"Mensaje de Estado" (State Message in Spanish), is a 2007 promo single by Daddy Yankee. The song and accompanying video were only released as an advertisement for the album and were shortened to 2 minutes and 35 seconds.[1] It is a diss track to fellow reggaeton singers Don Omar and Wisin y Yandel.[citation needed]

[edit] Music video

The music video, only released for advertisement purposes, depicts Daddy Yankee delivering a radio message, as he is delivering "un mensaje de estado", or a state-wide message.

[edit] As a message

In the song, it claims Daddy Yankee being the "king of Reggaeton" (el rey del reggaeton), which is also a diss toward Don Omar in which he claims to be the King of Reggaeton as well. The line ("Pudiéndome comprar un casa en Jupiter y otra en Marte sigo en Puerto Rico porque esto es clase aparte"/While I can buy a house in Jupiter and another in Mars, I'll stay here in Puerto Rico because this is a divided class"). This is a direct diss to reggaeton-duo Wisin y Yandel because they claim in their album Wisin vs. Yandel: Los Extraterrestres that they are "The Extraterrestrials" of reggaeton and their music is beyond Mars and Jupiter, and consider themselves the best in any reggaeton class meaning the genre all together. The diss was created due to Wisin & Yandel suddenly supporting Don Omar in his feud against Gold Star Music where artists like Hector "El Father", Yomo, and Polaco have supported Daddy Yankee in his feud against Don Omar and Arcangel for the reggaeton throne.
