Mr. Simpatia is the second studio album by Italian rapper Fabri Fibra. It was released on 1 September 2004 by Vibrarecords.

In popular culture

This album is considered to be one of the most important italian hip hop albums.[1] [2] The rapper Madman quoted it in his first album Escape from Heart, in the track Trash Music:

E non so niente a memoria, nemmeno l'Ave MariaAnd I don't know anything by heart, not even the Ave Maria

Ma so qualcosa di storia tipo Mr. SimpatiaBut I know something about history, like Mr. Simpatia

In this verse, Madman says that like a Christian knows by heart the Ave Maria and other prayers, MadMan knows by heart some records that have made the history of Italian hip hop, which for him is religion.[3]
