Puerto Ricn from jersey much respect
This might be the 1st time I see Vice FuP facts this much … as a boriqua and an elder I can tell you he's wrong and he does not qualify to speak on this
this man is so annoying
this mini documentary sucks! he barely mentioned the real origin of reggaeton 'Carolina, Puerto Rico', Panama created a rhythm similar to reggaeton from the Jamaican reggae but that's IT… do your research and if you're going to make such documentary about this genre you should use a Puertorican to narrate the story.
With peace and love (and no disrespect to this guy) why not interview some of the originators of the genre (who many are still alive and making music) from any of the countries mentioned, especially Puerto Rico who helped catapult the genre mainstream as opposed to a rando French dude?
Also, majority of the genre now is not political and overtly sexual. Bad Bunny has a few singles about the conditions in PR along with some other but most of the rest of it is explicit trash for the sake of being explicit.
Lastly, “afro Caribbean people who put it on the map” 100% but then shows a close up of Cuba instead of centering on Jamaica lol
Boricuas start it in PR influenced by Sounds from Panama and Jamaica
Im from no where and everywhere…………no, no sir your from New York.
When I lived in Nicaragua in the early 2000s all I heard was Daddy Yankee (Gasolina) blaring in the streets literally everywhere. Couldn't escape it. For that reason I hate it with every fiber of my being.
I like reggeaton but I don't like the vibe around it how the videos sexualise women and the men act around money and women.
Also this guy cannot dance 😂
it's systemic not systematic
Many of them to find.
This is dope ❤
& YOU ARE ONE BROKEN DISCO RAYSDO….A DAY LATE, & A DOLLAR SHORT
1:03 "Reggaeton is a celebration of resistance"
Wat
bro reggaeton is almost always about sex and flaunting wealth, not more not less. This is some gringo bullshit trying to turn something political to fit their narrative.
I'm happy he acknowledged the contribution of Africans and Jamaicans to reggaton genre. Everything nonblack Latinos love about their culture is due to the heavy and sustained influence of African slaves. But they don't like to hear this tho…
This is the type of content i want to see
Typical Vice politically framed piece on a musical genre. Oppression, bla bla, it's just a reggaeton beat guys and most songs follow the same format. It is like a lot of trap/rap music that use the same old tired rhythms… It is tedious and lacks musicality, melody, originality, key changes to keep it interesting, and so on.
Only Reggae is and was always the dominant beat ❤one Love
This dude a clown that doesn’t know half of the story.
Saying it was made by a Panamanian in new york. 🤦🏻♂️ payaso
No way
The Beat, It Sucks; Reggaeton
tho i respect his music and the love he's got for it, he lost me with his introduction. "My father is Colombian. My mother is French. I was born in New York. So iM fRoM evErYwhErE and nOwHerE aT tHe SaMe tiMe". Bro, you're literally not. You're from NY. End of story, bro.
Reggae is the only way
🤣
Yo soy de San Juan PR, y odio esta musica. Criandome en los 90's y 2000's… clase porqueria
I hear this crap drive by every day in shitty Hondas that sound like they're trying to take rattle themselves apart down the street.
💤 😴
Lord have mercy 🙏
Out of all the people y’all pick this guy? LMAOOO Come On Viceeee… Interview El Chombo, Dj Playero, Dj Negro etc.. Smh
To the Vice producers, next time please have someone add details of the things he was talking about in the video. Your videos are usually good about educating, I'm surprised at the vagueness.
Personally I am against reggaeton drill music and trap trash music
Talks about political subjects or against oppression 😳😳 what the F this dude talking about. Who the hell is this fool?
I HOPE YALL DIDNT PAY THIS FOOL ☝️
reggae is so cringe go listen to real music nerds
What a phony perspective. Now why don't you want to say that its party music? You ashamed of sex?
This guy does not know anything bout reggaeton besides where it comes from and there was a point when there was crossover wit reggaeton and English which became urbano pop , reggaeton never everrrr talk bout politics
Name me popular reggaeton song that talks bout politics 😂
Reggaeton it’s sexual , romantic ,and vulgar , I have never even heard bout you like that 😂 what reggaeton songs did u produce for the artist , i have been 25 years on this REGGAETON industry never in my life have heard the disrespected reggaeton came from Panama period , yes Jamaican came and work in Panama 🇵🇦, but reggaeton was made by Panama people and last but not atleast I hate travel expida 😂
He loves black sausage
i hate this beat. come on. you can take a beat and associate it with an entire movement SINCE reggae. i mean, FINE I GUESS. have it. a BEAT though? i hate it so much. EVERY SONG has to sound like this?! even metal isn't as repetitive as this.
I knew this was going to be a woke afro BS thing … yawn… next video will be about how opera was invented by tribes in the savannah
