Come to one of our parties and I GUARANTEE that you'll be loving every fucking second reggaeton is on the stereo. Nobody's claiming this is good or important music, but shit rocks a party like nothing else on the planet.

 

But then again, some of you folks wear girl pants.

[WetPussy]

tego calderon and his predecessor eddie dee are both real talented rappers and say some real good shit and also do the party thing. hector y tito are good too, even though tito sounds like a dying cat, hes got skills and marketability powers like a mothafucka. don omar is more sala type influenced reggaeton, but he held it down last year all over. winchesta is daddy yankees old name. playero, the noise, point breakers, dj adam, dj stefano, dj goldy, flow, guanabanas, gargolas, maicol y manuel, alberto style, og black, lito y polaco, cabalucci, chezina,falo, rey pirin, baby rasta y gringo, bebe, blanco, dj negro, monata, nico canada, temo, mexicano, manolo guatauba, eric el maleante vico c, nicky jam, pany, horny man y panty man, franky boy, the cream, la industria, glory, ivy queen, la beba, and about 10000 other rappers that began reggaeton back in carolina, puerto rico, the undisputed city of the birth and rise and still the official city to prove yourself in this genre, well these are just a few names of the ones that started it all, and the ones that can never be topped no matter what the fuck come out.

 

it all began around 1990, in carolina, puerto rico. house parties were being done by a dj called playero and some other djs like dj eric and dj stefano and dj chiclin, they dropped real underground tapes, tapes, real underground that they wouldnt sell them in stores cause they were always talking aboute explicit sexual shit and killing and drugs like crazy, it was real good though,and if you had a tape it was probably through your older brother who got it from the projects who got them from their brothers who go them from somewhere else who got them from the dj themselves. it took a long ass time, about 5 years, before tapes and cds were starting to be allowed to be sold in stores and, and then they dropped these albums of about 20 rappers together on one cd under a dj, or under a common name of the cd , like the noise 4,5,6, etc... the first , second, third noise were underground, so was playero 1 to like 46. straight up, like tony touch and his 58 tapes or more. anyway, they would drop them and then make them a live version and release tghe live version, it was great cause it was very very very different from the cd, and it was really live. reggateon concerts would happen every weekend, like 5 every weekend, big time concerts, with tons of rappers, for like $5, sometimes it was straight up free like if you were already in an area, like a fair, or the feria 2000 in Bayamon, they had reggateon concerts all the time, everywhere, and they were advertised with banners on busy corners like by plaza carolina or on the monserrate and especially in schools and in newspapers and on t.v. they have like two official reggateon stations now, but back in the beggining, it was limited to only fridays and saturday nights, on kind of wack stations that came out of, yeah, carolina. Graffiti too by the way is also a big part of carolina, and the bboying too. theres no doubt that ske and rek fx and tats crew to a lesser extent had murals all over carolina, since they lived there. you can still go to local parks in neighborhoods and you would be able to catch fx pieces from the early 90s all faded up but still better than anything anyone can do today.

e) Someone dropping a lot of very accurate history that unfortunately no one would understand or even care about.

 

 

Good stuff though, summed it up pretty well.

[WetPussy]

let me continue on with this.

 

1- Reggaeton may sound like its all the same, at first, but later on, after listening to it for years, youll realize that it actually IS all the fucking same. why? because the beat, the dembow beat, the infamous tum,TAMtumTAM,tum,TAMtumTAM is the heart and soul of reggaeton. of course, the rappers have to be rapping, but theres is allot of singing in allot of reggaton, but it is usually rapping.

2- back in the days, and even today, but more back in the days,1 out of every 2 rappers had some kind of a voice gimmick going on, like chezina would rap in a cypress hill kind of voice, tito from hector y tito would screech like a bitch, gringo would have a frog throat thing going on, rey pirin and mexicano would be on that same rugged voice frog tip too, allot otf these rappers did that shit back then, it was cool as fuck though, cool as fuck.

3- there is allot of connections between reggatons origins between one and only one other country in the world, not jamaica, not america, not mexico, it was panama. in allot of earlier reggaeton, rappers like falo, who sang about cool shit like drug buying in a real drug spot called the cruce, right by my house, anyway, he would mention panama as being another country where a rapper in pr could make it big, and vice versa. we had rappers from there doing their reggaeton over here, and allot of people liked that shit.

4- There has always been fights going on between reggaton rappers since the beggining of time, rubio y joel, and many other rappers, would actually dedicate their short reggaton appearances to solely defending themselves against insluts from other rappers.and theyre songs were very very good, and everyone was into it.

5- the reggaton artists could be seen in pr on a daily basis in certain areas like in the old san juan on the weekends, in isla verde on weekends, in airports, malls, streets, fairs, events, walgreens, these guys were your neighbors, they were everywhere, they were broke, they were humble, they were famous as hell but were not really famous at all.

 

6- cabalucci had the best lyrics and best flow and best stage appearance than probably any other rapper. thats my opinion but its a respected one. get his songs. he doesnt rap anymore, he barely even did rap in the first place, only about 10 songs ever released to the public. but most of the island knew them word by word, and they were hard words, like the wu tang, who he once started a riot because of them when they failed to appear in a concert back in maybe 94.

7- many dances were invented in connection with reggaton, the first being maybe the "culea"where a girl would just bend over and with her ass sticking out to he people, would just move up and down and in and out and the people would chant cu-lea, cu-lea, cu-lea. I was probably in 5th grade and it stopped at around 7th grade, back in maybe 96, its not done anymore, but they have all kids of shit now a days. the tra tra tra tra was ass shaking with the people saying tra tra instead of culea, and then there was just random crowd shouts that progressed into new dances.

8- random crowd shouts are importnt in reggaton. the concerts were and are still half the music genre, if you love reggaeton, memorize this "bicho pal cayao mi gente" which is shouted out to get people to start screaming, it means if you dont scream, you like dick, bicho, if you stay cayao, or callado, or silent. i dont know how it started to happen, but it did, and it was a foundation carried on till this day. you can also just say "al cayao" and it means the same shit.

9-the words used in reggaton are very mixed between english, spanish, jamaican fucked up english, and other kinds of fucked up spanish. yal means woman, or girl, in jamaican, but is used and started to be used in reggaton music, but now its used on the streets on the daily. ladamerci was used like craaaazy, lord have mercy was what it meant. the english in most reggaton has a clear puerto rican english accent, not of someone who grew up or even ever lived in america, but of someone who grew up and lived in pr his whole life without getting on a plane or boat in his life. its true, english is spoken easily by most of the people in the metro area of pr. the metro area is san juan, bayamon, caguas, guaynabo, carolina, trujillo alto, and i think thats it. theres about 3 million people cramped in these municipalities, and the other .5 million people in pr live elsewhere in the island, not in the metro area (northwest, but not the very north west tip, its hard to explain)

10- the whole island and everyone in it is ghetto in every sense of the word. its poor, violent, drug ridden, welfare dependent, subordinate, unemplyed, too much partying, too much fun, too much crime,too much pride, and your in the minority if you have both parents happily married.

theres no such thing as a concept of race. theres no black puerto ricans, no white puertro ricans, no brown puerto ricans, no nothing, theres no race, theres no segregation, theres no history of racism, I never knew skin color actually fucking existed as something other than a mere fact of biology until i went to america for a long period of time. theres no winter, its always always always always fucking hot as shit. if you dont have an a/c in your room, you are the most fucked person on earth. cars on the streets rarely, if ever ever, go above $25,000. its the happiest place on earth. the women are, and im sure yall agree, the finest on earth.

[ILOTSMYBRAIN]

this shit is wack.

[DETO]

i have only heard one reggaton song and a friend of mine had to tell me what the genre of music was called, but that one song sucked. and now, i'll never listen to it again.

[Guest imported_El Mamerro]

1) Yeah, it's pretty repetitive. But you can probably say the same about merengue. It's all based off that one beat. This shit was going downhill real quick when the genre got stale as hell in the late 90's with all the pointless tiraera... thankfully talented producers pumped it full of originality by driving it solidly into latin roots and getting rid of the hip hop sections, adding original drum programming instead of sampling Wu-Tang and whatever danechall loop was making noise at the time.

 

2) Don Chezina fucking ruled. He's still my fave, dude didn't even have to rhyme to sound dope.

 

3) Panama has always been PR's sister country, they're always on the same wavelength as us, be it reggaeton, spanish rock, (or both at the same time, ie: Los Rabanes & Don Omar) etc., and even just party styles. I've been to Mardi Gras twice and both times it was just a huge crowd of Panamanians and Puertorricans being rowdy in front of Cat's Meow. Same people, different accent, it's weird. In other news, Falo sucks.

 

4) I never got into the tiraera thing. Shit got real boring very quickly.

 

5) Yeah. I once accidentally ran straight into Mexicano when he was a bouncer at Club Hollywood, and I literally bounced off him and onto the floor. I thought he was going to murder me, but he was super nice and helped me up.

 

6) If Chezina was my fave, Cabalushi was a close second. The first time I saw him was on some video on channel 12, which was like all the videos at the time: 30 rappers on one video going one at a time on some random background like some project basketball court or a parking lot full of rented cars and everyone looking all sharp an bling and shit. All of a sudden this dude pops up in an abandoned house with a machete in his hand, looking like a fucking caveman, and completely shits on everyone else in the video. It was awesome, dude was really fucking ugly. Two bad he only got a few songs off.

 

7) Culea, haven't heard that in a minute. We got perreo now.

 

8) Don't forget "El que no brinque lo tiene en el culo!!"

 

9) COMFALLAMENOW, YAMEKNOWHY!

 

10) I'm definitely as unghetto as it gets, but I agree with the too much partying. About race, I always thought the same thing but it definitely becomes apparent after some time that there's still plenty racial tension on the island. Dude to our mostly mixed status it's not super noticeable and explicit, but unfortunately it lives on in subtle ways. Thankfully, we know how to put it behind us when we really need to come together, but don't fool yourself, racism exists in PR. Not having winters is the best thing in the fucking universe. Cars may not go over that mark often, but they rarely go under $14K due to the ridiculous taxes that drive prices around 13-30% above the sticker price in the US. So when you do see someone driving an $80K Benz, be assured he probably paid $110K for it. The women here are unbelievably hot but definitely a lot harder to get than the US.

 

Yay for random PR facts.

[J.Handsome]

i've always wanted to visit PR. i had a chance 2 years ago, but i couldn't go, financially and i would have ended up missing the last few weeks of the semester.

[WetPussy]

1) 1 in every 3 cars has a sound system and theyre loud as fuck and they are always on, all day and all night. you cant go somewhere 1 mile away without 100% guaranteed hearing someones whip bumping beats. rims are a big thing on the island too. big trucks are rare as fuck, and even big suv's are rare. the people are short compared to americans, but they are as brave as can get. guapo is what we call ourselves.

 

2) the island was first inhabited by the natives, the taino indians. then the spaniards came through with africans, but they all had sex with each other instead of fight each other. they kept fucking and then europeans came through, and the fucking kept going on, and then america came through and took over and kicked spains ass real hard and took the island for military and cheap labor.

 

3) the islanders generally do not like americans, they call them gringos in derrogatory manners, and they dont get along much even though their tourism is probably the #1 economy booster on the island. tourism is a huge recourse, its the most developed island in the carribean, and its got rela good style all in all, event hough its nuts and every day is like a new years day. no really, every month theres a holiday or two, we celebrate americas holidays, catholi holidays, christian holidays, puerto rican holidays, and even some spainiard holidays, and then the universla holidays like new years. and they celbrate that shit all out crazy, gunshots like a motherfucker. and then theres little holidays for famous puerto ricans doing international shit, like miss universe or boxing champs. gunshots like crazy. then theres holidays for shit like hurricanes that come through and paralyze the island for weeks.

 

4) the women are a little more difficult than american women, but they do look much much much better, so its all worth it.

 

5) nyc has more puerto ricans than san juan, and theres way more puerto ricans outside of puerto rico than inside of puerto rico. way more.

 

6) about the race issue, the race isnt noticed because we all talk the same, dress the same, same accent, voices, same neighborhoods, same status, schools, there was never segregation in our history like kicking people to back of busses or hanging people, or civil rights movements, its all one people, no civil wars ever happened here either, ever.

 

7) public housing is not seperated from big private houses at all, they are mixed even in the same blocks. they projects are everywhere you look, of all the cities, nyc has slightly more projects, then its pr, then chicago. they could be huge projects that stretch for miles and have their own intersection stoplights and shit, or small projects that arent even made of 20 units. they knocked down many high rise projects like berwyn to make them little and spread out, but theres still plenty of them though, like torres de sabana.

 

8) public transportation in pr is terrible, fucking terrible. theres small busses and then theres big busses, they are both unreliable and have few routes, its a hardship for people without cars, much worse than any american major city.

 

9) its main hang out area for nightime partying sand daytime chillin stretches like a motherfucker, through two cities, from isla verdes corner in caroline, passed the airport, pass the condado, pass a bridge called dos hermanos, and into san juans ocean park neighborhood, and down there till you get into san juans old city, then to the beggining of the castles called el morro, then through the old city all the way through and around it, then up to the docks in the back, then as soon as you hit a small freeway, then its sort of over, but you then again, you can chill in every corner and its aqlways poppin throughout the entire metro area.

 

10) beaches are everywhere you go. theres also lakes and rivers and lagoons everywhere and anywhere you are. allot of nice fruits growing off of trees everywhere, and coconut palm trees are a trademark. it rains every two days unless theres a drought, and droughts get severe enough to cut off water for days for everyone. no one sells drugs on the individual level, its got to be bought at projects and by the certain spots called punto, which means point, which means drug point. in the punto you can get anything, and if they dont have it, then just drive two blocks to the next projects, of course its better that you know someone thats a regular or friends with them. they also have weapons all over and lookouts all over on motorcyles and 4 tracks and shit like that. the murder rate is so high cause of puntos fighting each other for their own reasons. there arent any gangbangers like bloods and crips and latin kings. theres only about one or two gangs and its in the prisons i heard. so you can dress in any colors you want and go anywhere you want and not worry about being in the wrong area. walkie talkies used to be a thing that everyone jumped on the bandwagon and bought even just one, to communicate with anotgher young person that might be around the mile or two radius, it was fun and i was on that tip. my name was philly blunt. i remember a candyman, and there was usually some random person even if they were jsut driving by, and i even seen hot bitches fucking around with them and even met them up.

[WetPussy]

bump!

[WetPussy]

Ahem...

checkit checkit yo, heres a little abit of da way we roll..

 

Puerto Rico, the country island in the Caribean that I represent. Its the birthplace of somethin larger than life, the birthplace of stars, peace to New York, New York too, the year I left this island was two thousand one dash two thousand two. But the year I got there was nineteen eighty five, only two years after I was born. Thats not my whole life at all but its enough to shot call on the subject of Puerto Rico... yo yo here I go.

 

The streets are a fuckin mess, the murder rate and crime rate fucks up any city in america by far, I can assure you coming from PR theres nothing a dude hasnt seen. You dont have to be living in a certain area or hood, nah, all you need is to read the PR papers, nah, all you need to do is step outside your front door. Then outside your front bars, cause we live in bars down there. Literally, if your house doesnt have bars on it, and around any opening like for the AC, for the back door, for the back yard, for the motherfucking porch, theres bars and gates, people live in cages. theres allot of concrete too, the house and surrounding walls are concrete. There aint no brick houses in PR, brick doesnt exist in PR outside of the old san juan. then theres the color. the island is so colorful, its impossible to be depressed for real. theres the concrete houses and business of everyone,all painted different colors. you cant paint brick for real, and compared to wood, conrete is much better to paint with better results. the housed and business are all different colors. the zoning laws are a mess, a fucking mess that extremeley integrates residential and commercial and industrial zones. Why not, its a small ilsland with allot of people and no interstates (guess why retard?). The weather is never cold, our seasons arent four. Fruit tree grows sporadically. They call it "La Isla Del Encanto," they call it "Borinquen," they live on the island, and the boundaries are divided and known as municipalities, and theres about eighty somthin of em, and ninety somethin percent of them live in only eight of em. The first and only international airport is called "Luis Munoz Marin" and its in the municipality or "municipio" de Carolina. Right next to it is the "municipio" of San Juan, then theres others around theres six other in that area that for the "area metro" as it says on the phone book covers. Theres also the "area este", "area sur" "area norte" and "area oeste". "area metro" is where everyone lives as you guessed earlier. This is not where most of them in America are from, most of them in citties in NY and NJ and CHI and etc.... are not from the "area metro" because that is the developed area of the island, and those living their have no reason to leave the country for the reasons people leave countries, which is for better living standards/opportunities. But the people in PR love it there, and they love it there more than your people love it where your people are from. I dont care who your people are, my people love it their on PR wherever they are there on PR. The culture.....The culture is none at all. There is no culture. The way I know what culture is, there is none to specify Puerto Rico. Everyone exists their different as fuck from their neighbors. The history of who the people next door are is as blurry as your own history. Espanol is the language the world speaks outside. the langauge spoken inside too. Spanish sounds better than English or Chinese, thats the reason we speak Spanish. The way we speak it is our own, a result of being an island all alone. The "l" replaces the "r" in every other word, the "s" is a silent "h".

the schools are small, and dont fit more than 70 students per grade. thats how small the schools all are. they all wear uniforms, public and private, for safetey reasons most of all. the uniforms are just a tshirt and a pair of jeans, dont think ties please.

 

The bitches are sooo fine. the bitches are all fine. if your a PR woman, youve got a nice ass automatically.

 

thats my word of mouth to you

[AlwaysBombin]

Raggaeton is fuckin horrible, that shit makes my head wanna pop. Spanish in general gives me a headache, but my 2 best friends are Spanish, I'm at their house 24/7, and their Mom is like mine so I had to learn to live with the music...man, I still can't listen to Raggaeton. I won't front though, sometimes at a party I gotta ignore the pounding headache and hit the dancefloor anyways cuz girls get freak nasty to that shit

 

By the way, all this shit bout Puerto Rican bitches bein hard to get, wassup with playin the American card? Cuz I know in DR if you're American you got bitches throwin themselves at you...I kinda just always assumed it was the same

i'm in a class about the african diaspora. you should try to check out the origin of the slaves in that country... certain places, slaves were more commonly brought from different countries or cultures in africa by the spanish...

 

maybe puerto rico and panama have similar african roots, and thus a similar culture.

[bpts finest]

i love reggaeton thats are music...to bad it has become so commerical but that with everything that gets alot of exposure..when i was in pr i loved it and there very rich in culture..and there were some parts of pr you have to be real careful but there good and bad parts of every country ,state, city etc...
