I hate reggeaton, it sucks, i live in venezuela and this place...no all latin america is contaminated with that crap, always the same damn beat and the same sex lyrics. i wish i could cut my ears every time i listen to it
how can you tell that all reggaeton songs have the same beat. i'm very curious since i've heard rumors that it does.caliente_hot
i think its a stupid fad and it needs to die. its killing music (especially spanish music), and i'm tired of hearing the same exact beat over and over (ex: "beat + gunshot sound + motorcycle engine revving + orgy + sex + talking about yourself + resemblence to rap = one pissed off dominican)

i feel your pain. i'm afraid of going back to DR cuz of how polluted the place is with this music. jeez!
It's not exactly the same in every song, but, yeah most of them do have a similar sounding beat. It's called "Dem Bow" and it's what distinguishes reggaeton from the other genres of Latin music. I happen to like it though (reggaeton in general). Plus there's nothing like being at a party dancing to it with a frikitona. ;)
Then you haven't experienced enough rap and hip hop. Hell, some producers have even worked with orchestras to make their music.

Oh believe me I've listened to it enough. I've been living with it around me almost everyday. I know some artists actually innovate and make great rap and hip hop and even reggaeton songs, but MOST of them are too much of the same crap.

Depends on who you listen to. Don Omar has that tango mixed with salsa and reggaeton.
Wisin y Yandel have that same beat in every song.
Rakim y Ken-y are like Magnate, both singers and reggaetoneros.
Ivy Queen has more of a girly type of beat.

still, all of them suck... They're making millions though. Must be doing something right.no, actually people is doing something wrong since they are making those guys rich. Here in Mexico that kind of music is a plague, that crap is always on the radio, so I just listen to my CD's.

I hated it when it first started, but I kind of enjoy listening to it now. And the reason people make them rich is because they too enjoy it. I guess it seems fresh and new compared to whatever else is out there. Don't wory though, in PR the scene just exploded to the point that it was everywhere. But that was like a year or so ago. When I went back to visit there, it had pretty much settled and salsa, merengue and all the others were just as popular as they used to be.

same here. I live in costa rica and i hate it, except for some goood dancing ;)
Well, the "it's all the same crap" talk often comes from people who hate it, and thus don't know how to listen to it. I've honestly no idea what reggaeton sounds like, but try asking an MTV listening person about Metal, I often hear "it's all just dudes screaming all the time, it sucks". Possibly whomever told you that was just as well informed about reggaeton.
But if it's really as horrible as you say, then my respect for a specific person whom I thought had developed a good taste for themselves is going down down down. :P
