  40  Mala Rodriguez Desde sus inicios La Mala Rodriguez acaparó la atención del mundo Hip Hop En Español.  Canciones como “La Niña”, “Tengo un Trato”, “Jugadoras, Jugadores”, y “Yo Marco El Minuto” marcaron historia dentro del Hip Hop Español.  25 años después sigue siendo una figura relevante adentro de la cultura. Luny Tunes & Noriega (Honorable Mention) The most successful production team in the history of Reggaeton.  There is a little controversy as to whom actually produced what.  A lot of the beats credited Luny Tunes specifically were worked on by the like of Nely, Nesty, Eliel, Tainy, Cheka, DJ Sonic, Doble AA, Nales, Bones among many others.  But they actually made a lot of their beats, so they deserve at least an honorable mention. 39 El Club De Los Poetas Violentos AKA CPV El Meswy, Kamikaze, Mr. Rango, Paco King, Supernafamacho, Frank-T y DJ Jota Mayúscula saved Spanish Rap from becoming forgotten from its initial wave in the late 80's...

 Top 100 Greatest Reggaeton and Latin Hip Hop Artists of All-Time part 2 #'s 79-61   79  Point Breakers This duo created the famous underground series "Tha Crew" (Puerto Rico) and were key members of the collective 'The Noise'.  They had a famous battle versus Hector & Tito which went on for about a decade. 78  Getto y Gastam Had Tempo not gone to prison, Getto y Gastam might have become one of the biggest duo of all times.  That is at least the general consensus.  Sadly, with Tempo not around to promote their debut album "Vida Eterna", the project floundered in sales despite receiving cult and critical acclaim.  "Vida Eterna" is considered one of the greatest Urbano projects in history by many of those who have heard it. 77  Cavalucci In 1997 it was between Cavalucci or Mucho Muchacho as to who was the greatest Latin MC rhyming in Spanish on earth.  Although Cava would never match his peak around this time in his later years and his...
