ohhhh....

i like reggaeton~

Militant said:

EEEEyyy Cuidado theres not such thing as "hispanic culture". And reggeaton is closer to hip-hop than to any specific "hispanic" musical tradition

Militant said:

the only difference is the language barrier.....Reggaeton artists yell and scream and so do dancehall artists....let's not make it a race thing because there is some crappy music from both genres...Spanish Reggae is not something that just happened either. It goes as far back as the late 80's and early 90's with Panamanian & Puerto Rican artists El General,Nando Boom,Marcony,La Atrevida,Lisa M.,and Arzu.

I prefer listening to Roots Reggae music like Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, Lee Perry, Jimmy Cliff, Burning Spear, Dennis Brown, Gregory Isaacs,etc.

Reggaeton is garbage! Give me Bob Marley, Barrington Levy, Garnett Silk or Beenie Man anyday!

The fucking shit is tuneless swill. Beats, but with no heart or groove--who wants that? Sure, hispanics need good music, but better that they do real music, not this shit. I'd suggest tropicalia.
