Older news on dom omer -

What we saw was not what was happening at the time, I signed two years go. Reggaeton did open up the doors, Machete is built on reggaeton, but what we saw and what Gus [Lopez] saw is that Hip Hop is the root of the movement. After reggaeton opened the doors, we saw what's happening now. In anything you need that commercial success to bust the doors open. It brought greater awareness to the urban Latin movement. As far as where we're at now, it's reverting back to an Urban Latin music. I think people got stuck longer than they should on reggaeton, saturated the market. As long as we got in there, on standby, waiting for the most opportune moment, that's why it has taken two years to drop a project. When reggaeton came in, everyone went on it, stuck on it, you had radio stations saying I was too hip hop, bro. Even on this project, we aren't anticipating any radio support just because a lot of radio stations are still in limbo in terms of what the formats are, allowing hip hop like mine into the format. We're not too concerned with that, always let the streets dictate. We kept pushing it back, label kept pushing it back, when you look at the reality of it, so much money has been put into reggaeton that hasn't been recouped, and it isn't going to be recouped at this point. It got to the point where everyone wanted Don Omar, Wisin, talented individuals I have the utmost respect for. Everyone expected them to sell millions and millions of records. They sold millions - collectively. As far as the last projects, Machete really thought Wisin and Yandel would sell 2 mill, Don Omar would sell 2-3 mill, and we'd all be sitting pretty right now. Everybody thought Yankee was gonna come out and do some crazy s**t at Interscope, that didn't happen. I'm kind of upset that us as a people in the market didn't come out and buy 10 Yankee CDs each. If Interscope gave him 12 mill, and he sold a mill or two mill the first week, Jimmy would be writing more checks to more of us. So that's something where I think we faltered at as a culture and a movement. Even if it's reggaeton and people are tired of it, people want to move on, we still gotta support our own. With the whole reggaeton thing, it's not going anywhere, I think it's did its thing, the core artists are always be there. But it is reverting to an overall urban Latin genre and market. That's where I come in, and the rest of the cats that are doing big things in Hip Hop on the Latin side.
