I cant figure out the real reason why they are doing this, money or they just like the music. But figure, if RZA does it like hes doing the Indi wu album, it might sell. Put Don Omar and Daddy Yankee, Reageton fans may not know about Wu history, but they sure as hell will buy a album that has Daddy Yankee on it.
Rza isnt trying to do a collaboration album with different artists like with wu/indie or WAR. this is Rza starting a raggaeton label and putting out new raggaeton artists to compete with don omar and daddy yankee.
^^^thats crazy, I dont know then. I guess P.R. Terrorist is gonna get on and do some MAS GASOLINA!!!!!!!!! Naw just bullshitin'
Robert Diggs is a very learned man he looks past race and language, he understands that there are other cultures out there that can express ideas more hardcore and mind-blowing than many can even imagine. Hip-Hop is constantly changing, it is now the Hipanics' turn to take the microphone and tell our story as long as you all are willing to listen, you will find wisdom in that, whether it is through Wu-Tang or not it is going to happen its a freight train...Our responsibility as Hispanic musicians if there are any out there is to save our culure from becoming the mainstream fad it may become, the latin artists getting light out there are clumsy with their microphone and do not understand the potential our culture has to make a great social impact. We must save our culture from becoming exploited, and Wu-Tang can actually do that or at least help out.
Dont worry about my financial status, little nigga, I'm very well paid.Quote:
This is where you're wrong. All El General did was reggae in spanish while reggaeton is reggae,salsa,hiphop & even Puerto Rican bomba & Plena. Ricans invented reggaeton pure & simple & to those asking why RZa's doing this,well, that's why he's paid & you're not
nice speech but it aint that deep man, Rza is just trying to get paid.Quote:

Instead he is working with the likes of R.A., and Sean Price on shit so raw that I dont think anyone except them can truly understand. It IS "that deep" and anyone who cant see that really shouldn't be listening to hip-hop to begin with. Its all about knowledge, wisdom and understanding at least REAL Hip-Hop is.Quote:

what does wu-latino have to do with hiphop? its a reggaeton label thats gonna put out reggaeton artists.
What makes you think 50 gives a fuck about Rza? He can take a beat from a hobo and make it play regularly on MTV. He works with RA cuz thats all he can work with.Quote:

Hispanics are the largest growing minority, be it Puerto Ricans, Mexicans, or whetever. Hip-Hop is the expression of the minorities, think back to the 80's...we are forgetting where hip-hop came from but to understand where it is headed we must not try our hardest to remember. RZA understands this and if he is working with Underground legends and he knows where to find these artists, he will not limit something with so much potential to a mere "Reggaeton Label".Quote:

my point:
wu-tang latino is not gonna be about conscious latino hiphop or hiphop at all. its going to be a reggaeton label with reggaeton artists.Rza isnt in this to uplift the hispanic community, Rza got into this genre to cash in. if you can find a way to get a positive message across while getting Rza paid, so be it.
edit: wu-tang meets in indie culture has NOTHING to do with his wu-latino venture. these things are being done for two different purposes.
Actually, WU was so big down in Puerto Rico that my graduating class painted WU logos on their windshields... And, LOL, Once WU was scheduled to have a concert in San Juan but they didn't make it cuz ODB was lost in Miami or some shit ,LOL... funny shit meng, niggas started rioting & shit...Quote:

And the lesson of the day is "Latin Issues". Do you know who RZA is? Just listen to his music!
he might be a teacher but he isnt gonna be lecturing on wu-latino.Quote:

I Like da grimey stuff & in PR there is alot of grimey real niggas, mofos are so poor out there got nothing to loose so dont think shit is sweet, and its straight raw hiphop for ex: Tego Calderon
they even had a spanish wutang with I found funny but loved it & they had skills so wu has a fan base in PR has a underground hiho curcit I just hoe this is where he finds his artist
Yo naci en Mejico, mi español pudiera estar mejor pero se suficiente para poder entender que los artistas de reggaeton famosos no se estan expresando de la manera mas inteligente. Son idiotas que copean la moda.
Translation: I was born in Mexico, my spanish could be better but I know enough to understand that the Reggaeton artists that are well-known are not expressing themselves in the most itelligent manner. They are idiots who follow trends.
That is the problem, it is a language barrier. This is why many of the people on here dont care about the issues at hand. If you could understand what the fuck people are saying you would all be looking forward to this type of thing. Unfortunately for economic and geographical reasons none of you will be hopping the border to go to Mexico anytime soon. But at least learn spanish to understand a bit more. And you will find that the world is bit bigger and everyone in it has a point of view.
not a lick which is why i dont really care for it. the beats aint shit either.
Figures, Mex and Ricans have always been rivals, and I can understand why you hate reggaeton so much being that PR is so small & yet we created a different genre ( Daddy yankees album hit #1 in mexico,lmao!), while ya mexicans have what? Tex-Mex? I mean, the only Mexican rapper out is Baby Bash<LMAO! Btw, tell all those mexican chicks that love shaking their culos to reggaeton that I said hi ... :WQuote:

They have been using that beat for more than 10 years. That shit is pathetic. Daddy Yankee is trash. I don't know why you are dissing that mexican cuz he doesn't like reggaeton, that has nothing to do with him being mexican cuz i have mexican friends who don't like reggaeton but have heard some PUERTO RICAN hip hop and they love it. In fact, i have a mexican friend who hates reggaeton, but also hates the commercial mexican rap, but he likes REAL Boricua Hip Hop.Quote:

Real puerto rican hip hop artists:
Siete Nueve
Luis Diaz
Tek One
E.A. Flow
A-Gen-T29
Coo-Kee ( he produced beats for tego but those where hip hop beats)
L.I.D.E
and much more..... Puerto Rico has a great hip hop scene!!!!
And it also has a great reggaeton scene, ying & the yang meng.... Lets be 4real, when you're in the club ( if you even been in one) dancing con una trigena, do you want to hear some siete nueve or some zion y lennox? Like I said, reggaeton's for the clubs so don't be comparing it to hiphop ...Quote:

I am not comparing it to hip hop, but the dumbasses here in PR are saying that reggaeton artists are rappers when they are NOT.Quote:

Reggaeton is only good in the club, but you guys listen to it everywhere and don't want to listen to anything else. It's like y'all are brainwashed listening to the same shit 24/7. It's like you are not cool if you don't listen to reggaeton here. Fuck that shit.
ITs repeative, Like when sean paul, elephant man, and nina sky used the same beat. Its lame. Its cool for da club, i like any type of music that makes bitches shake they ass, but I dont respect it. Now MAS GASOLINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I laugh in the faces of all those fools blasting reggaeton in their car and looking hard while listening to Don Omar. What the fuck is that?? You are listening to some pussy music and you want to look hard while doing it?? LMAO
At least back in the day they did that while listening to MC Ceja, Polaco Y Lito, Cavalucci,MC Ceja etc etc. Those where reggaeton artists but they had dope hip hop songs. I considered them Hip Hop artists who made reggaeton.
Ya didn't start it, General was like the spanish Shabba Ranks so ,ummm stfu with that ...Quote:

All i am saying is that 10 years ago people didn't blast many reggaeton songs in their cars to look hard. They bumped rap songs by the artists i mentioned. It was more normal cuz they at least listened to some hardcore rap. Now they only listen to fags like don omar and zion y lennox and they look hard. That is pathetic.
Pathetic because you don't like reggaeton? Anyways, I'm not "2 cool for commercial music", if I like a song I like it..Quote:

I don't think he's wasting his time.
