PITBULL SINGLES POLL

the anthem easy

mainly for lil jon screaming DALE! DALE! but also cause dude basically rips the first verse

Voted "Toma". Problem with "The Anthem" is that I'd rather just listen to "Mami el Negro" and/or "Calabria".

There are so many defensible picks here tho. I'd probaly even include "The Anthem" in that.

probably!!!

oh wow i love so many of these

^^

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

whoa

i was just gonna start this

like, i'm listening to GASOLINA right now

ok the best one is "dammit man" for WHEN I PUT IT IN THEY MOUTH I GOT THEM MAMIS SAYIN DUHNUHNUHNUH

Culo
Dammit Man
Back Up
Toma
Shake

^^these 5 are so incredible

his newer stuff... idk "the anthem" will always pale in comparison to "calabria" for me and "krazy" is good but ehhh

"calle ocho" or w/e is awesome tho, <3 speedy pitbull raps

also an honorable mention for having the most underrated verse in the history of dj khaled singles

i was also just thinking that i admire him for sticking to his guns and not falling back on some jim jonsin bleep bloop ringtone single to try and breakthrough even tho the two of them go way back

OYE LOCA
VEN PACA

she don't like bacon?
COOOOOL i'll give her sausage

'the anthem' > 'calabria' b/c it's essentially 'calabria' with added pitbull being awesome. "you see me with your girls, you started to flirt => back of the club, hand up her skirt"

the 'hit the floor' is so so so insane. 'bojangles' too. the best pitbull singles are just so amazingly physical. i still can't come close to choosing

* 'hit the floor' beat

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Yeah I didn't make up my mind in time to vote.

"Krazy" is at least an odd/interesting move, if I'd heard it out of context I would have thought it was Armand Van Helden.

I can't decide b/w "The Anthem" and "Calabria". I think the beat is a little better-sounding on the latter and there's something so inspired about the rapping e.g. "play with it a likkle..."

Didn't see this poll. :(

I love the rapping on "Calabria" so much. Pitbull never quite connects on his version imo.

Who voted for "Dime"?

i hadn't really been feeling any of the singles off the next album but 'floor on fire' has me hyped for it again.

NOW THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN BOUT

id like to hear funky sound more like that tune. ie more hype.

never saw this thread

woulda voted for "Shake" or "Ay Chico"

ay chico

also miami shit (album track)

I think Flight Of The Concords directed this video.. or was it Tim & Eric...

Would people please stop referring to Pitbull as a reggaeton artist? Even if he does incorporate some (relatively minor) elements of reggaeton into his music, it's factually untrue. *continues ranting at ceiling*

Raggeton fan yells at cloud.

basically, yeah

i don't really follow reggaeton but the constant miscategorization of pitbull has always totally bugged me too -- got haughty about it on this thread when El Mariel came out: Rolling 2006 Hip Hop Thread

ha. im so gonna read that whole thread tonight.

does reggaeton imply hookless atonal shouting? then this is reggaeton

lol @ people saying the exact same things about reggaeton they used to say about rap

im old ;_;

reggaeton is pretty lame on the whole imo

grime too, but then again i hate all people that aren't americans

puerto ricans are americans

and new york is just as important a center of reggaeton as san juan. grime doesn't work as a parallel at all, and that's even before you get into the language issues

none of which changes the fact that Pitbull isn't reggaeton

hey btw ive never heard a pitbull song besides "i know you want me" so i'm basically just trolling here

when i was working at this mexican place two summers ago they'd always play reggaeton in the morning before we opened and i was like "man this fucking music all sounds the same" and then i found out a few months later that it was just the same playlist every day

kev there are so many classic pitbull singles

seriously

is "i know you want me" one of them?

i think it's great (i seem to be in the minority, based on jukebox at least) but no it's not one of his classic singles

agreed

was pitbull always such a doofus??

or did he just get goofier and sillier as time went on?

i dunno can you be more specific? i mean "Dammit Man" is pretty goofy.

the best part of coming down to miami is sometimes there will be three diff pitbull songs on three diff stations

dude was always mad silly

pitbull is amazing

didn't see this thread the first time around but am kind of amazed that "hit the floor" didn't get a vote!

then again i guess it's not "his" track technically

his stuff has gotten progressively derivative and weak.

i wanted to like the boatlift, didn't happen

calle ocho is this close to cringeworthy, a nail in the coffin as far as i'm concerned

i haven't been feeling the singles following "krazy," but then I wish Pitbull would just make a whole album with Lil Jon. He's such a good hype man for Pit. Maybe get Nivea and the Ying Yang Twins in on it for some kind of batshit belated crunk response to the black eyed peas.

^^^would be wholly down with and wholly get down to that

@LadyChann Hate dat shitty Pitbull track ! Uno! Dos! Tres! Fuck off!

don't agree with her but this made me laugh. pitbull has never had a solo uk top 40 hit before but this is inexplicably blowing up HUGE.

it was also his first top 10 hit in the U.S. and just as inexplicable here

^^^^^

Anyone knows what's the song he samples on "around the world"? (if he samples any)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfFPsMVBAxg

if you heard only the chorus of "hotel room service" you could read it as the beginning of a very fun gay night out

haha

that song is a banger imo

yeah i still hear it dropped into radio mixes here all the time & i realized the other day that i'd rather beyonce have done a song over that beat than "pon de floor" -- that synth riff is so great

Never liked that song :(

i realized the other day that i'd rather beyonce have done a song over that beat than "pon de floor" -- that synth riff is so great

wouldn't this just be doing a song over the "push the feeling on" beat?

i always thought it was cool that he name dropped waka flocka on one of usher's biggest hits ever

heard that song the other day & had that same thought & realized how dope it would be if flocka got pitbull to spit some vintage pitbull raps for his album

i feel like as much as Pit's music/image has changed, his actual rapping hasn't much at all. like if you threw on a 2004 crunk beat and had him do a verse, it would probably sound just like something off M.I.A.M.I.

also is "DJ Got Us Fallin' In Love Again" really one of Usher's biggest hits ever? i'm not even sure it was a bigger hit than "No Hands."

Way bigger than "No Hands".

i dunno if that's the case in America, i know it was big internationally though.

hmm for some reason i assumed "dj got us fallin in love again" had hit #1 -- in any event, one of the usher's biggest hits since 'confessions', which is still something

& i guess you're right in terms of pit's rapping not really changing, but i mean just throwing him on some hard ass luger beat

anyway i hear "dj" all the time still, so i think my perspective is a bit screwed

In US:

"DJ...": #4
"No Hands": #13

Still, I wouldn't call it "One of his biggest hits ever" with 9 #1s hits.

yeah exactly

of course any usher song is going to chart higher on the hot 100 than any southern rap song -- but like the 2nd biggest southern rap song of the past year vs. the 23rd biggest eurodance song of the past year, i dunno. also both have roughly the same # of youtube views, for whatever that's worth.

Pitbull is the biggest dork

haha yeah

That "International Love" song is the biggest menace on the radio because it lulls me into this false complacency of "Oh, it's Pitbull! I like Pitbull" and then I do total spittake when fucking Chris Brown comes chirping in.

I miss Pitbull feat Lil Jon.

otm

International Love, Give Me Everything, and that J-Lo song are all really terrible imo

but yeah, miccio otm

So, his Men In Black III tie-in song, "Back In Time" samples Mickey & Sylvia's "Love Is Strange". I think it's growing on me!

wait will's outsourcing the theme song this time? disappointing

this fuckin guy

"So Pitbull Wants to Make Charter Schools 'Cool' and 'Sexy'"

it's possible than when Pit walks into any type of building he just thinks about how to make it sexier and put everyone in miniskirts and tanktops

"Don't Stop the Party" has become my family's theme song. I think my kids are gonna invite Pitbull to their next birthday parties.

"i know you want me" classic

Dammit Man 0

this is the worst poll result in ilm history

i like "can't believe it" or w/e that new flo rida song is

pitbull talking shit in spanish forever

Somehow this thread prompted some scrounging and led me to this flashback from 2004...

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A9488-2004Jul23.html

kinda surprised it's taken this long for Pitbull and Flo Rida to do a song together. Always felt like the latter ripped off the former's style wholesale tho

lol for days:

how the fuck does he do it?? every time!

"how about like a latin mashup of funky cold medina, ´bang bang' by joe cuba and like i dunno, country?"

*money press cranks up*

fwiw i love fireball
