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]

Ask for advice, get money twice
I'm from the dirty, but that chico nice
Y'all call it a moment, I call it life
One day while my light is glowin'
I'll be in my castle golden
But until the gates are open

Long ways from them hard ways, bills, Os and oh-yays
Dade County always, 305 all day
Now baby, we can parley, or baby, we can party
She read books, especially about red rooms and tie ups (yeah)
I got her hooked, 'cause she seen me in a suit with the red tie tied up
Meet and greet, nice to meet ya, but time is money
Only difference is I own it, now let's stop time and enjoy this moment
One day while my light is glowin'

The lyrics to Pitbull's song "Feel This Moment" touch upon themes of ambition, success, and living in the present moment. The first stanza seems to reflect on the old adage that if you ask for money, you might receive advice, but if you ask for advice, you might end up with money too. The second line ('I'm from the Dirty, but that chico nice') indicates that the singer may have come from a difficult background, but has succeeded despite those odds. The third line ('Y'all call it a moment, I call it life') implies that the singer thinks of every moment as being precious and something to be lived to the fullest.
The chorus emphasizes the idea of living in the present moment, rather than always striving for the future. The line 'But until the gates are open, I just wanna feel this moment' implies that the singer is waiting for something to happen, but wants to enjoy life as it is in the meantime. The second verse references the singer's success and ambition, with lines like 'make dollars, I mean billions, I'm a genius, I mean brilliant.' The singer also reflects on the lessons they've learned from their experiences, suggesting that they have used their challenges to become stronger.
