<p>who else is convinced that this is the best popular song to hit the charts since ghetto superstar?</p>

2

<p>I’m listening to it right now online, and its pretty good. But better than Ghetto Superstar? I don’t know…</p>

<p>“Cholo” is derogatory in certain Spanish-speaking countries. Instead of being interpreted as “gangster” it actually means “peasant” to some people. So the song really doesn’t make any sense.</p>

4

<p>^Like most other songs these days…</p>

5

<p>I had always thought Cholo was the Latin equivalent of the N word until I heard that song.</p>

<p>I’m sorry but I have to disagree. </p>

<p>I believe “Lean like a cholo” sucks really, really bad. lol. It’s funny to find someone who loves it- just comes to show how many different tastes are out there. :)</p>

<p>It is. But just like the N word is used by some african americans in music to look “cool”, now the C word is been used by some hispanics in music to look “cool” as well. </p>

<p>Huh.</p>

<p>lean like a cholo…sucks…big time…i’d rather walk it out…</p>

<p>i don’t think it’s really “hitting the charts” considering it’s like, a year old.</p>

<p>Dude, I am mexican and I grew up in a mexican community. Cholo is like a thug and what not. You have to hear “Lean Like A Chola”
It is the best,</p>

<p>^ That is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen.</p>

13

<p>The song is more representative of a poser-latino gangster culture than real south american culture. I’m peruvian and in peru ‘cholo’ is used as a term to describe someones thats stupid or foolish.</p>

<p>well obviously mexican and peruvians see things as different.</p>
