Calle 13 (Explicit Version)

If you are into urban music, quick and clever rhymes and just good booty shaking music then you will love this CD. You will fall in love with Renee's voice and maybe him... ;)

I think you should get it. Try it. You won't regret it.

I know these two may seem like something new to alot of people, but having lived in Puerto Rico for more than half my life, calle 13 brought back the fondest memories.
Wit, humor, patriotism and provocative lyrics have made them my favorites and brought me back to the genre.

LOVE THEM!!!!!!!!!!!

If you like excitement and a play with words, this is the CD to get. I wish I knew where this cat gets his ideas to put on paper; Rene (Residente, of Calle 13) manages to take you through a colorful, deliciously funky and fun description of life's journey in a very witty way...in your head, just replace images with his rapping and you'll instantly have your own original Salvador Dali painting...very creative! His partner (half brother), "Visitante" is a musical genius..added together, you've got a masterpiece. I'm looking forward to their next.

I love this group and the "explicit lyrics" warning does NOT apply to all of the songs. I was very pleased with this CD and the artistic talents of this group.

i hadn't even heard of "reggaeton" until my girl played this for me. reggaeton whatever though, this fool has flow. i caught spanish pretty quickly in school, but i can't begin to understand 98% of what he's saying at all. my girl is fluent in spanish, and she still has a hell of a time getting through the heavy puerto rican slang, but that's it... the complaining part of the review is over.

just listening to the sets of syllables that are tied together, along with great breath control, not to mention a pretty melodic voice for a rapper (without being annoying), it's obvious that he's got some talent on the mic. add to that the fact that every one of the beats are straight slappers, and you've got yourself one hell of an album to rock out to, at the house with some bottles, or smashing down some backroads. i'm a white guy into clever, witty and lyrically complex hip-hop, so i wonder how much more hate i could get for jumping on this "reggaeton" deal, but i would mos def (not the rapper) pump this at a club, house party or just smashing on the road.

bottom line, if his lyrics are actually as sick over the killer beats as they sound, you should add another star to this review.

the puffy skit is great too. stop the watered down pop-rap!
