Mexican disc jockey DJ Morphius and American production duo Muzik Junkies received credit for the use of their song "Trompeta y Guaracha" (2019) on "Hot". All producers were also credited as programmers. Gaby Music, who produced several singles for Daddy Yankee and was one of the recording engineers of " Despacito " (2017), posted that it
6336-563: The lower-case print is due to the characteristic word forms furnished by this type. This permits reading by word units, while all capitals tend to be read letter by letter. Furthermore, since all-capital printing takes at least one-third more space than lower case, more fixation pauses are required for reading the same amount of material. The use of all capitals should be dispensed with in every printing situation. According to Tinker, "As early as 1914, Starch reported that material set in Roman lower case
6435-459: The magazine describing it as "a final victory lap that captures the magic of his three-decade career," while the single "X Última Vez" was ranked 80th on their best songs of the year ranking. The publication's Spanish-language edition considered it to be one of the year's most important records in Spanish, describing it as a "love letter to the genre". Uproxx contributor Lucas Villa found it to be among
6534-452: The magic of the past," while Spin ' s Lucas Villa praised it as an "impressive amalgamation of reggaetón's legacy". "Rumbatón" and "El Abusador del Abusador" were complimented as "nostalgic callbacks to the salsa-reggaeton fusions of the mid-2000s," with the former referred to as a horn -led "return to bachatón". Herrera also praised "Uno Quitao' y Otro Puesto" as a "corrosively effective blast of late-career posturing," "Enchuletiao'" as
6633-430: The melodies of "Uno Quitao' y Otro Puesto" and "Campeón", as well as the drumline of the latter, and the synthesized trumpets and bass of "El Abusador del Abusador".

All caps In typography , text or font in all caps (short for " all capitals ") contains capital letters without any lowercase letters. For example: THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPS OVER THE LAZY DOG. All-caps text can be seen in legal documents, advertisements , newspaper headlines , and
6930-523: The opportunity to add marginal notes emphasising key points. Legal writing expert Bryan A. Garner has described the practice as "ghastly". A 2020 study found that all-caps in legal texts is ineffective and is, in fact, harmful to older readers. In 2002, a US court spoke out against the practice, ruling that simply making text all-capitals has no bearing on whether it is clear and easily readable: Lawyers who think their caps lock keys are instant "make conspicuous" buttons are deluded. In determining whether
7029-485: The opportunity to enjoy everything he had achieved" after working non-stop for 32 years. He always wanted to retire young and felt that the time had come to "look for something beyond the industry" and to be a "normal person". He decided to feature a track list consisting entirely of new songs, without including previously released singles from past years, stating that "it would make an impression because it's something that isn't done anymore." He said that he will have music as
7128-585: The other hand, tracks including "Bombón" and "Hot" were heavily criticized as "egregious missteps" and "expendable" for sounding like coming from a long-gone era. Reviewing the album for The New York Times , Isabelia Herrera found a "good portion of the songs" to follow "prosaic, predictable pop formats," describing "Para Siempre" as a "bland, mid-tempo popeton ballad" and "La Ola" and "Zona del Perreo" as sounding like "they were engineered for Spotify's 'Viva Latino' playlist." Nevertheless, fellow critics from AllMusic , Billboard and Remezcla included those tracks among
7227-489: The reading time. When this is combined with the difficulty in reading words in all-capital letters as units, the hindrance to rapid reading becomes marked. In the eye-movement study by Tinker and Patterson, the principal difference in oculomotor patterns between lower case and all capitals was the very large increase in number of fixation pauses for reading the all-capital print. All caps text should be eliminated from most forms of composition, according to Tinker: Considering

In the video, the rapper said that he "finally [saw] the finish line" and that he would "give [his fans] all the styles that have defined [him] in one single album," which he referred to as "his best production". The announcement was made on the 27th anniversary of Daddy Yankee's and his wife Mireddys Gonzalez's marriage; the latter posted that "[he] had enjoyed Daddy Yankee for
7425-567: The same ROM. Game designers often choose to have less characters in favor of more tiles. With the advent of the bulletin board system , or BBS, and later the Internet, typing messages in all caps commonly became closely identified with "shouting" or attention-seeking behavior, and may be considered rude. Its equivalence to shouting traces back to at least 1984 and before the Internet, back to printed typography usage of all capitals to mean shouting. For this reason, etiquette generally discourages
7524-413: The songs being leaked online during the filming of the music videos, dancers used in-ear monitors to listen to the tracks while the public and extras listened to a generic reggaeton drum pattern through speakers. 12 of the album's tracks debuted concurrently on the US Hot Latin Songs chart, including "Zona del Perreo", "Uno Quitao' y Otro Puesto" and "Campeón" in the top 40 and "El Abusador del Abusador" in

On September 10, 2020, Daddy Yankee closed a global distribution deal with Universal Music Group with plans of releasing a new album and producing
7722-425: The titles on book covers. Short strings of words in capital letters appear bolder and "louder" than mixed case, and this is sometimes referred to as "screaming" or "shouting". All caps can also be used to indicate that a given word is an acronym . Studies have been conducted on the readability and legibility of all caps text. Scientific testing from the 20th century onward has generally indicated that all caps text

8514-574: The use of all caps when posting messages online. While all caps can be used as an alternative to rich-text "bolding" for a single word or phrase, to express emphasis, repeated use of all caps can be considered "shouting" or irritating. Some aspects of Microsoft's Metro design language involve the use of all caps headings and titles.
