Reggaeton

Imagine Rap raped Reggae and they had a retarded child, that's more or less what Reggaeton is, it is also the source of most of the social and cultural problems of latin america and and the only way stupid bad boys can be rich legally without going to school.

It's dance is, in a few words, raping a woman wih your clothes on.

I doubt you will find a positive comment about reggaeton here as the people that listen to it use internet just for downloading music and Facebook.
Reggaeton is the only drug you comsume with the ears.

Raggamuffin Reggae

Raggamuffin reggae is reggae with a hip hop influence. It is more focused on rhythmic sounds and rhyming.
Buju Banton, Tony Rebel, Bounty Killer & Damian Marley (Jr. Gong) are some of my favorite Raggamuffin Reggae artists.

Reegan

A girl who is fierce, feisty and usually a lil' shorty. If anyone crosses her she'll be angry. Most Reegans probably have black belts in karate or are some kind of ninja. Logical thinking, amazing personality and hair always looking sleek. She probably wears the littest ponytails. If you meet a Reegan, never let her go.
Guy: Let's rob a bank
Other Guy: Wait Look it's Reegan!

Reegan: Ninja kick!!!!!
Everybody: AAAHHHHH!!!!! *dies*

Banker: Thanks Reegan you're amazing

reggaeton

Reggaeton is the most popular music in Latin America, as well as a huge youth-based cultural phenomenon. It is not a form of Spanish Reggae, but instead an evolution of the modern Jamaican popular music, called dancehall. Upon listening to both dancehall and reggaeton songs, the similarity becomes obvious. Reggaeton also can draw influences from Merengue, Bachata, Salsa, Vallenato, and House, and combine these forms of music in a new and unique way. It is this mix of different styles found throughout latin america that continues to drive the music forward and keep it from becoming overly repetetive.

Reggaeton is based upon the "Dem-Bow" beat. Though many westerners may critique the music for hoving the same beat in every song, the fact is, this is the same as any form of latin music. Every salsa song has the same rhythm, as does every cumbia, every merengue, etc... Any music intended specifically for dancing, as reggaeton is, will always have the same beat to make it easier and more fun to dance to.

Also, though many reggaeton songs have explicit lyrics, this is only one form of the genre, called "Perreo," which is usually accompanied by a form of grinding which goes by the same name. However, there are other forms of reggaeton: "Bachateo" and "Romantico" are two of the most common, both typically based around love. Reggaeton can be danced fast, slow, in pairs, or even single.

Most reggaeton is based in Puerto Rico, but many productions also come out of the Dominican Republic, Colombia, Panama, and certain parts of the United States (most notably, New York City). The music is extremely popular throughout Latin America, though less so in Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, and Mexico.
Some famous reggaeton artists:

Daddy Yankee is the most famous artist at the moment. His huge hit "Gasolina," was followed by songs such as "Lo Que Paso Paso", "Rompe", "Machucando", and "Mirame." Most of his songs are in the perreo style.

Don Omar sings more emotional songs, often in the "bachateo" style. Some hits are "Pobre Diabla", "Reggaeton Latino", "Dale don Dale", and "Cuentale."

Other famous artists include Wisin y Yandel, Tego Calderon, Zion y Lennox, Tito el Bambino, Hector el Father, Calle 13, Vico C, Ivy Queen, Khriz y Angel, and Rakim y Ken-Y.
