Mine is Yan Block, he was everywhere.

the big thanks in Reguetón are PR, RD, Cuba, and now Colombia. People barely talk about cuban musicans. Cubans influenced the 80% of the latin music in the 20 century; now nobody talk about it, why??

shucks there was no room for chosen few fe & remix classicos so out of the list, my least favorite is between chosen few iii & urbano rd chosing chosen few iii as i liked more tracks on rd over iii while my best is chosen few ii

Why does this stuff sound different on Spotify? Like you don’t hear any of the AI voices

Anyone else concert get cancelled Looks like he did not sell his venue lol

Now need my refund

who is todays cultural icon when it comes to urban music? who has the cult following like Carti?

I can not find it because I don't know the words, but I will try to guess some of what she says lol

"One, (??????) Two (l'm gonna stand by you???), Three (look what you do to me??) Four, (what are you waiting for???)”

Edit: okay so it’s definitely “Back at One”, but the closest version of it I can find is by Sanchez. Does anyone know of a Reggae version sung by a woman??

Please help! I love it so much but can't remember it for the life of me.

Anyone know?

Reggaetón in my opinion is done! its too generic and repetitive and now boring

partly due to so many countries having the same sound like Colombia and Chile

it lost its originality!

and I believe other Latin genres will now take over like Dembow, Bachata, Mexican Music, and Brazilian Funk unless a new wave of Puerto Rican artists take over

who else feels this?

I would like to say I still enjoy some new songs that have come out. Maquina by yandel, Click, ft luar, mirame remix. (I think anuel is doing great as a feature this year) Some Hades66 features I have really liked as well.

But I think as a whole, as a genre, It has lost tons of that real reggaeton vibe. I would say its become more like latin pop imo (I might just be listening to the wrong artists)

. I miss that agressive vibe that hypes you up and also makes you want to dance. A great song for me for example is Colmillo by Tainy. That shit went HARD. Agressive and sick transitions.

Everytime I listen to very old school shit Im like FUCK this is HARD.

Tu pum pum - Johnny Prez

Flow callejero / Hasta que te lo unda - Ñengo flow ft Polaco

Chica plastica - Johnny Prez ft Yaga y Mackie (good lord 😫)

Rosando con mi piel - Lito y Polaco ft Nicky Jam

What are some artists (or songs ) right now that you really like and have that same vibe but modernized? I get the songs that I have mentioned are pretty old and can be seen as very outdated.

What are some of the best albums that dropped in recent years? im pretty new so everything is welcome

I'm a Florida HxC Kid that grew up around reggaeton so I don't know much about it, but I always had the inclination that it was for the most part music to dance to and play at parties. I was wondering, is there any reggaeton music that comes from a true place of pain/sadness/ostracization? Like what Dalek was to Hip Hop, Nick Drake to folk, Burial to dance music, ect. Who is reggaeton's Death Grips?

Basicamente eso, hace años escuché un tema, probablemente de maleanteo, dado lo que recuerdo, lo cual es solo una frase, pero por lo peculiar que es, se me quedó grabada y a día de hoy es todo lo que puedo recordar de la canción, el problema es que cuando busco la frase, no importa donde sea, no encuentro nada relacionada a la música, como si esa frase nunca se hubiera dicho/escrito o como si la canción nunca hubiese existido, así que hoy recurro a Reddit para ver si alguien más escuchó la canción, o reconoce la frase y sabe de que tema viene.

La frase en cuestión es (o era?!) algo así: "Buscando un par de cerdos fugitivos que se me escaparon pero están mas muertos que vivos"

Por favor, si alguien puede ayudarme, se lo agradecería muchísimo, porque realmente dudo que esto sea algo que yo pueda inventarme y recordar durante años. Gracias.

1. Who is he beefing with this time? I'm lost.

2. Will we get a new FN tiraera? IMO if we were, he would have done it by now.

EDIT: Just checked IG to answer question #1. It is Anuel again.

Alguien ya compró esta edición del vinilo de Amazon? Veo que hay muchas reseñas que por fabrica el disco viene en malas condiciones y suena raro en ciertas partes. Adicionalmente que veo en los detalles de la pagina de Amazon que el listado de las canciones vienen ordenadas para el lado de la verga.... además de que omite "Un Preview".

Alguien que me pueda decir si estos dos puntos son correctos/mentira por favor :)

I was so shook when I saw the news. They were my favorite couple.

I started getting into salsa recently, and I noticed there are a lot of reggaeton songs which sample salsa songs. One example is Julito Maraña by Julio Voltio which samples Juanito Alimaña. What are some more salsa songs which are sampled by reggaeton songs? I would love to go back and listen to the originals to see where the samples come from, and appreciate another layer of Puerto Rican culture. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I am trying to make a decision on where to see Rauw in concert. I wanted to know if anyone knew if the event in Puerto Rico is a party or a concert. There is a stage, but the tickets are only $100 so it seems too good to be true if it’s a concert.

Yandel - Quien Contra Mi (2003)

The first Yandel solo album really is something special. It came out at the perfect time and truly was what people wanted. At the time, it wasn't normal for Reggaeton crooners to release solo works. You needed a guy to do the Raggamuffin verse or Rap verse which in Puerto Rico they call chanteo. It is a timeless formula implemented by so many legendary acts like Hector & Tito, Zion y Lennox, Plan B, Baby Rasta & Gringo, Jowell & Randy (aunque Randy chantea a veces), Karel & Voltio, and of course, Wisin & Yandel. There were also duos were both guys did the chanteos, but one often focused on the singing and choruses like Daddy Yankee & Nicky Jam, Angel & Khriz (they did both), Alexis & Fido, Yaga & Mackie, Horny Man & Panty Man, 2 Sweet, Trebol Clan, Master Joe & OG Black among many others... The game could really use duos today as they were often better than one when you combine 2 great and/or solid talents.

So, Yandel coming out with a solo album created some doubt at first, despite having the solo hits "Dembow" and "Guayale El Mahon" prior to the release of "Quien Contra Mi". Of course all doubts were erased when the singles were released and led to the album selling 100 thousand independently and another 100 thousand when Yomi Fresh licensed it to Mexican Record label 'Lideres'. The first two singles and music video were "Say Jo" and "Ya Me Canse". 2 really great classic Luny Tunes productions with one being a party track that samples the classic 'Movie Star Riddim' from Jamaica, while the other is one of those sophisticated Luny Tunes melodies with Horns, Strings, and Bells like a symphony with a strong Reggaeton beat backdrop. People loved and still appreciate that sound. Although it seems new producers don't have it figured out which is why we no longer hear that classic Luny Tunes sound in new music.

That song, "Ya Me Canse" which is about Yandel being betrayed in a relationship was actually the biggest hit at first, but that would change as the 3rd single "Me Suelto El Pelo" became the album's most famous hit worldwide and is probably Yandel's biggest solo song of his career. Individual featurings with Alexis & Fido were also included in the music video. "Mami Yo Quisiera Quedarme" with Alexis is an all time Malianteo classic. Tego also appears with Yandel remixing their previous collab with new verses and lyrics. A salsaton version of "Dembow" produced by Luny Tunes also appeared which helped make the song more famous internationally.

Luny Tunes handled most of the production. DJ Sonic contributed "Te Suelto El Pelo". And DJ Joe made 2 beats as well. It most likely is Yandel's best solo work. It is kinda simple thematically at least. And the entire album has a congruent sound throughout but it ages incredibly. It is just as good as Mas Flow 1 except it is Yandel by himself doing all the songs. They don't make productions like this anymore. You can tell he went in there and tried to make every song a single/hit. Even "Buscame" could have worked as a single. The album is near perfect.

Rating: 9.5/10

Worldwide Sales: Over 500 Thousand Units with streaming taken into account.
