I think Tego's stylistic exercises feel a lot more natural than Calle 13's. (I know, no one brought them into this.) Everything he does (on that record at least) seems like a natural outgrowth of his personality.
I mean, blues + reggaeton sounds like A Bad Idea, one that could easily descend into Wyclef Jean "do you see how novel this is? I am teh clever!"-isms, but "Mardi Gras" makes it sound like Tego does that shit in his sleep (in a good way).
Slow != bad.I didn't say slow, I said draggy, which rhymes with saggy.
I don't hate the album, I just don't find myself wanting to listen to it much, and wanting to skip more and more songs. I mentioned this to my friend N. yesterday and she said her Underdog playlist was now down to six songs. Anyway, I still think someone should lace his weed with some PCP.

That seems reasonable. Although artifice != bad.
