I'd like to hear. Does he sing on this track?
 
brazilian barbeque knocks all others out the box.
that's a booooold statement. i can't argue it though because i never had brazillian barbecue. but if brazillian barbecue has anything to do with tripe, then I can't see it being better than dry rub smoked barbecue. chicken, brisket, ribs, whatever. deep south barbecue styles are unbeatable. sorry i'm on some bbq shit this month for some reason. must be spring fever.
