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 cover of Pitbull's 2005 album Money Is Still A Major Issue.Pitbull has a global music publishing deal with BMG Music Publishing.
Pitbull has contributed much to the Reggaeton music movement. He has worked alongside Zion Y Lennox in the song "Jump & Spread Out" featuring Miri Ben-Ari. He also participated in Daddy Yankee's "Gasolina" remix featuring N.O.R.E.. He was also featured in Yaga & Mackie Rank's "Muevete" hot Reggaeton single, and Elephant Man's "Rah Rah Medley" Remix. He appeared in Don Omar's pobre diabla remix and otra noche remix.
Pitbull is also known to appear in various remixes like an alternative remix to Salt Shaker by the Ying Yang Twins, Here We Go by Dirtbag & Timbaland, Promiscuous by Nelly Furtado & Timbaland , and Lovers and Friends by Lil Jon & The East Side Boyz featuring Usher & Ludacris by adding his own verses to the songs. In October 2006, Pitbull hosted a mixtape which featured him in remixes, side by side today's hottest rappers. The Mixtape was created by Blend DJ, DJ ACV. The two worked together in 2005, aswell. The mixtape has since been avaliable for download on the dj's website djknowskillz.com
In 2007 Pitbull and Stevie B. collaborated to do a remake of his dance hit "Spring Love" which is now titled as "Spring Love 2007".
Hey Ma
Pitbull Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So we don't gotta waste time
I know that you feel it
My hands upon your waist land
So won't you, come closer
Let me know you're all mine (let me know)
Let me know you're all mine (let go)
But not for long
And I might say goodbye
Right now, baby, right now
I need you
Hey mama, hey mama, hey mama, hey ma'
I need you
Hey mama, hey mama, hey mama, hey ma'
Girl, it's getting hotter
I can't take much more
I need you
Hey mama, hey mama, hey mama, hey ma'
I need you
I am what they wanna be, check the stats
James Bond in the flesh, girl, that's a fact
I was raised by OG's, so I'm low key (uh huh)
I'm what you need and you're like "Baby believe me"
I'm a freak that can eat, that can beat
That can treat you like the queen
That you was meant to be (Oh yeah)
I'm the good, I'm that raw, I'm that slick, I'm that dawg
With nothing to something, to have it all
Now, mami, just watch, learn and listen
I've got a feeling so good she stay switchin'
But before I banish, she spoke Spanish
She said: "Papito rico, te necesito"
I might stay tonight
But not for long
And I might say goodbye
But right now, yeah baby, right now
I need you
Hey mama, hey mama, hey mama, hey ma'
I need you
Hey mama, hey mama, hey mama, hey ma'

Hey mama, hey mama, hey mama, hey ma'
I need you (yeah yeah, oh yeah)
I need you, hey!
Pa' mi gente latina, stand up!
Cuba!
I need you
The lyrics to Pitbull's song Hey Ma are all about the irresistible attraction between two people who know they probably don't have a future together. Pitbull sings about being in the moment, focusing on the physical connection between the two, and enjoying it for what it is. He's looking for someone who can match him in every way; someone who can satisfy his freaky side, but also be treated with respect and like a queen. The chorus "Hey mama, hey mama, hey mama, hey ma'" is a repeated plea for that person to come closer and let him know that they're all his. He acknowledges that the feeling might be temporary but he's willing to take advantage of it for the time being. The song ends with Pitbull addressing his Latin fans and shouting out to Cuba.

Hey Ma (part. J Balvin y Pitbull)ft.
Camila Cabello
Dale, sin miedo
Arriésgate y sígueme el juego
Sola, creo
Di a tus amigas: Hasta luego
No des explicaciones, solo vente
Que tu mente es malvada, eso yo lo sé
En tu mirada yo lo puedo ver
Te mata mi estilo y eso yo lo sé
Vamo' a romper la disco, rampapampam
Baila que no te he visto, pampapampam
Porque tú eras lo que yo soñé
No perdamos el tiempo, pampapampam
I need you
Hey mama, hey mama, hey mama, hey ma'

Pa'lante con la libertad de Cuba
Y que la isla entera suba
De la Habana hasta Santiago
Todo mundo fumando puros y tomando tragos
¡Qué relajo! El vago trabaja doble
So, ponte las pilas
Todo mundo quiere una Cubana, ponte en fila
Esto es un party, que siga, como sea
¿Cómo qué? Como tú quieras, a tu manera
Are you single?
Quítate las payamitas pa' que tú veas
No soy un mono vestido de seda
Esas mujeres están calientes y mucho más
Te queman por aquí, te queman por allá
No miraré atrás, oh, no, ya no
No puedo respirar sin tu amor
Baby, tu amor
I need you
