Product Review

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.

AYEEYOOOOOO - See all my reviews
This review is from: Miami (Audio CD)
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...Read more

Anthony Rupert "shut up, Shut Up, SHUT UP!!!" (Milwaukee, WI) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Miami (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...Read more

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!!!
