All I have heard is Gasolina it's fun but I dont think I would buy an entire album of it.

i dont think reggaeton is completed yet
its still in its early stages (experimenting stages)
it has evolved a bit...the first reggeton artist was el general
but his reggeton didnt sound like the one today, it was more reggae (like reggae beats kinda like old bennie man,buju banton, supercat style)

the reason why tego and don omar are good is coz they sound different
and have their own style
daddy yankee is doin well coz hes getting help from nore and fat joe
so hes getting good production
theres alot of reggeton artists but they suck (coz they all sound the same)

reggeton wasnt necessarily invented in puerto rico
puerto rico made it more mainstream
it came from panama

peace

reggeton history

The first Reggae recordings in Latin America were made in Panama in the mid-1970s. A large number of Jamaican immigrants had been brought in during the building of the Panama Canal and they brought with them Reggae music to the local population.

In 1985, rapper Vico C from Puerto Rico produced the first spanish-language Hip hop record. Thus the two main influences of the genre were in place, as well as the two main producing countries.

Reggae production took off seriously in Panama in the early nineties, about the same time Jamaican Ragga imports were becoming all the rage in Puerto Rico. Towards the middle of the decade Puerto Ricans were making their own riddim material, with clear hip-hop influences, and recording what must be considered the first proper Reggaeton tracks.

However, Panama has always held its own production-wise and its own blooming Reggaeton scene was created when the local reggae scene was infused with Puerto Rican influences a couple of years later. Today the music flourishes equally in both countries and has also spread to the rest of Latin America, including Colombia.

I don't consider that shit from Panama reggaeton, it's more like spanish reggae & there's a difference. IMO there's no reggaeton like Puerto Rican Reggaeton.

i don't like that shit at all. some people think because i'm spanish i should like it. but to me it sounds like bad reggae, bad rap & bad spanish music thrown together to make something bad

To bad you don't like it, you probably only listen to that commercial shit OR if not you listen to that garbage ass cuban reggaeton < since you live in Miami ...

the first reggeton artist was el general

yuuuuup....everyone swears that daddy yankee brought that shit...the only thing he did was introduce it to gringos
i think Zion y Lennox are mad good too though...they have their own sound

[Luther Large]

yeah to speak the truth reggaeton is shit

[PHI.1.618]

Reggaeton is >THE< shit .....

It's funny how alot of ppl that don't know spanish criticize reggaeton, that's like me criticizing japanese music ....
