N.O.R.E. Album: “N.O.R.E. y la Familia...Ya Tú Sabe”

First off I'd like to say as a fluent Spanish speaker and one of the biggest fans of the Reggaeton movement, if this review was based on just the score I give for the beats and production it would receive 4 stars. However, since it ain't, I must give this album a 4 for production and a 2 for the sorry raps from N.O.R.E. I apologize to all his fans, but c'mon y'all, dude raps way better in English! All of us fluent spanish speaking latinos know this for a fact. In one of his verses he says "Yo quiere" when it should be "Yo quiero". There are other verses that show he clearly is barely learning to speak Spanish. And a lot show he doesn't know proper grammar either. He should have brushed up on his Spanish before releasing any reggaeton material. As a rapper and latino he should be ashamed of himself. Other than that all the guest spots from the big names in reggaeton and sick production are really what make this album good, not N.O.R.E. himself. These tracks should have been given to Daddy Yankee or Don Omar.

I have other NORE CDs and I will add this to the ones I like. The beats are great and NORE flow is diffrent but you still get the Raw substance that you are use to from him. Many guest available to give you a taste of other artist trying their hand in Reggeton.

Ok I am cool with the reggaeton sound and the movement but this guy goes and gives us an ENTIRE cd of reggaeton. Gone are the days of NORE the rapper he COMPLETELY flips the script on this cd and I didnt see it coming, thats all I am saying. He didnt have any singles for reason.
