Soul, Funk, Rap - Portuguese

"I found this song in a very obscure brazilian video on YouTube, it's called "Pretin Cara Do Diabo". The song is being recorded with a very bad mic and there's people talking over it, so I don't even know what language it's in, but it sounds like it could be a rap of some sort."

Maybe this song is from a rap group? Doesn't sounds like funk to me, most likely those romantic raps that had a soft singer in the chorus, like "Vagalumes", i think i can hear she saying "ficar numa boa"

It's very likely that this song is either a remix or a song heavily inspired by Lovers & Friends directly, I've overlayed the original by Lil Jon and the version heard in this clip and the instrumental is very similar as well as the delivering of the lyrics, though the lyrics themselves sound very different, I couldn't hear any words in particular, but from what I managed to hear is that when the original song says "That we'll be lovers and friends", the version used in the clip sounds just vaguely similar until the "lover and friends" part, and it ends with something that has an "o" sound.
My best guess is that this song really is a "brazilian funk version" of Lovers & Friends, as it's very common for funk songs to be extremely sample heavy by either remaking instrumentals or reusing them entirely, it's also common for funk songs to have the same cadence of speak as the songs they are sampling. Though I haven't found the full song of it, I'm certain I could stumble upon it if I search hard enough, it's probably hiding in old funk playlists from around 2006-2012.

Update!! The song i was thinking about was NOT Can't Raise a Man, it was Roll In Peace by Layton Greene, but that song samples Lovers & Friends by Lil Jon ft Usher and Ludacris, which was released in 2004. There has to be some brazilian cover/remix out there for sure.

Heres the video you are talking about that features this song ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WQNsJM_Wm8 ) which was uploaded in 2010. i am currently veryyy invested in finding this song because K. Michelle released a song that sounds A LOT similar to this in 2014, 4 years after this upload. k michelles song: ( https://youtu.be/jZf-Zft85Xs ) but it is very obviously not that song because it's in a whole different language AND predates it. We could try searching for Brazillian radio archives or music charts from 2010 and before.

Thats what i assume aswell. This song was a very popular song to cover during the time it came out and even still is to this day just in different forms.

It sounds like she could be saying something like "Amar" or "Amor" which means love in Portugese. It also seems like she could be saying both because the way she says the word is slighty different each time. Just posted the link to the video on a brazillian music reddit, hopefully someone there knows something!

I like to watch very old and obscure videos on youtube whenever I'm bored, one of the times I did that I search something along the lines of "cara do diabo before:2012" because I was looking for those old conspiracy videos made on movie maker, ended up finding a mysterious song instead

Never say never, I guess. The title just means "lil dark devil face' so I think it's a cutesy name from the uploader of the original vid about their partner.

How'd you stumble onto it?
