subject: Crack A Bottle Lyrics | Amor De 4 Paredes Lyrics [print this page] The Crack a Bottle lyrics were written and recorded by American rapper Eminem for his album Relapse. It was initially released as the first single of his sixth studio album.
There was some initial confusion over the songs release, as the song was originally leaked via a mix tape and entitled Number One. At the time, the song was yet unfinished and when the music conglomerate at the helm, Universal Music Group, was reached for comment, they claimed they did not deem the song as its first single.
Despite the so-so reviews from music critics, the Relapse album was highly anticipated and flew up to the first spot in the Billboard charts, making it the top selling album of that year in hip-hop. Detractors of the album felt it was depraved, silly and lacked the emotional depth that his previous albums showed in spades.
The song Crack a Bottle also features rappers 50 Cent and Dr. Dre. The song opened up to mixed reviews. Some critics give praise for the eagerly anticipated line up of Dr. Dre, Eminem and 50 Cent on the same track, while detractors claim the song is lyrically shallow and not Eminems best.
The amor de 4 paredes lyrics were written by the Mexican-born band Enigma Norteno. The song lyrics themselves deal with the ecstasy of falling in love. It was released on the bands self-titled album.
The band originated in 2004 in Sinaloa, a western region of Mexico. Humberto Perez and Ernesto Barajas were the first two original band mates. Together they released an entirely independent record, The Gardener.
It wasnt until 2008 that the band filled out into a quartet. The original band mates added Jose Baldenegro Valdez on drums and Freddy Hernandez on accordian. They released their second album, Unfaithful, under the Sun record label. The album was promoted mainly in Mexico and southern California.
Enigma Nortenos fourth album, Bench Height, caught the attention of Universal Musics latin label, and they promptly signed the band. It was at this moment that the band would hit American soil and receive more attention. They toured the southern United States in 2010 as well as Chicago and San Francisco.
In 2012, Enigma Norteno planned on going on another United States tour with their latest album when tragedy struck. The bands drummer, Jose Baldenegro Valdez, was kidnapped and murdered. His body was found wrapped in a plastic tarp and thrown in a corn field outside of San Manuel in Mexico. He was shot several times.
It is suspected that the death was a result of the band name-dropping members of a local drug cartel in their songs, specifically in the popular song El Ondeado.
