Album : M.I.A.M.I
Release Date : August 24, 2004
Label : Tvt

Review :
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.
