THE REVIEW

The cover is eloquent: Fabri has shot himself in the head.
As for the charm of the title, it is entirely ironic. Fibra has chosen you to accompany him through the infernal circles of the nightmare in which his sick mind lives. Fabri has accumulated a long series of disappointments and is oppressed by a thousand frustrations. He then vents all his anger by unleashing eight thousand words on you (at a rate of 125 per minute) full of resentment, bitterness, and sometimes pure malice.
Just when you think you've heard way too much, in the blink of an eye Fibra leaves you speechless and floored. It takes him just a couple of rhymes to reach peaks of style and skill. You can't waste time being scandalized. You cannot afford to lose sight of Fabri Fibra.

Mr. Simpatia reveals himself as a mad puppeteer who pulls the strings of his puppets: there is Fabri, there are various national-popular celebrities, exponents – or alleged ones – of the hip-hop scene, and a bizarre mix of characters, like the Japanese woman in garter belts, the milkman who drinks expired milk, the prostitute with two kids to support... all caught in improbable and often borderline indecent situations.

The album is an absolute excess of words and style, full of simple yet never trivial rhymes, of fresh images so vigorous that they stick to you and satisfy your imagination. True talent should never be limited; only in this way can an artist's flair satisfy our need for something good. Fabri Fibra has succeeded, thanks to his innate class and the beats produced by his brother Nesli, which perfectly match the general atmosphere of the album.
And, I almost forgot: if you are "God-fearing people," Fibra may probably not appeal to you... so much the better, the feeling is mutual.

 Purchasing his CD is not recommended for those over eighteen, but there are at least 17 reasons plus two why it is worth listening to.

 Finally, a real rap album that concerns us, with the right dose of verbal violence that shakes even the calmest souls.


By sexyajax

 Fabri Fibra is a philosopher.

 "Non Crollo" best expresses the "Sfiber" sentiment, a desire to escape a society of bobbe malle, pimps, and punk idiots.


By Avvincino

 "Mr. Simpatia is an anthem against the current society and its decay, which also serves as an autobiography for Fibra."

 "The album, with sharp language that at times spills into the reluctant, fully expresses the anger and disgust of the rapper from Senigallia."


By Il Tarantiniano

 Mr. Simpatia is the voice of everyone who has had to deal at least once in their lives with annoying bosses, traitorous friends, failed love experiences, and identity crises.

 The language of Fibra in this album is hard, raw, ruthless, sharp but damnably effective and immediate to the listener’s ear.
