"I've spent the last 3 days listening to El Cartel: The Big Boss, and I'm happy to report that Daddy Yankee's latest is actually very good. Back track- I picked up Barrio Fino about this time in '05, and truthfully, it took about 3 months to grow on me. Since then, however, it's become one of my all-time favorite CDs, and I still enjoy listening to it. Fast forward- The Big Boss grew on me in about three minutes. What I especially like about the tracks on The Big Boss is the skillful way that DY experiments sound but somehow manages to stay true to his reggaeton roots. The CD doesn't try to be too hip hop and seems to be tailored to an "American" audience without pandering. I found the blend of English and Spanish languages well thought out, playful, and pleasant. When I hit [REPEAT]- Bring it On, Papi Lover, Plane to P.R., Impacto (sin Fergie), and Me Quedaria. Anyway, as some would say "it's Daddy Yankee, so you know it's going to be good!""
Big boss for sure!

"You know, I'm surprise with the people hatin' on this album. The first thought that crossed my mind was "these have to be Don Omar fans trying to act silly", but I guess each to their own.
This album is not as great as Barrio Fino, but is still excellent. I could have done with less hip/hop or rap seeing as I'm not much of a fan, but hell, I think I made an exception with Daddy Yankee.
Keep doin' your thing Daddy. Keep making us boricuas proud!"
