Ricky Martin feat. Fat Joe & Amerie - "I Don't Care"

Posted on October 12, 2005 12:16 PM

In one of the quickest requests I’ve ever turned, we find that Ricky Martin and Fat Joe make strange bedfellows.

I can’t quite call this, nor could I say I ever saw it coming, but La Vida Loca meets Lean Back and enlists the R&B stylings of Amerie on Senor Martin’s newest single and video combination “I Don’t Care.” [watch it now]. Wow, Ricky… You could have fooled me. (Please feel the sarcasm there.)

This man used to be on soap operas. Wouldn’t you think he could convey emotional distress a little better than just pretending to toss his hair and looking away from the camera? I mean, nothing says “I wanna murder everything moving” like a little Sean Paul running man with extra hip movement.

Seriously, the nigga’s shit is on complete swivel. I don’t think there are any ligaments or anything holding his midsection to form. As a friend of mine said a long time ago… “There’s definitely sugar in his tank.” You don’t need that gay-rumor Geico-lizard Wendy Williams to speculate on this one.

What a choice for video attire, Ricky! I see your stylist went with the Ed Norton from The Honeymooners uniform. Good call! It really makes you look rugged!

Can someone explain that little ass brick wall portion? Were we supposed to see all of it? Directors need to decide is the video going to be shot on an obvious set… or not!

Question of the Day: What is Ricky air-humping at? I don’t think this is the time or place for air-humping! He’s supposed to be getting his burner and dumping shots at the Greenwich Village party going on in front of him. Or maybe that’s what Fat Joe’s for.

They successfully made this video look like a ghetto cologne commercial. All this video is missing is Cam’ron and a bottle of his toilet water.

What is up with Ricardo's hair? That is without question the worst fade I’ve ever seen. His barber should be strangled with the clipper cord… Unless his mama did it… Then it’s understandable.

P.S.: Ricky Martin is not interested in Amerie… or any other woman dancing around. Interestingly enough she got Fat Joe all up on it too. I guess she’s good.

The Amerie make-up smudge/cry shot is not because of Fat Joe's angry chastizing. It's because she is coming to terms with the fact that she really loves Ricky and is creeping on him because she hears him murmur dudes' names at night.

While Fat Joe did the right thing by kicking Amerie’s blackanese ass to the curb, being on a Ricky Martin track and appearing in his video are inexcusable. This is like early Christmas for 50 Cent. Clickety-clank.

  • There's something about this song that I do like and I don't know why. As Darth knows I have been traumatized by seeing Ricky "snake" it.

    This video was cheesy and low budget, but the real problem to point out was: what was amerie's point of being there?she had like 2 words in the song, but yet she gets a dance routine?

    Fat Joe, fat joe, fat joe. Why don't you just put a "I like balls" sign on your chest. It would be a lot easier for 50 and yourself.

  • You hit it right when you said it was like a ghetto cologne commercial. The song is awful, god damn AWFUL. Fat Joe must have sat there and been like "who could i possibly collab with to do irreversible damage to my career? The only person who could have possibly been worse is Christina Aguilera (wait did that already happen?). I guess i can't hate on Fat Joe that much tho... Nelly has been contributing to this "urban pop" shit for years now and look how much he sells.

  • I wasnt really feeling the video or the song. Ricky acts way to feminime in this video. Fat Joe and Amerie are just there for street cred. I still love Joey crack but this may have been the stupidist move hes made since he got caught up with roy "get ko" Jones jr.

  • Ya'll just some hating fools...Let Fat Joe do whatever he wants and is in his best interest. I respect dude for simply venturing off into a new genre unlike most rappers who are afraid to even think about it. What the hell...can you guys see that HIP HOP is not POP? Hate it or love it...

  • rip off says...
  • This song sounds like a rip off of "I Don't Know" by Usher. Just replace I don't care with I don't know.. and voila..

  • October 13, 2005 8:41 AM
  • by the way says...
  • By the way.. this isn't the first time Fat Joe is on a Ricky Martin track. He and Big Pun were on the Livin La Vida Loca remix.. (I believe it was produced by the Trackmasters)...

  • October 13, 2005 8:44 AM
  • Ron Mexico says...
  • I thought so! I coulda sworn he was on another one... I just couldn't remember. Good looks.

  • B-DaWL says...
  • Thank you Ronnie for once again proving to my friends why you are my hero. I swaer this song was getting on my nerves and if I see Ricardo shaking his bamba one more time...i might go livin lavida loco on his ass...

  • Yo this is the funniest ish i've read on here ever!!!

    Fat Joe being on that is one way to keep atlantic from kicking his no record selling ass on the label. Secondly he's supporting a fellow rican who's got a huge and open fan base, again it goes back to record salees. Did he make a stupid move? Hell yeah, stevie wonder could see that. Will it hurt him as much as it will hurt 50 to have been in a video/studio/business with a guy that stripped for dudes (the game) for money? Nah no where near it. this video is a fluke, waste of film,time, and money.

    Oh yeah to dude who called menudo cheesy, If you was seeing that kind of bread in that era and getting the girls (for the straight members of the group) these cats was snatching up you'd be singing "mi moto" too. Stop frontin'.

  • c b w says...
  • Woop! Woop!

    That's not the sound of the police. That is the sound of a career going down in flames. I thought this cat was out pulling an Angelina Jolie saving kids somewhere in the world.

    Anyway, is the Amerie dancing footage from the rehearsal for the "One Thing" video?
    Does this video strangely resemble Destiny's Child "Soldier" video?

    Finally, Lil Ricky, here is a list of things that just because they are props n your video does not give you "street cred"

    -Brick Wall with graffitti
    -pay phone
    -park bench
    -Fat Joe(although making a girl cry while his friends sit by and look cool, is not that uncommon)

    There's always work at the Post Office.

  • The only gay here are all of you, ricky is the best, period, you shouldn't judge somebody like that, you're just jealous cause he's everything you're not, your girlfriends would dump you for him, take a look at all the women he's been with,madonna,daisy fuentes, countless supermodels, including a relationship of 16 years with rebeca de alba, so better watch your words, don't be jealous, he's a latin guy, the best by far, fat joe knows that and wants to introduce him to the rap world wich has judge him badly, hell is waiting for many rappers, this is a good chance to change that,take a look at all the humanitary help he's given, he's not selfish like ya all,and by the way,ricky rules.

  • My RX-7s OWN You says...
  • WTF???? Crack isn't introducing Ricky to the rap world. He just did a guest appearance on a friend's song. Nothing more, nothing less. As for those that think this gives 50 cent ammo.... Half a buck is too busy living in Conneticut and traveling with the boys in blue for protection. Face it, 50 is a FRAUD. WAKE UP and turn your TV to something OTHER then MTV. YES, 50 sells records. To ALL the suburban white children that want to offend their mommy and daddy or just want to be "street" and "gangsta" since thats what MTV tells them it is. Joe sells to real rap fans who know the deal and have been listening to rap for over 10 to 20 years.
    BTW, Ricky has probably had more females then most of the posters put together. You're all the same people who call Prince gay.

  • Mr. (know it all) Ronnie who likes to correct people like u did the guy in the 1st comment should know that's not Amerie in what u called the "Amerie make-up smudge/cry shot" it's just some etxra video chic. But i'm sure you knew that - Probly just running out of corny one liners. Are you having DEGRADING COMMENETERS BLOCK?

  • October 20, 2005 11:02 AM
  • Ron Mexico says...
  • I don't know. You sure aren't at a block for being on my dick.

    Did your girl tell you she reads my shit daily or something? Or did your EBT card run out early on you?

    In other words... TELL 'EM WHY YOU MAD, SON!!!

  • October 20, 2005 11:12 AM
