Dont listen to it. Except "Pun Tun Tun" by El General.

I don't like it because rhythmwise, it sounds like a recreation of the early '90s rhythm used on Shaggy's "Mampie," Screechie Dan & Red Fox's "Pose Off," "Dirtsman's Hot This Year," and Frankie Paul's "Day-O." Now it sounds dated and cheesy. But I guess I'm glad people are enjoying it and the industry is profiting from it.

A good recommendation would be Notch's new album, although I was hoping for something different from this great singer formerly of Born Jamericans.

Dude, I live in a Dominican neighborhood... it's ALL I hear. Never thought anything could sound so monotonous! And people say that about reggae... cho!

It Sucks Ass period, same as the kind of rap where all they do is brag about what they got. The only reason it exists is because the video's have some fine ass girls in them. No Message = No Heart

Yeah matty, Fire bun Reggaeton!

Never really cared for it.

This music rape the original riddims that were use in the jamaican dancehall scene.At first in the 90' was alright and seems more original.Nowadays this music brings nothing important to the listeners.Thr producers don't even try to create music they just loop the Shabba Ranks track "Dem Bow" time & time again.I'm hoping this music died in the next 10 years

LOL! This is just the reggaeton hate thread! It's great! Fyah bun reggaeton!
