From reggaeton to r&b and rap, the mid-2000’s was filled with jams that were on replay constantly. How many of these throwbacks do you recognize?
In 2005 you rapped along to songs like:
“Atrevete Te Te” by Calle 13

“Rompe” by Daddy Yankee

After this song, you didn’t look at laffy taffy – the candy, the same again.
And in 2006, started singing along as soon as you heard:
“Dile” by Don Omar
One of Don Omar’s first songs in his first album. #classic ??
“Blow the Whistle” by Too Short

In 2007 you knew it was time to run to the dance floor when you heard:

And if you didn’t know the dance moves, you watched dozens of YouTube tutorials until you got at least that part right.
“With You” by Chris Brown

And 2009 had you jumping up and down with jams like:

Pitbull always got you hyped.
“Meet Me Halfway” by The Black Eyed Peas
