"I heard about Reggaeton, but thought it was a Spanish thing. When I saw the names General Degree, and Admiral Bailey, I figured what the heck, I like Reggae, and have not heard or seen anything new from these guys. I ended up likin the T-Quest tunes, and his house party with the babes. Up til buying this CD/DVD I never heard of him. The Degree tune Miss Gorgeous was slammin, I liked the megamix with the low rider car and the babes (even though I ain't into Low Riders Cars.) There was a really nice tune by the Dream Team (English with some Spanish lyrics), great crib tune. I liked the rhythums on some of the other tunes even though I did not understand what they were saying (do not speak Spanish). I gave it 5 stars cause I found at least 5 tunes I really liked, and I also wanted to give some respect to the Latin Brothers. Cool."
Had Something For Everyone

"There were several of the video's on the DVD portion of the package that I did not particularly like. However, there were at least 5 videos that I did like- The General Degree Song, Wiggle It, Jiggle It, The Lowrider Car of The Year, America, Big Boy with Tito Rojas, and Ol Oido with Nico Canada. The Admiral Bailey Video was not bad either. I really liked the song "You Got Me." So in summary there is enough of a variety within this package between the DVD and the CD that just about everyone is going to find something they will like."

"Good Party package, nice variety. It is a very nice compilation, and covers the gambit of reggae rap tastes both in Spanish and English. I do not regret buying it, play the CD in my car, my friends like it, and there are several "MTV" quality videos in this package, as well as videos that have in fact been on MTV! Has some old tunes, but they are the original tunes, no remakes, which was kinda nice to have. If you want to hear the songs, and see some video go to http://www.raggaforce.com/RaggaNacion.html. Then order from Amazon. It is that simple. No guessing, no problems."
Great DVD/CD Sampler

"An awesome clash of reggae-based sounds, this compilation of material profiles artists with backgrounds in reggaeton, rap, and traditional reggae. 18 videos are included, profiling some of the best exponents the three genres have to offer. Among the artists appearing are Nico Canada (with "Al Oido"), General Degree ("Miss Gorgeous"), Toby King ("Hit Man"), Demphra ("Hombre Peculiar"), The Dream Team ("You Got Me") and many others. For newcomers to the style who are looking to dip their toes into the water, this is a great way to find out how warm the water really is. For established fans, this is an unexpected treat, packed full of all the joy the RAGGA NACION has to offer! (review courtesy of another site, but thought it would be helpful.) I would like to add that there are both new songs, and songs from the past. I gave it 5 stars as a value priced package, but I would give it 4 stars for Artist content because there is always room for improvement."
