It's like, first of all you hear alot of Latinos trying to share credit for rap and hip hop by saying they helped create it too. And now that that claim doesn't seem to work, they go ahead and create reggaeton which is simply rap, hip-hop and reggae infused with a little bit of Latin flair. Don't get me wrong, Latinos are extraordinarily creative -- having created an entire industry of salsa, merengue and other musical styles enjoyed in South America, Central America and the Caribbean. But now that everything black is considered cool by mainstream society, they seem to want a piece of the pie. But where were all the Latino rappers that supposedly help create rap and hip hop? Where were they before Fat Joe came along? Heck, there were even white rappers like The Beastie Boys, 3rd Bass, Everlast and (don't laugh) Vanilla Ice back in the day.
