...first two tracks; amateur Internet remix geeks have come up with far better. It’s one thing to find something good and to stick with it, but there is no logical justification for Mirwais’ almost obsessive repetition of the same, horrible samples. Skip this track. Your eardrums will thank you. “I Can’t Wait” is better, beginning with an interesting faux-oriental motif, and continuing on to tread more familiar pop rhythms.

As a member of the scheduled castes, he is required to name the caste community he belongs to, which is based in the southern state of Kerala. It was not on the census list. Embarrassed officials suggested he skip that column. He refused. India's census commissioner Jayant Kumar Banthia says that separate scheduled caste lists are compiled for each state.
