All you people say that Daddy Yankee is the best. But the truth is that Tego Calderon is better!! I say and know this because Tego has come out with new CD's and Daddy Yankee has not! Yankee has beef with almost every reggaeton rapper because he thinks that he is better than them. Daddy Yankee maybe hot but he has not come out with a CD since the CD Barrio Fino en Directo and that CD does not count because those are the same songs from the old CD Barrio Fino that he sings live. So I think that Tego Calderon and every Reggaeton rapper is better than Daddy Yankee. So all you people that say that Daddy Yankee is the best your wrong!! Anybody who said that Daddy Yankee is a sellout you guys are right!! Daddy Yankee is a sell-out!!!
