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 2006's El Mariel, 2007's The Boatlift and 2009's Rebelution, which debuted at #8 on the Billboard 200.
Pitbull's breakout hit was the Lil Jon collabo "Culo" 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 freedom fighter revolutionary leader 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 freedom fighter revolutionary Che Guevara's iconization in clothing and other areas. In video games, Pitbull's hit single "Dammit Man" 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 1980's Scarface. His super hit "Toma" is featured in WWE Day of Reckoning 2. Also, an album cut, "Back Up" produced by The Diaz Brothers, is featured on the EA game Fight Night: Round 2. In late 2005 he re-released "M.I.A.M.I." as a separate charting entry, whilst his "Welcome to the 305" mixtape was released. In January 2006 he guest-starred in UPN's South Beach. Also in 2006 he recorded "Nuestro Himno" in collaboration with Wyclef Jean, Carlos Ponce, and Olga Tañón.
The first single from El Mariel has been released, entitled "Bojangles". 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 Pitbull's 2007 release of an all-Spanish album entitled "Armando", which will have an Afro-Cuban feel[1]

Drive You Crazy
Pitbull Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I don't mind driving you crazy
I heard you like to go fast girl
'Cause no, I don't run out of gas girl
So would you let me pull up to your bumper
In my new black car
Girl rev up your engine, I'll push start your ignition
Pull up to your bumper
Girl rev up your engine, I'll push start your ignition
And let's ride... baby
While I drive... you crazy
Let's ride... baby
While I drive... you crazy
Catch me on New Year's Eve, on Fox
Bringing that Miami Heat, white hot
She's like "papi, why you work so hard", why not?
That's not what she says when I'm working that box
Now ride baby, forget about the past and ride baby
Once you give it up, you'll be mine baby
Not on the first night, don't lie baby
'Cause girl I like it fast, you like it slow
Where I'm gonna take you, you never been before
Hit the gas until we lose control
You in for a wild ride
Do you wanna ride baby
'Cause I don't mind driving you crazy
I heard you like to go fast girl
'Cause no, I don't run out of gas girl
So would you let me pull up to your bumper
In my new black car
Girl rev up your engine, I'll push start your ignition
Pull up to your bumper
In my new black car
Girl rev up your engine, I'll push start your ignition
Ride it like a first class seat on a plane
Baby, go insane, make me remember your name
As we go up and down, roller coaster ride
Spread it open, let me go inside
Let me slide in between and park my stretch limousine
When I slap that ass, you soaking wet
Tonights one night, that you won't forget
We tryna get a bone, let's play fetch, baby
I'm on deck like an old cassette
When I'm through, you gon' want you a souvenir
Stuff so good, make you shed a tear
With a smile on your face from ear-to-ear
And a tattoo that say "Juicy J was here."
'Cause girl I like it fast, you like it slow
Where I'm gonna take you, you never been before
Hit the gas until we lose control
You in for a wild ride
Do you wanna ride baby
'Cause I don't mind driving you crazy
I heard you like to go fast girl
'Cause no, I don't run out of gas girl
So would you let me pull up to your bumper
In my new black car
Girl rev up your engine, I'll push start your ignition
Pull up to your bumper
In my new black car
Girl rev up your engine, I'll push start your ignition
The song "Drive You Crazy" by Pitbull featuring Jason Derulo and Juicy J is a song that alludes to the feeling of seduction and the rush of adrenaline from a dangerous, thrilling ride. The hook "Do you wanna ride baby? 'Cause I don't mind driving you crazy" reveals the invitation to a wild ride that the singer is offering. The lyrics describe a love affair that promises to be unforgettable, with the singer portraying himself as a confident, seductive partner.
The opening lines "I heard you like to go fast girl, 'Cause no, I don't run out of gas girl" indicates the singer's confidence in his ability to satisfy his partner sexually, and the chorus "Let's ride... baby, while I drive... you crazy" reinforces this idea. The verse by Juicy J brings in a more explicit language, as he raps about sexual intercourse and his past experiences.
The overall theme of the song is seduction and thrilling love, where the singer is inviting his partner to let go of their inhibitions and indulge in wild, uncharted territories. The repetition of the words "ride" and "drive" throughout the song metaphorically represents the desire and power dynamic of the relationship.
