Further proof Mexicans hate black people

Oh hell no!

It looks like I've been mentioned in another book, and they may have spelled my name wrong. Would this have happened to Michael Eric "Cornholio" Dyson?

The good news is that a) I've been quoted as one of the leading detractors of reggaeton, and b) of course they try to suggest this might be due to some beef I have with latinos. (Don't they know my beef is with the Jews?)

From the introduction to Reggaeton:

In a January 2006 article published by the Village Voice, Jon Caramanica ended a largely celebratory piece on reggaeton with a somewhat sudden, cryptic remark: “Fuck a Slim Shady,” he quipped, “Hip-Hop’s race war begins here.” Caramanica thus suggests that the most prominent “racial” tensions around hip-hop are not between African Americans and whites (represented by prominent white rapper, Slim Shady, a.k.a. Eminem) but between African Americans and Latinos. Similarly, blogger Bryan Crawford’s tongue-in-cheek March 2006 post for XXL magazine’s website, “Ban Reggaeton: Fight the Real Enemy of Hip-Hop,” makes one wonder how exactly -snide and enigmatic remarks aside - the perceived rivalry between hip-hop and reggaeton is informed by extramusical tensions between African Americans and Latinos.

I only started working for XXL in March of '06. That must have been like the third post I wrote for them. Wait until someone writes a book about Pimp C!

No but really, it could be that they spelled my name right in the book, and it was just misspelled by whoever transcribed this excerpt. I might try to flip through a copy, the next time I'm in a Barnes and Noble, to see if I need to contact the publisher, and to see if I'm mentioned elsewhere in the book.

And since reggaeton is the topic of discussion, after the jump is one of my favorite videos of Andressa Soares. Even though I've been informed that the music she dances to isn't reggaeton per se, but some other form of obnoxious latin music. In related news, I've just received word that the eskimos have 100 different words for ice.
