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]

The song "Girls" by Pitbull featuring Ke$ha is an upbeat party anthem with sexually suggestive lyrics. The song is about Pitbull's attraction to women and his love for them. The chorus repeats "Girls girls girls girls girls girls girls, I like, love, and need" with a catchy, sing-along melody that is meant to get the listener dancing and singing. The verses are filled with sexually suggestive lines such as "Now I promise I'll turn you out" and "Knock em' down like I'm bowling 10 at a time." These lyrics are meant to convey Pitbull's confidence and sexual prowess.
The song starts with a conversation between Pitbull and a woman, where he asks if she is bisexual and she responds with "No, I'm try, I'll try anything." The chorus then kicks in with the repetition of "Girls girls girls," followed by Pitbull's verses. Ke$ha joins the song for the bridge and delivers her own sexually charged lines. The song ends with the repetition of the chorus.
While the lyrics may be seen as controversial or offensive to some, the song was still a commercial success. It reached #9 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and was certified double Platinum in the United States, Canada, and Australia. "Girls" was also nominated for Top Rap Song at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards.
