In 1998, Wisin y Yandel got in the rap genre, recording for DJ Dicky's No Fear 3 under the Fresh Production label. In 1999, that same label signed them up and in that same year, they appeared in La Misión, Vol. 1, reaching gold status. The reception was so good that the label produced their first solo album in 2000 titled Los Reyes del Nuevo Milenio. Before that, Yandel was working as a barber while Wisin had already some musical projects in mind.
In 2001, they reappear in La Misión II winning them their second gold record. That year, they also released their second solo album, De Nuevos a Viejos, turning into the best-selling album in the island and giving them their third gold album. La Misión III' came out as successful as its predecessors (backed by the hit song "Dembow"), garnering them their fourth gold album. In that year, they won a "Tu Música" award as the "Most Important Rap & Reggae Duo".
In November 2002, they release their third album titled De Otra Manera. As it was expected, the album got them their fifth gold album. A year later, they released its follow-up called Mi Vida.
In 2004, both of them decided to take a break and go solo. Yandel recorded Quien Contra Mí while Wisin released El Sobreviviente. The latter became a smash-hit, with guest stars such as Daddy Yankee and Alexis y Fido.
In 2005, they released their latest album titled Pa'l Mundo. They appear in the new Daddy Yankee CD, Barrio Fino en Directo.
In 2006, an album called Pa'l Mundo Deluxe Edition will be released on May 16.
Wisin (also known as "W" ["double u"]) was born Juan Luis Morera Luna on December 15, 1979 while Yandel was born Llandel Veguilla Malavé on January 14, 1977.
Their latest album was released in November of 2005 named Pal Mundo.
Additionally, in 2005 they established their own record label, titled "WY Records" (Double U-Y). They are known throughout Puerto Rico as "El Duo Dinamico" or "El Duo De La Historia".
Me Quieren Detener
Wisin y Yandel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Todos,quieren mi fama
Como subi facil
Ahora todos me envidian
Nadie a podido hacer lo que yo hice
Y ahora todos sufren tienen que pasar por mi camino
Sentiran las furias de mi letras
Que tienen fuerza
Rompiendo oidos
Con los años de ignorates no quiero
Yo oir mas
Ninguno me ayudo a estar en donde yo estoy
Yo,yo,yo
Tu nombras como
Activas alos plomos
Y somos el duo del momento que controla todo
Solo ando esperando de que hagas un intento
Asi que atento
El rey del conocimiento
Anda con sus documentos
Y con sus normas
Ni secuaces ni forman
Y ahi se decide si wisin se transforma
En el demente dueño del motin
Generando el fin
De los que quieren con botin
De seguro que van a morir
Y para resumir
Te deves pulir
Para competir
Con los dementes
Wisin y yandel matandote(yo)
Me quieren detener
Todos,quieren mi fama
Como subi facil
Ahora todos me envidian
Nadie a podido hacer lo que yo hice
Y ahora todos sufren tienen que pasar por mi camino
Sentiran las furias de mi letras
Que tienen fuerza
Sentiran el ruido de mi voz
Rompiendo oidos
Con los años de ignorates no quiero
Yo oir mas
Ninguno me ayudo a estar en donde yo estoy
Yo,yo,yo,yo
Tu mente de tradicion con rimas
No te deprimas
Estoy conciente que esto a ti te lastima
Recoge tu patrocinio
Mis letras de aluminio
Tienen el dominio de este terreno
Y desde que te pegaste un freno
Dañino
Lo que espera tu destino
Se activa el intestino
Presenta unas cuantas golpes de balas
Paga
O te pondre en una carnada
Si esto como ir a la disco
Calles por un risco
Y toma san francisco
Tu clave la confisco
Pero atentate de este risco
Y se van a cita
Son rimas que del medio te quitan
Y si me piensas hacer una visita
Mis armas gritan
Cuando disparan
Ten cuidado que no mueras en la jugada
Para los que quisieron detener
Nuestra produccion salio yo!
Jajajaja
Los reyes del nuevo milenio llegaron
Wisin y yandel para quedarte yo
Ahora todos me envidian
Nadie a podido hacer lo que yo hice
Y ahora todos sufren tienen que pasar por mi camino
Sentiran las furias de mi letras
Que tienen fuerza
Sentiran el ruido de mi voz
Rompiendo oidos
Con los años de ignorates no quiero
Yo oir mas
Ninguno me ayudo a estar en donde yo estoy
Peace!
The lyrics to Wisin y Yandel's song "Me Quieren Detener" express the challenges that come with achieving fame and success. The duo addresses the envy and attempts to undermine their achievements from those around them. The opening lines state "Me quieren detener, todos quieren mi fama", which translates to "They want to stop me, everyone wants my fame." This line sets the tone for the rest of the song: a defiant stand against those who seek to bring them down.
Wisin y Yandel acknowledge that their rise may have been easy, but it does not diminish their hard work and perseverance. The line "Como subi facil, ahora todos me envidian" means "How easily I rose, now everyone envies me," highlights that it is easy to be judged by others who do not understand your journey. They also suggest that others have not been able to achieve what they have done, and now they must face the consequences of their ill intentions.
The song intertwines talk of their success with a call to action for those who may try to challenge it. The verses build up to the chorus, where they state that their opponents will feel the wrath of their lyrics and the power of their voice. They make it clear that they will not be silenced or held back and that none of their success is due to anyone else's help. The overall message of the song is one of strength and resilience.
