OK, first off, I love Los Rakas: they're one of the most exciting Spanglish things coming out of California. And I love the sound of this single - that instrumental is like hyphy that's been chopped and screwed with the treble up, and their voices have the most amazing quality.
But what's with the girls at the beginning of the video?! They look about 14. If the lyric of your chorus is "ella 'ta lista" ("she's ready"), it doesn't look good to have pre-teens in your video. Just saying.
I'm not blaming Los Rakas - their lyrics are faultlessly non-specific, and they have a great track record of not presenting women as objects. But whoever cast those girls needs a reality check.
Anyway, ignore the video, listen to the song, and love that instrumental. Los Rakas are amazing.
