[edit] Album details
The album was mostly known for its new sound in reggaeton, where most of the tracks were composed of different rhythms and lyrics, without use of the dem bow beat. The album is a blend of reggaeton and hip hop, all with a humorous and sarcastic feel to it in subject matter.[1]
[edit] Commercial performance
The album would fare extremely well in Puerto Rico. Criticized for its rather vulgar lyrics, the album is nevertheless a favorite of the band's fans, selling over 350,000 copies worldwide.
Although the album was not a huge success on the Billboard 200, only peaking at #189, it was a major success on the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart, peaking in the Top 10 at #6. It was also a huge success on the Billboard Top Heatseekers chart, peaking at #3.[2]
