nas is coming doesn't belong on this list.

I thought to myself, ok there's no way Complex can ? this one up but once again they amaze me with their dumb-ass-ness. I won't even waste time trying to debate the list but just off the strength of calling Teflon Don a classic I'm over here looking like....

Yall expectations for everything are too high even for ? it shouldn't be.

Senorita was pretty dope. Dunno what they're talking about. Then again it's Complex.
A little insight into hip hop beyond what has been around the last 5 years would yield that there's always been these tributory movements in hip hop, where the artists would make songs for certain audiences to garner a wider listenership.
In the late-90's/early-2000's, it was the Spanish movement. And rightfully so. Fat Joe was doing well. Big Pun was hitting the circuit about to blow up. Cypress Hill was still going strong. The West Coast was still going strong and the New York Rappers, post-2Pac/Biggie were starting to expand to the West Coast audiences.
It wasn't uncommon for someone like Puffy to come along and make a spanish track. Heavy D did it too, around the same time. He had a song on "Heavy" called "Spanish Fly" in 1999. J.Lo emerged in 1999. Ricky Martin was big.
Delinquent Habits made it onto the soundtrack for Double Take in 2001.
It's understandable why Puffy would make a song like that. And it wasn't a bad song either. Certainly not the worst song on the album.
*Other tributory movements in hip hop that existed back then: the mandatory love song on the album with an R&B artist, and the reggae-infused song (usually reggae artist on the hook...maybe a verse too). -

I always thought mary j asked the track to be taken off cause she used to mess with dame dash, and they were still feeling upset at the ether, jay/nas beef going on, so she asked and nas took it off the album.
i'm not saying that is correct, but that is what i heard in the hood at the time
