Whereas one of hip-hop's great innovations is the myriad of aggressive, quirky, slick etc etc beats that can define a mood without a traditional melody instrument over it, it seems (IMHO) like reggeton is a step backwards musically. The SAME beat, OVER and OVER... I can't imagine the albums... song after song with the same beat, its like a nightmare!
I live in a puerto rican neighborhood and its blasting out of every car and intrudes thru my closed apt. windows.
please save me... or at least kill me...
ALL that said... the reggeton beat itself is somehow very catchy, just tapping it out with your fingers just feels... good!
