Not many of the old school guys are as big as Daddy Yankee, and I wonder at times why he doesnРІР‚в„ўt work with them or give them work. I wish more current artists did things like this for those who came up before or with them.

They are pioneers in this game, so itРІР‚в„ўs dope that heРІР‚в„ўs looking out for him. Snow and Yankee have been around since the early 90s. It should be noted, I havenРІР‚в„ўt heard a damn thing from Snow in a very long time, so IРІР‚в„ўm sure heРІР‚в„ўs grateful to Daddy Yankee for this attempt at reviving his career. Look at how much music has been sampled over the years. But then again, itРІР‚в„ўs been going on like crazy with other genres too. ItРІР‚в„ўs the same fucking song.Р”Р„gain, IРІР‚в„ўm not hating, but just like movies, artists are rebooting music like crazy. Listen again to РІР‚СљInformerРІР‚Сњ by Snow, then listen to РІР‚СљCon CalmaРІР‚Сњ by Daddy Yankee featuring Snow. But just cause I love it, doesnРІР‚в„ўt mean I wonРІР‚в„ўt admit what it is.

I mean, you could play the songs side by side and it would be identical, except for the words and language.Р”Р„gain, IРІР‚в„ўm not hating, I love, love, love those old school Playero mixes, and I still listen to them. IРІР‚в„ўve been bumping those joints IРІР‚в„ўm talking about since the late 80s and early 90s! But even then, much to the displeasure of my Puerto Rican friends, I was honest about calling them out on their lack of originality in creating music. Yes, I know, Snow is a white dude, IРІР‚в„ўm just having a hard time finding solo versions of other songs like this original which was reworked into a Reggaeton song.Р”ВonРІР‚в„ўt get me wrong, IРІР‚в„ўm not hating, I fucking love Reggaeton music a lot. But listen and get at least to the hook.Р”В«ack then, and even now as is obviously evident here, guys like Daddy Yankee were basically taking songs by Jamaican artist like Papa San (look at the names) and reworking them into Spanish songs. Bro, come on man, thatРІР‚в„ўs his song reworked. Featuring the original freaking artist who made song! LOL. Take a look at this new video by Daddy Yankee РІР‚СљfeaturingРІР‚Сњ Snow. Granted, there were some artists like Vico C who I think where creating original music, but what really took off and got the genre super popular were the Underground Mix tapes, especially those by DJ Playero. If you listened to reggae music back in the days, you knew way back when where Reggaeton was coming from, reggae. Nowadays you have guys like Bad Bunny who make original songs, but those of us who have been around just a little bit longer know whatРІР‚в„ўs up. A lot of the younger generation is not aware of how Reggaeton music came to be.

Con calma original song
