- Con todo respeto, les quiero decir que la verdad es que Michael Ellis, el mánager de El General, me dijo que no dijera «reggae», que lo pusiera como algo grande y como a todo lo grande nosotros le ponemos «ón», como cabezón, camisón, etc, entonces, lo llamamos "reggaetón", un “reggae” grande. Es la plena verdad.
- With all due respect, I want to tell you that the truth is that Michael Ellis, the manager of El General, told me not to say "reggae", to put it as something big and as to everything big we put "ón", like cabezón (“big head”), camisón (“nightgown”), etc, then, we call it “reggaeton”, a big “reggae”. It is the full truth.
