Imagine getting cheers and screams from over 40,000 fans in two days! This past weekend, Daddy Yankee literally crossed two coasts for a set of wild performances that El Cangri is a musical force to be reckoned with.
First stop: LA’s huge Staples Center. Not many music artists can fill this venue. If you want to play Staples, you better have a massive following. On Friday (July 23) Daddy Yankee proved his power by maxing out capacity and getting over 20,000 fans roaring for hits like “Gasolina” “Muchocando” and his newest #1, “Descontrol.”

Oh no, Daddy Yankee didn’t stop there. Literally the next day he was back on stage on the other side of the continent for Puerto Rico’s Guaya Guaya Fest. Now if Daddy can get 20,000 LA peeps excited, imagine what he can do on his home turf!
Yup, 24 hours after 20,000 west coast fans screamed his name, 22,000 Puerto Ricans were doing the same thing. And Guaya Guaya attendees got an even better treat. A surprise duet of “Gata Gangster” with Reggaeton king Don Omar!
You never quite know what you’ll get with a Daddy Yankee live show. A surprise guest star? Thundering bass beats? Or maybe an opportunity to make 19,999 new friends. Keep ‘em coming Big Boss!
Have you seen Daddy Yankee live yet? Sound off in the comments or @MTV3!

Back in 1997, Capone-N-Noreaga enjoyed massive street credibility, thanks (in part) to the release of their debut album, The War Report. Poised to once again make their mark in the rap game, the duo is taking it back to their roots with the release of The War Report 2, hitting stores and digital outlets on July 13. If tracks on the album are anything like their smash hits "T.O.N.Y" and "Closer," fans are in for a treat!
Although we would have appreciated it if Noreaga had recorded a few more Spanish language songs to reflect his Puerto Rican heritage — as he did with his 2006 album N.O.R.E. y la Familia...La Tu Sabe — we're loving that the The War Report 2 will feature the L.O.X., Faith Evans, Busta Rhymes, Imam T.H.U.G., Musaliny, a verse from Tragedy Khadifi, and Raekwon.
Rae appears on 3 tracks. The rap legend is an executive producer on the album and C-N-N are signed to his label, Ice H20 — the same imprint that brought last year's acclaimed Only Built 4 Cuban Linx...Pt. II sequel.
A hot track to look out for from The War Report 2 is “With Me,” featuring Nas. The single didn't even require a studio session! Nore shared the details with MTVNews.com:
"I can't remember [how long ago] we finished the song, because me and Nas have recorded so much material in the past," Nore said. "We came across this [particular song and] made a new beat to it, switched a lot of things around. But it's a wonderful thing. It's not a recent verse from Nas. It was something in the vault, but we made it brand-new. If you don't know it's old, you won't know. It's the way a lot of people want to hear Nas."
We are definitely looking forward to vintage Nas!
Check out this video for "Thug Planet," another sizzlin' track from The War Report 2:
In our latest installment of Deep Thoughts, Blogamole contributor Simone Hilliard talks you into spending your rent money on new music — as if we needed convincing!!!
By Simone Hilliard
Shakira released She-Wolf late last year and Christina Aguilera and Juanes bounced back in 2010 with Bionic and Yerbatero, but as a whole, we haven't heard much from the Latin artists we know and love. Fed up with our recycled playlist, Team Blogamole decided to find out where our favorite singers, songwriters, performers, reggaetoneros, pop princesas and emcees have been hiding.
Wisin y Yandel: Este reggaetoneros are double teaming the studio and the stage! They've already extended their wildly popular La Revolución tour and on July 20 they'll release their La Revolución Live LP. In November, the dynamic duo are scheduled to drop their eighth studio album, El Regreso de Los Vaqueros. We can't wait!
Aventura: This Bronx born bachata band are busy touring and making the TV rounds on the likes of "Lopez Tonight." As to when we can expect a follow up to 2009's The Last, we have no idea! Romeo and his boys average a new album every two years, so 2011 can't come soon enough!
Pau Pau:This future mamacita is laying low! We haven't heard from the 39-year-old since her 2009 album Gran City Pop and we honestly don't expect to until she has her first bebe. Then, we'll probably hear a softer sound from the exhibitionist that she'll naturally credit to motherhood, ala Xtina and Thalia.
We have more of the new music you need, after the jump!
