This review is from: Straight Outta Puerto Rico: Reggaeton's Rough Road to Glory (DVD)

Bought this video expecting to see alot more. Thought it was similar to a movie, but it more felt like the news. Don't know if it worth to buy and keep in your collection. Maybe a rental would be more suitable.

This review is from: Straight Outta Puerto Rico: Reggaeton's Rough Road to Glory (DVD)

This documentary is a lot more factual (full of information) than I expected. I also loved seeing the barrios where many of the reggaeton artists grew up. I've liked reggaeton for a while but it convinced me that I HAVE to actually go to PR to experience it -- I was up until the wee hours of the morning yesterday brainstorming places to stay, flights, etc. for an upcoming trip!

This review is from: Straight Outta Puerto Rico: Reggaeton's Rough Road to Glory (DVD)

This dvd was informative and interesting. I bought this dvd because I thought it would include interviews with the artists listed on the cover. I was hoping Ivy Queen would be interviewed. There were several interviews with producers, and DJ's, including Luny Tunes, DJ Negro, DJ Nelson and DJ Playero. The housing project of Villa Kennedy was also shown, DJ Playero also shows viewers where Daddy Yankee was shot. The interview with Luny Tunes was interesting, I did not know they worked at Harvard University in the kitchen,the dvd also included a segment about Vico C,one of the first Latin Rappers. If you don't know much about Reggaeton like myself this dvd will perhaps help you to understand how this genre came about.
