Essentially a deluxe edition of Mas Flow: Los Benjamins, La Continuación includes roughly two and a half hours of music spread over the course of two CDs and one DVD.
LunyTunes began working on their follow-up to Mas Flow 2 in the year of 2005 immediately following the release of their multi-platinum hit album (latin certification).
During its initial release, the album received mixed reactions both critically and commercially for not living up to the sales originally projected by Universal Latino.
It was one of the first latin albums to be heavily featured on iTunes leading to successful sales of the single "Noche De Entierro (Nuestro Amor)".
It would not be until J Balvin and Nicky Jam's crossover mainstream success in 2014 and forward, that the major record labels would again look at reggaeton as a forerunner in the latin music industry.
Many fans at the time, felt "Los Benjamins" did not live up to the hype generated in the latin media as it is generally regarded as inferior to both "Mas Flow 1" and "Mas Flow 2" which were more organic productions connected with the authentic reggaeton from the streets versus "Los Benjamins" which is more pop influenced going as far to include the most famous pop group in latin music during that time in "RBD".
It appears that Universal Latino did a poor job in associating the lead single with Luny Tunes' album "Los Benjamins" as most mainstream consumers opted to buy "Noche De Entierro" on iTunes rather than the entire production.
[14] Over the course of time, "Los Benjamins" is now viewed as a classic album in the reggaeton genre, misunderstood at the time for its ambitious goals at pop-crossover success while maintaining reggaeton's essence and "Noche De Entierro (Nuestro Amor)" is recognized as one of the most famous songs in the history of latin music and Luny Tunes' 2nd most successful single to date as lead performers.
Despite low sales, thanks to massive bootlegging, "Mas Flow: Los Benjamins" became renowned throughout Latin America to the point it is now hailed as one of the classic reggaeton albums of all-time.
Sadly, the downfall of the reggaeton genre during this period is largely attributed to "Mas Flow: Los Benjamins" for not living up to expectations in its initial release and major latin labels soon started to focus on other less expensive musical genres such as Mexican Regional and Latin Pop due to reggaeton's success leading to increased budgets and expenditures.
[18][19][20][21] Baby Ranks would release his much anticipated "Mi Flow: This Is It" in 2008 distributed by Stardome Entertainment (a record label based in Israel) with the lead single "El Amor Se Fue" feat Angel Lopez (of Son By Four) peaking at #14 on the billboard tropical charts.
The album includes many incomplete and unreleased songs from the likes of "Daddy Yankee", "Wisin y Yandel", "Tito El Bambino", "Eddie Dee", "Mr Phillip", "Yo-Seph The One", and "Luigi 21 Plus" among others with the original production from Nely, Tainy, Bones, Nan2 and others.
