Review - Product Description
Having sold over 1 million copies of his first 2 albums, The Last Don and The Last Don Live, Don Omar's reggaeton's King Of Kings will release his much anticipated second studio album The King Of Kings as only he can. The King of Kings is Reggaeton with style elements from Salsa, Bachata, Merengue, Hip Hop and ballads. There are just some of the hits that Don Omar has presented as part of his production The King Of Kings. Don Omar has created a musical empire for his fans; the same fans that crowned him King Of Kings.
Review - Amazon.com
The self-aggrandizing title and cover art may indicate otherwise, but Don Omar's King of Kings isn't your average reggaeton mash-up. Most genre stars (Daddy Yankee, Voltio, Wisin & Yandel) diffuse their heady personas with weak vocals, insipid lyrics, and repetitive arrangements. Omar, however, is an entirely different animal. King of Kings is a dark, adventurous journey through reggaeton, supplemented by surprising rhythms and a careful selection of collaborators. Hip-hop violinist Miri Ben-Ari adds urban elegance to "Intro-Predica," and Juelz Santana brings a genuine grit to "Conteo." King of Kings also finds Omar experimenting with creative variations on the reggaeton sound. "Ojitos Chiquitos" benefits from a moody Middle Eastern vibe, and "Cuentale" soars via a start-stop salsa hybrid. Omar slows things down during "Tu No Sabes," a piano-driven tale of heartbreak; and "Candela" incorporates reggaeton beats into a searing rock arrangement. Omar's former life as a preacher has obviously influenced his lyrics (which touch on religion, love, and life's hardships), but it's also given him a heady, passionate approach to music. There are lighter moments of standard reggaeton and dance hall, but even those simmer with intensity. Omar's vocals aren't always strong--particularly during the slower moments--but King of Kings stands tall amid so many throwaway reggaeton releases. We'll allow him a few moments of boastful frivolity. --Joey Guerra

- Amateurs take notes, this is how the KING OF KINGS does it!

Until I hear Tego and Daddy Yankee's latest, this is the best new reggeaton out there. DON'T HATE...APPRECIATE!

Don Omar doesn't disappoint with KING OF KINGS he has a little bit of everything for everyone. What I like about the cd is how he likes to break new ground with 'Cuetale' sounds like a hybrid of Bachata and Reggaeton. 'Predica' lets you know that William Landron also is a preacher man. 'Conteo' w/ Juelz Santana is straight up hip hop. 'Munecas De Porcelana' is a great story. LIGHT UP, DRINK UP AND LISTEN TO DON OMAR'S LATEST CLASSIC.

These hitz hit hard:

1) Predica

2) Reportense

3) Ojitos Chiquitos

4) Conteo w/ Juelz Santana

7) Candela

8) Salio El Sol

9) En Su Nota w/ Mackie Ranks

10) Angelito

13) Infieles

14) Belly Danza w/Beenie Man

15) Munecas De Porcelana - nice song to f*** to.

16) Not Too Much w/Zion

- What can I say :-o

No Seriously, If I actually had the money to buy this CD and hadn't download the whole album of some website, man, I would seriously buy this CD. hehe. At first I was like, not bad, but then, the more and more alcohol in my system (hehe), no seriously, more I listened to it, the better it actually got to me. That being said, I will say that when I actually have money that I can spend on whatever, I will most definetly buy this CD. Like I said, at first when I listened to the album, I was like, "This is it?", but it gets better and better the more you listen to it.

- Please don't listen to Reggaetonero's comments

the album is hot. There is something to like about every track. It is clear that Reggaetonero is an amateur when it comes to reggaeton, his comments are unfounded and he probably did not even listen to King of Kings. Don Omar is a pioneer who like Tego, has diversified the sound of reggaeton.

- The spice of life in....King Of Kings

Ok, i hear what reggaetonero is saying, and i have to agree with him to some point. I got this cd and was dissapointed in the way that i was expecting more reggaeton (Don Omar) style songs. I never liked "Angelito" from the start even before the cd came out but everyone else went crazy over it so i guess it was just me. After hearing the whole cd i think there's about 4 songs i loved:

#13-"Infieles"

#11- "Jangueo"

#14-"Belly Danza"

& #9-"En Su Nota"

On the other hand everyone else around me loves the whole cd.

I think Don Omar is the most talented reggaeton artist around and i think he has done an excelent job on all of his cds. This man has talent bursting out of every pore on his body and he has a voice like no other.

So even though i didn't think all of the songs on this album were great, other people do love it with it's diferent beats and tones. I do look forward to the future for more of his typical reggaeton beats and rhythms that he's been known for. So instead of saying, "if you like reggaeton get this cd" i will say that if you like diferent tropical sounds with good beats, some fast some slow and a little reggaeton mixed in this is a great one and you should get it. If you like Don Omar just get it. And if you don't like any of the before mentioned get it anyway, i'm sure you'll change your mind.

There's a great old old salsa style cut i realy liked, #18"Amarga Vida"

There's also a bonus track #19 i have yet to listen to.

Don Omar is to Reggaeton what LL Cool J is to Rap.

So don't forget boys and girls that "Variety Is The Spice Of Life"

P.S. His cd cover art is outstanding!

- King of Kings!!

Wow! Don Omar came back stronger than ever with King of Kings!

Songs like Cuentale, Conteo, & Reportense can have you dancing non-stop, and even has a dancehall song to get you on the dance floor with "Salio El Sol." Other songs like Muñecas de Porcelana and Angelito Vuela talks about social issues. A real masterpiece!!
