Ah, fascinating. They're both surprisingly similar, since I guess the spoken language evolves not just differently but faster than the written. (I don't think I even knew that Latin continuously evolved into today's Romance languages until I read about the history of spanish..) My colombian friends got me into reggaeton - I'd love some more links to your favourites please! Thanks :-)

Check out "Calle 13" ("Residente" nowadays): he moved from reggaeton to rap but the lyrics are decent and slow enough for a Spanish learner.
