If the reggaeton revolution slowed for a second and you're not sure why, consider the comings and goings of Daddy Yankee: Three years have passed since he lit a Latino fire under the non-Latino world with "Gasolina," and despite the best efforts of vast clusters of tough-talking, body-rocking followers, only he, apparently, can keep it stoked. El Cartel: The Big Boss is a 21-track thrill ride destined to restore reggaeton's lost luster. The first few minutes creak--as intros go, "Jefe" is on the longwinded side--but from there it's a riot of bump-bumps, nemesis-bashing, and quick-tongued braggadocio. All credit to DY for again climbing atop a swirling mass of beats and remembering to swagger appealingly on the way up, but the small army of producers and friends who line up to pay the big boss respects on this disc also deserve their props: Fergie makes an impact on the Scott Storch-produced "Impacto" without forcing it in an overly mainstream direction, "Papi Lover" with Pussycat Doll Nicole Sherzinger busts out a cool bhangra-ragga vibe, and Will.i.am winds up "Plane to PR," a slight but contagious ode to Caribbean senoritas, tight. --Tammy La Gorce

Album Description

THE KING OF REGGAETON, DADDY YANKEE, returns with his new album "El Cartel: The Big Boss". After international platinum success with his first 4 albums, Daddy Yankee released, "El Barrio Fino", which went PLATINUM in the U.S alone, and solidified himself as the leading pioneer of the reggaeton movement. "El Cartel: The Big Boss" is the follow-up studio album everybody has been waiting 3 years for. Having enlisted super-producers such as will.i.am and Scott Storch, Daddy Yankee more than lives up to the hype and delivers his most multi-dimensional and complete album to date.

3 out of 5 stars Crossover to the American Market Gone Wrong.......2007-07-20

I've always liked Daddy Yankee, since I think he's the best latin reggaeton artist there is right now... but this album was almost like him fighting his roots, since he includes many famous singers (which none has to do anything with latin music), which is something that makes you wonder... for what market was this album really released for... something that makes me mad... since he's famous because of his latin crowd.. not the american one (and he sings reggaeton.. he's not a rapper)

Now speaking of the songs in the album... most of the reggaeton songs are good (except the one with Héctor "El Father", because it sounds like the beat was made in a bathroom with a leaking pipe), they are a little different than the songs we're used to... since the dembow(reggaeton beat) has changed.. and it's too similar to hip-hop (most of the album ), with slowed down rythms. I personally hated all of the hip hop songs in the album (since as I stated before, he's a reggaeton artist)since they sound to be directed to the american audience and not his true fans...

I just hope that's his next album goes back to his real roots... and that in his songs... he stops mentioning that he's awesome

5 out of 5 stars The Big Boss.......2007-07-20

Daddy Yankee has done it again. I have not been able to quit listening to this cd since I recieved it. The music is infectious.

5 out of 5 stars The unbiased opinion of an biased fan.......2007-07-14

I've spent the last 3 days listening to El Cartel: The Big Boss, and I'm happy to report that Daddy Yankee's latest is actually very good. Back track- I picked up Barrio Fino about this time in '05, and truthfully, it took about 3 months to grow on me. Since then, however, it's become one of my all-time favorite CDs, and I still enjoy listening to it. Fast forward- The Big Boss grew on me in about three minutes. What I especially like about the tracks on The Big Boss is the skillful way that DY experiments sound but somehow manages to stay true to his reggaeton roots. The CD doesn't try to be too hip hop and seems to be tailored to an "American" audience without pandering. I found the blend of English and Spanish languages well thought out, playful, and pleasant. When I hit [REPEAT]- Bring it On, Papi Lover, Plane to P.R., Impacto (sin Fergie), and Me Quedaria. Anyway, as some would say "it's Daddy Yankee, so you know it's going to be good!"

4 out of 5 stars Daddy Yankee has done it again.......2007-07-08

El Cartel is a hot cd. It has a different flavor of reggaeton that makes you want to dance endlessly. Impacto of course is the most bangin' track on the cd. Some of the tracks are in English, which allows the non Spanish speaking audience the opportunity to truly appreciate this genre of music and Daddy Yankee's extreme talent. As Daddy Yankee says the King is back!

5 out of 5 stars THE KING IS BACK.......2007-07-07

Excellent, just excellent. This is a new age of Reggaeton.
Almost every song is brilliant with right words.
Hope You gonna like it like I do.

4 out of 5 stars This album is just perfect a true Reggaeton Album.......2007-07-20

As we all know, this is the first solo effort for Zion, and a really good effort by the way... in this review I'll speak individually about every song on the album..

1- Zun Dada: Just awesome... it presents a wacky beat that is just perfectly made to blend with Zion's voice, it's a romantic song that mixes strings hi-hats and reggaeton 9/10

2- Abre La Puerta ... I don't really like that song it's just boring and it says the same thing over and over again 4/10

3- The Way She Moves... It's a good song that features Akon (he's everywhere :P), which presents a luring beat... but tends to be repetitive as well 7/10

4- Amor de Pobre... I just love this song... I think it's the best song of this entire album... it features Eddie Dee, and mixes reggaeton with vallenato in a perfect way.. that tells us about his willing to please his love even though he's poor 10/10

5-Oh Mami.... Yuck... i just hate it.. it's boring and it's like a 3 min+ whining by zion 1/10

6- Hagamos El Amor... Plain old boring... with a really really slow beat and dumb lyrics 2/10

7- Besame... Boring... the bases of this song are 3 words... 3/10
8-Your Body... Good duet featuring De la Ghetto (weird name).. which even though it has repetitive lyrics (her body is on fire), presents a cool beat that is original 7/10

9- Te Vas... It's a really slow song (nothing new... just a semi ballad that is just bad) 2/10

10- Cuarto Nivel..... It's a level of nothingness unknown for humans.. this song talks about how they're above everything and do things differently... 2/10

11- Money... a typical hip-hop with an r&b mix that talks about his richness.. and that people want to shine with him... 1/10

12- La Neta... I've never understood this song... it talks about something that's the end... but it mixes love... and weird lyrics about how cool the song is... but I really like the cumbia beat so... 8/10

13-Amor... A slow song that presents really good lyrics by Zion that tells us about what would he do with his loved one... 8/10

14- Periodico de Ayer... Weird song that presents us about how Zion dealt with the pain caused by his ex... 3/10

15-Fantasma... A cool song that tells us about Zion's misfortune with love... and that his girlfriend always worries him by coming and going, without telling him.... 7/10

Well at the end of the review I can say that Zion is one of the best romantic based reggaeton singers out there... that makes people know that reggaeton isn't just about being rich and cool and famous... and he presents us lyrics that we can all relate to.

4 out of 5 stars Good cd.......2007-07-20

I personally like the first song a lot zun da da.. (what it means ..i dont know) but is sounds good.. after that some good songs ...amor de pobre, amor , the way she moves, and fantasma..

5 out of 5 stars Trabajo de Equipo.......2007-06-18

Indiscutiblemente que la excelente terminación de este trabajo, a parte del gran esfuerzo de Zion Baby, depende del excelente equipo de gente que trabajo en este proyecto. Esta producción vale la pena tenerla.

5 out of 5 stars La Melodia Perfecta - 4.5 estrellas en realidad........2007-06-15

Zion nos trae su primer solo album "Perfect Melody". En realidad su melodia si es perfecta. Casimente todas las canciones en este album son clasicas (buenisimas), solo hay dos canciones que no me gustan mucho y esas son: Besame y Cuarta Nivel.

La mejor cancion del album entero es Amor De Pobre, esa cancion si que esta encendia, te la comiste ahi ZION.

En conclusion, este CD ta clasico, se lo recomiendo a cualquier persona.

Cuidense my gente y pa'lante los latinos.

2 out of 5 stars Eh...?.......2007-06-13

Being a fan of Zion y Lennox, and Zion himself, I was really stoked for the release of his album. Sadly, I didn't think much of it. There are just a handful of songs that are worth listening to. A handful. The rest are not even worth listening. 'Money' made me cringe. A lot.

I'm very disappointed. I expected a lot better.

5 out of 5 stars More great Motown .......2007-06-24

As a native Detroiter (not the suburbs baby!) and a teen of the 60s, I feel really protective of Motown and Motown music. When I heard of this Latin remix I groaned, but thought I'd listen first before throwing up my hands in despair and organizing a mass protest. But, to my surprise, I actually like this remix! There is enough of the orginal beat that I can still sing loudly along and out of tune as I do with the rest of my Motown CDs.

If you are a Motown purist like I am, I don't think you will regret buying this latest remix.

1 out of 5 stars A Mix Too Far.......2007-05-27

I'm a child of the 50's who grew up in the '60's with the 'Sound Of Young America" so generally I don't take too kindly to masterpieces being remixed! However there are a few exceptions like "Stoned Love" on "Motown Remixed Vol 1" and the brilliant remix of Marvin & Tammi's "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" on the new "Ashford and Simpson Songbook" but these are rare occurrences. IMHO there is no excuse for the total lack of respect for the classic tracks which have been completely destroyed in this latest volume which I sincerely hope will be the last. To me it's a bit like someone putting a wig & false nose on the Mona Lisa! It's a gimmick & one that gets my hackles rising as I'm convinced that it's all done for monetary gain and has no artistic merit whatsoever. "Motown Remixed Vol 2" has a Latin theme and to be honest there's only a couple of tracks that sound as though they weren't remixed by Humboldt Bear & PJ! What's next I wonder; heavy metal Motown, the punk side of Motown or Motown goes country? The mind boggles. OK now that I've got that off my chest I'll go back & lie down in a darkened room whilst listening to some plain, ordinary, natural, unmixed Motown. I suggest that you all do the same.

5 out of 5 stars Finally-Remixes That Really Make Sense.......2007-05-23

Naturally when I first heard about the Motown Remixed project I was expecting yet another in a long line of remix albums featuring housy dance mixes.I was very enthusiastic to find the truth that a lot of respect was given to the Motor City classics on the first remix volume,which I heard but do not own.So needless to say I bought this.Vol.2 is a very different kind of musical affair-it takes songs like "Shotgun","Love Is Like A Heatwave","Don't Look Any Further" and even Diana Ross's disco hit "The Boss" and gives them a strong latin feel,complete with hot horns,salsa beats and in most cases alterations of the tempo.The original vocals,especially in the case of The Tempts "Papa Was A Rolling Stone" were sped up a bit to accomodate the quicker tempo-and this is a song covered by so many different people (and is usually done purely by rote to) over the years.The Jackson 5's "I Want You Back" is the only song here that actually keeps some of the orginal music intact,just accentuating the drums and adding more horns.On the other side of the coin "Dancing Machine" is presented drastically reworked into a frantic dance-salsa tempo.Only Marvin Gaye's "I Heard It Through The Grape Vine" has any trace of a typical house oriented remix but it's done in such as different way one won't even notice.On the most interesing note Smokey's "Being With You" is presented in a spanish language version called "Aqui Con Tigo",which I have never heard before,adding to the latin and hispanic theme of these remixes.That flavor gives these remixes the party atmosphere that permeated classic Motown and actually goes with the feeling of these songs very well.For any fan or Motown,especially one also interested in latin rhythms,or anyone interested in great songs done in a great way this collection will definately brighten your day.

4 out of 5 stars Motown Remixed Vol. 2: 'Latin' Mixes.......2007-05-23

Since some of my most beloved Motown tracks are featured on the album, so I snapped this album up immediately. What I like about the Motown Remixed series is that the mixes are (for the most part) very respectful of the originals. The songs are changed up quite a bit, but the original structure and melody is not too far away. Whether or not the Latin sound is your sound, there are still enough bright spots on this album to make it worthy of a listen.

Highlights:

'Shotgun' really benefits from the Latin treatment, which smoothly integrates the sax and organ of the original with a Latin steel drum beat. The addition of the Latin flavor to the Motown sound also works well for 'Dancing Machine'. The new mix really swings with an added brass arrangement. The best parts of the song (Michael's first verses, the instrumental breakdown) are drawn out and repeated (the instrumental breakdown has a really Latin flavor, who knew?) and the instrumental build-up behind Jermaine's lines is an excellent touch. The Andres Levin mix of 'I Heard It Through the Grapevine' is the crowning glory of the album. Marvin's vocals are front and center, as they should be, and they are perfectly complemented by the mix, which features a piano track. It's absolute alchemy! It reminds me of the genius of a Freemasons remix. Another solid track is the mix of the Spanish-language version of 'Being With You'. The trademark saxophone of the original is omitted, but Smokey's always-brilliant vocals are placed over layers of bongos and strings, creating a slightly more (just slightly, though) uptempo sound than the original.

Lowlights:

The 'The Boss' mix is dreadful...the mix strips the original instrumentation and is very salsa/tango music with a hint of reggae, which is fine, but paired with Diana's vocals all the drama of the song is zapped. And if you've heard 'The Boss,' it is ALL ABOUT the drama. All that is lost in this mix, unfortunately. There's something about the key of the original vocals and the key of new mix that doesn't match well at all. Not to mention that her vocals are too muddled. A bit of a disaster. Both the David Elizondo mixes (of 'Heat Wave' and 'Papa Was A Rolling Stone') have a reggae sound as well, and I'm not a huge fan of reggae so naturally I'm a bit predisposed against them. It works much better for 'Heat Wave,' but neither track is one I plan on listening to again.

In the middle:

The SPK mix of 'I Want You Back' is very subtle, to the point where I might have to take a minute before realizing it's a mix. If I want to hear the original, I've already got it. The mix of 'I Can't Get Next To You' is subtle but slightly less so...it attempts to add drama with an extra drumbeat and a rock guitar sound, and the breakdown is mixed. But the original already had drama with the frantic passing around of the vocals, and the original beat complemented it perfectly. This mix seems to be a bit overkill. The 'Square Biz' mix is very calypso flavored and fun, but Teena Marie's vocals are slightly overpowered by the instrumental track. And the original 'Don't Look Any Further' has a bit of a Latin/reggae feel, which ironically is stripped a bit for the new mix. A folky-Latin guitar arrangement is added, and it has a bit more of a downtempo sound. I prefer the original but this version is quality (it would have been much more fitting on the first Motown Remixed album).

So, 3.5 stars (rounded up to 4) for a solid remix album. Regarding the series in general, I do wish that instead of themes, the Motown Remixed series would focus on compiling the best Motown remixes out there, regardless of style. And I wish the series would come out more often than once every two years! Remixes of Motown tracks are constantly hitting the clubs, so there's no shortage of material.

This soundtrack serves up a collision of musical styles, as if the coolest radio stations of Tokyo and New York had suddenly melded into a giant hybrid. The Teriyaki Boyz' opening title track is typical: brilliant production by the Neptunes, East-meets-West mood, more hipness than you can shake a stick at. The Japanese hip-hop group's other offering here, "Cho Large," isn't quite as good but fortunately it's the rare lame-ish track on a CD that overall keeps things on overdrive. Highlights include DJ Shadow's collaboration with Mos Def, "Six Days (Remix)"; Japanese girl surf experts 5.6.7.8's (already familiar to Kill Bill fans) and their uproarious "The Barracuda"; Evil Nine's "Restless," which has the kind of monstrous bass line the Chemical Brothers would kill for; and Atari Teenage Riot's awesome display of digital-hardcore aggro, "Speed" (have these guys ever been used in Dance Dance Revolution?). Even a reggaeton track like Don Omar's "Conteo" somehow fits in this universe, fueled as much by gasoline as by testosterone. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

3 out of 5 stars *** if you've seen the movie, but some songs missing.......2007-06-18

I wouldn't have bought this without having had the sentimental attachment that goes with associating the songs with scenes from the movie [which isn't exactly Gone With The Wind, but the acting is great (albeit hokey at times); the action non-stop, the stunts amazing and the big "message" (aside from achieving it via mass casualties) is good.].
Unfortunately, like the other reviewers, I'm bummed that some of my favorite songs weren't included in the soundtrack. Which brings me to the real reason for posting here: Does anyone know the name of the song that is playing when Shawn arrives in Tokyo?

4 out of 5 stars If you liked the movie..........2007-06-10

...you'll definitely like the soundtrack. A few songs that were in the movie got left out as you can tell by previous reviews which is why it gets a 4.

What is the name of the song that is playing when the credits start to roll? It's a techno song and the lyrics I can hear are, "I rock, irock, irock, iroll..iroll..iroll, i rock i roll

3 out of 5 stars Decent..........2007-05-08

This soundtrack is pretty good except for one flaw that many other soundtracks tend to have, as well. They put tracks on the CD that you really don't hear too much in the movie, and the cool songs that you like and hear in the movie aren't on the soundtrack. Like what was the deal with the Spanish songs? The movie takes place in TOKYO! That's Japan for anybody who is geographically challenged. Why is Spanish music in an American/Japanese soundtrack? I would much rather have replaced those songs by Kid Rock or the Whisper Song that you hear in the movie, but they just so happened to leave them out.

4 out of 5 stars whats that song?.......2007-05-03

What is the song at the very end at the start of the credits right before "conteo" by don omar starts. It only plays for like 5-10 seconds, then it cuts off and don omar butts in, but the song is much longer. It goes something like, I rock (echo), I roll (echo). It is a techno song.

5 out of 5 stars Great Movie, Cool Tracks!.......2007-04-10

I'm not under 13, but the movie was tight and action packed. The sound track from the movie was great as well. One song most of you might not know about, was when Shawn and Han was riding together on the highway was called Mamacita by the one and only Skateboard P known as Pharrell. Its not on the soundtrack which sucks. But still a great soundtrack to buy.

Residente o Visitante arrives less than two years after Calle 13 busted out of reggaeton's oft-repetitive confines with its searing debut disc. But instead of playing it safe, the dynamic duo of Rene Perez and Eduardo Cabra fly further outside the safe zone. Residente o Visitante is dirtier and more diverse than its predecessor, typified by the jaw-dropping intro. It's a solemn chorus of voices simply repeating Spanish expletives. From there, the disc explores political struggle, carnal desire, and the trappings of fame--all anchored by Calle 13's razor-sharp sense of humor. Tango, lounge grooves, and cumbia rhythms collide with reggaeton in ways that shouldn't work, but do so wonderfully. The standout track "Mala Suerte Con el 13" is a dysfunctional duet with Mala Rodriguez that turns love-song cliches upside down--and slaps them on the behind. You'll need to take a shower after the first listen--and immediately put it on repeat. --Joey Guerra

Estos muchachos no van a trascender en el tiempo con esa forma tan explicita. Por ahora les funciona, vermos cuanto más.

5 out of 5 stars Best release of the year...English or Spanish........2007-06-05

If they knew that the follow up album would be so good, they would've given them 5 Grammy awards. This is what music should be. Most people sell out with their second release but Calle 13 have evolved. They made something that was great, greater. With that I'll say that this is not reggaeton, this is music.

Visitante's beats are really something else, well executed and extremely original. You have to be dead, in order to keep still while listening. Residente's lyrics are brutally honest and funny, there's nothing that escapes his imagination, a total mushroom trip.

Standout songs, even though you won't skip any of them, are :
"La Era De la Copiaera" I don't know who his lashing out at but it's beautifully hilarious.
"Me Voy pal Norte" Featuring Orishas, a harmonious union, between the two best talents, in the spanish speaking, urban music scene right now. Socially Conscious once again.
"Cumbia de los Aburridos" and "Uiyi Guaye" these are simply funny and great to dance to.
Don't miss this album...it'll be like missing your birthday.

5 out of 5 stars Calle 13 is genius........2007-05-20

Calle 13's newest album, Residente o Visitante is a huge step since their first self titled album. A little more darker, it is much more lyrically and politically focused. With collaborations from many artists, Calle 13 continues to break the mold for latin artists. Some upbeat, Reggaeton songs, and some slower songs that don't fall into the reggaeton category. All in all, an amazing CD that will awe you with it's inspiring beats.

5 out of 5 stars Can u take some sarcasm? here u got it in a great urban, ghetto poetic way........2007-05-12

WOW!!!!! I do have to say it. Exelent CD, A latin urban CD like no other. Lyrics are amazing, so poatics, full of sarcasm. Its like little stories. Residente have a great power when he signs... It so poetic as it is vulgar. They have some social content too. Pal' Norte its a call for freedom, a story about mexican inmigrants... great piece. Music is orgasmic.

4 out of 5 stars A real different cd.......2007-05-04

This album is very different and great in beats but it's not as good as the first one. It doesnt have a real good reggaeton beat like Sandwich de Salchicha, Esto Va Suave or Atreve te te, (I dont know if those are the titles, but you get the idea). But overall is real good, cafre, sucio, mal hablao y malcriao but the lyrics are very original and different. You have to have a very open mind. But again he should have had more seductive reggaeton songs.

Give Daddy Yankee some credit for making Barrio Fino En Directo more than just a slapdash cash-in on his widepsread appeal. Fans will surely be appeased by this lush collection as they await the reggaeton superstar's proper follow-up to 2004's double-platinum Barrio Fino disc. The En Directo CD/DVD package isn't really a formal live disc, and it isn't a standard hits collection. Rather, it's a clever hybrid of past chart-toppers, in-concert moments, solid new tunes and slick documentary footage. The CD features energetic versions of "Corazones," "Lo Que Paso, Paso" and the ubiquitous "Gasolina" recorded at different stops throughout Daddy Yankee's monstrous live tour. There are also five new tracks, including the fist-pumping "Rompe" and collaborations with Snoop Dogg (the tongue-tripping "Gangsta Zone") and Houston-based rapper Paul Wall (slinky standout track "Machete Reloaded"). The new tracks further highlight Daddy Yankee's effortless medling of urban Latino rhythms and U.S. hip-hop beats. The accompanying DVD is stuffed with interesting moments, including a few live performances, a video for the socially conscious "Corazones," and a Q&A session featuring Daddy Yankee's takes on fame, family, retirement and rival Don Omar. There's also a trailer for the Spanish-language film "Talento de Barrio," which aspires to be DY's own version of Eminem's acclaimed "8 Mile" sprinkled with some of John Singleton's "Boys N the Hood." Given Daddy Yankee's track record thus far, expect to see it burning up the big screen very soon. --Joey Guerra

Album Description

Barrio Fino En Directo is a CD/DVD packed with exciting new collaborations, behind-the-scenes footage, exclusive interviews, and live performances that reaffirm Yankee's title as the undisputed King of Reggaeton. The eagerly anticipated 16-song collection includes live renditions of hits like "Lo Que Paso, Paso," "Corazones," and the international phenomenon "Gasolina," as well as five new tracks produced by musical masterminds DJ Urba & Monserrate and rising star Sammy Fisher, among others. The first single, "Rompe," is quickly taking the airwaves by storm, beginning to tally up radio spins. The four other new songs on the album include "Gangsta Zone," featuring Hip-Hop icon Snoop Dogg; a remix of the club anthem "Machete" featuring Houston's latest sensation, Paul Wall; and the infectious "Machucando" and "El Truco".

The Barrio Fino En Directo DVD, directed by Carlos Perez, includes over sixty minutes of never-before-seen footage. Viewers can enjoy Yankee's energetic performance at his sold-out concert in Puerto Rico's Coliseo de Puerto Rico Jose Miguel Agrelot and also follow the artist around the globe during his extensive world tour. Other DVD features include an in-depth interview with the reggaeton pioneer, a music video for the song "Corazones," and extensive behind-the-scenes footage that will shed new light on Yankee's charismatic personality, rigorous schedule, dedicated work ethic and unique creative process.

Daddy Yankee is arguably the most recognized Reggaeton artist and for a reason.

Buy this CD, it's amazing. It really needs no explanation.

4 out of 5 stars great album/DVD!!.......2006-04-02

You can really feel the crowd erupt at the beginning of "king daddy" as he tells all the "Boricuas" to raise their arms! For me, even though I'm not fluent in spanish, you can still get the energy that he evokes from the crowd. It's on my workout playlist on my IPOD. The DVD is great as well, especially the interview. If you already have Barrio Fino, then En directo is a great addition!!

5 out of 5 stars One of Wyclef's Greatest works.......2007-05-19

This album is probably one of the best albums I have heard in a long time. It tells some of Haiti's history and gives alot of respect to the rest of Carribean. It reveals Haiti's proud history of Independence.Dieu vous bénit Wyclef. Bonjour le Pacifique du sud. Ceci est un grand cd. Great CD.

5 out of 5 stars Love Wyclef.......2007-04-15

I loved the fugees and love wyclef. His albums always have the carribean flavor. Must have in the collection it is a classic.

4 out of 5 stars Bon Bagay!.......2006-03-20

This is a great CD for anyone who love Caribbean music, especially Konpa Kreyol. Se yon bon bagay ke li ye. Li gen bon mizik ladan.

5 out of 5 stars Love It!!!!!!.......2006-02-23

I love this cd. It's upbeat and fun. I listen to it everyday. I hope he puts out another cd in this same style. My favorite song is President but Fistibal festival is a close second. There's not a song on here that I don't like. I highly recommend this cd.

5 out of 5 stars Great WORLD album.......2005-12-16

This is quite possibly my favorite album ever. It doesn't fit in with Wyclef's past rap and hip-hop albums, but it is an excellent world/carribean cd. I especially like Bicentennial. If you want to have an uplifting album with great flow, buy this one. I believe that Wyclef should continue both with this carribean and his rap as well.

The music of Puerto Rican outfit Calle 13 simmers like so much sweat on the backs of b-boys and fly girls, twisting and turning its way through the cracks and crevices of modern urban music. Calle 13's dynamic duo--half-brothers Rene Perez and Eduardo Cabra--are smart, shocking, and silly. It's a thrilling combination that makes for some hip-swiveling, head-turning sounds. Standout tracks "La Hormiga Brava," "Vamo Animal," and the rocket-fueled single "Atrévete-te-te" careen between street sounds and lush Latin rhythms, anchored by the group's mischievous sense of humor. Reggaeton is the label that's been slapped on this inspired hybrid, but Calle 13 is light years beyond that often stifling genre (which explains recent collaborations with Nelly Furtado and Alejandro Sanz). Latin rap riffs, new-wave keyboards, and a sprinkling of pop smarts chart a musical path (and crash together during "Sin Coro") that Calle 13 will likely lead--and veer from--in the near future. --Joey Guerra

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Nostalgic for me!!!.......2007-05-21

I know these two may seem like something new to alot of people, but having lived in Puerto Rico for more than half my life, calle 13 brought back the fondest memories.
Wit, humor, patriotism and provocative lyrics have made them my favorites and brought me back to the genre.

LOVE THEM!!!!!!!!!!!

5 out of 5 stars Rapping like Salvador Dali would paint..........2007-05-12

If you like excitement and a play with words, this is the CD to get. I wish I knew where this cat gets his ideas to put on paper; Rene (Residente, of Calle 13) manages to take you through a colorful, deliciously funky and fun description of life's journey in a very witty way...in your head, just replace images with his rapping and you'll instantly have your own original Salvador Dali painting...very creative! His partner (half brother), "Visitante" is a musical genius..added together, you've got a masterpiece. I'm looking forward to their next.

5 out of 5 stars New sounds and a different spin of latino flava'.......2007-05-11

I love this group and the "explicit lyrics" warning does NOT apply to all of the songs. I was very pleased with this CD and the artistic talents of this group.

4 out of 5 stars damn good cd.......2007-04-20

i hadn't even heard of "reggaeton" until my girl played this for me. reggaeton whatever though, this fool has flow. i caught spanish pretty quickly in school, but i can't begin to understand 98% of what he's saying at all. my girl is fluent in spanish, and she still has a hell of a time getting through the heavy puerto rican slang, but that's it... the complaining part of the review is over.

just listening to the sets of syllables that are tied together, along with great breath control, not to mention a pretty melodic voice for a rapper (without being annoying), it's obvious that he's got some talent on the mic. add to that the fact that every one of the beats are straight slappers, and you've got yourself one hell of an album to rock out to, at the house with some bottles, or smashing down some backroads. i'm a white guy into clever, witty and lyrically complex hip-hop, so i wonder how much more hate i could get for jumping on this "reggaeton" deal, but i would mos def (not the rapper) pump this at a club, house party or just smashing on the road.

bottom line, if his lyrics are actually as sick over the killer beats as they sound, you should add another star to this review.

the puffy skit is great too. stop the watered down pop-rap!

2 out of 5 stars wtf.......2007-03-13

The self-aggrandizing title and cover art may indicate otherwise, but Don Omar's King of Kings isn't your average reggaeton mash-up. Most genre stars (Daddy Yankee, Voltio, Wisin & Yandel) diffuse their heady personas with weak vocals, insipid lyrics, and repetitive arrangements. Omar, however, is an entirely different animal. King of Kings is a dark, adventurous journey through reggaeton, supplemented by surprising rhythms and a careful selection of collaborators. Hip-hop violinist Miri Ben-Ari adds urban elegance to "Intro-Predica," and Juelz Santana brings a genuine grit to "Conteo." King of Kings also finds Omar experimenting with creative variations on the reggaeton sound. "Ojitos Chiquitos" benefits from a moody Middle Eastern vibe, and "Cuentale" soars via a start-stop salsa hybrid. Omar slows things down during "Tu No Sabes," a piano-driven tale of heartbreak; and "Candela" incorporates reggaeton beats into a searing rock arrangement. Omar's former life as a preacher has obviously influenced his lyrics (which touch on religion, love, and life's hardships), but it's also given him a heady, passionate approach to music. There are lighter moments of standard reggaeton and dance hall, but even those simmer with intensity. Omar's vocals aren't always strong--particularly during the slower moments--but King of Kings stands tall amid so many throwaway reggaeton releases. We'll allow him a few moments of boastful frivolity. --Joey Guerra

Album Description

King of Kings is building on the impressive foundation set by Don Omar's previous albums, "The Last Don" and "The Last Don Live".

King of Kings does feature its share of ballads, like "Muñecas," "Tu No Sabes," "Angelitos," and "Infieles." But that doesn't mean that Don Omar stops rocking out to reggaetón's eductive dance rhythm and Bachata Fixation with hard-driving tracks like "Conteo, "Bailando Sola" and Cuentale get you bumping and dancing across the dance floor. The album also includes collaborations MCs Juelz Santana, Beanie Man, and Zion.

King of Kings parte de la base sólida de "The Last Don" y "The Last Don Live".

King of Kings sí contiene una buena cantidad de boleros, como "Muñecas," "Tu No Sabes," "Angelitos," e "Infieles." Pero eso no quiere decir que Don Omar dejó de utilizar el ritmo seductivo y bailable del reggaetón y su obsesion con la bachata. Temas fuertes como "Conteo" y "Bailando Sola" y Cuentale hacen menear y sandunguear en la pista de baile. El disco también incluye colaboraciones con raperos como Juelz Santana, Beanie Man, y Zion.

Don Omar as always shines in this cd, he is one of the best reggeaton singers right now, some of the best songs that this cd have are "conteo", "bailando sola" and "reportense".

if you are a real reggeaton fan then you should add this cd to your collection, this is a must buy.

I love this guys music and I met him! He is cool. At first I wasnt sure of this album but I now cant get it outa my car. considering Im only just beggining to learn spanish so dont understand teh lyrics, I am addicted to this spanish regaetton music! The beats on this album are all very different and some I found are more catchier and better to dance to than others but all in all its a great album. Look forward to another one coming out...........

2 out of 5 stars I'm sorry - I just dont get it.......2006-09-20

I listened to this after listening to "The Last Don". I just dont see what the critics and masses are seeing. It seems like Don is holding back at times and then being overly experimental at other times. I found him leaning towards rap, which is unfortunate. Someone needs to tell him that rap is fading quickly from the pop charts and that all rappers are trying to jump on the Reggaeton craze. Don Omar seems to be going the wrong way.

Nothing on this compares to "Dale Don Dale" or "Pobre Diablo".

This just seems like a lot of talent wasted. In this case, "Angelito Vuela" is not the tip of the iceberg - it is the whole iceberg. Buy the song if you like it, but beware.

Recommend: his last album first and then Pa'l Mundo from Wisin & Yandel or Ivy Queen's Flashback.

I have no doubt Don Omar can be the king of Reggaeton once again, but this will set him back a little.

4 out of 5 stars IS GOOOOOOD!!.......2006-09-13

When i first bought it, i didnt know what to expect, i had not heard them b4. Once i heard the album, is good, is VERY GOOD! Don Omar still got it, and this album proves he is the King of Kings.
It might not be the best album of the year, but is up there. Top 5, easy!
