    Reggaeton is now in the curious spot of being both ubiquitous (in New York, Los Angeles, and Miami) and totally unknown (everywhere else).

    Spoken like someone who has never been to Texas.

    But in the last five years, the map has been redrawn to include Atlanta and the Dirty South, St. Louis, Detroit, Chicago, and Houston.

    Spoken like someone who has never heard of the Geto Boys.

    Or even spoken to a latino person.

    *sidenote: Next issue, we're publishing yet another Diplo interview. I'm also trying to convince the editor to make some space for the gang from The Rub.

    Everyone's a hater...

    If you wanna submit a non-Pro Blow related article, holla at me. We're looking for more politically edged shit.

    That offer extends to any writer reading this.

    PM me or contact the mag directly.

    holera.

    just reading this thread, I thought those quotes were things Diplo said, which struck me as odd. but the writer (and person being quoted here) is Martin Edlund, and this isn't really an article about Diplo, but an article about reggaeton, grime & baile funk that mentions Diplo. music writers are so fucking worthless... this article is titled "The World is Phat." why are we even talking about it?

    P. Diddy just threw his hat in the ring, announcing the formation of Bad Boy Latino

    is it just me or does the phrase "bad boy latino" sound a little

    Correction, this music writer is worthless. What, you don't read the Wire? Wax Poetics? Besides, we need people like this to tell folls what's "phat" (that's so '94, man - P.M. Dawn would be proud) so that a proper underground can continue to exist - it's called cultural equilibrium. This stuff is flavour of the month, in another year, the mainstream press will have forgotten...
