  The Top 10 Best Years in Urbano History and The 5 Worst #5 1999/2001 (tie) 1999 This year was almost dystopian.  1999 was such a fantastic year for those us that truly know and love Reggaeton and Hip Hop en Español.  1999 did feel like sort of a dystopian year, kinda like the end of the 80’s up until 1992 and the L.A riots.  Only it seemed like we were being destroyed by corporate consumerist culture and the eventual dot com bubble was its inevitable correction.

#6 1998 This year was filled with so many classics.  1998 was a banner year for Reggaeton history.  We also got the first taste of the mainstream success that was to come.  El Chombo and DJ Negro each signed joint venture deals with Sony.  Chombo and his Cuentos de la Cripta went on to become huge in Mexico.  Meanwhile DJ Negro and The Noise became a sensation in Venezuela.  Of course, international mainstream success was years away. There was more.  Vico C made his 1 st triumphant comeback (there would be more) with ‘Aquel Que Habia Muerto’.  Mexicano released his classic ‘Entre El Bien y El Mal’.  MC Ceja’s “Todo Ha Cambiado” came out that year as well.  Playero 41 released at the tail end of 1998 after a then unheard of 2 year wait.  And it lived up to expectations.  The first Gargolas and Hector & Tito albums came out in 1998.  We had the legendary battles of Falo vs the Mansion Crew, Hector & Tito vs Baby...
