Latin American immigration to the United States slowly moved the genre to North America and into Spanish speaking neighborhoods, bodegas and nightclubs. Without question, Latin American music holds an even more powerful appeal to a now rising Latin American population in the United States. The Donald Trump campaign even tried remixing a Spanish tune in an effort to appeal to Latin American voters. Many other major names in modern reggaeton like Anuel AA, Maluma and Ozuna have further used their platforms to raise awareness for various issues.

In this sense, the reggaeton pioneers had to deal with the harsh criticism of popular puritanism and rap lovers. Reggaeton has been criticized for its strong sexual content, the same for which salsa was once criticized and even tango. And, on the other hand, was criticized also for being commercial, a mainstream version of rap. Thus, the first artists of the genre had to defend it from these criticisms and show that the music they did was serious. Even in the collaborations that were made with English-speaking artists since then, it can be seen and felt how the Caribbean artists had to adapt to the rhythms of hip-hop and not the other way around.
This song, of title in English, demonstrates the early interest that rap had in English for this Latin American genre that influenced while showing how at that time it was still evident how the first was stronger than the second. Thus, this first generation left the ground prepared for the new generation of reggaeton. While "Gasolina" by Daddy Yankee was an international success in Latin America, reggaeton has achieved world fame only in recent years, since it has not had to deal with criticism as strong as before and has been welcomed in the industry musical from other continents.
I think that an important figure in this sense is Cardi B. Born in the Bronx with Dominican descent and with a background in the world of striptease, this artist embodies the intercultural phenomenon of reggaeton.
He released his first album this year, sung entirely in English, but several of her greatest hits are in Spanish. In the 90s, Jennifer Lopez, also born in the Bronx with Caribbean ancestry, had to start her career singing in English, because if she wanted to achieve the international fame that was the way.
Now, the situation is the opposite, if Cardi B wanted to reach the Latin American public she has to sing in Spanish. Reggaeton, then, has become a platform for cultural exchange and rhythms. Reggaeton reminds the music industry of how much it needs the popular classes and the Latin American public.
Thus, reggaeton is one of the Caribbean and Latin American genres by definition, it is not an imitation of the trends of the English-speaking industry. Though many westerners may critique the music for hoving the same beat in every song, the fact is, this is the same as any form of latin music.
Every salsa song has the same rhythm, as does every cumbia , every merengue , etc Any music intended specifically for dancing, as reggaeton is, will always have the same beat to make it easier and more fun to dance to. Also, though many reggaeton songs have explicit lyrics, this is only one form of the genre, called " Perreo ," which is usually accompanied by a form of grinding which goes by the same name.
However, there are other forms of reggaeton: "Bachateo" and "Romantico" are two of the most common, both typically based around love. Reggaeton can be danced fast, slow, in pairs, or even single. Some famous reggaeton artists: Daddy Yankee is the most famous artist at the moment. Don Omar sings more emotional songs, often in the "bachateo" style.
Right up there with country and rap in terms of worse music on the planet. Reggaeton keeps getting worse, thanks to such jackasses as daddy yankee and don omar. Reggaeton or "Spanish reggae ," as it's sometimes called, is a genre of music totally unlike reggae in every single way despite its name. Despite some subtle differences and differing tempos, every Reggaeton song virtually has the same beat.
It also always has some talentless loser rapping in Spanish about how much he loves sex. You can usually hear it playing from people's cars or ipods. The people who listen to it ALWAYS turn it up obnoxiously loud because they're insecure and want to try to impress everyone by showing them their "good" taste in music.
