Musical careers
At the age of 10 they started their career in 1988, and along with DJ Playero and Vico C, were one of the first reggaeton artists. Even so, they failed to get much recognition. By the age of 14 (1992) reggaeton was extremely popular among the underground scene. Due to its obscene and vulgar lyrics, the Puerto Rican government tried to eliminate it completely. Baby Rasta y Gringo, along with Tempo, responded by producing songs aimed at the government.
In 1998 they released their first album, titled New Prophecy. With the arrival of Héctor y Tito, who were quickly becoming reggaeton's greatest talent, were one of among others their biggest competition.
After only appearing on several compilation albums, they released their second album, Fire Live in 2003. It sold better than their previous album. Baby Rasta y Gringo were quickly garnering enemies, due to many of their songs being aimed at other artists, because other artists were dissing them in songs, namely Lito y Polaco and Pina Records. Even after all this, they were the most popular underground duo, with sold-out concerts in dance halls and such. They were also getting individual attention, with Baby Rasta being noted for his skills at writing romantic lyrics and Gringo for his rapping abilities.
With reggaeton finally getting worldwide recognition, and other duo's (H&T, Karel y Voltio, among others) on the verge of separating, they decided to try once more, and released Sentenciados in 2004. This was the break they had been waiting for for so long. Sentenciados was, and still is, regarded as one of the greatest reggaeton albums of all time. Featuring many hits, it included El Carnaval, the duo's biggest hit, and one of the most popular dancehall songs in Puerto Rico. They also made big hits with Cheka. Making songs together became a hit for Baby Rasta and Gringo.
[edit] Separation and solo careers
They separated in December, 2004 because of problems with their record producer, who Gringo says paid more attention to Baby Rasta alone, instead of to them both as a group. It has been alleged that they have an ongoing beef, with people alleging that Baby Rasta has dissed his former partner in live shows.
Baby Rasta has achieved success and fame, mostly due to his appearing on many artist's albums and landing a hit with his only Billboard Top 100 hit so far, Hay De Mi, with producer Noriega.
Gringo's solo album El Independiente was released in March of 2007. Gringo also released Reggaeton Con Navidad on December 13, 2005. It featured Bebe, Machito, Klasico, and many others.
In 2006 Baby Rasta released his first solo album "La Ultima Risa", which due to poor promotion did not reach incredible heights in terms of sales. However, many underground fans, most who bootlegged the album, labeled it as the best reggaeton album of the year. Later in 2006, Baby Rasta released his single "Toma Nena". Gringo released his solo album "El Independiente" in 2007. Baby Rasta has a new record of his own called Illegal Life Records
[edit] Reunited
In late 2007, Baby Rasta & Gringo have reunited for the first time in 3 years because Baby Rasta has said in previous interviews that he cant live without his babyboo Gringo. Baby Rasta is to come out with his new CD late 2007 or 2008. It's called 'Hip Hop Reality'
Ella Se Contradice
Baby Rasta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que no lo haga en el carro
Y se lo haga en la cama
En el baño y en la sala
Ella me engaña
Con el papel de niña sana
Porque le gusta que nos miren
Cuando lo hacemos en la ventana
Que la toquen que la besen por el cuello
Y que la jalen por el pelo
Ella me dice
Que no es una chica como esas
Dice que está mintiendo
Por la manera en que me besa
Ella quiere que le definan el amor
El sexo y la traición
Mientras yo, olvido la noción del tiempo
Siento que pierdo el control
Ella quiere que le definan el amor
El sexo y traición
Mientras yo, olvido la noción del tiempo
Siento que pierdo el control
Ella jura que me engaña
Que me enreda en su telaraña
Soy un loco, no conoce mi calaña
Suéltame algo, no seas tan tacaña
Pórtate bien de la fuerza y la maña
Apuesto lo que sea, que entren ya a la disco
Me importa mi flow, mi calaña
Soy él que lo marca
O controlas la nota papito
O te come la piraña
Póngase quieta (mami se te quieta)
Si lo hacemos en el piso vamo a hacer una grieta
Vamo' a hacer una grieta
Quítate el pantalón ma que yo sé que le aprieta
Ella quiere que le definan el amor
El sexo y la traición
Mientras yo, olvido la noción del tiempo
Siento que pierdo el control
Ella quiere que le definan el amor
El sexo y la traición
Mientras yo, olvido la noción del tiempo
Siento que pierdo el control
Desde que te vi aquel día
Me di cuenta lo que querías
Pasar contigo toda una noche
Para yo cumplir tus fantasias
Desde que te vi aquel día
Me di cuenta lo que querias
Pasar conmigo toda una noche
Para yo cumplir tus fantasías
Solo dame un momento
Pa' tu cuerpo
Es que yo quiero
Seguir ma tu movimiento
Cuando me baila lento
Me tiene envuelto
Tú me haces perder
La noción del tiempo
Y cuando me das un beso
Me prendo el talento me siento
Pretendo que me des
Un poquito de eso que tienes ahí
Cuando yo le doy un beso
Se prende el talento se siente
Pretende que le de
Un poquito de esto que tengo
Desde que te vi aquel día
Me di cuenta lo que querías
Pasar contigo toda la noche
Para yo cumplir tus fantasias
Desde que te vi aquel día
Me di cuenta lo que querías
Pasar contigo toda una noche
Para yo cumplir tus fantasías
Ella quiere que le definan el amor
El sexo y la traición
Mientras yo, olvido la nocion del tiempo
Siento que pierdo el control
Ella quiere que le definan el amor
El sexo y la traición
Mientras yo, olvido la noción del tiempo
Siento que pierdo el control

The song "Ella Se Contradice" by Baby Rasta & Gringo ft. Don Omar, Kendo Kaponi & Syko El Terror talks about a woman who contradicts herself in her desires for intimacy. She claims to be a good girl, but enjoys being watched while being intimate in various places. She also wants her lover to define love, sex, and betrayal while he loses control over his senses. The lyrics suggest that the woman plays with her lover's emotions and enjoys having power over him.
The song portrays a complicated relationship full of confusion, where desire and control battle each other. The singers express their frustration with the woman's contradictions and manipulation, while still being unable to resist her. The repeating chorus emphasizes the confusion and lack of control the singer feels over his feelings and actions when around the contradictory woman.
