Top 100 Urbano Songs Of All Time (With Links)

100 Rosalía – Bizcochito (2022)  - A modern day classic and Reggaeton at its purest.  El Jincho made this beat with old files DJ Urba shared with him.  No wonder this sounds like DJ Urba and DJ Raymond's stuff from 'Apocalipsis Boricua' from 1999. Daddy Yankee ft Varios – Somos De Calle Remix (2008) Ruben DJ – La Escuela (1989) - The first single ever in Spanish Rap is a poignant song telling kids to stay in school and avoid problems in the streets. Álvaro Diaz – La Canción De Mia pt 4 (2018)  Arguably Alvarito's best song, an emotional Rap with samples from Kali Uchis and Reykon/ Chris Jeday ft Ozuna, Arcangel y J Balvin – Ahora Dices (2017) DLG – No Morirá (1996) Akwid – No Hay Manera (2003)   The ultimate Cholo Rap anthem. Tempo – Mas Fama y Dinero (2002) Tempo's ultimate diss track to El Cartel, Guatauba and Pina Records.  Ironically it was released on "The Godfather", an album distributed by Pina Records. DJ Joe ft Horny Man y Panty Man – Sonido ...

Afrobeat: Moda o El Futuro Del Urbano Latino?

  Afrobeat:   Moda o El Futuro Del Urbano Latino? Por Reggaeton Party Mane 1 Como ya lo han hecho miles de veces antes, están sonando las trompetas para el final del Reggaeton.   Haría más sentido que lo sonaran para el Hip Hop en Español pero como a nadie le importa ese género no hacen nota de lo irrelevante que es.   Y ya le han nombrado reemplazo al Reggaeton, como en un tiempo hicieron con el Trap, Techno, y hasta el Tribalero (acaso alguien recuerda lo que eso fue?)   Esta vez el sucesor al Reggaeton es un género cual en actualidad es mas viejo que nuestro preferido género musical, el Afrobeat. Yo no soy experto en Afrobeat.   Y no estoy en humor de hacer rebúsqueda sobre un género cual me interesa bien poco.   No es nada personal ni que no me guste el género, pero simplemente no conozco los lenguajes Africanos en la cual el Afrobeat mayormente predomina.   Y la gran ola de Afrobeat en Inglés donde artistas como Drake y Beyoncé hicieron...

2002-2008 The Golden Age of Reggaeton & Hip Hop En Español part 2 Conclusion (Exclusive)

  2002-2008 The Golden Age of Reggaeton & Hip Hop En Español part 2 (The Conclusion) By Reggaeton Party Mane 1 So, now that we have all that background out of the way we can focus on the era itself... well except there is a little bit more.  The title says 'Reggaeton and Hip Hop En Español '... ahh Hip Hop En Español, Reggaeton's forgotten older firstborn brother.  If Jamaican Reggae is the father then Hip Hop is definitely the mother of Reggaeton.  Rap in Spanish came first before Reggae in Spanish, at least in the Dancehall variety which is what Reggaeton came to be formed from.  Spanish Reggae came from Panama, made its way into Puerto Rico and fused with Hip Hop in the mid 1990's to form what came to be known as Reggaeton, but back then was called 'Underground'.  It wasn't until the late 1990's that 'Reggaeton' became the common term for music done over what is known as the 'Dembow' drum pattern or *Tumpa Tumpa*. But what happened...

2002-2008 The Golden Age of Reggaeton & Hip Hop En Español (Exclusive) part 1

 2002-2008 The Golden Age of Reggaeton & Hip Hop En Español part 1 By Reggaeton Party Mane 1 First off, I wholeheartedly disagree with the title.  This is a general consensus thing.  It's because the audiences in the 90's was very small.  We are at least referring to the core more dedicated audience.  Sure, Big Boy, El General and even Control Machete reached millions.  But the audience paying attention to the beefs between The Noise and La Industria, observing MC Ceja, Mexicano and Tempo as the successors to Vico C's throne and even fans of Vico C or Ivy Queen numbered only in the few hundreds of thousands.  But a lot has changed in recent times and this is what the first part is dedicated in covering. The main difference between now and then is that Rap & Reggaeton used to be mostly regional.  It still is, when you consider overall talent, but with the main difference being that the biggest artists now receive a worldwide platform when b...

Top 100 Greatest Urbano Albums Of All-Time #'s 50 to 1

Image
50  Luny Tunes y Noriega - Mas Flow (2003) 49  Wisin & Yandel - Pal Mundo (2005) What else can be said about Wisin & Yandel's "Pal Mundo" that hasn't already.  It is master class on how to do Reggaeton for the clubs and Pop audience without losing that street edge.  It is the best of all worlds.  Also, Mas Flow Inc's production on this one is timeless. 48  Mala Rodriguez - Lujo Iberico (2000)  47  Alvaro Diaz - Sayonara (2024) It may be kind of early for a victory lap for good ol' Alvarito, but he deserves it.  This album may not up everyone's alley, but those of us who appreciate know what a great work it truly is.  46  Playero Greatest Hits Street Mix III (1999) 45  Tres Coronas - Nuestra Cosa Deluxe (2006) 44  Voltio - Voltaje AC (2004) 43  Vico C - En Honor A La Verdad (2003) Vico C's second best selling album, but arguably his most influential one.  This is Vico C meets the Luny Tunes "Mas Flow Era" ...
