0:20 HAHAHAHA That's BRILLIANT....

Muchos gracias de este gringo aqui en la ciudad atlantica...NJ!!!

Thanks so much. Even though this is a knock mostly on rich white people, and an inspiration to Latinos, I take it as a life lesson we all can learn. BEAUTIFUL LYRICS They represent EVERYTHING I stand up for. No me gusta la gente plastica... No para mi... NO GRACIAS. Donde vivo, hay muchas plasticas de TODA... They're everywhere... But like the lyrics say: Look for the faces between the plastic.

ya, la vida de plastico

Eh, increible trabajo! Obvio, si uno quiere joder para criticar diria que algunas palabras estan mal entendidas en el español y por ende, mal traducidas al inglés. Pero la verdad es que yo tampoco le entiendo algunas palabras a Rubén. No sé si es su status social en todo cóctel ó en boda u hotel. La parte del corazón de orovel? Oro ver? La que sí se es que al principio dice un muchacho plástico de los que por TEMA en conversación, no TEMOR. Es una idea muy original, muchas gracias. Sos un genio!

[gatatica1]

Es cierto lo que Blades dice en su canción. Daría cualquier cosa por regresar a mi país. Como la extraño! Su gente, sus montañas,su alegría; llevo a Costa Rica tatuada en mi alma...

[jimenezf31]

This is what has happened to us Latino's in New York we have become plastic. Motionless, hating our appearing and loving the white culture "THE POP CULTURE". Great example is Bravo TV!!!!!!!!!!!

@GCPEtrangere just cuz u live somewhere doesn't mean u have to conform to it's ways, if ur as simple minded to think that than u must be a plastico too.

[TheKeepers12]

@ManUtdFanTDC1993 or are you just mad cause he is talking the truth about ur shit country whose fatass pasty white ugly people are more worried about hannah montana and eating dinner at mcdonald's? congratulations on having the largest overweight population in the world, and losing vietnam to a bunch of dudes with garbage bags for clothes jumping out of trees.

Somosa was a brutal evil dictator who love himself, not care a shit about the people. He kill a lot of innocent folks too. This is the guy washington supported back then.

[XoJackieLuvsRonniexo]

@GCPEtrangere I think he is referring to these types of people that can be found in all cities..

[ibague21]
