I have to say this. Most of you guys talk about diffrence in the genre's go with each other and where they from. Point is not where you from is where your at and where your going. And frankly the reggaeton genre is going places. and getting huge. You say with out dance hall reggaeton wouldn't be anything. well gracias to dancehall and reggae for helping the genre forum but now to see where this genre will take it. Many transform of this genre is being created. and it has been becoming more complex. harder dembows more effective melodies, truely and art compaird to 6 years ago hard dembow and ****ty as melodie. Listen to the latest cd's of reggaeton the beats are truely art. and if u do not belive that is art you need to stop producing and maybe open a limonaid stand cus this is not for you. fact is reggaeton has risin over the levels of Reggae//Dancehall from new channel MTV3 many many of it's own shows on english tv. radio stashion across the united states. clothes line, i could keep going. and not just in the states. a friend of mine from albania way, across the way. is feeling the genre. and will be the first albanina reggaeton mc from oye productionz coming this fall so look out for him bye the way. in switzerland. holland. spain in many places are felling the movement. italy ask djfresh. right there in sicily and in greece. of course so has reggae reached europe and dominated germany but so have we. and were killing. Which genre is better? Well i think it's
Reggaeton.

U SAID IT.. Reggaeton is changining alot. Its not going to happen right away, but if you listen to the beats from 2003, and the beats now, there more complex. And many producers are getting real creative with their samples and there drum patterns. People are really seeing the power of FL STUDIO..lol.. But nah, I feel reggaeton is going to really take of next year. If you go around driving,I guarentee you'll find alot of people blastin the reggaeton. Well I kno, for most hispanics, reggaeton is the number one music of choice. And hispanic are now being the number one minority. So whether reggaeton turns mainstream or not, reggaeton is going to be around for a while because everyone is listining to it. But I do believe reggaeton is crossing over slowly, it seems like every pop artist wants to make a reggaeton remix with Luny Tunes..lol ..Cough Cough Paris Hilton... That was terrible, hot beat though, lol ..REGGAETON HERE TO STAY ...Reppin P.R. BABY
 
Dancehall hands down, reggaeton is aight but its a style taken from another style. I cant front though i like da spanish just dont understand wat there saying, but dancehall got da wickedest riddims hands down.......

i dont really understand how you guys can say it is "taken" from another style,yes there would be no reggaeton without dancehall,but i dont think reggaeton just stole it and changed the name.every genre has evolved from another and reggaeton has elements from many different types of music bachata,merengue,salsa,dancehall,hip hop,etc.so i dont really see how its "taken/stolen" from dancehall.
 
Because dancehall hear are ultimate genre and they try to take pride in it bye saying they first created it. Because they can't create it now. jealous. because our genre has became greater then there genre. straight up.

I dont think their are any dancehall or reggae artist complaining about it. What I find strange is that when Jungle came out in the early 90's a lot of Jamaican artist were bitching about it. Mind you this was there own black brothers making this music and giving respect to reggae, dub and dancehall pioneers. Not the case to this socalled reggaeton, they outrigth refuse to give credit where it is due. Even Dubstep gives reggae, dub and dancehall more respect. And when people as stupid questions about which one is better they wonder why I get angry.


ANSWER ME THIS IS DON OMARS BELLY DANZA FEAT B EANIE MAN REGGAETON OR DANCEHALL?

THAT LEVELS IT OUT SINCE YOU SAY REGGAETON IS CALLED REGGAETON CAUSE ITS MIXED, BUT THE ONLY THINK I HEAR IS DANCEHALL WITH SPANISIH JIBERISH! I JUST ASKED THAT BECAUSE THE SONG IS LABELED REGGAETON BY ALOT OF PEOPLE IT JUST A MODERN DANCEHALL BEAT OF THE 00'S JUST LIKE THE REGGAETON BEAT IS A DANCEHALL BEAT! I MEAN COME ON LETS BE REAL ALL REGGAETON SONGS HAVE NO MIXTURE JUST THAT BEAT AND SOME NOISE SAMPLES THAT DONT = TO THE LATIN SOUND BTW WTF IS A LATIN SOUND????? electronic keyboard, it could not be african derived (instruments)bongas etc cause thats african!
 
have you ever even heard a reggaeton song hahaha, you are crazy wrong.Are you like a self hating hispanic or something?not every reggaeton song has dembow in it
 
Reggaeton does not have to have a dembow. There is more things that create the genre. so don't give dancehall crediet for a hit reggaeton song. if it sounds good it's reggaeton if it sounds ****ty it's dance hall. thats how u tell diffrence.
 
im a hip-hop head!!!! but **** reggeton......i rather listen to dancehall, reggeton is just plain pop and really annoying.
 
dj rico king no offense dog, but dancehall is far better than reggaeton. i aint knockin reggaeton cuz i think that sh!t is dope but its not universally accepted, Dancehall or Reggae have legitimate legends sh!t u can go to europe, africa, sh!t even russia and i bet u 10$ they know who the hell bob marley is, sh!t even niccaz in da U.S. know bob marley a legend, ask them niccaz who a reggaeton legend is, wait a minute reggaeton hasnt been around long enough for dat.
 
true reggaeton hasn't but it will be i can guarentee that. reggaeton will be here for the long run. and the legends of el father y don y yankee will be remiber and the true chosen few. i could see tego calderon as the next bob marley.

getting off subject candy canes are good.

well i don't know enuff about dancehall to say which is better, i just think itz jus ignorant to come in da thread to down either genre, but i'm a reggaeton head, when i first heard it i got hooked, reggaeton is mah favorite genre, an hopefully i'll do reggaeton music fulltime soon. I do wish reggaeton would get its own board like otherz have been sayin', but anyway, everybody has an opinion, but i love reggaeton.

ok for one i see no flag i see a square with an x in it, so having a name like DOMINICAN BOI might make me think that your hispanic (you know form the dominican republic) and if u listen to most of vico c music you will not hear dembow in most of his songs and he is one of the pioneers of reggaeton.but i guess i cant try to make a point since you appear to be all knowing and o yea IM SORRY TO ALL "HISPANICS" OUT THERE BUT THE ALL MIGHTY DOMINICANBOI HAS DELCARED THAT WE ARE NOT AN ACTUAL RACE. and this is my last post in any topic like this im sick of dealing with clowns like you that are living in the past
 
to get back on topic, i like reggaeton better for the simple fact i can't understand 1 word them jamaicans say.

this is actually true, what dominician boy say, hispanic is not a race, it's a culture based on the mixture of black, white, asian and native indian cultures, with as language spanish or portuguese (wich are both a mixture of latin, old germanic languages and arab) and originated in the etnic melting pot that the continent of south america is. For a lot of hispanic ppl it's hard to see their etnic origin due to the mixture, that's why they profile as hispanic.

but don't worry, the same is happening here in europe and in big parts of the rest of the world. Race mixing and multiculturality is getting the world standard, and i like it mostly. I'm a Belgian from French/German/Jewish origin and my last girlfriend was a Roma (nomadic indian tribes, often called gypsies by whites) and my future girl may be something else, we will see...
