Who likes Reggaeton?????? Why isn’t there a Genre for it????

Good question, lol maybe it’s not vast enough in the UK or it’s fan volume here is not enough.

The reggaeton mixes we’ve seen on the site tend to end up in the ragga, hip-hop, or commercial pop sections.

I agree with Choo, that with more fan interest, perhaps it can get a genre representation along with its dancehall and reggae parents. If this post builds up momentum, maybe it can do it.

"Whut’s this reggietron stuff? Never heard it." I luv that quote from Winston s Esq,it,s a classic. yo i,m in central islip Long Island, New York where all u here is reggatone,i recently upgraded my car system to 3000 watts of pure power,not max power where everything is distorted and the speakers are ready to blow,I mean clean power output,just to play my reggaeton collection & rggtn refixxes..oh yeah by the way i,m a 41 yr old non spanish understanding black man who still listens to my early 80,s hip hop live show collection,Flash,Mo Dee,BamBaata,Jazzy J,CC 4,Fan 5,Ect..I,m trying to find the best site to upload my stuff,I see myspace is popular but is that the best place for guuys like me who do this for a hobby.i,m up on reggaeton,but i will say this, it better start evolving quick cause the rhythms can get stale real qwik.

Not feelin it at all.. sry.

I hate this Reggaeton remixes of Rap-Songs! ..But unfortunatly in the club the Girls go wild with this sh..

I’m not gonna waste time reading the post on Reggaeton. It might upset me. I was deep in to until it became main stream in the USA and then I started to notice that everybody who was producing beat…….. all was jocking each other ….that really played the genre out … no one was trying to experiment at all………… they all have the same formula……. In Puerto Rico Reggaeton won’t die but out side …it can …. So me I stop producing Reggaeton and when to Rap and R&B…… I found it hard till this day to even do a Reggaeton Beat cause no I don’t feel it … but I’m looking for a way to switch it up so …it won’t die …. I’m Dominican and we all know Dominicans …Luny Tunes help bring the Reggaeton to the light of the States ……I grew up on it …when it was hard core and shit … so I’ll never lose love for it …it’s just hard to digest now and days……………… but I got a ton of Acapellas if ya’ll want …if you know spanish you can’t get alot of things you want. I’m assuming I’m the only Hispanic in the forum …. but sue … holla me yall

reggaeton = awesome

i only hate it wen stupid motherfuckas only listen 2 the commercial shit

call me out of touch, but can someone point me in the right direction as to what Reggaeton is. I love reggae, but I’ve never heard of this music in the UK

Reggeaton was like a quick trend…in and out…maybe if those reggeaton guys could stop using that same old drum pattern and change the "theme"(so to say) of there stuff than maybe they’ll win over some more hip-hop and pop fans..

ima reggeaton dj, check out my mixtape TATO VOL 3
