Background

Before to "Grito Mundial", "El Ritmo No Perdona (Prende)" was released, back later he explained that was just to give the fans a little taste of his new album Daddy Yankee Mundial. The song was produced by El Musicólogo and Menes "Los de la Nasa", and was released on October 8, 2009 Airplay and digitally October 20, 2009.[2]

The song has been compared with fellow Puerto Rican artist Ricky Martin's worldwide hit "La Copa de la Vida", and Yankee it said he would like that the song to be used for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, as use "La Copa de la Vida" on the 1998 FIFA World Cup, Shakira's song "Waka Waka", was chosen instead.

Controversy

In a 2010 Facebook video, former collaborator Eddie Ávila (previously known as Eddie Dee) was asked about his relation with Daddy Yankee. He stated that, following creative differences between both that started in 2005 (with 2007 being the last time both communicated), he released a single in 2009 for his ultimately unreleased mixtape 180 Grados, entitled "Eso No Va Conmigo". Though not a diss track, Ávila has confirmed to have dissed Yankee in certain lines. This was because Ávila had been announcing his single when Yankee released "Grito Mundial" on the same date as Ávila's single, effectively overshadowing the latter. Angered and denying it to be a coincidence, Ávila changed some lines in his single in order to be directed towards Yankee. He considers this event as the motive, as he originally didn't reference his former ally.[3]

gollark: Muahahha, I am going to implement PUSH TO TALK using PULSEAUDIO HAX and PYTHON.
gollark: It's one of those things which is too vaguely defined to be *false* exactly, but rather stupid.
gollark: It doesn't seem very meaningful.
gollark: Okay, I kind of understand that sentence but not really? It seems to just be a convoluted way to say "lots of possible things could happen, but in one... universe or something... only a smaller amount of them can, so the weird thing you just encountered is a thing which might have happened but didn't and should be ignored".
gollark: Ah, the least infinite infinity.
