Santana’s Town
Lonely Island f/ E-40 – “Santana DVX“ (Prod. By J-Zone)
from Incredibad (Universal, 2008)
40 Water links up with The Lonely Island of SNL/”Jizz In My Pants”/”Lazy Sunday” fame for this tribute to the greatest Mexican-American guitarist of all time and the greatest sparkling wine he ever attached his name to. It’s not the direct “Carlos Rossi” parody some had hoped for, but 40 rapping from the perspective of Carlos Santana surely warrants a mention. Anyone else catching a “Pimps” vibe from this track?

Did anyone catch the “big pimpin”/”all rick ross/money is the only thing i rap about” parody about being on a boat? this misses the beginning but it’s pretty funny.

Classic.
I heard about this track a while ago and it came out how I hoped it would. 40 sounds like he had fun doin’ this.

Thanks.

Pray for a remix with just Bay rappers… Husalah deserves a beat like this.

I see what you mean by the Pimps vibe, the beat is hot.
“A horse drank a bottle and fucked a cow.” Classic!

another thread gank– but i just peeped the extremely(rightfully so) hyped Swagger like Us grammy performance and was not let down by anybody but TI. poor guy, the whole thing was for him to shine before jail time and his delivery was hands down the worst, could barely annunciate his words out there. Hova seemed like he was on some real OG frank lucas status next to dudes, and i love MIA’s fearless outfit 7months prego…

word. Weezy’s falling into the 808, i can’t sing but i’m gunna anyway tune. fair enough. I wasn’t referring to what they are doing with their careers big cat. strictly the performance. did you see it? Tip was hands down the worst one, and the only one that wasn’t on point.

the only problem with tip’s performance was his microphone’s sound volume

Yeah, Wayne, Kanye and Jay were all “eh,” but T.I.’s mic was too quiet and he was just shouting his part the whole time.

Wow, I thought I was only other person who really appreciates the genius that is “Stork Patrol.”

That’s totally a Chief Chinchilla outtake. Right? It’s even produced by J-Zone.

J-Zone did a whole album of malt liquor commercials, just like this. So I imagine this an outtake? Dope.
