13. "Dos Tipos De Cuidado" (w/ Jorge Negrete) (1953)

Why you should listen to it: Before there were rap battles, men settled their differences with song and coplas, or poetic smackdowns. In this song, you have two friends who become enemies over the love of the same woman. This back and forth singing battle is performed by Infante and fellow Mexican legend Jorget Negrete. No matter who loses in the end, we all win.
