shitty spanglish rapping over a badly done reggae beat.
Julio Voltio has murdered great songs like "Drop it Like it's Hot" with his reggaeton spew.

a genre of music which was previously known simply as Spanish Reggae. Artist known as El General from Panama and other pioneer artists began the movement which sounded like the Jamaican Reggae of that time. The Spanish Reggae classic "Te ves buena" by El general is actually the "Hmm...Mommie, Mommie" dancehall joint. "El Gran Pana" is the spanish version of "Don Dadda" These early Spanish Reggae classics even made their way into the Jamaican Reggae scene. This genre has evolved to what is now called Reggaeton and its pure garbage. Annoying choruses and high pitched voices attempting to rap over very simple beats which all sound the same make this the worst genre of music I've ever heard. By the way I am a Latino. Latinos were listening to Rap, Hip Hop and (true) Reggae until this Reggaeton went commercial. Anyone who knows music knows this is music at its worst! Props to the pioneers of this music who stayed true to the form but this new generation of Spanish Reggae sucks. Hopefully it will die out in at least another year. If it is so good why are the Latino Djs the only ones promoting this Basura(Garbage)?
Reggaeton music is for the retards with no taste in music. "I listen to Reggaeton because every other immigrant is listening to it too" Create your own original music and stop biting off of other's ideas and saying it in spanish.

Typical music from Puerto Rico and Central America. An urban mix of hip-hop, rap and reggae-dance. Born in the early '90s called "Underground". Back then, it had a more tropical beat, hence the 'reggae' part of the name.
During it's origin, Reggaeton was often banned from the radio and the music was distributed under the table because most of the songs' lyrics were relationed to sex, drugs and violence.
It has now evolutioned into a genuine genre, and is at its peak.
Among some of the pioneer artists are:
Vico C, The Noise, Las Guanabanas, Las Gargolas, DJ Playero, Alberto Stylee, Big Boy.
Some of today's most famous reggaeton artists include:
Daddy Yankee, Don Omar, Tego Calderon, Ivy Queen, Calle 13, Eddie Dee, Tito "El Bambino", Hector "El Father", Wisin & Yandel, Zion, Lenox, Nicky Jam, many, many more...

Reggaeton has nothing to do with reggae. If you actually listened to it you would see that it roots from latin hip hop and rap.
Frontean con cojones pero tienen miedo/ No son nadie si no tiran/ Me oyen y se arimillan/ andan friolentos/ mis liricas los cohiban/ tu eres guasa guasa/ tu eres guasa guasa, envuelve maza.
- y para el americano que no lo entienda pa'l carajo, q aprenda a hablar espaΓ±ol!

Reggaeton is the combonation between latin hip-hop and jamaican reggae, and thats where it gets its name from because its sounded more like reggae then hip-hop back then when it first started. After reggaeton became more popular in Panama and Puerto Rico it started to take its own sound and a comonly used base line called "Dembow" took place. After dembow started Reggaeton producers and artist started intergrating different hispanic genres into reggaeton such as Salsa Merrengue bachata ect....Reggae and Reggaeton now sound in no way alike. Reggaeton like in every genre has its mixture of singers and rappers, and the topics that they sing and rap about are like every other genre.
It is now being targeted by every one as vulgar and "trash" because like Rap, Rock, when it first started, is the hot new genre that the younge people listen to and related to.
The only difference between Reggaeton, Hip-Hop, Rock, Salsa and every other genre is the type of rythem and beat it has, Because they all have singers and rappers and some genres even have people who just scream out words that rhyme. Every genre has songs degrating women, every genre has songs about money, sex, drugs, life ect.....
Sex related songs:
Reggaeton: "Noche De Sexo" (Night of Sex) by Wisin y Yandel ft. Aventura
Hip-Hop: "Lollipop" by 50 Cent & Lil Kim
Rock: "Lets put the x in sex" by Kiss
ect......
Derogatory to Women:
Reggaeton: "Guata Gata" by Guatauba ft Plan B
Hip-Hop: "Shake That Ass" by Mystical
Rock: "Brown Sugar" by The Rolling Stones
ect...

A whole genre of music that consists of one single beat, reggaeton is a first of its kind. Reggaeton is probably the only genre of "music" that contains "songs" that can only be distinguished from each other by the lyrics (when they can be understood). "Songs" consist mainly of the universal reggaeton beat, an angry puerto rican yelling about something, and an annoying air horn sound.
Note: This music genre will be short lived, so get as much as you can now. I predict that this fad will end in 4 - 5 months (which is not soon enough).
All of those $9.99 Reggaeton CD's that only people with no taste in music buy.

Most untalented piece of shit music EVER created, It's not even Reggae in the first place! has spread like a virus among many countries in Latin America and some parts of the US also, Not very different from Rap, in fact It's pretty much the same thing : No real instruments, Horny/Retarded lyrics, and some annoying beat on the background.
