Pitbull

Pitbull is the rare rapper who has managed to balance hip-hop cred with chart-topping pop success. The bilingual MC from Miami first broke onto the scene in 2004 with "C**o," an homage to ladies' backsides (laced with plenty of Lil Jon shouts) that was many listeners' first introduction to the Reggaeton genre. "I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)" was a worldwide club smash that made Pitbull a household name and solidified his status as Miami's dance floor king.

Pitbull isn't just a spitfire solo artist; he's collaborated with a list of other rappers and pop acts that reads nearly as long as 'War and Peace.' Pitbull's guest appearance on Enrique Iglesias' "I Like It" may not be a musical marriage made in heaven, but ensured Pitbull a continued presence on Top 40 stations and fandom among mainstream pop fans. Pitbull & Twista's "Hit The Floor" is a beat-heavy hip-hop anthem laced with window-rattling bass that is sure to pack the dance floor. Here is where you'll also find Pitbull collaborations with Jim Jones, Pharrell (Neptunes) and Adassa.

With his sophomore album, El Mariel, named after the infamous boatlift that relocated almost 125,000 Cuban immigrants to Florida, Pitbull has made perhaps the biggest impact of any Latino in hip-hop since Big Pun. The 2004 debut M.I.A.M.I. (with its inescapable radio hit "C**o") put Pitbull in the rare category of bilingual rappers who have achieved major success at English-language radio. The Miami-based MC has collaborated with a who's who of hip-hop, reggaeton and pop artists, including Lil Jon, Ying Yang Twins, Enrique Iglesias, Daddy Yankee, Twista and Rick Ross. This collection features all of Pitbull's hits, including "I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)," "The Anthem," "C**o," "Fuego," "Toma," and "Bojangles."
