Salbakuta is a Filipino rap group formed by Andrew E.[2][1] The group achieved mainstream success with their breakout single "S2pid Luv" whose hook heavily interpolates Barbra Streisand's "Evergreen".
[2] The group rose to prominence in 2001 with their single "S2pid Luv", which Andrew E. penned as they were looking for a radio-friendly single for their debut album Ayoko ng Ganitong Life ("I Hate This Kind of Life").
[3] Despite some controversy over the group's use of explicit lyrics (the album cover already bearing a parental disclaimer similar to the Parental Advisory label used on Western albums) and the Barbra Streisand-derived hook,[4] "S2pid Luv" proved to be a breakthrough single for the group,[5] also spawning a feature-length romantic comedy film adaptation in 2002 starring Andrew E. and Blakdyak.
[6] An alternate version of "S2pid Luv" with an original hook in Tagalog instead of the "Evergreen" sample was later released.
