3029018, I don't see the appeal of reggaeton

I feel like the old rock musicians who clowned on hip hop for lacking artistry.

I feel bad about thinking this but every reggaeton song has the exact same beat to my untrained ears.

I'm sure my appreciation would improve if I knew Spanish.

I don't feel this way now but for the longest, I thought Premier and Pete Rock were overrated.

It turned out I just hadn't heard enough of their music back in the late '90's. Spotify's been great for hipping me to their back catalog and I have to say that even though their golden age (back in the mid to late 90's) has passed, they have aged really well and have put out quality music over a long time.

I think Big Boi out-rapped Andre on Stankonia. Or at least I appreciate Big's performance on that album more than I did on the group's first three.
