Black Point: Watagatapitusberry Featuring Pitbull Tuesday March 2nd, 2010 9:00am EST When it comes to Latin urban music, Dominican hip-hop has often been overlooked. The immense splash reggaeton had on the music industry and the publicity it gave Puerto Rico made many aspiring artists superstars. However, the Dominican Republic measures favorably with the best rappers. The problem is that many are still known locally and in the New York City area where a large portion of Dominicans can be found thriving in neighborhoods, including Manhattan’s Washington Heights and Inwood. By word of mouth and reputation building, artists such as Lapiz Conciente and Vakero have made inroads. Black Point is from the camp of Lapiz, so we can expect a great deal of quality from his debut effort. Black Point built such a fanatical following in the Dominican Republic’s capital Santo Domingo that even hitmaker Pitbull wanted to work with him. By utilizing social networks like YouTube, Black Point has built a local buzz to the tune of an average of 100,000 hits to the half million he accrued with the Pitbull pairing on “Watagatapitusberry.” So what is Watagatapitusberry mean? According to internet sites the song has a double meaning and if you do not know Spanish of the neighbourhoods of Santo Domingo, It becomes really hard to understand: Wata = hits Gata = girl P itus = for your Berry = vagina Wata = Lena Gata = Chica Pitus = Para tu Berry = Vagina wata-gata-pitus-berry watagatapitusberry However some people believe that it is a random word that created by Dominicans that has no real known meaning and has become a popular replacement to say for whatever.
