Doubtful popularity outside Spain

The article read "Currently they enjoy considerable popularity with a huge base of fans throughout the Spanish-speaking world". before I deleted the sentence. This was a major, biased overstatement. In fact, almost nobody has even heard about them outside the Spanish borders. Whoever wrote it was talking about 400 million people. It only a fraction of the above phrase were true, their album sales would have toppled the European charts, and they would be wealthy beyond imagination; but that has not happened, so it is far from the truth. Why, even the (unsourced) claim to their popularity within Spain is doubtful, too! --AVM (talk) 04:08, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Quite some time later it is easier to find mentions of them as important to the development of hip hop in Spain and to have enjoyed some domestic success, albeit with sales figures that are modest on some scales. Appearances on national TV and an MTV award did happen. The waters are a muddied by the members choosing to work on many other projects over the past decade, but googling their names yields a not trivial number of web articles from Spain and Latin America. Not superstars but IMHO significant enough for a WP article. Regards Guffydrawers (talk) 16:23, 24 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
