Most folks knowledge on Reggaeton is ''Gasolina'' was the beginning & end of the genre, and ''Despacito'' brought it back. We know that’s FALSE. It’s been here before ''Gasolina'' and after it. After ''Gasolina'' & ''Oye Mi Canto'' artists were still dropping hits/albums, getting spins at popular latin radio stations in the States and Latin America. Channels/Programs like MTV Tr3s, HTV, Telemundo Puerto Rico, Wapa TV, 99% Urbano, etc. were pushing Reggaeton. They were still doing live performances at popular Arenas, Clubs, etc. getting nominated by the Latin Billboards, Latin Grammys, etc. and taking home a whole bunch of awards. The only thing ''Despacito'' did was once and for all make it a GLOBAL PHENOMENON.

Real talk homie, if this genre never would have made it into the mainstream. I still would of repped it hard as hell. I’ve been repping the genre since the underground days. My actions speak for itself. Shout Out to my plugs that always had that fire (Albums & Magazines). I felt like a kid in a candy store. Long live Reggaeton!
