Hanging with Daddy Yankee!
Does anyone know who the other crew is that the Jabawockeez battle in the video? Are they alums from the same show or someone else?
Yes, before you ask, we are going to critically parse the images presented in music videos in the near future, as well as provide some info on feminist deconstructions of hip-hop and reggaeton. But until then…
Friday Reggaeton Party!
(H/T Marisol)
I want to see Daddy Yankee in some tight shorts, showing lots of skin with flashing lights on him! Role reversal, anyone?
I think the other group the Jabawockeez are battling are just some random girl dancers. I could be wrong, but that’s my impression.
I don’t think there’s enough dance battles in the world. You NEVER see groups clearing the dance floor to battle anymore. I think the world would be a safer place if they did; no need for guns, just a phat hip-hop beat and a dance floor! Just think of how many lives would be spared 
Sorry, it’s Friday and I’m in a silly mood!

True. Back then if people had beef they took it to the dance floor or the stage. And usually no matter who won there was mutual respect afterwards. Not as many people got shot, beatup, or arrested back then as they do now. Same thing goes for MC battles as well.
Those fine womens are Shh. They only appeared on the audition episode for season 2.
Thanks for posting this. I saw a snippet of this video on “minuto musical” and kinda flipped the channel cuz of the boring video girls in the beginning. Didn’t know Jabawockeez were in the mix.
Okay, disclosure: I don’t have cable so I’ve not caught this season’s Dance Crew battles. School this old chic: are there b-girls who do floor work in addition to popping? Maybe not headspins, but at least some windmills? I’d LOVE to see that.

HeyHey
The women dancers are just some Fish-n-Chicks knock off!……I wish the actually used the real F-n-C, that would of been hot!
kinda o/t….But I really, really think Fanny Pack wuz robbed.
I don’t know who the other dancing crew is; just know that this song is wack.
@Dawud – YES that song is most definitely WACK
@ heyhey — check out The Root’s – “Rising Up” video

there are some dope bgirls rocking it in the video (Trinity and Ntegrity…i looked up to them when i used to break)
-c.
LOL, it was funny, I was more interested in the dance battle than the song itself. I do wish they could’ve brought some actual b-girls into the mix though like abgirl. But ah well. I guess they were trying to go for the sexy type dance.
