what do you think about reggaeton music?
363343
I am a 33 yr old mother with 3 teenage daughters. At first I was sick of hearing it all the time. It all sounded the same to me but as I really began to listen to it there is some of it that I really like. I listen to a wide variety of music and I love merengue(tipico) and otherwise, bachata, salsa (of course I am cubana) I love old school rap, r&b, blues etc so I listen to all kinds. I know that when I was a kid my parents were not to happy to here my rap music blaring all the time from NWA and Erik B & Rakim to Curtis Blow and Slick Rick etc. I could stand for alot less cussing in the lyrics but it grows on you and I guess you could say that I am a fan of (certain) reggaeton artists and when the kids are'nt around I blare it and dance my A@$ off (ha-ha) So I say to the reegaeton generation DO YOU!! and keep up the good work!!! PS I think that DOn Omar is FINE!!!!!!! To bad I am old enough to be his mother (ha-ha) and the fact that I am married to a hard headed Dominicano kind of ends that fantasy for me (ha-ha) But my husband is a hottie to no complaints from me!!!

I don't paricularly like either one. however, if I've got to pick one, I think I would pick Dile.  I'm not a fan of reggaeton simply because I'm a feminist and find most songs to be degrading and demeaning towards women.  I do like Calle 13, however.  \n\nFR

I'm a big fan of Intocable.  Their music is great.  I Love the song "El Amigo Que Se Fue".

Reggaeton will not last owing to the fact that it`s a type of music that is based on fusion i.e it depends on the original raggamuffin style of Chakademus & pliers with a blend of rap.

I think it is just OK! I think it's just a part of the "island" phenomenon. U know people are discovering Dance Hall and Reggaeton: it depends on its original/native population to make it stay. Otherwise it'll fade away.

Reggaeton is a mixture of jamaican music and hip-hop/rap, it talks about sex, money, drugs...it sounds really ko0, you can dance it like hip-hop. and reggee is just boring music, well its more calm. i really recomend you to check out some reggaeton songs, they really ko0.

Haha yeah of course I know who Daddy Yankee is.. I love his music, though most people I know hate it, lol. But I live with it. He's got some good dance music, and I'm sure you can agree  with me there. ;)

Your question is very naive and misguided. It ignores matters such as:\n1. the inherent resilience of national culture;\n2. the transient nature of mass-consumption, popular culture;\n3. the organic, evolving and adaptive nature of all cultures;\n4. the general disinterest of foreign tourists in a country's culture.\n\nWhilst tourist operations will adapt to their customers' needs, that hardly indicates a threat to the whole nation's culture. In Spanish tourist areas, popular with Britons, you'll see "English pubs", fish and chip shops and hamburger joints. Yet local culture is alive and well, even in Ibiza. If anything, a challenge is laid down, to those involved in cultural manifestations, to become more active and expand local participation.\n\nCulture is particularly exemplified in music. Over the years, and around the world, national music forms have been challenged by popular western musical trends e.g. twist, soul, disco, punk. Indeed some local music has incorporated elements of these other musical forms, as part of the craze. This is happening today with hip-hop; in Ghana, for example its typical highlife music has been adapted by some musicians to make "hip-life". However, all this is ephemeral, and the traditional styles continue.\n\nNo culture stays the same; it changes. Any culture that stagnates will die. Look at the country of your concern - Jamaica. See how music has developed: mento →Jamaican rhythm & blues →ska → rocksteady →reggae → dub → ragga/dancehall. Prior to 1930 Rastafarianism did not exist. Culture does not stand still.\n\nMost tourists have no interest in local culture. They go in search of sun, sand, sex and sangria. Basically they want their own local beach, but with sunshine and palm trees. In general they do not bother to learn a language, and their excursions are limited to the hotel complex and the nearby beach. Your whole argument is based on the premise that all tourists go to Jamaica to eat saltfish & ackee and talk in patois; whereas all Jamaicans are switching to cooking hamburgers and speaking ebonics. This is far from the truth in both respects. Any adaptations made in response to tourists' demands, and in tourist areas, can not be applied to the entire country, as an indication of cultural collapse. \n\nPlease take a step back and see the full picture.

what kinda music you like??

I enjoy'em, as they're original and have a sound all their own.  Something direly needed, and long forgotten, in the Rock world these days.\n\nLyricaly, they're stellar, as they make you think...and most of their tunes are catchy as hell.
