LA KALLE BLOCK PARTY(Wednesday) Is it a sign of ill health for the genre that all the big reggaetón concerts these days tend to have almost identical lineups? This one features Daddy Yankee (of course), Tego Calderón (mm-hmm), Calle 13 (certainly) and Ivy Queen (the one woman at all of these shows). The new blood here is R. K. M y Ken-Y, a popular duo from Puerto Rico whose members are barely in their 20s. At 8 p.m., Madison
Whom ever the author of this little diddy is from the New York times hit the hammer right on the head of the nail. What is La Kalle trying to do, with this wack ass lineup? Its an awesome line-up for last year and maybe the year before, but as stated above its the same ol‘ same ol‘. People get really tired of that.
Why Princesa you are being really harsh today! Well someone has got to say it, cause others are too scared to.
Why offer the same old people when you can grab reggaeton acts like; Jowell y Randy, Casa de Leones, Notch, Alexis y Fido, Angel y Khriz and Magnate. All these acts have songs that are on www.reggaetonline.net ’s top 20. The cool thing about this chart is that it constantly tells us each week what listeners in the U.S. are listening to and what’s popular. The good folks at La Kalle along with Univision should not even need Reggaetonline’s chart. They know what’s new and hot. My only question is not how much the artists are getting paid but how much the artists are paying you.
The reach of the Reggaeton industry is so short, the author of the above review called Rakim and Ken y NEW! HA! Someone really needs to get on the ball and devise a real system of letting the general public know what’s going on in the Reggaeton genre. Rakim and Ken Y are really good but they are soooo yesterdays news.
Maybe more fault should be found in La Kalles radio music line-up. They do have a consistent record of playing the same old songs. Fans have also pointe fingers at La Kalle for the quick rise and fall of Reggaeton on the airwaves. When Dj’s coast to coats looked to them to show them who were new and hot in reggaeton they chose to play the same old Daddy Yankee, Don Omar, and who ever else on a daily basis. They made it seem like Reggaeton was a one minute genre.
From past concert it’s a no brainer that La Diva, Ivy Queen should be included in each and every Reggaeton concert there is. Her performance is always heart felt and from the heart. She will sing with you, at you, and through you. Other fans who read this will be able to name even more artists who should be a party of this party. If it was my party I would trown in Noztra and Tweapons as well as other heavy hitting underground Latin rap groups and set the party off the right way.
Reggaeton by no means is dying but stuff like this makes you think otherwise. Latino in the industry need to get thier selves together and find a way to make the Latin Rap and Reggaeton industy into something that markets itself.
Yeppers! Hector, Don Omar, and their managers got arrested and in
I guess the prolly would take the same advice that is given here in the states; don’t bend over in front of strange men and don’t drop the soap when you take a shower… or just don’t take a show! HA
After one of the Dj’s from
Del la Ghetto told TV show Super Exclusivo that he attended the concert with his family girl friend, and dancers. Neither he nor anyone with him was involved. He also stated that he wasn’t upset at the false allegations thrown his way by the Reggaeton 94 DJ because it’s his job to gossip and toss rumors around about entertainers for ratings. De La Ghetto also stated that he and Arcangel are friends and he has nothing against him. De La Ghetto is not involve in tiraera(beef put to lyrics) and sings romantic songs, thus even the rumor that he is feuding lyrically with Arcangel and Don Omar is false because that is just not his style.
I dont think De la Ghetto seems like the kind who would consort with someone who would do that. Plus he looked sexy and innocent during his TV interview!
I am sorry guys, but Daddy Yankee got me again with the song Ella me Levanto. Although Daddy Yankee didnt get rave reviews from reggaeton fans on thi CD, El Cartel: The Big Boss, he definitley wins points with me on this one. If you have not heard the song yet, you can definitely catch the Video on the home page of http://www.reggaetonline.net/ this week. If you catch this post late you can look it up on http://www.reggaetonline.tv/. If someone would have slipped me the CD I would have heard this song already…. but se la vi!.. Oh and for those ladies who dont know already, Daddy does look breath taking in person as well as in his video! haha!
Thats what I am listening to now. Why because its an awesome song by a very talented Reggaeton artists from Panama who I have come to love, El Roockie. Besides the fact that I would love to have his children, I still am in this for the music. If I am correct, this seems to be the Intro for his new abum set to be released in 2008. I justs spoke with him tonight and got an exclusive interview with him that yall can check out on www.reggaetonline.net.
So Roockie if you read this remember that I LOVE YOU MAN!
For those who dont know whats ahead check out his myspace and make sure you buy his album when it gets here next year!
I was at the Invasion CD release party and who did I run into? Mr Echo himslef! Of course my sexy radar goes bazurk because I love me some Puerto Rican men! Later on I will be doin an interview with him for www.reggaetonline.net, the best source of reggaeton information! He let me know that he will be doing projects with Chris Brown and Keke Palmer from Akeelah and the Bee and a few more Hip-hoppers, but I forget who cause I was payin more attention to his sexyness! WOOO LORD! Anyway you heard it from me first!~~~Kisses!
Word on the streets and that Ricky Martin took Luny on a boyz night out in Miami. While at a club, who did they happen to run into? Ya boyz Jay -Z and Pharrell! This may have been the first real time Luny met and talked to the Hip-hop producer. Once Pharell and Luny started talking, Pharrell is made the comment that he’s heard that they were working on a project together! With a laugh they both agreed that they should start planning and working on that project soon!
HMMmmm I smell a Pharrell-Luny Tunes colabo coming soon!
This duo is back, and better than ever. With their hit song Carita De “Angel from Dj Echo’s” Invasion, they are telling their fans they are here to stay. At the Invasion CD release party, they performed and had the crowd in a frenzie. Yes Khriz looked like king pimp, and boy does he know how to make the women swoon. If it wasnt for his lovely wife Ashley, I would have definitely tried to holla! HOLLA KHRIZ! Angel looked sexy too. What is a girl to do in a world full of sexy Puerto Rican reggaeton artists like these guys?
I recently had a chance to meet Divino. He is one of my favorite artists and has been in the Reggaeton game longer than most. As I spoke to him , I thought to myself he looks so much younger than he does in his videos. Then it dawned on me that he had lost weight!. He was so nice and very personable. I found it easy to hold a conversation with him. He offered up weight loss advise and information about his health, his opinion of the Reggaeton industry today, and spoke about his family.
He had to lose weight due to a few health issues that popped up in early 2006. He is very happy that he has made a change for the better. His wife, who recently gave birth was also present, and she looked stunning herself.
Divino is one artists who is well known by most hard core Reggaeton fans. Those who are not aware of his existence outside of Puerto Rico as a Reggaeton artists need only listen to a few songs to know he has great talent. Check out some of his songs on” MVP Grand Slam” or on Khriz and Angels “Los MVPs” album in the song ‘De Caseria’.
Well it sure does seem more likely than not. The Duo opted not to accompany Luny and the other artists present to the podium to accept an award for Noche de Entierro. Yes, millions of Reggaeton Fans noticed this and thus the rumors started to fly. Seems like the problem goes back to them becoming buddy buddy with Don Omar. Every since they hooked up with Don, they have noticeably and many times openly shunned Luny. It amazes me how many times Luny has hooked the duo up, yet still the Mas Flow mogul gets the cold shoulder. It seems to be a case of petty jealousy. Artists have done the same to Daddy Yankee. Although King Daddy has paved the way for Reggaeton to grow in the states, in the past artists have openly shown and stated how they despise him. Seems in Reggaeton, the more you succeed the more haterz pop up.
No matter how much artist like Yankee and producers like Luny assist the others by connecting them to a world outside of Puerto Rico; once the individual artist things he has a foot into the door of success, the I don’t need you attitude comes forth. I can attest that both Yankee and Luny is nicer and more down to earth than any of his fans know. Luny definitely has a heart of gold, and if you do your homework, you can see all the ways he has help his friend, or those who he thought were his friends. If I can recall correctly, he hooked Wisin and Yandel up with R-Kelly, Lenny Kravitz, and Paris Hilton, as well as a few more people that slip my mind. They also Recorded their hit albums, Los Vaqueros and Pal Mundo in his studio. I will let all that speak for itself.
So the answer is YES, something is going on. Reggaeton artists need to stop burning their bridges, and then trying to kiss and make up down the road. It simply makes them look stupid and childish in the end. Do I hate Wisin and Yandel, NO! They are two of my favorite artists… but this craziness needs to stop somewhere.
