Editorial Reviews

There's plenty to appreciate on M.I.A.M.I. It features "That's Nasty" (Remix) which Pitbull spits alongside Lil Jon & Latin rap titan Fat Joe. Also present is his breakout single - "Oye" from the 2 Fast 2 Furious soundtrack which rolls off the disc like a digital Brazilian carnival. Elsewhere, Bull shows the ability to ride over pimp fabulous tracks like Miami's Finest' & the cautionary "Hustler's Withdrawal" a reference to the dark side of Miami's cosmopolitan, party-friendly atmosphere. "We get nothing but Tony Montanas down here," he said, referring to Al Pacino's legendary Scarface character. "And not everyone can stay on top - there are more failed hustlers than there are successful ones." If it seems like Pitbull is cramming a lot onto his debut, well, he is. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

DON'T JUDGE THIS ALBUM ON THE FIRST SEVEN TRACKS! Only 305 Anthem and Toma are worth listening to in the first half.

1. 305 Anthem 5/5 - If you like crunk, this is the song for you. Pure fire from the start; this song will get you going no matter what.

 

2. Culo 3/5 - Not a bad party song, but I think we've all heard this one too much.

3. She's Freaky 2/5 - Annoying song, TVT should've put on a few other songs besides this one.

 

4. Shake It Up 1/5 - What the hell is TVT doing trying to bump Oobie on three different tracks? One is fine, but nobody who listens to Pitbull wants to hear her trite voice over and over.

5. Toma 4/5 - Coñññoooo asi me gusta. Toma is a pure grind song, that'll get both the mamis and chicos going.

6. I Wonder 3/5 - Only half decent song with Oobie. Someone should let TVT know they F--ed up by throwing her into so many tracks.

7. Get On The Floor 2/5 - Finally, the last Oobie song, and the beginning of Pit's true self on the album. Only Toma and 305 Anthem are worth listening to on the first part of this album.

8. Dirty 4/5 - Dirty Dirty, ya heard me? Bun B and Pit tear this track up. Pit spits Miami is more than fast cars and hot bitches, with some of the best lines on the album.

9. Dammit Man 5/5 - Can't believe this isn't a radio hit yet. Dammit Man is pure fire, with some of the best lines any lyricist has ever spit on a track.

 

10. We Don't Care Bout You 4/5 - I like the original beat better, but Cubo gets in on the act, and complements Pit well.

11. Thats Nasty (the REMIX) 5/5 - If you hate on me, me cago en tu madre, hazme un favor, dale compadre, este chamaco ES UN SALVAJE! Pitbull and Fat Joe tear it up on the remix to the original Thats Nasty.

12. Back Up 3/5 - Really popular club song. I think it's overrated.

13. Melting Pot 5/5 - Trick Daddy and Pit do a great job on this sentimental track.

14. Hustlers Withdrawal 3/5 - I hate the 80s beat to this song, but Pit talks about his life, and the hardships he's overcome.

15. Hurry and Wait 5/5 - Fast-paced song, one of my favorite on the album.

16. Culo "Miami Mix" - When is this song gonna disappear?

Format:Audio CD
Cuban-American rapper Pitbull is another addition to Lil Jon's crew. It's obvious by the title of his album what city he's representing (as well as representing the South), and for the most part, the rest of the world should be able to get into his stuff too.

But as another reviewer mentioned, he really isn't all that exciting when he's rapping by himself. He's only alone on four of the sixteen tracks, and the only one of them that really stands out is "Hustler's Withdrawal". "Hurry Up and Wait" (isn't that a contradiction in terms?) is tolerable, but "Back Up" and "She's Freaky" are mediocre.

Don't be too disappointed, though; there are still some good songs on here. Since Pitbull is tight with Lil Jon, Jon doesn't mind helping out in producing danceable tracks like "Culo", "Toma", "That's Nasty" (also featuring Fat Joe), and "305 Anthem". Bun-B also shows up to bless "Dirty", but even better than that song is the Trick Daddy-assisted "Melting Pot", which could be the best song on the album. "Dammit Man" is also pretty decent, although I'm not exactly sure why it's censored.

It's too bad that Oobie (the female singer that seems to show up on all rap albums that nobody has) doesn't impress as much as the other guest stars. Not that she doesn't have a nice voice, but the songs she sings the chorus to ("Shake It Up", "I Wonder" and "Get On the Floor") are all filler. As you can see, this album has its share of questionable songs, but it's more than enough to satisfy a night out at the club. Let's just hope Pitbull's next album is a little more impressive.

WOW!!! This album was way more than I expected but I knew this would be a monster album after all the delays in the release, it was okay I still had Unleashed Vol 3 to jam too. 305 anthem is a work of art and so are most of the other songs except If God were black , (whats the point of that???)Pit is really reppin all the CUBANS down in S.Florida. This album is 10 stars not 5. When you got Lil Jon screaming out 305 u kno PITBULL IS REALLY OF THE CHAIN!!!

Trick Daddy reps Miami better than Pitbull
Lil jon, ok, you've tried to succeed with a new artist by the name of Pitbull. This guy's music is wack with a capital W. I've heard better rappers come out the 305 than Pitbull.

Pitbull delivers a huge blow to the rap game with his first album. Lil jon provides awsome beats and lots of guest appearances. I think a rapper like him is quite rare. Read more

New but Awesome
A rapper like Pitbull is rare. First of all, he is a Cuban from the South and he rose to a place where most rappers never reach even with the utmost effort. Read more
