Keep. I am not fond of this song's explicit and sexually charged lyrics (perhaps even denigrating), but when deciding on keeping or deleting an article, I seek, of course, notability (WP:N) and distinctiveness. I was ready to recommend a redirect for this one, but then I re-read the article and noticed that this particular song is remarkable in that it has crossed language and cultural fences, been adapted and adopted in the Spanish and English languages and reproduced broadly (see here for its popularity in France). This is supported by the sources, which unfortunately do not appear in the article yet. So, simply listing the song among the others would have missed what makes this song special, namely, that differently from the other songs in the album, it went beyond the Beatnuts, crossing into merengue and appearing even in Portuguese, Duth and Finnish charts. Artists like Swinger, Magic Juan (see here) and even the renown Mexican singer, Marco Antonio Muñiz (see here), adapted it. And then it was remixed in English featuring Method Man (see also here). In 1999, Vibe (Volume 7, Issues 7-10 - Page 268) had this to say about the song: "'Se Acabo' is their first strictly Spanish smoker, with a scene-stealing appearance by Proyecto Uno's Magic Juan." Btw, some of the previous links take you to WP:RS, which adds strength to the Keep argument by showing the coverage in the mainstream media. Still, I can be persuaded to the other side. Den...
