because I'm going to bust out my like
12 year old Spanish.
There's nothing wrong with it.
No, there's something wrong with it.
I'm not doing that.
Yeah.
Let's say I'm going to ask you.
He's waiting for your Spanish question.
I mean,
I don't want to disrespect his fucking entire culture.
You're not disrespecting it.
I'm like saying he's disrespected when you're...
I don't even think I could make a sentence.
I think I just got words.
This individual word.
I would have a hard time putting them all together.
By the way, I like your shirt.
I like the hell.

I was telling him that at least he tries to do a song in English.
And he's the, I might try it.
I'm going to try it.

You're not even trying to talk in Spanish.
Yeah, that's fair.
