If, by "awesome,"

you mean “fucking terrible.”

It's as good as any reggeaton I've ever heard

Of course, Reggaeton is pretty terrible.

Also, Reyes' verse sounded the best.

It's comparable to Tony Parker's French rap videos.

For what it's worth,

it’s not a song showing off how rich he/they are or w/e.

Talks about how when you grow up broke and then hit it big, like they did, you suddenly have a lot of people who want to be your friends just to get a piece of the pie.

Reyes lines include:

“Where were you, when I would practice on an empty stomach,
and would go whole weeks with the same shirt”

and finishes it with

“My friends are my mom and my dad,
who were the ones who struggled for me”

Jose Reyes is the man

Thanks for the explanation

I was wondering why Jose looked so angry! I thought Miguel Olivo was just off camera or something.

Hey, since you guys enjoyed the translations

I’ll do the same for his few lines at the end of the song. These are especially good as a ball player.

I remember when I was a kid,
I didn’t have anything,
just the goal of progressing
be careful it’s easy to trip
maintain focus until the end

The best thing I can say about this

is that’s it’s nowhere near as bad as the crap Bieber, Nickleback, and Limp Bizkit among other so called artists put out.

by graves9 on Jul 15, 2011 1:21 PM EDT reply actions

I don't think you can actually

compare songs that are that intensely wretched. Decimal point is way too far to the left on all of this stuff — Reyes included.

But this man actually sang the chorus, whereas Khaled just yells out “we da best.”

Carries on the proud tradition begun by "Chocolate Strawberry."

Now let’s see Dickey do a rap video.

by pologroundling on Jul 15, 2011 1:43 PM EDT reply actions

Hmm...Gimme a beat!

My name is Dickey
And I’m here to say
My pitch is tricky
In a major way

I’m a educated guy
Learned at U of T
They watch my pitch go by
No way they beat me

Got a wife named Anne
Not just one girl, but two
A son named Van
We stick together like glue

Got a Jose Reyes shirt
And Dickeyface
Now, I’m a be curt
We winning this Wildcard race

Peace out

I was expecting

Sandy to come in with a “Beat It” Eddie Van Halen-style wankerific throwdown in the middle, while Reyes and that fat guy had a fake knife fight.

I like Reyes more when he is smiling all the time

and playing baseball for the Mets in the playoffs

I LIKE IKE!

If this was an ms paint, I would rec it

But its not, so I dunno what to make of Reyes’ singing (rapping? I can’t tell in a different langue…)

Ryan Miller was the true MVP. See my profile for rant.

Well, when there is a good rapper on the mic,

The lyrics actually matter. Shitty rappers (or 99% of rappers today) it doesn’t.

Metsblog posted this earlier

Matt said, “Seriously, I’ve officially lost count of just how awesome he is.” I’m not entirely sure if he was being serious or not.

As long as the message is positive - which thanks to GilbertP's translation, it seems it is

It’s okay in my book.

Saw this link earlier

somewhere else. I don’t speak the language so didn’t know what story they were trying to tell there. Have since read some comments and more or less get the gist.

I can only assume if he didn’t go down the road of Lastings, this is all good.

Isn't it quite old?

I for one am impressed

I think Reyes does a fine job. There is nothing comical about it and not everything is freakin ironic. Stop hating.

"Stop hating"

For when you haven’t the foggiest what you’d actually like to say, there’s always “stop hating.”

There is NOTHING the slightest bit humorous about a clip of Jose Reyes in sunglasses auto-tune singing in front of a white Ferrari, said footage interlaced with closeups of his sunglasses and blingy watch. It is deadly. Fucking. Serious. Art.
