Yes it's true, but he already spent it on fitted baseball hats, ugly cars and pot.
At $2.50 a gallon, you can keep your gasolina.

You should meet Raymond Ayala. He is a bright, unpretentious guy. He has bling because it is part of what is expected from him. But he has a sense of musical heritage that goes back several generations in Puerto Rican music to the soneros and trobvadores and he studies the old artists intensely. He is bright, articulate and a good role model.
He does not even drink.

Look, my problem with reggaeton is that like rap, it will soon degenerate into offensive, sexist and violent music. AS A HISPANIC MYSELF, I wish that our youth wouldn't gravitate towards this negative imagery.
It's all marketing, and that offends me. The record labels grab something (Gangsta Rap), market it towards the youth, gears it towards new markets (Reggaeton) and we have another generation of wannabe's.
Whatever, my kid listens to the Ramones.

Reggaetón comes out or Puerto Rico, and 95% of the artists are Puerto Rican. Since there are no gangs in PR, and no pimpmobiles... the music tends to reflect an entirely different value set.

Don Omar was a commited preacher for four years and spent much of his
time performing during religious celebrations. Gabriel Pizarro, better
know as 'Lennox' of 'Zion and Lennox', spent two years studying at
the University of Puerto Rico before leaving because of a car accident.
Tego Calderon recently turned down a major ad campaign from P. Diddy
to promote his clothing line because he found out the Comb's apparel
company was allegedly running sweatshops in Central America. Ivy Queen
oftens sings about female empowerment. These attributes and characteristics
are hardly the profile of "gangsta rappers".

One of the Don Omar songs, Ella Vive Sola, talks about the ostracism and criticism of a woman who fell victim to AIDS... there is a lot of social reality in the songs. This, of course, has a direct parallel in the first decades of Salsa. Ismael Rivera sang about the reality of Puerto Rican life, and Ruben Blades once told me his best songs were "estampas" (or scenes) he drew from real life... from Pedro Navaja to Plantación Adentro.
I have spent time, as mentioned, with raymond Ayala, and he is bright, aware and has a feel for his obligations... and a desire to make money (those $125 thou watches have to be paid for... such is bling).
