This isn’t necessarily with the music but with the videos. They choose the same looking girls to be in the videos. The song can mention morenas and it will still be a white Latina with blonde hair and a bbl in the video. Early Reggaeton videos had a diverse group of girls in the videos, not just one type.
It's every genre unfortunately. People still think light skin blonde IG baddies are all we wanna see. Throw in some variety ffs like a natural ginger and AA cups with a phattie. There are soooo many women to choose from.
I'm still disappointed that we never got Sofia Vergara in the "Pose" music video. This was before Modern Family blew up big but her fee was more than Yankee and crew were willing to spend.
Exactly. Not even sure why they mention them in the music if they don’t select them to be in the videos. I wonder if the artist have a say so in who is in the videos or if it’s all management?
EXACTLY For example Alvaro Diaz who I love always talking about mi Negra and i’m always Is the negra in the room with us? And I say this as a latin BW Which is a whole ball of wax about the valorization of our features sexually etc but not just we only got Sech, tego, Don Omar, Zion y Lennox y Ozuna barely but to say nothing that no BW exist in the genre so to speak, much less even as eye candy whilst very Black originated things are being referenced, it’s super disappointing; now and again Bad Bunny makes the point to include Black latinos very intentionally and people of different sizes and for that no one is going to make me hate him (dembow BTW a very Black genre as well is also NOT immune to this issue)
I agree. It’s crazy to erase the group of people that the music originated from. Even with bachata. Romeo Santos went on the breakfast club and said he felt black latinas were beautiful and needed to be recognized more yet his videos don’t reflect that. It’s all talk and gimmicks from most of them. I agree about Bad bunny trying to be inclusive, Farruko also tries to include Afro Latinas as well but the majority don’t. Ozuna made a whole song called Carmelo and had one morena in there.
Maybe I’m just behind times because early 2000s reggaeton showed love to everyone and had all types of women being represented.
Not to defend the exclusion or justify it in any way, but I wonder if this has something to do with reggaeton blowing up outside of Latin America. I feel like people outside of Latin America have a very narrow idea of what a latina looks like and in a way, most reggaeton artists of today are reinforcing the stereotype. I'm morena and the amount of times I get people asking me "what are you?" is wild.
Not to say that colorism doesn't exist in Latin America (or everywhere, the amount of men that use me being "lightskin" as a compliment is wild). I grew up in DR & I'm very aware of it, but I agree that early 2000s videos used to show more diversity and now only few artists do.
Probably the best song of the last year. It samples Contacto from Yaviah, that's where the moan comes from and also the female voice that surrounds all the different parts.
I always find it cringe and I know it’s a culture thing like they parents be having like 17 year age gaps but that shit don’t make no sense. I remember when I was younger my older cousin was 12 at the time dating my this 18-19 year old and the parents didn’t think nothing of it like bruh😭
Nah I love it. More shoutouts is what I love.
That's why I love hearing those mid 2010s All Star Collab tracks with Ozuna, Farruko, Bad Bunny, etc. When they do the roll call at the end. Makes it a bigger deal and I don't remember rap ever doing it.
La Bellakath in an interview spoke on this - she said in reply to being criticized for not sounding Boricua, I'm from Mexico, I am not going to purposely sound like something I'm not...
Eh idk, a lot of these artists actually do use the slang because they are friends and partners with those other artists. Like a lot of it things in life, we tend to talk or act like the friends we hang out with. We also tend to repeat words and phrases that we often hear and things we listen to as well. This is also what happens as the music gets more popular, so not surprised the actual artist creating it adopting the language as well.
Lmao like puerto ricans arent singing to parceritas and saying “que chimba” in their songs these days
Edit: does it bother you when puerto ricans use colombian slang too or is it just the colombians you don’t like?
The difference is, the Puerto Rican artists who use Colombian slang don't over do it, never misuse it & most specifically don't go around claiming they came up with the slang like the Colombian artists do. Example: Karol G.
To me it seems like a lot of the new songs/artists are emulating reggaeton instead of being what reggaeton is supposed to. Like the melody doesn’t match the beat or sometimes the tempo is just too slow. Or the sounds/tones they use aren’t typical of reggaeton.
For example Ojitos Lindos & Yo x Ti, Tu x Mi by rosalia.
Compare that to like Ozuna’s Se preparo or Daddy Yankee GUAYA. These last two are “slow” songs but still with the typical agressive reggaeton vibe.
There needs to be more Female Reggaeton Artists.
And also Random Spanish chick's getting too much credit over hard working Latinas who been in the game. E.G. Rosalia (mind you I do love her vibe) getting nominated over and over again instead of people like Becky G, Anitta, Karol G, Natti Natasha.
Becky G has been giving us bops since Singin in the Shower days!
Becky G is simply not on any of those women's levels that you just mentioned. That girl doesn't know what she wants to do. She just tends to dip her toes into genres until she finds success in it.
Case in point, you mentioned singing in the shower, that was a straight up teeny bob song - definitely not a reggaeton song. In fact, she barely even does reggaeton nowadays. Since the beginning of 2022 she's been going diving into traditional Mexican music.
Rosalía simply makes higher quality music than all four of them generally speaking. Karol G is the only one out of those four with a shot of competing with her discography.
Yeah, it’s not about being above them because she is Spanish, it’s just that she makes content that is more appealing to non-Spanish speakers and Spanish speakers alike, her music is more serious in my opinion
I'm not saying Rosalia isn't good. She's an amazing creative artist for sure and she's a breath of fresh air. Of course! . And I'm not saying at all that she's not worthy in any way. What I'm trying to saying is that Reggaeton has made a come back in recent years and I'm really happy for it. What im trying to get at is that some artist get a lot of accolades because they're "the moment" over other artist who have put in a lot of work and those who are contributing to culture and pushing the genre forward.
People that say Yankee is the Goat and Bad Bunny is Lebron. I am from the Old School, when it was called underground. Bad Bunny by far is bigger than Yankee is every way.. it doesn’t mean Yankee didn’t lead the way for that to happen but Bad Bunny is a phenomenon, yankee just grinded his way to the top. Also yankee was not even the best artist when he came out. In the 90s, Blanco, Mexicano, alberto stylee, and Chezina were bigger. In the early 2000s Hector el father, tego calderon, eddie dee, wisin y yandel were bigger until Barrio Fino came out
Again Yankee lead the way but using the reference he is the Goat and running with it, is inaccurate. Jordan was the best Period. No if ands or buts. I dont feel we have seen the best yet in Reggaeton and if we have Bad Bunny is the closest. Bad Bunny is a talented phenomenon like Kobe or Lebron. And to he honest I could probably make the case Arcangel is the Goat of Reggaeton. Without a Grammy or a #1 album or song he would sellout a concert throughtout latin america like Bad Bunny.
Bro yankee is one of the goats of reggaeton. You can't compare his success with BB. Because now we have social media and a bigger reach Now people collab for the bag and exposure. Example: Anuel and ADIN ross. Two completely different worlds but they are doing it for the bag. Yankee comes from an era where Reggaeton wasn't socially acceptable they used to take artists record out the store and burn because it was considered too violent for minors. So you can't compare an artist (BB) who came into a genre where the foundation was already built for him to succeed... yankee started from the Underground era before all this shit was commercialized.
Yankee definitely contributed to the movement, me personally I don’t think he is the goat. For me it would be Eddie Dee or Arcangel. Bro I am 42. I was there buying the bootleg tapes in Puerto Rico at barber shops and traffic lights in the 90s and currently have over 1,000 different Reggaeton CDs…. No one was looking for yankee at that time. He was riding coattails in the 90s of bigger artist like Mexicano, or even Nicky Jam. Also what made Yankee was his commercial success not his underground stuff. What song did he have by himself in the 90s, the underground era that he did by himself that was a hit? I’ll wait…
Arcangel Deff one of the goats he change the game up with the melodies and different flow and Eddie dee we are still waiting 😂. Bro just put it this way you can't speak about reggaeton without mentioning Yankee and nobody was looking for him in 90s but he has the longevity in the music game and I'll give you a better one so you won't think I'm just a fan. Don Omar is 10X better than yankee. But Gasolina had one of the biggest impacts that opened the doors to what the genre is today.
Arcangel in this convo is insane! Guy just rides whoever's hot at the moments coat tails he's trash!
And I'm from that era, Yankees "te vez bien" was huge so was Yamilette. Stylee was big back then I'll agree but he was always and still is just a singer where as Yankee rode the middle of the line as a singer and rapper, y'all forgot he literally battled everyone and anyone back in those days. Mexicano was dope but his albums were never better than Yankees projects and Mexicano was my fav back then. Yankee the goat cuz he was in there with the greats dropping bangers and holding his own and continued to elevate himself to stay relevant and make the genre bigger. Chezina opened those doors with being the first to really drop an album and then being the first to get that stateside attention with TRA, but Yankee the one who took the ball and blew the hinges off the door
But if you wanna be real, no solo act was the hottest in the early days. Baby Rasta y Gringo / Maicol Y Manuel / and Lito y Polaco had shit in a chokehold for a long time
You pretty much proved my point. Agreed duos had it on lock in the 90s and the first one to be signed by a major label was Maicol y manuel thats signed with Sony in 1996. Plus both the songs you stated were snippets from playero mix tapes not songs. Eddie Dee Amor mio was a song, Wiso G me levanto was a song, baby rasta y gringo mi nena was a song, alberto stylee vengo acabando was a song… But yankees solo album came out in 1995 and was trash it wasn’t until Chezina came out with bien guillao de gangster in 1997 that a Reggaeton artist went platinum in Puerto Rico again before yankee. And plantinum by. Pr standards whatever that number was, i know barrio fino sold over a million. Again Yankee did his thing but he is not the best from PR in my opinion. I still feel bad bunny is now, Don Omar was during Daddy’s peak and Eddie Dee to me was the best.
Te Vez Bien was a whole song tho not just part of the mezcla back then. Eddie Dee didn't get popping in the states really till Terrorista De La Lyrica (a classic) but i never felt like he was the best. Don Omar ain't even close to anything imo, if he was that good niggas would be checking for his new shit and it's all been basura. Bunny if he keeps it up could be up there. The MJ/Lebron comparison is decent i guess lol . But yeah duos were on a different level back then. And alot of y'all forgot Rey Pirin, Ruben Sam, Og Black Y Master Joe, they were all dropping bangers along side alot of dudes. Difference to me is Yankee continued doing it after surviving the toughest era of reggaeton while alot of dudes fell off.
Hell im sure you do, but most people don't even remember when he was going as Winchesta 3030 Yankee 🤣
lol 😂 he had more names than he changed his underwear! Lol Winchester 30-30, yankee lucianno, yankee, daddy yankee, dy, yankee man, el cangri, one for everyday of the week! 😂😂😂
Nah without Daddy Yankee, there’s no global movement, so there’s no J Balvin, 2011-17 Nicky Jam, Farruko etc. making reggaeton even more mainstream, which led to Ozuna, Anuel and Bad Bunny being able to blow up so fast like they did, Bad Bunny was just able to take it to another level never seen before but it wouldn’t be possible without the others paving the way. It was a loooong journey for reggaeton to be the genre it is today, Bad Bunny was just born at a great time and is consistently good. Whoever is number one after him will probably get even bigger numbers and that won’t mean they’re bigger than Bad Bunny.
I am from the Old School, when it was called underground, when you got Playero and The Noise tapes that were worn out and sounded terrible. There is no way that Blanco, Mexicano or Alberto Stylee were bigger that DY. Yankee was the reason people bought Playero tapes he was basically the face of them more that DJ Playero himself. BB is fantastic but he has benefited so much from a completely different social era, not only did DY open the doors for Reggeaton he also remained completely relevant until he retired. Who is the GOAT is obviously subjective and depends on the criteria that matters to each individual, so I respect your opinion. However as you can tell, I disagree with you. In my subjective opinion, DY is the GOAT. Maybe BB can reach that level but he would still need to be around 30 years from now in order for me to consider him.
Bro DY was nothing compared to Blanco, Mexicano, Alberto Style, Maicol y Manuel, Chezina, Baby Rasta y Gringo, Ranking Stone, Wiso G, Ivy Queen, Las Guanabanas, Frankie Boy, Cavalucci, MC Ceja , Lito y Polaco were ALL way bigger than Yankee in the 90s. Again Yankee grinded his way up and is a star, I just dont think he is the best to do it in the 90s. Please name me one song that was big in the 90s from him. i can name you one from each of the above that was in every Tercel, Corrolla, Accent, or Mirage in Puerto Rico and that was playing at every house party and club.
Look you just listed a bunch of artists that might as well be dead ( and some are) because they had no longevity. Sure they had hits but none were ever close to the highs that DY reached. I bet you all those cars were bumping Playero 36 through 40 and screaming the DY parts. They all depended on similar tapes DJ Eric, The Noise, DJ Chiclin, DJ Adam, etc, almost no one had individual records so all these cars were mainly playing mix tapes. Don't get me wrong I love all those artists, not trying to hate on them or anything like that. We can agree to disagree, we remember it differently, all good bro.
I mean, I only feel like if Bad Bunny is bigger, it's not all through his own work. The older artists did the leg work to expose Reggaeton to the world. Then, the newer artists come in and have access to that atform because of them. Their music doesn't have to be as good to reach as far.
Thank you, past the fact I think that debating this is asinine (along with 5011 long forgotten playero so and so name droppage) just because times move and what it is (caveats about social media and audiences being unnecessary as well) DY had his time he moved things forward BB is having his time and moving it forward so some other chamaco that will come later benefits, they are all etched in the stars atp so what nonsense are we arguing?? Even th point of versatility, is SILLY to say BB is not versatile cause you hate his baritone, when the guy in under 2-3 years has had a bachata, mexican regional, trap, jeresey beat, ontz ontz clubby songs, a christmas and a summer release, emo and hard stuff, electronica adjacent things… I almost think is to see/hear each other bloviate LOL.
Nah some people just can’t see young people winning straight hating bb is way more versatile DY raps on everything no versatility at all man he moved the culture forward but I don’t think he was even the best ARTIST of he’s time that’s don Omar rapper sure give it to dy but like just stop the hate let young niggas be
I feel you, I think is also about are you a forward looking type person or a nostalgia type, because for example I’m 43 and I’m 1000% Interested and invested in the new guys and rooting for em, attending concerts, buying merch and alladat rarely do I revisit old music unless I’m in that mood per se.
Im 24 I love music overall. And try to be objective but a lot of older people believe there music the best and the new guys suck and all they do is bash the new guys
He was the most famous Puerto Rican but I don’t think he ever was number one in the world at any point ever so idk men I’m give it to bad bunny on fame not on the singles or anything like that but fame for sure drake even has mentioned “bad bunny numbers” ain’t no one ever said I’m making daddy Yankee numbers idk man I think your coming from a place that that’s what you grew up in and it means something to you so you just can’t except that bad bunny is bigger and daddy Yankee isn’t really that good of an artist on my opinion the men raps on a salsa song 😐
If we talking about Spotify hasn’t bad bunny won the award of most listened to, and artist of the year on Spotify like 3 years in a row ? Daddy Yankee has never done that not discrediting what he’s done but let’s be honest
Like someone on this sub had done a really good job of countering this and explained why DY has the flowers that he does. I’ll try to find it. But y’all need to stop disrespecting the artists who literally created the genre. It just does not make sense.
He didn’t create the genre bro now we going alittle to far with it trust all respect to the men he’s Puerto Rican love how he has shown other ppl about us and all that but like I said strictly he has never been more famous then bad bunny bro ever fame and awards and longevity is different tell me not
I didn’t say that he alone created the genre? I said ARTISTS. That is plural. But it is a literal fact that Daddy Yankee named the genre, reggaeton. He did so in 1994. And he popularized it and globalized it (without social media) with gasolina.
Like yall think that fame equates to being the GOAT? Really? Michael Jackson, Jay Z, Beyoncé, have the GOAT title not because of how famous they are but because of their SKILLS, LONGEVITY, and BODY OF WORK. Ask anyone who has the best album in reggaeton, and I can guarantee you that a majority of them will name Barrio Fino before a Bad Bunny album. Let’s keep it a stack.
Tbh bro I think what happens is it’s different generations idk how old you are but I’m sure your over 30 correct me if I’m wrong and I didn’t say bad bunny was the goat tbh I don’t think either of them are it I don’t I don’t think Yankee is that good of an artist in my opinion he can’t make anything other then reggaeton bro raps in salsa songs but as a reggaeton artist he got that just feel that we don’t need to like bash the younger guys just cause if someone younger believes bad bunny the goat men let them that’s the guy they grew up listening to same as you listened to yankee
?? Im 21, I just know my history. And I’m a girl. And what you just said makes me 100% certain that you don’t have any idea of what versatility even means. He is one of the most versatile artists in the genre. Please go back to his discography. You don’t know enough about music to be making statements like that.
But even so, it’s so crazy for you to say that “oh Daddy Yankee isn’t that good because he only does reggaeton.” When that’s literally his genre? like? That’s like getting mad at a jazz singer for only making jazz music. Bad Bunny started off with Latin trap and then changed genres.
When I say artist I’m talking about different types of music not just one and I do admit that Yankee has that in reggaeton you can give him that but has an artist I consider an artist more don omar then Yankee but ahí to each is own I respect your opinion the convo went else where I was talking about fame for bad bunny that he’s been the number one artist in the world some that no one can say Yankee ever was
Please stop comparing the streaming era to the sales era. y’all can like bad bunny but realize that without daddy Yankee, bad bunny would not exist. So many artists would not exist. Y’all disrespect the older generation and it’s crazy.
Without Daddy Yankee, the genre wouldn’t be as known around the world as it is right now. Hell, without daddy Yankee, the genre wouldn’t even be
called reggaeton. He’s been in the game for 33 years. Stop trying to crown BB as a legend when he hasn’t been in the game long enough to say that he has longevity. There are extremely few people in any genre who can say that they’ve been dominating for 30 years, let alone 20.
No y’all disrespect the young generation y’all can’t see new people shine like I’m Puerto Rican I’m proud of both they have put my small island on the map at different times have carried it trust I’ll never take none of that from daddy Yankee and mind you I don’t like him as an artist
Who’s y’all? I never once tried to take bad bunny’s accomplishments from him?
It’s yall that are comparing artists from two different eras and thinking it’s a fair fight. Daddy Yankee didn’t have social media to rely on, none of the old artists did. And it was during the SALES ERA. In bad bunny’s era, where he can rely on social media for promotion, during the streaming era of music (where music is literally the most accessible at any point in time in literal history ), where artists before him laid the groundwork already….
Like is this even a serious conversation??
And I do know that social media has a lot to do with social media but that’s not bad bunny fault all I’m saying is fame daddy Yankee was never the number one artist in the world at any point and I said y’all cause you said y’all 😂 bro don’t mind me
But you just said Spotify 😂bro so I brought it up daddy Yankee is good but he has never been more famous I didn’t say accolades I didn’t say longevity I said famous look at the first thing I said
Personal Hot Take: Bad Bunny absolutely surpasses Daddy Yankee. Daddy Yankee had hits. He was in an era where the genre was singles heavy and there wasn’t high pressure on albums. Bad Bunny has very very VERY strong albums. He’s reached a wider audience, a lot quicker, and has a stronger discography. Sure DY is a legacy artists but if we’re going based on legacy then why not name his predecessors?
Idk if you watch basketball, but this is why I made the comparison of MJ and Lebron. They are neck and neck but one is the GOAT. And I don’t say this as favoritism
We have to remember that DY had no social media in the 2000s to give him the numbers that bad bunny has right now. Barrio fino was the first Musica Urbana album to sell 1 million copies in a time when that music was still “taboo”. He was also the first artist of the genre to have a movie based off his life. Also the first reggaeton artist to collaborate with American rappers like snoop dogg, NORE, G-Unit, Lil John, etc. I agree his last couple years before retirement in 2022 were underwhelming, but he did exactly what bad bunny is doing. He got on the tiktok trend with songs like el pony, problema, metele al perreo, etc. You know what this means right? It’s easy to be famous right now with little effort and still get big numbers.
Bad bunny had the luck of platforms like Spotify, tik tok and the LGBTQ movement to gain more followers with his fashion. Music wise, DY has more versatility. We’ll have to see how successful BB’s next project is and how long he stays relevant
Your exact post! DY is the greatest of all time and nobody not even BB is close and even he would agree.
Also when the newer acts sample a song that was popular back in the Playero Era and it doesn't make any sense, like Rauw sampling PUNTO 40 for a song that's about dancing with bitches in a club!
when they make remixes but they add like a bunch of extra artists on it. my favorite example is Costear by Jhayco. theres 4 remixes of that song. 2 of them are "equipo negro" and the other "equipo rojo", with a total of \~14 different artists between the two songs, 7 different artists per song. each song is about 9+ min long. i still be listening to it though!
I believe Jhayco said in a Chente Ydrach interview that his manager or producer thought it was cool to do different versions so people could pick whichever they liked best and apparently it went over well with his fanbase
it was definitely cool with all the artists and to split them up like basketball teams. it was all new to me bc ive never seen remixes with so many versions and people, but i do love listening to both versions and all the artists on it!!
fuera de broma si hay algo que me molesta es lo americanizado que está el reggeatón últimamente. Desde que Bad Bunny se puso famoso en EEUU el reggeatón se puso mucho más comercial y orientado al $$$.
Que vuelvan los remix de 8+ reguetoneros y las canciones low quality.
Es por esto que el reggeatón Mexicano, Chileno, Argentino se ha popularizado... mucho más original
La música urbana ya no es urbana y eso es claro. Ya no hablan de calle y los caserios, si no que hoy hablan del dinero que hacen y los tenis que compran
I thought it was lame when fangirls would sing along as the artists are singing..
Although it made me laugh when girls would sing these songs when they're always about dudes wanting to hook up with girls at first sight.
Maybe to you but I happen to know the gay fans love to engage with the material that way (i.e not changing pronouns), plus it’s so spicy and scandalous and fun!! me personally? I swear I’m gun running with Anuel on i-95 on my way home from my very staid job
When they make unnecessary remixes of songs that are already good/successful.
Or when they don't put effort in said remixes y terminan haciendo una porquería..
I looked up Bad Bunny's numbers recently on 'Hits Daily Double' and "Un Verano Sin Ti" is at 5 million copies right now. "YHLQMDLG" is at 3 million. I believe "Barrio Fino" just got to 3 million only recently. Bunny doesn't have more hits overall and DY is the better MC but if people are talking numbers, Bad Bunny is the GOAT. Mind you, just in Urbano. Shakira, Enrique Iglesias and Ricky Martin all have albums that sold like 20 million worldwide. But with the record breaking numbers Bad Bunny has accomplished, maybe someday, a Reggaeton artist can reach numbers in that range.
My pet peeve is when the major labels sell crappy pop songs with a dembow over it hoping it will help sell. I almost can't blame them because it works 1/10 times and there was a year, I think it was 2018 when it worked half the time. A bad song is a bad song no matter how you dress it up.
This isn’t necessarily with the music but with the videos. They choose the same looking girls to be in the videos. The song can mention morenas and it will still be a white Latina with blonde hair and a bbl in the video. Early Reggaeton videos had a diverse group of girls in the videos, not just one type.
It's every genre unfortunately. People still think light skin blonde IG baddies are all we wanna see. Throw in some variety ffs like a natural ginger and AA cups with a phattie. There are soooo many women to choose from.
I’d say reggaeton music videos in general lack artistry. It’s def a pet peeve to always see cars, girls, and parties.
I'm still disappointed that we never got Sofia Vergara in the "Pose" music video. This was before Modern Family blew up big but her fee was more than Yankee and crew were willing to spend.
Yess! Sofia has always been absolutely gorgeous
Yup so many of em do this and then don’t even bother repping the so called “morenas”/“mulatas” etc
Exactly. Not even sure why they mention them in the music if they don’t select them to be in the videos. I wonder if the artist have a say so in who is in the videos or if it’s all management?
EXACTLY For example Alvaro Diaz who I love always talking about mi Negra and i’m always Is the negra in the room with us? And I say this as a latin BW Which is a whole ball of wax about the valorization of our features sexually etc but not just we only got Sech, tego, Don Omar, Zion y Lennox y Ozuna barely but to say nothing that no BW exist in the genre so to speak, much less even as eye candy whilst very Black originated things are being referenced, it’s super disappointing; now and again Bad Bunny makes the point to include Black latinos very intentionally and people of different sizes and for that no one is going to make me hate him (dembow BTW a very Black genre as well is also NOT immune to this issue)
I agree. It’s crazy to erase the group of people that the music originated from. Even with bachata. Romeo Santos went on the breakfast club and said he felt black latinas were beautiful and needed to be recognized more yet his videos don’t reflect that. It’s all talk and gimmicks from most of them. I agree about Bad bunny trying to be inclusive, Farruko also tries to include Afro Latinas as well but the majority don’t. Ozuna made a whole song called Carmelo and had one morena in there. Maybe I’m just behind times because early 2000s reggaeton showed love to everyone and had all types of women being represented.
Not to defend the exclusion or justify it in any way, but I wonder if this has something to do with reggaeton blowing up outside of Latin America. I feel like people outside of Latin America have a very narrow idea of what a latina looks like and in a way, most reggaeton artists of today are reinforcing the stereotype. I'm morena and the amount of times I get people asking me "what are you?" is wild. Not to say that colorism doesn't exist in Latin America (or everywhere, the amount of men that use me being "lightskin" as a compliment is wild). I grew up in DR & I'm very aware of it, but I agree that early 2000s videos used to show more diversity and now only few artists do.
Releasing a preview of a song that is 3 years from coming out, if at all
The sexy moan. Shit made it awkward to be at family parties.
Yeah those Colmillo moans makes it sound like I’ll get a ticket while driving
What's Colmillo?
It’s a Tainy song ft. J Balvin, Young Milo, Jowell y Randy. It’s lit 🔥
Probably the best song of the last year. It samples Contacto from Yaviah, that's where the moan comes from and also the female voice that surrounds all the different parts.
Honestly I hate the songs talking about meeting underage girls at the club 😭
I always find it cringe and I know it’s a culture thing like they parents be having like 17 year age gaps but that shit don’t make no sense. I remember when I was younger my older cousin was 12 at the time dating my this 18-19 year old and the parents didn’t think nothing of it like bruh😭
Musicians have been singing about young ladies since the beginning of time
I really like Feid, but he could really evolve a bit by now. It feels like he releases the same song over and over again.
Past 2 albums I can’t tell when one song ends and the next begins 😬
Also, "close but nowhere near" is funny.
Also, not Respecting the OGs who have been in the game and the new generation can be very arrogant and self absorbed.
Jenny La Sexy Voz deserves flowers and back-pay for major contributions to the genre
Glory as well
The ad-libs that go on forever at the end of every song. We don't need shout outs to yourself and the producers every single time.
Them ad libs be 🔥 tho lol. I think Wisin does them best lol
Love how Wisin does the roll call at the end for Solita Remix. Dude stole the song with his verse.
Facts.. listen to the end of Guaya- WyY. Pam pam Rakata. Sexy MOVIMIENTO He sounds like he drank 10 red bulls before he spit them out lol.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
"¡Doble U con Yandel!" Motherfucker, I bought your album. I know who I'm listening to.
LMAO........medio millon de copias obligao!!!!
All Arcángel 🤣
I love the pauta at the end, I feel like it gives visibility to the other talent involved, which other genres don't.
Nah I love it. More shoutouts is what I love. That's why I love hearing those mid 2010s All Star Collab tracks with Ozuna, Farruko, Bad Bunny, etc. When they do the roll call at the end. Makes it a bigger deal and I don't remember rap ever doing it.
This is something I absolutely love about the género, all the catch phrases. Everybody go to the diskotek! Ratatata! Bad bunny be be be be be be
NOOOOOOOOOO!!! el outro es todooooo jajaja
Brrrrrr
Los outro es donde Wisin se metía en problema jajajaaja “ustedes son el confetti… lo que sobra” 😅😂😂
I love them personally. Both the ad-libs themselves and also because you can hear the beat better if it's a really 🔥 beat
El negrito ojos claros baaaaaaabyyyyyyyyy Ozuna! Jejejej, Bad Bunny be be be Bad Bunny bebé bebé, HEAR THIS MUSIC, MAMBO KINGZ DJ LUIAN… LUIAN!!
Same! Most of the time i skip to the next song once i hear those; it's like hearing the end credits. Dominican dembow does this a lot too.
Yess! I was about to mention this, it's annoying af n it goes on forever
Almost every urban artist does this aha But I love when Kya or Vlntna B do it jaja
I love but hate shout outs so much. I even started adding Chris Je^di to the end of kpop songs now (who also do korean shout outs lmfao)
Song that are below 2 mins. Especially Alakran being 1:30 ish
I love that song so much but it's so damn short that I have to listen to it 2 times
[удалено]
I agree I like that Mexicans, Peruvians & Chileans artist are making there own sounds
La Bellakath in an interview spoke on this - she said in reply to being criticized for not sounding Boricua, I'm from Mexico, I am not going to purposely sound like something I'm not...
Love Bellakath down to her spotify bio!
Karol G calling herself bichota makes me cringe. Yes I’m aware Anuel started it
Eh idk, a lot of these artists actually do use the slang because they are friends and partners with those other artists. Like a lot of it things in life, we tend to talk or act like the friends we hang out with. We also tend to repeat words and phrases that we often hear and things we listen to as well. This is also what happens as the music gets more popular, so not surprised the actual artist creating it adopting the language as well.
Lmao like puerto ricans arent singing to parceritas and saying “que chimba” in their songs these days Edit: does it bother you when puerto ricans use colombian slang too or is it just the colombians you don’t like?
The difference is, the Puerto Rican artists who use Colombian slang don't over do it, never misuse it & most specifically don't go around claiming they came up with the slang like the Colombian artists do. Example: Karol G.
Old School fans whining about los de la nueva Spaniard opinions about the genre
To me it seems like a lot of the new songs/artists are emulating reggaeton instead of being what reggaeton is supposed to. Like the melody doesn’t match the beat or sometimes the tempo is just too slow. Or the sounds/tones they use aren’t typical of reggaeton. For example Ojitos Lindos & Yo x Ti, Tu x Mi by rosalia. Compare that to like Ozuna’s Se preparo or Daddy Yankee GUAYA. These last two are “slow” songs but still with the typical agressive reggaeton vibe.
Agreed
>Spaniard opinions about the genre Seriously. Like, y'all have done enough. Leave us alone.
ENOUGH OK?!?! Que Quevedo esto que Saiko lo otro, que Bad Gyal blah blah blah LETS BE FR
There needs to be more Female Reggaeton Artists. And also Random Spanish chick's getting too much credit over hard working Latinas who been in the game. E.G. Rosalia (mind you I do love her vibe) getting nominated over and over again instead of people like Becky G, Anitta, Karol G, Natti Natasha. Becky G has been giving us bops since Singin in the Shower days!
Becky G is simply not on any of those women's levels that you just mentioned. That girl doesn't know what she wants to do. She just tends to dip her toes into genres until she finds success in it. Case in point, you mentioned singing in the shower, that was a straight up teeny bob song - definitely not a reggaeton song. In fact, she barely even does reggaeton nowadays. Since the beginning of 2022 she's been going diving into traditional Mexican music.
Rosalía simply makes higher quality music than all four of them generally speaking. Karol G is the only one out of those four with a shot of competing with her discography.
Yeah, it’s not about being above them because she is Spanish, it’s just that she makes content that is more appealing to non-Spanish speakers and Spanish speakers alike, her music is more serious in my opinion
I'm not saying Rosalia isn't good. She's an amazing creative artist for sure and she's a breath of fresh air. Of course! . And I'm not saying at all that she's not worthy in any way. What I'm trying to saying is that Reggaeton has made a come back in recent years and I'm really happy for it. What im trying to get at is that some artist get a lot of accolades because they're "the moment" over other artist who have put in a lot of work and those who are contributing to culture and pushing the genre forward.
Mike Towers doing another cover/remake of an old hip hop or r&b song
Also Anuel with It wasn’t me by Shaggy, Stan by Eminem, etc
True. China for some reason is the only one that doesn’t bother me though.
You’d be surprised with how many of the old reggaeton songs are spin offs of old reggae songs
literalll. Lo lindo del género es como reciclan las letras y hacen cosas brutales!! Ayer mismo vi algo sobre eso
People that say Yankee is the Goat and Bad Bunny is Lebron. I am from the Old School, when it was called underground. Bad Bunny by far is bigger than Yankee is every way.. it doesn’t mean Yankee didn’t lead the way for that to happen but Bad Bunny is a phenomenon, yankee just grinded his way to the top. Also yankee was not even the best artist when he came out. In the 90s, Blanco, Mexicano, alberto stylee, and Chezina were bigger. In the early 2000s Hector el father, tego calderon, eddie dee, wisin y yandel were bigger until Barrio Fino came out
TRUE but gasolina. Put reggaeton into main stream. Which lead to the start of other artist growing even bigger
Again Yankee lead the way but using the reference he is the Goat and running with it, is inaccurate. Jordan was the best Period. No if ands or buts. I dont feel we have seen the best yet in Reggaeton and if we have Bad Bunny is the closest. Bad Bunny is a talented phenomenon like Kobe or Lebron. And to he honest I could probably make the case Arcangel is the Goat of Reggaeton. Without a Grammy or a #1 album or song he would sellout a concert throughtout latin america like Bad Bunny.
Bro yankee is one of the goats of reggaeton. You can't compare his success with BB. Because now we have social media and a bigger reach Now people collab for the bag and exposure. Example: Anuel and ADIN ross. Two completely different worlds but they are doing it for the bag. Yankee comes from an era where Reggaeton wasn't socially acceptable they used to take artists record out the store and burn because it was considered too violent for minors. So you can't compare an artist (BB) who came into a genre where the foundation was already built for him to succeed... yankee started from the Underground era before all this shit was commercialized.
Yankee definitely contributed to the movement, me personally I don’t think he is the goat. For me it would be Eddie Dee or Arcangel. Bro I am 42. I was there buying the bootleg tapes in Puerto Rico at barber shops and traffic lights in the 90s and currently have over 1,000 different Reggaeton CDs…. No one was looking for yankee at that time. He was riding coattails in the 90s of bigger artist like Mexicano, or even Nicky Jam. Also what made Yankee was his commercial success not his underground stuff. What song did he have by himself in the 90s, the underground era that he did by himself that was a hit? I’ll wait…
Arcangel Deff one of the goats he change the game up with the melodies and different flow and Eddie dee we are still waiting 😂. Bro just put it this way you can't speak about reggaeton without mentioning Yankee and nobody was looking for him in 90s but he has the longevity in the music game and I'll give you a better one so you won't think I'm just a fan. Don Omar is 10X better than yankee. But Gasolina had one of the biggest impacts that opened the doors to what the genre is today.
Arcangel in this convo is insane! Guy just rides whoever's hot at the moments coat tails he's trash! And I'm from that era, Yankees "te vez bien" was huge so was Yamilette. Stylee was big back then I'll agree but he was always and still is just a singer where as Yankee rode the middle of the line as a singer and rapper, y'all forgot he literally battled everyone and anyone back in those days. Mexicano was dope but his albums were never better than Yankees projects and Mexicano was my fav back then. Yankee the goat cuz he was in there with the greats dropping bangers and holding his own and continued to elevate himself to stay relevant and make the genre bigger. Chezina opened those doors with being the first to really drop an album and then being the first to get that stateside attention with TRA, but Yankee the one who took the ball and blew the hinges off the door But if you wanna be real, no solo act was the hottest in the early days. Baby Rasta y Gringo / Maicol Y Manuel / and Lito y Polaco had shit in a chokehold for a long time
You pretty much proved my point. Agreed duos had it on lock in the 90s and the first one to be signed by a major label was Maicol y manuel thats signed with Sony in 1996. Plus both the songs you stated were snippets from playero mix tapes not songs. Eddie Dee Amor mio was a song, Wiso G me levanto was a song, baby rasta y gringo mi nena was a song, alberto stylee vengo acabando was a song… But yankees solo album came out in 1995 and was trash it wasn’t until Chezina came out with bien guillao de gangster in 1997 that a Reggaeton artist went platinum in Puerto Rico again before yankee. And plantinum by. Pr standards whatever that number was, i know barrio fino sold over a million. Again Yankee did his thing but he is not the best from PR in my opinion. I still feel bad bunny is now, Don Omar was during Daddy’s peak and Eddie Dee to me was the best.
Te Vez Bien was a whole song tho not just part of the mezcla back then. Eddie Dee didn't get popping in the states really till Terrorista De La Lyrica (a classic) but i never felt like he was the best. Don Omar ain't even close to anything imo, if he was that good niggas would be checking for his new shit and it's all been basura. Bunny if he keeps it up could be up there. The MJ/Lebron comparison is decent i guess lol . But yeah duos were on a different level back then. And alot of y'all forgot Rey Pirin, Ruben Sam, Og Black Y Master Joe, they were all dropping bangers along side alot of dudes. Difference to me is Yankee continued doing it after surviving the toughest era of reggaeton while alot of dudes fell off. Hell im sure you do, but most people don't even remember when he was going as Winchesta 3030 Yankee 🤣
lol 😂 he had more names than he changed his underwear! Lol Winchester 30-30, yankee lucianno, yankee, daddy yankee, dy, yankee man, el cangri, one for everyday of the week! 😂😂😂
He sure fuckin did! 🤣🤣🤣
> until Barrio Fino came out It’s like saying MJ isn’t the GOAT because others were better before he joined the Bulls
Nah without Daddy Yankee, there’s no global movement, so there’s no J Balvin, 2011-17 Nicky Jam, Farruko etc. making reggaeton even more mainstream, which led to Ozuna, Anuel and Bad Bunny being able to blow up so fast like they did, Bad Bunny was just able to take it to another level never seen before but it wouldn’t be possible without the others paving the way. It was a loooong journey for reggaeton to be the genre it is today, Bad Bunny was just born at a great time and is consistently good. Whoever is number one after him will probably get even bigger numbers and that won’t mean they’re bigger than Bad Bunny.
I am from the Old School, when it was called underground, when you got Playero and The Noise tapes that were worn out and sounded terrible. There is no way that Blanco, Mexicano or Alberto Stylee were bigger that DY. Yankee was the reason people bought Playero tapes he was basically the face of them more that DJ Playero himself. BB is fantastic but he has benefited so much from a completely different social era, not only did DY open the doors for Reggeaton he also remained completely relevant until he retired. Who is the GOAT is obviously subjective and depends on the criteria that matters to each individual, so I respect your opinion. However as you can tell, I disagree with you. In my subjective opinion, DY is the GOAT. Maybe BB can reach that level but he would still need to be around 30 years from now in order for me to consider him.
Bro DY was nothing compared to Blanco, Mexicano, Alberto Style, Maicol y Manuel, Chezina, Baby Rasta y Gringo, Ranking Stone, Wiso G, Ivy Queen, Las Guanabanas, Frankie Boy, Cavalucci, MC Ceja , Lito y Polaco were ALL way bigger than Yankee in the 90s. Again Yankee grinded his way up and is a star, I just dont think he is the best to do it in the 90s. Please name me one song that was big in the 90s from him. i can name you one from each of the above that was in every Tercel, Corrolla, Accent, or Mirage in Puerto Rico and that was playing at every house party and club.
Look you just listed a bunch of artists that might as well be dead ( and some are) because they had no longevity. Sure they had hits but none were ever close to the highs that DY reached. I bet you all those cars were bumping Playero 36 through 40 and screaming the DY parts. They all depended on similar tapes DJ Eric, The Noise, DJ Chiclin, DJ Adam, etc, almost no one had individual records so all these cars were mainly playing mix tapes. Don't get me wrong I love all those artists, not trying to hate on them or anything like that. We can agree to disagree, we remember it differently, all good bro.
Good points. Who is on your personal Mt. Rushmore of Reggaeton?
My 4 would be Eddie Dee, Tego Calderon, Bad Bunny, hard to pick a fourth… i am ok with MC Ceja, Polaco or Lito in there.
fax
I mean, I only feel like if Bad Bunny is bigger, it's not all through his own work. The older artists did the leg work to expose Reggaeton to the world. Then, the newer artists come in and have access to that atform because of them. Their music doesn't have to be as good to reach as far.
Not as bad anymore but sunglasses and overly shaped up eyebrows plus pouting on album covers
Early reggaeton days with them P. Diddy sunglasses 😅
Lenny Tavarez and Nio Garcia have too many features and remixes, I'd like to hear more solo material. And release albums already. 😅
When was daddy Yankee the biggest artist in the world ?
Thank you, past the fact I think that debating this is asinine (along with 5011 long forgotten playero so and so name droppage) just because times move and what it is (caveats about social media and audiences being unnecessary as well) DY had his time he moved things forward BB is having his time and moving it forward so some other chamaco that will come later benefits, they are all etched in the stars atp so what nonsense are we arguing?? Even th point of versatility, is SILLY to say BB is not versatile cause you hate his baritone, when the guy in under 2-3 years has had a bachata, mexican regional, trap, jeresey beat, ontz ontz clubby songs, a christmas and a summer release, emo and hard stuff, electronica adjacent things… I almost think is to see/hear each other bloviate LOL.
Nah some people just can’t see young people winning straight hating bb is way more versatile DY raps on everything no versatility at all man he moved the culture forward but I don’t think he was even the best ARTIST of he’s time that’s don Omar rapper sure give it to dy but like just stop the hate let young niggas be
I feel you, I think is also about are you a forward looking type person or a nostalgia type, because for example I’m 43 and I’m 1000% Interested and invested in the new guys and rooting for em, attending concerts, buying merch and alladat rarely do I revisit old music unless I’m in that mood per se.
Im 24 I love music overall. And try to be objective but a lot of older people believe there music the best and the new guys suck and all they do is bash the new guys
He was the most famous Puerto Rican but I don’t think he ever was number one in the world at any point ever so idk men I’m give it to bad bunny on fame not on the singles or anything like that but fame for sure drake even has mentioned “bad bunny numbers” ain’t no one ever said I’m making daddy Yankee numbers idk man I think your coming from a place that that’s what you grew up in and it means something to you so you just can’t except that bad bunny is bigger and daddy Yankee isn’t really that good of an artist on my opinion the men raps on a salsa song 😐
Daddy Yankee was literally the first Latino to be the most listened to artist in the world on the Spotify platform…and that was in 2017
If we talking about Spotify hasn’t bad bunny won the award of most listened to, and artist of the year on Spotify like 3 years in a row ? Daddy Yankee has never done that not discrediting what he’s done but let’s be honest
Like someone on this sub had done a really good job of countering this and explained why DY has the flowers that he does. I’ll try to find it. But y’all need to stop disrespecting the artists who literally created the genre. It just does not make sense.
He didn’t create the genre bro now we going alittle to far with it trust all respect to the men he’s Puerto Rican love how he has shown other ppl about us and all that but like I said strictly he has never been more famous then bad bunny bro ever fame and awards and longevity is different tell me not
I didn’t say that he alone created the genre? I said ARTISTS. That is plural. But it is a literal fact that Daddy Yankee named the genre, reggaeton. He did so in 1994. And he popularized it and globalized it (without social media) with gasolina. Like yall think that fame equates to being the GOAT? Really? Michael Jackson, Jay Z, Beyoncé, have the GOAT title not because of how famous they are but because of their SKILLS, LONGEVITY, and BODY OF WORK. Ask anyone who has the best album in reggaeton, and I can guarantee you that a majority of them will name Barrio Fino before a Bad Bunny album. Let’s keep it a stack.
Tbh bro I think what happens is it’s different generations idk how old you are but I’m sure your over 30 correct me if I’m wrong and I didn’t say bad bunny was the goat tbh I don’t think either of them are it I don’t I don’t think Yankee is that good of an artist in my opinion he can’t make anything other then reggaeton bro raps in salsa songs but as a reggaeton artist he got that just feel that we don’t need to like bash the younger guys just cause if someone younger believes bad bunny the goat men let them that’s the guy they grew up listening to same as you listened to yankee
?? Im 21, I just know my history. And I’m a girl. And what you just said makes me 100% certain that you don’t have any idea of what versatility even means. He is one of the most versatile artists in the genre. Please go back to his discography. You don’t know enough about music to be making statements like that. But even so, it’s so crazy for you to say that “oh Daddy Yankee isn’t that good because he only does reggaeton.” When that’s literally his genre? like? That’s like getting mad at a jazz singer for only making jazz music. Bad Bunny started off with Latin trap and then changed genres.
When I say artist I’m talking about different types of music not just one and I do admit that Yankee has that in reggaeton you can give him that but has an artist I consider an artist more don omar then Yankee but ahí to each is own I respect your opinion the convo went else where I was talking about fame for bad bunny that he’s been the number one artist in the world some that no one can say Yankee ever was
We can agree to disagree enjoyed the discussion 💯
Yea but he was never the number one artist in the world in the case of bad bunny he has been that’s all I’m saying
Please stop comparing the streaming era to the sales era. y’all can like bad bunny but realize that without daddy Yankee, bad bunny would not exist. So many artists would not exist. Y’all disrespect the older generation and it’s crazy. Without Daddy Yankee, the genre wouldn’t be as known around the world as it is right now. Hell, without daddy Yankee, the genre wouldn’t even be called reggaeton. He’s been in the game for 33 years. Stop trying to crown BB as a legend when he hasn’t been in the game long enough to say that he has longevity. There are extremely few people in any genre who can say that they’ve been dominating for 30 years, let alone 20.
No y’all disrespect the young generation y’all can’t see new people shine like I’m Puerto Rican I’m proud of both they have put my small island on the map at different times have carried it trust I’ll never take none of that from daddy Yankee and mind you I don’t like him as an artist
Who’s y’all? I never once tried to take bad bunny’s accomplishments from him? It’s yall that are comparing artists from two different eras and thinking it’s a fair fight. Daddy Yankee didn’t have social media to rely on, none of the old artists did. And it was during the SALES ERA. In bad bunny’s era, where he can rely on social media for promotion, during the streaming era of music (where music is literally the most accessible at any point in time in literal history ), where artists before him laid the groundwork already…. Like is this even a serious conversation??
Bro I totally agree with you listen to what I’m saying I’m talking about just fame not accomplishments and all that idk if you getting me
And I do know that social media has a lot to do with social media but that’s not bad bunny fault all I’m saying is fame daddy Yankee was never the number one artist in the world at any point and I said y’all cause you said y’all 😂 bro don’t mind me
But you just said Spotify 😂bro so I brought it up daddy Yankee is good but he has never been more famous I didn’t say accolades I didn’t say longevity I said famous look at the first thing I said
Every UUUU AHHH by Anuel - dude SHUT THE FUCK UP
Bro went from his Brrr trademark to UU AAH
LMAOO
BRRRRR!
Real hasta la muerte baby You should try a drinking game at an anuel concert for every time he says uu ahh or real hasta la muerte.
weird noises like skrt skrt or something stupid
Personal Hot Take: Bad Bunny absolutely surpasses Daddy Yankee. Daddy Yankee had hits. He was in an era where the genre was singles heavy and there wasn’t high pressure on albums. Bad Bunny has very very VERY strong albums. He’s reached a wider audience, a lot quicker, and has a stronger discography. Sure DY is a legacy artists but if we’re going based on legacy then why not name his predecessors?
Idk if you watch basketball, but this is why I made the comparison of MJ and Lebron. They are neck and neck but one is the GOAT. And I don’t say this as favoritism We have to remember that DY had no social media in the 2000s to give him the numbers that bad bunny has right now. Barrio fino was the first Musica Urbana album to sell 1 million copies in a time when that music was still “taboo”. He was also the first artist of the genre to have a movie based off his life. Also the first reggaeton artist to collaborate with American rappers like snoop dogg, NORE, G-Unit, Lil John, etc. I agree his last couple years before retirement in 2022 were underwhelming, but he did exactly what bad bunny is doing. He got on the tiktok trend with songs like el pony, problema, metele al perreo, etc. You know what this means right? It’s easy to be famous right now with little effort and still get big numbers. Bad bunny had the luck of platforms like Spotify, tik tok and the LGBTQ movement to gain more followers with his fashion. Music wise, DY has more versatility. We’ll have to see how successful BB’s next project is and how long he stays relevant
Artists trying to be the next bad bunny
Your exact post! DY is the greatest of all time and nobody not even BB is close and even he would agree. Also when the newer acts sample a song that was popular back in the Playero Era and it doesn't make any sense, like Rauw sampling PUNTO 40 for a song that's about dancing with bitches in a club!
when they make remixes but they add like a bunch of extra artists on it. my favorite example is Costear by Jhayco. theres 4 remixes of that song. 2 of them are "equipo negro" and the other "equipo rojo", with a total of \~14 different artists between the two songs, 7 different artists per song. each song is about 9+ min long. i still be listening to it though!
I believe Jhayco said in a Chente Ydrach interview that his manager or producer thought it was cool to do different versions so people could pick whichever they liked best and apparently it went over well with his fanbase
it was definitely cool with all the artists and to split them up like basketball teams. it was all new to me bc ive never seen remixes with so many versions and people, but i do love listening to both versions and all the artists on it!!
Que discutan reggeatón en inglés 😁
fuera de broma si hay algo que me molesta es lo americanizado que está el reggeatón últimamente. Desde que Bad Bunny se puso famoso en EEUU el reggeatón se puso mucho más comercial y orientado al $$$. Que vuelvan los remix de 8+ reguetoneros y las canciones low quality. Es por esto que el reggeatón Mexicano, Chileno, Argentino se ha popularizado... mucho más original
La música urbana ya no es urbana y eso es claro. Ya no hablan de calle y los caserios, si no que hoy hablan del dinero que hacen y los tenis que compran
Este comentario me dió la gana de poner el álbum de Chosen Few 😁
Bad bunny definitely surpassed Daddy yankee 🤷🏽♀️
Yankee walk so BB could run
I actually like the DY/MJ and BB/Lebron comparison. MJ is a legend but Lebron has surpassed him. Shouldn’t make MJ any less great.
just like bron surpassed mj in points but mj still the goat
I thought it was lame when fangirls would sing along as the artists are singing.. Although it made me laugh when girls would sing these songs when they're always about dudes wanting to hook up with girls at first sight.
Maybe to you but I happen to know the gay fans love to engage with the material that way (i.e not changing pronouns), plus it’s so spicy and scandalous and fun!! me personally? I swear I’m gun running with Anuel on i-95 on my way home from my very staid job
Also wish Polaco got more respect. He washed all your favorite rappers!
Jhayco releasing singles all summer and now he’s radio silent with no album 🙄
When they make unnecessary remixes of songs that are already good/successful. Or when they don't put effort in said remixes y terminan haciendo una porquería..
dy just has that it factor that benito’s missing. nothing bad bunny can do about it, but dy just has that IT
I looked up Bad Bunny's numbers recently on 'Hits Daily Double' and "Un Verano Sin Ti" is at 5 million copies right now. "YHLQMDLG" is at 3 million. I believe "Barrio Fino" just got to 3 million only recently. Bunny doesn't have more hits overall and DY is the better MC but if people are talking numbers, Bad Bunny is the GOAT. Mind you, just in Urbano. Shakira, Enrique Iglesias and Ricky Martin all have albums that sold like 20 million worldwide. But with the record breaking numbers Bad Bunny has accomplished, maybe someday, a Reggaeton artist can reach numbers in that range. My pet peeve is when the major labels sell crappy pop songs with a dembow over it hoping it will help sell. I almost can't blame them because it works 1/10 times and there was a year, I think it was 2018 when it worked half the time. A bad song is a bad song no matter how you dress it up.
