They're not reggea beats at all. Reggeaton was created in Panama and was spread through out latin America. There is already sub-genre of Spanish rap. Reggeaton is completely different even though some reggeaton artists use rap in their lyrics. (not all). Anyway, OP, what lyrics are those? What's the song called?

I'm sure panamanian rappers would like us to think that but i know better. Rap or sing over a reggae flavored track, its the same crap. 50 Cent "sings" too!

The majority ARE reggae flavored beats hence the name reggaeton! duh

I'm not here to debate the origins of reggaeton. It genereally sucks either way.

What about the song by Ludicris ??, who talks about whites and downs America, and he did fund raisers for Obama.

Everything Obama touches has dirty finger prints on it.

Go McCain
!
Yea, I agree with you, blacks have no reason to be upset and vote for other blacks 90% of the time.... obviously blacks need to get ove it and move on with life.

Spanish reggae and reggaeton are similar but different. Reggaeton is more like "spanish hip-hop" very popular in P.R. If you listen to spanish reggae artist like El General it has a much different flow.

McCain went to a highschool and supported Daddy Yankee's song Gasolina (which is about semen). Mccain is clueless he even thinks that the song supports his offshore oil drilling. McCain should be associating himself with Don Omar who sings about HIV and important issues. McCain doesn't even care enough to learn about what song he is promoting.
