I never understood this about “Maria Maria”:

[Taadow]

Chit just came on the system....


Aight - he say she reminds him of a West Side Story, growing up in Spanish Harlem -
so did he use to know her when he was growing up, or does he know her now?

and if she from Spanish Harlem (like he was supposedly), why he talmbat she fell in love in East L.A.?
Are they not in the same place, or what? Again, this is further complicated by the ambiguity of
the timeline.

I mean, that kinda makes sense since later he was talmbat even when they are apart it still
feels like their together...


How was this a hit like that?

Carlos Santana's guitar solo was so good it was responsible for another hit in Wild Thoughts by Rihanna.

To the sounds of the guitar

She moved to la to be a star but she is failing. And she only reminds him of the character of west side story.
