About Pitbull
Armando Christian PAİrez (born January 15, 1981 in Miami, Florida), better known by the stage name Pitbull , is a Cuban-American rapper signed to his own label, Mr 305 Inc. The Give Me Everything (Tonight) Songfacts reports that he adopted his canine moniker because, aThey bite to lock. The dog is too stupid to lose. And theyare outlawed in Dade County. Theyare basically everything that I am. Itas been a constant fight.a
His first recorded performance was on Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz album Kings of Crunk in 2002, after which he released his debut album, M.I.A.M.I., in 2004. He has since released 2006as El Mariel, 2007as The Boatlift and 2009as Rebelution, which debuted at #8 on the Billboard 200.
Pitbullas breakout hit was the Lil Jon collabo aCuloa produced by Lil Jon & The Diaz Brothers. In addition, Pitbull has also released several mixtapes, the most recent being Unleashed Volume 6, which are mostly composed of freestyles and remixes of popular rap music. Both thematically and musically, the 25-year-old is seen as a modern-day equivalent of earlier Miami rappers such as the 2 Live Crew and Afro-Rican. It was in fact former 2 Live Crew leader Luther Campbell who gave the up and coming rapper his first chance to shine. Apart from Crunk, his album shows clear influences from both Miami bass and freestyle. In addition to his musical work, Pitbull has also been featured in The Source expressing his stance on Dictator Fidel Castro and he was also part of their Unsigned Hype Section. He contributed to an essay published in the New York Post that criticized Che Guevaraas iconization in clothing and other areas. In video games, Pitbullas hit single aDammit Mana produced by Jim Jonsin is featured in Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition, and he also plays himself in the upcoming video game based on the 1980as Scarface. His super hit aTomaa is featured in WWE Day of Reckoning 2. Also, an album cut, aBack Upa produced by The Diaz Brothers, is featured on the EA game Fight Night: Round 2. In late 2005 he re-released aM.I.A.M.I.a as a separate charting entry, whilst his aWelcome to the 305a mixtape was released. In January 2006 he guest-starred in UPNas South Beach. Also in 2006 he recorded aNuestro Himnoa in collaboration with Wyclef Jean, Carlos Ponce, and Olga TaAħA³n.
The first single from El Mariel has been released, entitled aBojanglesa. The album, slated for an October 31st release, will feature guest artists Lil Jon, Ken-Y of Rakim y Ken-Y, Rick Ross, Bun B and the Ying Yang Twins. El Mariel will lead up to Pitbullas 2007 release of an all-Spanish album entitled aArmandoa, which will have an Afro-Cuban feel
