llena su tanque de adrenalina cuando escucha reggaeton en la cocina

Some reggaeton mp3s, by request.

A while ago, freakytigger and I discussed how an emergent genre's willingness to magpie up and incorporate well-known pop hooks into itself was probably a major sign of its quality and health. Reggaeton does this spectacularly well, as the mp3s below (sampling Corona, Snap and Deee-Lite respectively) demonstrate:

King Africa - El Ritmo Es Tu Danza
Aldo Ranks - Mueve Mami
Lorna - Papi Chulo...Te Traigo El Mmm

And just for fun, two of the biggest and best reggaeton hits which don't have novelty Eurotechno samples:

Daddy Yankee ft. Pitbull, NORE & Lil Jon - Gasolina (rmx)
Hector y Tito - Baile Morena

See, the thing with these 'hipster' genres is that they're not wilfully obscure or esoteric; they're just pop music, a few years ahead of the curve.

I heart Brooke, but I don't like Lil Jon's annoying yowling over everything. Cut him off "Girlfight" and I'd have given it a 10 on the jukebox that week (instead of an 8).

Several BV tracks would get 10s from me. I'd give "I Want You Dead" about 40 out of 10, too.

Lil Jon's shouting is GREBT not annoying. As I said, no reasoning! His shouting is like the drug-spiked icing on the big rum-soaked cake of crunk, the element which pushes you RIGHT up there.

It makes me want to hurt adorable puppies, that's what.
