Bad Bunny Wants To Save Puerto Rico...

this might be my fav album this decade and creeping up on one of my fav albums of all time. 10/10.

[@jesusramones1]

I felt like he was the Puerto Rican drake until I saw he wasn’t afraid to speak out about real issues. Drake could never make anything like lo que le pasó a Hawaii

[@courtneyslaughter504]

Swear to god it’s like he completely shifted from he’s usual work and well with this album “ he got to WORK” god I love it so much💕

[@Andy-bh8hw]

Why would Drake make a song about Puerto Rico?

[@FilosFaded]

@@Andy-bh8hw🤦‍♂️ , as if Drake were Puerto Rican - massive hits yet empty

[@jesusramones1]

@ why would Drake make a song about how colonization is bad?

[@notstrongbad]

Well that and BB has actual talent and is not a beta whiny baby lol

[@raresmocanu1743]

I was just a random Romanian dude who trains a lot of salsa. One week of a lot of KZbin videos on DTMS, I'm now invested in what happens in PR. He did bring all this to a huge global audience.

[@KingBenny]

welcome sir! It's a lot of great art in Puerto Rico

[@ShoMeShamo]

Inca un Roman pe aici? nice!

[@alsantoshsantana8803]

AMEN!

[@presidenthonor]

Left Puerto Rico 3 years ago to come to the US. Every day i wanna go back to the island. Even if life over there is more difficult as compared to here, there is a magic in the air that i cannot explain. When this album came out i would be crying non-stop greatly missing my home

[@peshivirginflower7]

I was born here but before me both sides of family are all born on the island. I visited once with my brother, walking with my aunt as she showed us where we came from, the feeling was so overwhelming. Like a calling back. So proud👑🇨🇺✊🏼💪🏼🙏🏼🫶🏼👏🏼

[@DeliciousDevious]

​​@@peshivirginflower7brother you didnt even use the correct flag 🇵🇷🇵🇷. You put the cuban flag...

[@Risgolden]

I remember listening to him in 2017 when he was only putting out singles and features. Now he’s the biggest star on earth and it makes me so proud as a fan and a Puerto Rican ❤

[@KingBenny]

when Tu No Vive Asi dropped I wa such a bad bunny believer, then i stopped listening for a while and then he hooked me back in

[@pr3st33j]

i’ve never been a Bad Bunny fan. do i have a few of his older, more popular, songs on my playlists? yeah of course. he makes music that’s catchy for someone like me (a non-Spanish speaker who can understand very little). but taking the time out to listen to this album, as well as watch his music videos, visualisers and short film that he subsequently released, is one of the best things i could have ever done. there’s not many pieces of work that can move me to tears, but the culmination of each individual piece of this project broke me down to review each individual piece of myself. my heritage as someone with Caribbean descent, my relationships with people, preserving my culture for the next generations within my work, how my actions further affect my environment. there’s something so nostalgic about being a consumer of this media, yet i myself am not in any way affiliated with Puerto Rico. there’s many things reminiscent between Puerto Rico & Jamaica that I now further recognise the similarities in their history and current struggles when dealing with oppression from larger countries and corporations that i further want to do something against. not to mention; the title ‘Debi Tirar Más Fotos’ resonates with me so well as a photographer and filmmaker. ‘Baile Inolvidable’ (my favourite track on the album btw) has also allowed me to make the necessary changes within my relationship to not be in a similar circumstance as Bad Bunny portrays within the song and subsequent video. essentially this is my love letter to the album itself. really loved this video and happy that it made its way onto my recommendations. keep up the good work.

[@DizzyChuy]

heck yeah, thanks for sharing dude. Im mexican so ive always understood his emotional and more humane side. Is so pleasing to be sad with this great production!

[@byDerick]

Dude I may be biased but this has to be your best written video yet, you verbalized and explained everything so clearly and accurately. Thank you for the effort you put 🙏🏽

[@KingBenny]

I'm very proud of this video lol... i think usually i have a moment or two where Im not proud

[@lydiavalentino]

DtMF was so good, "WELTiTA" and "LO QUE LE PASO A HAWAii" are some of my fav songs of the year

[@KingBenny]

@@lydiavalentino w picks

[@pholtom]

thanks for this video. even though i was raised here, in the ultra mega christian household im in, ive always grown up thinking reggaeton is for "cafres" and instead always listened to all genres of english music, but after my girl got into bad bunny, i thought itd be nice of me to give it a try, being such a huge music fan. i completely enjoyed the album, even read the messages of the story of puerto rico in the youtube videos and learned a few things that i didnt even know about my country. im so grateful to him, for making such a dedicated album to his homecountry and never forgetting from where he comes from, now i can tell all the people who always say hes just profiting off the island that theyre wrong. seriously, this video taught me a lot, me never having even tried to listen to bad bunny, or music from puerto rico, fuck, music in spanish in general. i really enjoyed the album, one of the best ive heard in my music journey, thank you. much love from rio grande, pr🇵🇷

[@SonRio19]

much love from mayagüez

Bad bunny is going to be the reason I start learning Spanish again.

[@novalife429]

Brazilians who listen to Bad Bunny often complain other Brazilians don't care about him, but honestly... I think this might be the first time he nailed an invitation to bring us home along with everybody else in LatAm. If anything, it was a banger of an introduction and now Brazil can at least be curious about what's going on in our neighbour's cultures and music scene.

[@sebastianmuniz6867]

i don’t understand what he says in the album to give this impression but it’s cool. i was at a bad bunny listening party in santurce puerto rico and ran into a group of brazilians celebrating a birthday they were very nice

[@TTOjay]

man im so proud to be afro puerto rican man music is amazing and may we prosper

[@KingBenny]

Same. But honestly ppl can be so ignorant ab afro puertoricans in the states it's crazy

[@LuisA-fc3ox]

I’m Afro Puerto Rican in Chicago born in Sabana Bajo in Carolina and tired of my brothers murdeing each other. And what?

[@MunchingOrange]

Awesome video man. From another boricua who had to leave the island, this album hit really hard...

[@er6890]

Thank you for this. You actually spoke about the real meaning behind the album vs other KZbinrs superficial explanations. So thank you.

[@KingBenny]

This was my opportunity to speak on PR.... i had to make it worth it

[@shaeisgae8952]

Those who profit from property while destroying the lives of the people disgust me, I'm not american but ever since I learned about Puerto Rico being a US territory I've been talking about how unjust it all is, anyway great video and such an amazing album, I'm happy to be able to appreciate it on this level now.

[@KingBenny]

Thank you and yes, it is very unjust for puertoricans

[@GabadiyaSam]

BAD BUNNY THE GOATTTT

[@cyberican9988]

As a newyorican visiting puerto rico as a child and got to experience the motherland at young age , my dream is to return and live there , hit really hit a home run on album and didnt foget us newyoricans with nuevayoll!

[@kawaiidj_]

1:51 Wow, great comparison honestly. they’re both love letters to their respective culture but the entirety of DtMF is also a wake up call for us. this album is what we need at this time here in the island, gracias Benito por el regalo de reyes

[@irvingnarvaez3385]

Thanks you for this one... I myself was born in NYC to Puerto Rican parents who moved to NY in the Late 40s. This Video expains alot of what's going on in PR nowadays

[@seanhenriques808]

this record made me love bad bunny. full of good memories and feels. 10 out of 10

[@Mtv20O1]

A true love letter to Puerto Rico and overall Latinos who have been impacted by gentrification and colonization Makes me proud 🥲

[@BriPea56]

As a 4th generation Puerto Rican and a 3rd generation Cuban (half and half, but my identity lays more with PR) this album made me feel so many things. However, the biggest emotion it brought up for me was pride. Hearing all of the sounds from the island that I grew up hearing here in the states at family gatherings makes me so emotional. Even though I didn’t grow up ON the island, and I didn’t go every single summer, I do remember the times I spent there with my family and how beautiful the times were (and continue to be because I love our island and intend to go back and visit more, and with my future children to keep the tradition and love for the island alive). It was also a wake up call for me, as I didn’t know how bad of a condition the island was in regarding wealthy people “taking over”. I also do not speak the language fluently even though my parents speak both English and Spanish perfectly. I have made it my mission to learn since middle school (I took Spanish from 6th grade all the way up to Junior year of high school, but didn’t learn much.) This album has lit a fire in me to dive deeper into my culture that I’m ALREADY VERY PROUD OF but to have a deeper understanding of my people and my language. I am now practicing my Spanish at my job with coworkers and with my parents. It’s not the greatest pero es muy importante pa me! Thank you for this video, for shedding light on the climate of Puerto Rico and for a deep dive on this album.

[@clartblart3266]

That's great! Just a small correction, it's mi

I’m not a fan of any celeb but in the last few years I’ve become a fan of his. I’m not blindly devoted to him or anything like other fans that but I have respect for him because of how much he loves our homeland 🇵🇷 No other artist has shown this much love for our land and culture in so many deep ways.

[@occultst921]

La partiste bro !!!! Seguimos aqui 🇵🇷 !!!!

[@KingBenny]

SEGUIMOS!!!

He’s so good!

[@KingBenny]

he might be the goat tbh

[@what9397]

These problems are also happening in the Dutch Caribbean. Taxes on houses on dutch caribbean is 0.0012% so hundreds of Dutch people are going to islands like Bonaire to start housing and dozens of tourists are destroying the economy. Bonaire was stable before 2020 and everyone was happy. Now it’s terrible

[@joshywoshy3895]

Bro really ended the video by saying he’s “almost certain this video will do bad.” Hope that statement ages like milk brother! Amazing video! The passion you have in it is palpable 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@KingBenny]

i hope so but its doing about expect rn lol

[@adriannamatos865]

As a Puerto Rican living in New York, this album has touched my heart in ways words cannot describe. I’ve been a weeping mess listening to DTMF this past week. What a nostalgic masterpiece 🥺🇵🇷🙏🏻

[@johnfranklin6394]

Same for me. Born and raised in England to a fiercely proud Puerto Rican mother from Aguadilla. I will literally weep at the sound of the coqui, which I was lucky enough to hear on family holidays to the island as a kid.

[@alsantoshsantana8803]

Excellent narration and description in this video of the problems in PR and summarized the genius talent of Bad Bunny.

[@mithunnair8587]

Thank you for this video man, as a non-spanish speaker, i wanted to know more about the album and what it means. Love to puerto Rico from a Indian❤. Long live Puerto Rico🎉

[@certifiedloverboy1370]

Mannn CERTIFIED CLASSIC, nah but on a serious note I didn’t even know u were Puerto Rican that’s dope man, I’m from Venezuela so I could relate to a lot of the things he said on the album. You should do more Spanish album reviews 🙂‍↕️

[@PJ-hi1gz]

Thanks for the doing the research and using your platform to share our message 🇵🇷💯

not even Puerto rican nor a Spanish speaking guy, but i get what you mean. I miss being a kid in bangladesh. The sounds of the street and the music feel nostalgic

My favorite song from the album is baile inolvidable. Sounds so good like a classic salsa hit from the 70s

[@LendrickKamar-m7h]

This album was great. I grew up in Puerto Rico from ages of 1-5 but unfortunately I had to move out and now I can’t speak Spanish anymore but I still love the lsland and all my thoughts about it are happy about it. (Sorry for yapping I was just ranting lmao)

[@johnfranklin6394]

You can learn it again. I have a Puerto Rican mother and English father. Born and raised in England, and could not speak Spanish until my 20s. Now, I can converse with my PR cousins, survive in any Spanish-speaking country and understand (most) of Bad Bunny’s lyrics 😂

[@lucahernandez777]

Gracias por hablar sobre el tema ❤🇵🇷

[@luisliz]

Thanks for making the comparison with gnx as soon as I heard dtmf I thought of Kendrick but since I’m from pr it made me feel it way harder. And I noticed that I’m kind of a tourist (like the song) to the USA west coast and my true home is PR. Great video! I’ve been waiting for someone to make an analysis like this because theres too many superficial reactions even by Spanish speaking community Have seen your vids but didn’t know you were from PR!!

[@Chris.182]

Didn’t know you were rican! That’s awesome man and definitely adds more to the video. Hope everything’s been good with you

Im a 38yo Argentinian. I'm more of a rocker and I hate reggeton. never listened a Bad Bunny song out of prejudice. My older brother send me this song DTMF and it got me ugly crying.

If I'm not mistaken, calle 13 has been brining up issues such as this for years. He is not as big an artist as bad bunny but he has had a social commentary on a number of issues taking place with the island.

[@KingBenny]

calle 13 big in latin america but not in the US tho... his style doesnt trasnlate as much as Bad Bunnys does

As an aspiring artist, it feels like we, as Latin Americans, need more voices as loud and unapologetic as Benito. Cause there are already a lot of Puerto Rican artists who have been sayign the same for years, no one as loud and with such a platform as Bad Bunny. Great video man, if you haven't, i recommend taking a losten to Tierra by Chuwi, they featured in WELTItA

Bad bunny is like the Latino Kendrick Lamar basically they’re both super talented and make powerful meaningful music

[@BlazenMikay]

Makes me feel the same way of 2003-2009 nyc. It felt like nyc was safe but with gentrification + the rich getting richer all the best parts of nyc have gone bye bye. Everything’s more expensive No jobs to keep the people who were raised there there More struggle since everything is about the highlights and looking “safe”

[@KingBenny]

I was going to include a clip ab spike talking about how gentrification is only better for the rich and not the actual ppl living in the city

[@AndyGarcia-ch1ci]

I'm venezuelan and I used to listen to a lot more reggaeton back in the day but in too old for that now so I really haven't listened to bad bunny at all, just always seemed like another liberal Hollywood rapper/ celebrity, but since this album came out featuring a different sound, I have been all in on it, even the reggaeton sounds old school and as a Venezuelan you know we are salseros, I'm obsessed with the salsa sounds. Also can somewhat relate although they have meaning but the lyrics can also apply to venzuela in many ways and the dictator Maduro destroying our country. Also I think bad bunny's new look now adays just looks like he's grown up and matured a lot without all the flashy stuff he was doing 5-10 years ago. This album is an absolute home run and I haven't stopped listening to it for 2 weeks now. I hope he keeps making this style of music because for real it just hits home and takes you on a journey more than the basic club pop music we been getting for the last decade and a half.

[@Flattithefish]

In terms of numbers, this is likley to be second place in the list of his biggest albums, It wonts surpass un verankert sin, but it will be a big banger, statistical speaking the issues is that in un verano sin ti we saw a summer album, that was massive in Latin countries and the streaming data fast coming in constantly not falling of, it had like 40min streams for like 5 months 3 months after release, this time it’s still doing a Big Bang now but obviously it’s not a reggaeton or summer anthem so they streaming numbers in latin countries will be strong but are shown to slowly decrease, of course this time we do get a lot of streams from Europe and around the world but it’s very unlikely that these will be constant and not just fall off, once it isn’t trendy anymore or in a month or 2

[@Guts-blood]

Something that I want to make clear in Puerto Rico: the concept of a private beach does not exist. All the beaches are public; it's illegal to try to take ownership of a beach.
