Hector El Father's "Sola" video



Here's the video for Hector's hit single "Sola," which has been tearing the charts up! This song is dope -- great lyrics courtesy of Wise, Hector sings and raps well, the beat is different, and it manages to be 'hood but passionate at the same time.

The video is a'ight. I'll give Hector props for always scouting out some dope locations... My dude doesn't like to use the same ol' tired-ass spots. BUT the main chick needs some acting lessons, like for real. A'ight so she's cute and has some of that Patricia Velasquez thing going on, but even the parts where she's supposed to be crying look fake as hell (and it seems extra strange that he's singing to her but she'd not seeing him at all -- I get the concept, but the execution is a little off).

The last scene in the cemetary freaks me out -- I get that he died because she withstood her man's abuse and the pain, in turn, killed him ("cada golpe que te da se me va la vida"), but the tombstone with his name on it? Nah man. Let's not start with that. Every time rappersplay with those images it turns into some weridly ominous thing, so let's not go there, reggaetoneros, ok?
