I think that comes from a Spanish-speaking group doing mainstream rap. They ran into that problem originally too with their labels wanting them to be a latin hip-hop group (which has an audience it's just pretty) niche and they didn't want to do that.
You can not like them, but I don't think you can call them a gimmick or a novelty act. They were always pretty authentic and they outlasted most hip hop artists and groups from their era.
That’s certainly fair and probably not fair on my part. I only listened to their first album anyway.
