Daddy Yankee presenting at Premio Lo Nuestro 2007



DY presented the Best Rock En Espanol award at the Premios Lo Nuestro awards.

I dig his speech BUT it's been a while since rock was a controversial, rebellious youth movement that the government attempted to suppress, so while I appreciate his efforts to explain reggaeton's connection to rock on a historical level, I think the speech comes off as an attempt to explain why it is that he's presenting an award in a genre with which he's uninvolved. But nevertheless, given the unlikely pairing of presenter and category, he pulled it off as best he could.

His outfit though? Nah man. The jean jacket with the matching jeans has been played out since '85, and that trucker hat is just fugly. DY sometimes kncocks it out the park with his style, but this wasn't one oft hose occasions (though it's leaps and bounds better than that weird bandanna thing he wore to the Premios La Juventud in '05....lol)
