"This is Mexican Ska at its best. It contains a themed set of songs about living in the biggest Latinamerican city; the album celebrates the idea of life as a carnival, and as a group of minstrels would do they sing tales of urban heroes from the slums and traditional neighborhoods -- called 'veci..."  [+]  Reply

"This is actually a respectable album, people over-look it because too much of the world thinks lil waynes career didnt start until the release of Tha Carter III.

""Smile" comes off more americana than country, but all the same, the album's replete with pop sensibilities which often puts a smile on this face. They're asking you to "smile when you're down and out" and keep your "chin up". then they're proclaiming their love glowingly from the tallest buildin..."  [+]  Reply
