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]

Pitbull Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You heard me, Sensato
It's Mr. Worldwide
Y El mundo helpatio
Let my dreams yall dormant
Category 6's are stormin'
Take this as a, take this as a warning
Welcome to, welcome to global warming
I'm tired of this rap shit 'cause all they do is rap shit
About coke shit, crack shit, click clack shit
But they never sold coke crack or click clack shit
That's why I'm laughing to the bang, ha-ha bitch
Private jets, I'm on that mile high shit
Without Denver, I'm going to November
Earth, wind, fire, I'm all for September
George Lopez puto, you remember
Now I'm stalked by bankers and lenders
Fuck these fake sugar ass niggas Splenda
I see your game, your plan, your agenda
They'll push your shit way back to Nintendo
No Facebook, Twitter or Instagram
I do it for the paper, I'm a business man
If you get it that's cool
It's all about the billionaires baby, welcome to the new school
Al banco voy a abrirle una cuenta
Pa' meterle miles miles y matarile
I get's money, en mi bloque hay misiles
Hay que comprarle chemises y zapatos bien reptiles
It's all about them billionaires
I'm so fucking serious
Look, I love them zeros, they looking like Cheerios
Monty like her period, y'all niggas gotta hurry up
My team is in your area, regando la epidemia
Tengo una novia Albania, blanquita macademia
Estoy enfermo de leucemia
Yall bronkers got anemia
So if you get it that's cool
It's all about them billionaires baby
Welcome to the new school
