Plot[edit]
Ramón Ayala (better known as Daddy Yankee) stars as Edgar Dinero, a young man from the streets of Puerto Rico who gets tangled between the thug life of his neighborhood and the beat of his neighborhood. On that path Edgar encounters disruption among his crew men, while falling in love with an uptown girl from whom Dinero must conceal his strong ties with the violent neighborhood underworld.
Dinero's first studio recording in New York City doesn't go well reflecting he has no energy, and sounding like he hasn't eaten. The uptown girl shows up in NYC and then he begins making strong recordings.
Multiple gunshot scenes happen throughout the movie, in Puerto Rico and in New York City.
The movie was mostly shot in the Barriada Morales, a marginalized community,[4] and at the José Gautier Benítez public housing, both barrios kings in the underworld of thug life in Caguas, Puerto Rico. Other places where filming took place were at Puerto Nuevo, in San Juan, and in New York City.

Reception[edit]

Musetto of New York Post said in his review for the film: 'Reggaeton star Daddy Yankee holds his own in his big-screen acting debut, Talento de Barrio. Too bad he's saddled with a generic script, based loosely on his own life'. Monika Fabian of Time Out New York said: 'Just as reggaetón is a fusion of hip-hop, reggae and traditional Puerto Rican rhythms, Talento de Barrio is also a mixture, albeit a woefully derivative one, of 8 Mile, Menace II Society and Carlito's Way.'

The purpose for the soundtrack is to promote the film, but details for a planned tour have not been disclosed, and no tour has been established since then. A planned re-release, entitled Daddy Yankee Mundial,[6] is set for release sometime in 2009[needs update], as announced on Daddy Yankee's official site, which is currently under construction.[7]
