Music reviews of Cartel: The Big Boss
Music Review: Daddy Yankee no es un cantante pa......Daddy Yankee ES UN MOVIMIENTO!!
Rating: 4 Stars
Get Ready Ladies and gentleman to a whole nother round of beef between Don Omar and "DY". I've waited patiently for this album and came out to be decent, but right off the bat you kno Daddy is lookin for fire and adds more wood with his first Track "Jefe." That Track has such a powerful beat and a lyrical stance sayin he aint goin nowhere, that he is the KING. His cockiness flows all ova the track, but thats what shows he still has it at battling and defending himself.
Alot of tracks on this album catch me production wise, more then lyrically. Reason being, Daddy Yankee is still the same with his quick lyrics on some tracks, which is fine, but much harder to understand now. He seems to stress his accent more and takes pauses before the next word which is annoyin sometimes but like i said the production makes up for it. Example, "En Sus Marcas Listos Fuera" is quick paced like some of his olda tracks with a ridiculous beat that will surely get the parties pumpin. It has such a catchy beat but tryin to hear da words is a struggle. Track 3, "Cambio", another catchy party pumpin beat talkin about people in da club and him cambiando da females. Now the Hottest Reggaeton track here is Fuera De Control, its an infectious beat that gets you perrando to death with a female/male and talks about this shorty who is like no other, who is FUERA DE CONTROL. Now the Lead Single Impacto and its remix are without a doubt infectious tracks dat get you pumped up, but dis is better lyrically cuz he is quick and you understand him more. "Ella Me Levanto" has a hard beat and describes about a shorty dat played him but the next came up and lifted his up world up, strong song without a doubt. "El Celular" has such a decent hip hop beat with a crazy electronic beat that has a tiny trance like flow in da back. He Flows perfectly with this beat and elevates it with his lyrics, its about him callin a shorty, but wats up, her number is disconnected. A song wit a beautiful hip hop beat is "Me Quedaria" whis is more a political in its lyrical content and shows his discontent for somethings, including our immigration problem ova here in da U.S.....ESTAMOS UNIDOS O DIVIDIDOS. Da best hip hop track shows he still has lyrics up his sleave and dats "Todos Quieren a Raymond" which he talks about everyone talkin shit about him but he loves them cuz the talk helps him. It gave him fire for this track.
Daddy Yankee tries to keep dis album solo, to show his lyrical superiority by himself, but Latin hip hop/reggaeton is not about that now a days and often times it hurts the album. I just wished there were other star artist like Wisin & Yandel, Franco "El Gorilla", Rakim & Ken-Y, Tito "El Bambino". I seemed to get this aura from him like its an honor for you to be on his album and you aint worth it right now. This is totally a horrible stance to take in reggaeton it reminds me of 50 cent and dats bad. He has graced everyone elses albums just to prepare himself and get everybody edgy for his album but he lacks collabs. His collab with Akon on "Bring it On" was truely off da hook and more hip hop. Once again the production is top notch on dis track. Impacto with Fergie more commercial in nature, and da one with Nicole in "Papi Lover" is more for da girls if they even like it. The Hottest Collab is with Hector "El Father" called "Tension", and dey both together put people in tense mood, i would like to truely see more collabs with these two....it has a reggaeton and hip hop type flow. Another good Collab was wit Will.I.Am on "Plane to P.R.", its easy to understand and off da hook to bump, trust me.
The overall Feel of this album was excellent for a mostly solo effort, and it hit superbly production wise, considering Scott Storch on a few tracks, but he needed some more of our P.R. DJ's on dis album i think tracks would have been hotter. I left out some tracks cuz they stand ok on their own and its everyones opinion for dis album. Collaborations were too few and 2 of them didnt really need to be on dis album, it lacked some great all stars. This is why i give it 4 out of 5 stars. Honest and true to da core from a fellow Yankee Fan. Lets see if beefs rise and burn harder
Description of Cartel: The Big Boss
THE KING OF REGGAETON, DADDY YANKEE, returns with his new album "El Cartel: The Big Boss". After international platinum success with his first 4 albums, Daddy Yankee released, "El Barrio Fino", which went PLATINUM in the U.S alone, and solidified himself as the leading pioneer of the reggaeton movement. "El Cartel: The Big Boss" is the follow-up studio album everybody has been waiting 3 years for. Having enlisted super-producers such as will.i.am and Scott Storch, Daddy Yankee more than lives up to the hype and delivers his most multi-dimensional and complete album to date.If the reggaeton revolution slowed for a second and you're not sure why, consider the comings and goings of Daddy Yankee: Three years have passed since he lit a Latino fire under the non-Latino world with "Gasolina," and despite the best efforts of vast clusters of tough-talking, body-rocking followers, only he, apparently, can keep it stoked. El Cartel: The Big Boss is a 21-track thrill ride destined to restore reggaeton's lost luster. The first few minutes creak--as intros go, "Jefe" is on the longwinded side--but from there it's a riot of bump-bumps, nemesis-bashing, and quick-tongued braggadocio. All credit to DY for again climbing atop a swirling mass of beats and remembering to swagger appealingly on the way up, but the small army of producers and friends who line up to pay the big boss respects on this disc also deserve their props: Fergie makes an impact on the Scott Storch-produced "Impacto" without forcing it in an overly mainstream direction, "Papi Lover" with Pussycat Doll Nicole Sherzinger busts out a cool bhangra-ragga vibe, and Will.i.am winds up "Plane to PR," a slight but contagious ode to Caribbean senoritas, tight. --Tammy La Gorce
