The Best Years in Reggaeton/Urbano History Part 1 (#'s 6 to 10) and Honorable Mention

Image
#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...

El Futuro Del Reggaeton, Rap y Música Urbana parte 2: Back To The Underground, again!? Por Reggaeton Party Mane P “El Uno”

  El Futuro Del Reggaeton, Rap y Música Urbana parte 2:   Back To The Underground, again!?    Por Reggaeton Party Mane P “El Uno” Many will be thrown off by the title, even less will know what the hell I am writing about.  To briefly summarize, Reggaeton in Puerto Rico from 1994-2001 was known as “Underground”.  Even though in Panama it was known as “Plena”, the music was widely considered “underground” during this timeframe as well.  That is why the years of 1994-2001 is often known as the “Underground Era” of Reggaeton and Spanish Rap. When Reggaeton went back to the dark ages from 2009-2015 as the major labels blacklisted most Rap and Reggaeton artists until Nicky Jam collaborated with Enrique Iglesias with “El Perdón”…  This era came to be known as the “Back To The Underground” era.  The reason being that most relevant music with Urbano, Spanish Rap and Reggaeton was not being supported by major record labels and instead were released i...

  El Futuro Del Reggaeton y El Urbano Parte 1:  La Inteligencia Artificial En El Reggaeton por Reggaeton Party Mane P “El Uno”   Por si acaso has vivido debajo de una piedra, o simplemente no tienes un interés en la tecnología; la inteligencia artificial ha tomado control de casi toda faceta de nuestras vidas modernas.   Hay compañías trillonarias poniendo todo el valor de sus empresas sobre la inteligencia artificial, y según los expertos, los más éxitosos triunfarán a largo plazo y por bastantes años.   Muchos han triunfado ya como NVIDIA.   Pero según los expertos van haber muchos perdedores adentro de los próximos par de años cuando la burbuja de la IA explote, y solo los empresarios junto a sus compañías más capáces sobrevivirán semejante a el internet “boom” al final de los 90’s, comienzo de los 2000’s. No voy explicarle a aquellos quienes ni tienen idea de lo que es la inteligencia artificial.  Si tienen curiosidad pueden observar este a...

Yeruza: Malianteo With a Conscience; The Light of Salvation Snuffed out too early

Image
I did not pay attention to Yeruza until about a year or two after his death when several records were coming out of his with known artists.  I had heard of him, but whatever came into my network I ignored as it came across as generic Malianteo stuff, which it was.  For those uneducated on the subject, Malianteo is the equivalent of Gangsta Rap but in Spanish and sometimes done over Reggaeton beats as well.   I am not a fan of generic malianteo.  I can understand how misguided youths living a lifestyle comparable to a gunner in the old west can relate to those songs and love every malianteo track done with the most minimum level of competence.  Some of you are even living the beefs in Puerto Rico and DR picking sides within Philadelphia, New York, and Florida.  I do find it disgusting when y'all celebrate the death of your rivals on social media.  That shit needs to stop!  It's shit like that which is going to send this culture backwards....
