I'm sure some of you on here have heard of the Reggaeton music genre, which is apparently a mix of hip-hop, Jamaican dancehall reggae and Caribbean rhythms. I just listened to some clips, like the one below, and I kinda like it! Nice beat.

There is definetely something to be said about it. However, I will not be the one to say it.

You should see if you can track down "Culo" and "Gasolina".

Gasolina sucks. IMHO, of course.

Eh, maybe if I was on a tropical island with some sort of alcoholic drink in my hand, with a slice of some sort of exotic fruit in it.

This belongs in a cop chase movie in Miami. That's where I'd listen to it, anyway.

Well, I didn't like it as much as "Culo", I'll admit... but I do like the structure... I'd say it was a 'better' example of Reggaeton, rather than a 'worse' example...
