Daddy Met

We have already reported our findings regarding the '86 Met's Kurtis Blow-inflected single Get Metsmerized. And now, thanks to our Man Monk One and the wonderful magic of the interweb, we no longer need to discuss this seminal work in the abstract.

Here it is in all its vintage splendor.

After you have had a thorough listen and contemplated the startling fact that George Foster was already willing to disrespect the Big Red Machine before the Mets had even won anything, we would like you to consider an important musical question...


Did Rafael Santana invent reggaeton?

After the off-kilter bpm debacle of the Strawman, Teufel, Aguilera et al., Rafael comes in ridiculously on time and on tempo. His lyrics don't deviate from the unexpected "(play-ing short-stop is my game") but his flow is nasty and if you listen close, I think you will you have to recognize whose style Tego Calderon bit.

Best analysis or posted remix of this track will get blessed with the goods.
