Wisin y Yandel won the top dos lenguas at last week's Los Premios MTV 2009, for "Artista del Año" y "Video del Año." As we reported last week, el Dúo Dinámico dedicated their "Artist of the Year" Premio to 50 Cent, who they credit with making este año tan especial para ellos. MTV News and MTV Tr3s caught up with the trio on the red carpet before the show, where we got 50's two cents on working con los reggaetoneros. Watch what the rapper had to say below.
Como pueden ver, 50 Cent regards working in the Latin market as an opportunity. In fact, el rapero is so confident in his work with Wisin y Yandel, that he believes they will win the Latin Grammy they are nominated for este año.
"This is exciting — when they win, I'm gonna finally win my trophy!"
Wisin también está de acuerdo.
"That nomination confirms what I've said all along, which is that these collaborations are necessary. 50 Cent was never nominated for a Latin Grammy. Then he works with Wisin y Yandel, and he scores a nomination. And there's a good chance that he'll win, because that song is an international hit."
T-Pain, who is also collaborating with Wisin y Yandel on "Imaginate" for their upcoming remix album, 'La Evolución,' también piensa que este es el mejor momento para colaboraciones entre artistas Latinos y anglos.
"[Our collaboration is] going to put them in my world and help put me in their world."
Este verdaderamente es el momento para 'La Evolución' de la musica latina. With so many collaborations between Latin and English-speaking artists, you know there's a new wave of Latin pride that's sure to follow! Que viva el orgullo Latino!! [MTV News]
