Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Reggaeton star Daddy Yankee balances dance music with philosophical tunes on this 21-track CD. The engine driving this collection is the smash single "Gasolina," with its basic reggae beat and its catchy chorus "Dame mas gasolina!" ("Give me more gasoline"). Also highly danceable are "No me Dejes Solo," featuring guest singers Wisin y Yandel, and the English-language pop-reggaeton tune "Like You." But Daddy Yankee also reflects on his barrio on "Salud y Vida" ("Health and Life"), a rap tune that questions society's endless pursuit of material things. Like fellow raggeton artists Tego Calderon, Daddy Yankee admires big-band salsa. Among his influences he counts noted singer Andy Montanez, who guests on the track "Sabor a Melao." Montanez's distinctive gruff vocals add a soulful flavor to the track. --Ramiro Burr

5.0 out of 5 stars I Really Like Daddy Yankee, November 23, 2004

By	Trance Dancer (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

Great CD. I have been following the Spanish Reggae Movement since 1987. It started in Panama with Renato, Gaby and "The Meneaito." In the early 90's the Puerto Rican movement started to develop and has culminated with an explosion of new groups, and tunes both in Spanish and English. Daddy Yankee is one of these fellows that has helped take the movement to a higher plane along with Don Omar, D.J. Nelson, Big Daddy G,. Wicho Phillips, and many other great producers/Artists. I highly recommend this CD as well as product by Alberto Stylee, and for a great remember when package plus a few surprises, I also recommend A NEW CD/DVD OUT FROM MACHETE RECORDS ENTITLED "THE BEGINNING" REGGAETON CLASSICS. WORTH TAKING A LOOK! Amazon catalogue # B000A1ILKK

5.0 out of 5 stars De Seguro el mejor cd del año por ahora, August 20, 2004

By	Yanki (Orlando, FL/Rio Piedras, PR/Cabo Rojo, PR) - See all my reviews

Bueno primero que nada quiero introducirme, soy Yan Carlos Colon aka "Yanki" del Staff de ReggaetonLyrics.com. Pero al punto del mensaje... Compre el cd, aunq ya habia conseguido la version piratiada 5 dias antes de que saliera y en verdad que NO ME ARREPIENTO. Este cd es el mejor cd de lo q va del año y eso esta ya asegurado. El cd contiene 21 tracks, 18 siendo canciones, 2 el intro y outro y un interlude. La calidad de las pistas fueron excelentes. Dj Nelson, Urba, Fido, Monserrate, Luny Tunes y Nelly botaron la bola. El Feat. con Andy Montañez quedo tremendo! Un Duo para la historia tanto como para la Salsa como para el Reggaeton. Yankee como siempre experimentando con diferentes tipos de flows(estilos), siempre cantando con tonadas diferentes. Y lo mas q me impresiono fue que le dio la oportunidad a un novato... abriendole las puertas. Yankee boto la bola del parque con este cd. Se los recomiendo a todo el mundo que apoye el genero.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Tunes, Great Production, February 1, 2005

By	Raul (Denver, Colorado USA) - See all my reviews

Great production, nice tunes, well known Puerto Rican Artist. Yankee is selling alot of albums, and it looks like they are going to push him worldwide. This can only help others to break through. Definite buy. For those of you interested in a history of reggaeton, there is a nice DVD/CD compilation with original tunes entitled Ragga Nacion, available from Amazon.com
