TITO PUENTE<3

[funkluv]

[manug20dt3]

I'm pretty sure it's the original version. On the DVD case it says episodes may differ from the original HBO broadcast...I don't know why they cut some of it. I love this poem...as is

[Floetry30]

[AirfficiaL]

[manug20dt3]

I love this..Love Mayda & Lemon. I'm mad they edited the Oye Como Va out of the DVD. My fave part is "You played high, Tito. You made me high, Tito."

[vyanez08]

thanks for inspiring me to lift weight and be ready to fight dummy people like you.

[rodgz000]

[mexon47]

[rodgz000]

i want to marry mayda del valle shes fuckin amazing!

[1UpGamers]

Ooooooh. I know what you mean. She's just got a way about her, her loudness isn't annoying like loudness usually is. There's just something about her.

[rodgz000]

passionate. not many people like that. watch her other poems especially The Gift. awesome!

[warking27]

yea well he wasnt famous for playing drums, he was a Timbales player. look him up and notice what thier talking about when they refer to him lipsynching the timbales. he was brilliant.

[danifilth28379]

Who are they talking Bout?

[jonpr625]

Tito Puente, the best drummer that ever lived!!!!!!

[OjiCreebabygurl]

damn that gives me chills everytyme i listen to this poem goot goot

[edilomar11]

im puertorican and tito puntes was the best timbales player ever

[twinkiejen210]

not that i don't love my race but if that didn't make me want to be latina ...i dunno what will.

love to all the latinos out there.

[morganj24]

is that mayda de valle wit him

[mayebella]

Yes, she is presented in the beginning with Lemon

[vixxa]

that was DOPE!

[N1gRadames]

O no Tito Puente played the Timbales & he was a composer not a singer. Pero anyways the song is Oye Como Va By Tito Puentes & Santana. N jus so ya kno almost all latin music from reggeaton 2 mambo wouldnt b a dam thing right now if it wassent 4 Tito

[BaybeeDoll84]

Is the un-edited version? The DVD doesn't have some parts like this one (1:15)? What song is that btw?

Just curious...

[QbanProphet305]

their talkin bout Tito Puente hes's a salsa singer

[MsMama28]

umm who they talking bout?

[QEDSFCGJHBNKLK]

how bout Tito Puente. the name of the poem and the name they say throughout the poem. jackass.

[sheffboialex]

its not msmamas fault shes slow haha

[msoclassychik]

um i guess

[hotwings29]

i loved it!!! tito was and still is da man =]

[bugstrut]

Poetry could never be this cool, over here, where I live in England.

[ACTORnSCREENWRITER]

Poetry SUX

it's dull, and TV MOVIES is wayy better

if you disagree with me

give thumbs up

[sheffboialex]

i agree that normal poetry sux

but this poetrys kinda different dont ya think

its just like rap

but without a beat

get a life and get away from the movies mate

[bobnos]

its different and nearly all poetry is like this.

poetry advances from not norm.. from what it is..

hip hop is kind of an advancement of potery.. its poetry with a beat.

AND NO dont speak on lil john and fifity cent.. they have nothing to do with real rap.

anyways.. poetry shoudlnt be sticking with odl cliche's it needs to break away from that.. every artist can create an image.. play on words is poetry..

[opidig25gange]

rap.. Rythm And Poetry

[FF10code]

nah thats hip hop

[15FifteenMusic]

lol no sir i believe you are confused

[FF10code]

rap is rythem and poetry? rap is money, cars, and girls.

[15FifteenMusic]

money cars girls? you need to stop listening to the radio if that's what you think

[FF10code]

are we talking about the same genre? What are some hip hop artist in your opinion and what are some rap artist

[15FifteenMusic]

hip hop and rap both have their mainstream radio bullshit (money cars girls) and their underground, which is a lot more than money cars girls.

[Diamond121212]

bet u'd feel diffrent if u looked up K''naan

[FF10code]

i know k'naan. i consider him hiphip, poetry.

[Diamond121212]

im glad u know him and glad u see him as hiphop poetry ^^

have a nice weekend

[Floetry30]

wat you consider immortal technique?

[Mizunderstood08]

If you're gonna love poetry, love the basics as well as the abnormal. True Hip Hop is like poetry with a beat. Rap is Money, Cars, Clothes, Girls, Chains and all that other bullshit you hear on the radio.

[gblake32]

@Mizunderstood08 you perfectly said what i've been saying for a long ass time man i'm only 22 but i'm a poet, highly influenced by rhymes and hip hop. i got into a huge argument with my bro and he's a huge hip hop head i told him TRUE HIP HOP is poetry with a beat man real talk you think poetry wasn't here long before hip hop ? you're a fool. good shit man.

[nicogaby7]

@Mizunderstood08 yes hip hop is culture, that other shit is, well............SHIT!!!!

[Mizunderstood08]

Poetry is a better way to release anger and other emotions. T.V. & Movies will just rot your little brain (or what's left of it) until there's nothing else left.

[Spootmaker]

Ironic since we are watching this on tv ;)

[ariescandy]

wow that was actually amazing. You dont even have to be a fan of tito puente or latin music to enjoy that poem...amazing

[Tokyodymunz]

yeah im not a fan of tito but i REALLY liked that poem

[Actor99]

I actually like lemon

[pecorino69]

i don't like Limon, but this was good and new for him. at least i did'nt have to listen to his rhetoric bout prison. The Puerto Ricin Walter Sochek.

[MsT18]

Don't knock because you wasn't in his shoes respect and be glad for him because he came out of his situation better that was put out for him.

[pecorino69]

take it easy Mr.T, as far situations are concerned here, prison is one that should'nt be hyped up. I'm from Chicago, Humbolt Park and a former Latin King, Violated in and out. Made my bones on Clybourne Ave, Back inda 80s smokin BDG niggaz onda bounce. Tall az they come. that laid out. Lemon is a doofast tall tale maniac, this cats renditions of The Real World are just that...somebody elses writ. learn some Chi-town scripture from the street and don't get hung up onda performance...nuff said

[Lanez84]

I'm not a Lemon fan, but this shit is HOT.

[ThatBoyRaym]

You need to listen to all of his shhh on Def Poetry Jam He is Fire!

[Chanelly721]

[TreeHairedGingerAle]

The song 'tis 'Oye Como Va', written and composed by Tito Puente, the musician of whom they spoke. :) Frequently imitated, never surpassed.

[dstrbdchck]

What is that song they started singing? Anyone?

[chitownmo]

Maya Del Valle. A truly beautiful woman in more ways than one. Beautiful, Intelligent, Creative, what else could you want in a woman(speaking as a man who appreciates a woman for more than just her beauty).
