Reggaeton might be good, but it can't touch reggae. No one latin or jamaican can touch people like Bob Marley or Peter Tosh. I particulary love Bob Marley, I also Damian. This music is the ****. It has the right mixture and a lot of variety. You can't sya that all reggae goes by the one same beat wlike reggaeton does the dembow which happens to be jamaican anyway. Some how it became spanish and it's like jamaicans didn't even have anything to do with it. But like I was saying, reggae has the right mixture of party tunes and dancing tunes, to soulful ****, to romantic stuff, to real issue stuff. Politics and stuff. I don't care what anybody says reggae is highly danceable if you just get in the groove of the music. To me reggaeton is just the same jamaican beat with rap over it. Just makin the music look bad. I love reggae and dancehall and trust, reggae and dancehall artists and jamaicans in general don't have nothin to to worry about because latinos know where the music is comes from.

I've all ways loved reggae music. I would do trips to Canada to purchase good reggae music I couldn't get in the states. But I love reggaeton!

I don't think they're in competition.. it's music, there's always room for new genres and new forms. Reggae artists have nothing to worry about, there's still a huge following for reggae as it is. Some reggaeton is alright, but I prefer reggae & dancehall, too.
