DALE LET’S GO! PITBULL CRUISE 2018



All aboard the Pitbull Cruise again for the ultimate Pitbull experience that can’t be replicated anywhere else with Mr Worldwide. The second annual Pitbull After Dark Party whisked away party goers on the Norwegian Jade from Miami to Nassau in the Bahamas between the 2-5th March 2018 for yet another jam packed, intensive, non-stop party-a-thon. Yet again proving that there is no party like a Pitbull party and there’s no party cruise like the Pitbull Cruise!

There’s nothing superficial or uptight about it.  The cruise is very much like what Pitbull himself embodies ‘realness’ and fun. As Pitbull’s phrase goes to get off the chain and what happens on the ship? Well that’s a case of ‘convenient amnesia’

So what’s different this time round? Pitbull is always looking to shake things up and do things differently so it’s no surprise that the second cruise has been mixed up in more ways than one before we even board the ship. First, we have the opportunity for those who booked during the pre-sale to be automatically entered into a fan lotto to win a range of on board experiences from a photo with Pitbull, Teppanyaki dinner with a toast by Pitbull, chance to introduce Pitbull before his Motivational Conversation and a Voli 305 Vodka Cocktail Hour with Pitbull.

Yet it doesn’t end there. There’s a cocktail of brand new experiences on board such as Pitbull’s very own vodka brand Voli 305 Vodka hosting the Voli 305 Musical Chairs game, a bar crawl and cocktail contest. Add a good few hours in Nassau, Bahamas with a selection of on shore excursions. While some are just too good to shake up like The Most Bad Ones Boot camp, Zumba, Silent disco and themed nights which this time round are the White Party and That 70’s Night.  We’ve only just touched upon a tip of what’s to come so without further ado let’s get on the ship.

DAY 1: Fri 2nd March

Pitbull paradise is upon us from the music in the hallways to images all over the place in one shape or form of the man himself. An escape from reality but a welcomed assault on the senses of all things Pitbull.  There’s no escaping Voli 305 Vodka anywhere either who this year have brand new concoctions at the bar with A Lo Pit (Voli, water and three lime wedges a ‘Pitbull drink’ and Pom Con Coco infused with Coconut and pomegranate juice and La Mulita infused with ginger beer and guava juice. I dare you to try to even choose just one as a favourite!  


After boarding and the important things are out of the way like the mandatory safety training, fans gather to take their place on the pool deck for a family photo and a shot of Voli 305 Vodka at the Sail Away Toast. Fans are handed out we free shot’s of Voli cocktails ready to down as Pitbull rolls on stage more prepared with a whole bottle in hand.

Where Mr Worldwide thanks his team, Flo Rida, Yandel, DJ Laz, fans who came in from all around the world. A thank you and a Happy Birthday to Becky G too who celebrated her birthday bash with the DJ ILL Set just before the Toast Off.  Reminiscing about the Miami boys on the ship hustling back in the days like Flo Rida and what a blessing it was to be on a ship together.

Acknowledging fans from Down Under in OZ waving their national flag with a “Like those in Australia say - Cheers Big Ears! To Love, life happiness, enjoy, have fun. Thank you all so much” Just before fans get to down a shot in unison with Mr Worldwide on stage.
We can all say we had a drink with Pitbull and a good few hundred other members of the Pitbull Fan Family of course!


That’s the toast done and we’re straight in with fellow Miamian and international superstar Flo Rida. Mr International Flo Rida wowed the excited crowds screaming with delight as he performed hits such as such as Good Feeling which was a fitting song to start with to match vibe in air. Speaking of air it wasn’t long before Flo got everyones hands ‘In The Ayer’ too! Hit after hit not forgetting the iconic Low. The moment that took it to another high especially for old school fans like myself was a surprise performance by Flo Rida with DJ Laz of Move Shake Drop getting some ladies from the crowd and onto the stage to do just that. Trademark Flo Rida getting involved with the crowd on another level with his own version of crowd surfing and throwing a handful of roses and dollars in the air.

Pitbull promised a non-stop party and that means straight in with DJ Danny West keeping the party going on after Flo Rida. Dance away or get active and head over to the Flip Cup Challenge. Congratulations to our #PitbullGirls for getting through the first round and thank you for taking on my sponsorship.

If the Voli 305 Vodka at the Sail Away Toast gave you a taste for more, then for a small fee cruisers can explore the different bars on the Norwegian Jade and have a good few drinks along the way on the Around The Jade Bar Crawl. A bar crawl on the ship with your hands not short of a drink of Voli 305 Vodka in hand.

From Pitbull the man himself to some of his closest friends in the industry spanning from the beginning of his career, join us on this jamboree upon the sea. An exceptionally talented team of scratchologist’s from Pitbull’s Sirius XM Channel 13 Globalization Radio and media personalities such as the legendary DJ Laz , The Latin Prince, Danny West, DJ Soulman, Damaged Goods, Santarosa, DJ ILL Set joined by DJ Johnny Seriuss and Crisco Kidd. Along of course his very own DJ Chino who all make the whole experience just as spectacular with their great sets. Pitbull, the talent, the activities are amazing but just as equally the ones that keep the vibe flowing, the feet dancing, the memories in creation and emotions that come with it and make the Pitbull Cruise experience incomparable are these remarkably skilled DJ’s with the humble, warm and approachable personalities to match. Believe me when I say you haven’t seen and felt music until you hear the talent on Globalization radio. These DJ’s are a HUGE part in making the cruise the success that it is. The Norwegian Jade is screaming DJ City and Globalization Radio, or as I like to say ‘There is always a DJ on THEIR decks on one of THE decks!’


After Danny West on the Pool Deck follows more personal dream DJ’s The Latin Prince and also DJ Laz warming up the crowd re-introducing Booty Bass to the ship while Voli 305 Girls throw out merchandise into the crowd, just before the first Pitbull concert starts at 10pm.

After Dark Party really does mean an ‘after dark’ party. What an incredible show nothing short of infectious energy to get the crowd going. Back drop before Mr Worldwide hits the stage has snippets with Tony Robbins CAN in the word can’t and Possible in the word imPOSSIBLE. Pitbull ever the motivator, manifestor, inspirer brings us these words even before the motivational conversation. Always a nugget of inspiration and motivation in between the breaks during the concerts by Pitbull.


Pitbull, The Agents, DJ Chino and the sassiest and fierce dancers The Most Bad Ones. The moment gets higher in anticipation of the signature Pitbull and Leo Brooks air guitar session which never ceases to amaze. What a phenomenal feeling. Outdoor concert, at night, somewhere on the ocean between Miami and the Bahamas. 

Simply exhilarating. Pitbull sets the stage alight with crowd pleasers such as Feel This Moment, Time Of Our Lives, Rain Over Me, Fireball, Hotel Room, Give Me Everything, Echa Pa’lla to some old school classics like Culo, to Mid school hits like Shake Señora. Mr Worldwide gave us a varied taste of old to new school and that was just a great trip down memory lane and the journey forward.

Taking a moment to look around, the proof is on the pool deck as once again we are reminded of just how Pitbull’s music still crosses all genres, all walks of  life, all ages in life. Fans from all over the United States and around the world from UK, Australia and beyond are brought together by the music of this one man. Pitbull. True to his word that music is the universal language. Ageless and genre-less with everyone on board to have a great time and celebrate life, this wonderful man and his wonderful team. A pleasure to see and meet the lovely Abuela 305 ‘Margarita’ who is in her 80’s and partying again with a bottle of Voli 305 Vodka and shown a lot of love from Mr Worldwide, Team Pitbull and fans alike.

But the party has only just got started. As the concert draws to a close elsewhere on the other decks, sets from DJ Chino, DJ Soulman, Danny West, Damaged Goods and Santarosa open up for those who still have energy to burn as the DJ’s thrill with their mixes as the cruisers dance away until the early hours near to 3am. Great to hear mixes from DJ Mutis throughout the nights too and to discover another great DJ! However, if you want to party to your own beat then the Sound Off Silent Disco is the place to be.


DAY 2: Sat 3rd March 

Up early and disembark at Nassau, Bahamas 8am where there is a choice of simply chilling on the beach and checking out local spots or a range of pre booked excursions such as swimming with dolphins (personally recommend) and other water based activities. If you didn’t fancy any of that then you can stay on the ship where Pitbull’s Globalization DJ’s spin tracks back to back until 3pm when The Most Bad Ones put us through our paces with their Dance Boot Camp and show us how to move.  As if the scorching sun on the pool deck wasn’t hot enough, more sizzle and sass with a lot of class by these talented ladies who heat things up even more.

Everyone back on board and report to the pool deck by 4:30pm where Yandel took the stage to bring some more Latin flavour on the ship. Didn’t matter how good your Spanish was as Yandel drew everyone into feeling the rhythm of reggeaeton.  Followed by rising star and stunning Becky G at 6:30pm keeping the crowd moving as the sun sets.  Who is then followed by DJ Soulman and Damaged Goods keeping the party going at various spots on the ship.

Continuing with the full on Latin theme, Bliss Lounge brings us Latin Dance Lessons to show off later where you can learn some salsa y mas!

After all that, it’s time for a drink and an intimate Voli 305 Mixology session at the Spinnaker room where the team create a cocktail mix and pass round shots of the drink. Inviting the audience on stage to make a toast and take a shot togetherThe Voli Mixology Sessions featured two winning recipes submitted as part of a contest. The lucky winners were The Succulent TMBO created by Sherri Ann O and the Espresso Voli-tini created by Jack D. A shot after shot after shot after responsible shot with variations of Voli 305 Vodka in an intimate dark setting.

The second night brings an ocean of white on board with the ‘White Party’ theme with cruisers dressed in all white attire in different styles- including one brave man who simply had on a white suit shirt and white socks. So even if you didn’t have anything to wear it was crazy and comfortable enough to ‘push the boat out’ and go all in or just go improvise with the unthinkable! It all works!

The clock hits 11pm and its time for the second Pitbull concertMr Worldwide says ‘The devil’s hot but I’m hotter’ and he certainly doesn’t need any sun to prove that as we get ready ‘after dark’ for another rip-roaring show creating waves of excitement on the pool deck yet again. There’s a certain sense of magic that a Pitbull concert brings and everyone that comes with that package. The Most Bad Ones are one of the best in their business and their personalities, energy really radiate outwards. While The Agents draw us in with the sounds. There are good bands that are Live and then there are GREAT ones like The Agents and DJ Chino fist pumping away reeling everyone in. It’s game over. The crowd has been driven into Pit-elation.

Still not tired? Keep working those floors on the pool deck throwing moves and ‘Drop It Like It’s White Hot’ in line with the dress theme with DJ Laz and DJ Candy Boy. Followed by DJ Santarosa and Danny West with DJ Crisco Kidd on the mic. When Santarosa, Danny West and Crisco Kidd get together you better hold tight. This trio get the crowd jumping along with them. Insane.

Elsewhere on the ship, visit the Royalty that is the Latin Prince and check out this accomplished DJ with an exceptional gift to sense and respond rapidly to the crowds ear at a deeper level with his thrilling and surprising sound blends in the Bliss Lounge followed by the unparalleled and talented DJ ILL Set that brings along infectious energy and throws a few dance moves herself as she’s DJ-ing lifting the crowd even more. Great to see DJ Johnny Seriuss on the mic too keeping us on our feet.

The Sound Off Silent Disco too is back again around the same time if you want a switch from speakers to headphones
  

Day 3: Sun 4th March 

Shake It off with some more Zumba and The Most Bad Ones Dance Boot Camp late morning on the deck. If your feet haven’t still touched the floor since we left shore then it’s time to spin around some more with the Voli 305 Musical Chairs with DJ ILL Set to entertain that inner child (a very grown up aged over 21 child) for an adaptation of musical chairs. When the music stops make sure you get that seat and be ready for some crazy challenges and shots of Voli in between!


Another spectacular show put on by Becky G before The Latin Prince gets the crowd going at 3pm for an hour just before the Pitbull Motivational Conversation starts. The Pitbull Motivational Conversation is the only time Pitbull can get the crowd on mute while he is on stage doing the inspirational talk sharing his wisdom. What makes it special is that it is real. Pitbull’s story, struggles, achievements and words of encouragement, drive and determination are moving and make an impact on fans. Mr Worldwide’s message is very relatable in one context or another in an engaging manner with ‘real talk’. Amongst one of the topics education and SLAM. Inspiring and giving children the opportunity and graduating them at 95% (and not stopping until it's at 100%) at the first school so far and making a change for the next generation. Thanking SLAM teachers and other teachers out there making a change. A shout out to the teacher always who changed his life, Hope Martinez.

Always love hearing these stories, especially the one about his mum slapping his hand while he was trying to turn off Tony Robbins in his mum’s radio in the car as a kid. Fast forward to today speaking on stage with Tony Robbin and moving in around the motivational field for which Armando has a natural knack for. With the ability to reach out and be a positive influence, example and impact on others starting with his very own fan base. See videos below

Always the teacher and sharing wisdom. Pitbull tells us about the two biggest diseases in the world his mum taught him is now passing on the lesson to us is ignorance and greed. Thought provoking, stirring, uplifting, motivating and always inspiring sessions. After the session was over Pitbull took a lot of time to walk around the crowd nearby taking photos, signing hats and even pulled out a $50 note, autographed it and gave it to a young boy.

Tonight sees That 70’s Night theme and cruisers get a chance to prepare with some old school moves with the 70’ Dance Lesson which was quite a blast.

With another Voli 305 Mixology session and Sound Off Silent Disco in between, the last night at sea which ended with a high from various sets by DJ City and Globalization Radio DJ’s throughout the final night.


DAY 4: Mon 5th March 

Alas all good things come to an end, for now. The second Pitbull Cruise by far surpassed any expectations and emotions I had with the first. The ultimate Party experience for anyone who simply love a great party. The Pitbull Cruise has raised the bar on the second annual cruise with the talent, activities and the overall handling and management by Sixthman and Norwegian Cruise Line. Thank you all for an incredible experience. Roll on 2019 Pitbull After Dark Party!

Dale!

OPTIONS VIDEO: MAKING & SHOWING A LOT OF HISTORY!


Colourful sign post introduces Pitbull and Stephen Marley's video to Options set in Kingston, Jamaica by Gil Green.


A different start to the usual Pitbull videos (with the exception of FUN also directed by Gil Green) with a longer, enjoyable banter between Stephen and Pitbull as they enjoy a game of Ludo outdoors before they make history later that evening and with Pitbull feeling right as home as a beautiful girl in shredded denim shorts and bright orange bright top walks past straight into the record-stroke-cafe directly behind him.

Distracted, Pitbull follows the beauty (and some more) in the shop to check out his 'options' as Marley heads for the studio - Looks like iconic Tuff Gong Studios - before joining Stephen in the studio in a casual open shirt vest on show (too hot for a suit there!)

Back with the girl and a Baddie or so, Pitbull rides off on a moped stopping briefly for some fresh coconut, he loves the kids and stops for a game of footy and school girls singing on the fence while The Most Bad Ones sex it up more between shots.

Not tearing up the history in the wrong way for a girl but more on show with pride. From the statue of the legendary Bob Marley in the Bob Marley Museum to other shots with Pitbull, Stephen along with more of the legendary family Damian (JR Gong) Marley and Julian R Marley within the museum.

Nightfalls, stick a brown jacket on Pitbull, grab the girl and party with the crowd. But not without the
Voli 305 Vodka on the rocks perhaps just as the bottles are sat on the rocks. Blink and you'll miss it along with the Party Patch.

Nice, chilled and enjoyable mini shots of the Bob Marley Museum.

An end still shot. Mr Worldwide grateful as always, stops with a shot as simply 'Thank you to the Marleys and Jamaica' by the iconic Bob Marley statue one hand on guitar and other in the air at the museum. At the end of all that I can say what a really cool video capturing a lot of Marley History and bringing it on screen to share with the globe, especially the studios, statue and museum.

Dale!

HEY MA! THE ENGLISH VERSION IS OUT!



Hey Ma! Did you the English song and video is out?

Camila Cabello, J Balvin join Pitbull again for the latest English Hey Ma song and video version of The Fate of the Furious directed by Gil Green.

Camila goes through the side streets walking with conviction, sass and sexily shrugging off male attention as she gets to where the street racing begins with Vin Diesel (well it is from a high speed themed car movie with scenes in Havana, Cuba!) and meets up with J Balvin ready in his colourful shirt and matching hair streaks!

The scene is Cuba but to those of us 305-familiar, it's instantly recognisable as the vibrant Espaniola Way meets Havana.

Still on the Cuban vibe as DJ Chino enjoys a game of dominoes with J Balvin and Jorge enjoying cigar, the boss rocks up soon enough in a flashy white sports car. Navy blue shirt, brown belt complimented by the same colour button details on Pitbull's crisp white blazer with a matching blue hankie peeking through the top side pocket. With his signature sunglasses, this is going on the list of one of my top Pitbull looks and favourite Pitbull videos to date.

Camila carries on teasing how she might stay and enter The Most Bad Ones stopping the traffic and cars with their stunning casual yet sexy Cuban outfits and tight dance moves circling Mr Worldwide who joins in with the drop-down-side stepping salsa moves. I cannot stress how much I admire these talented beautiful ladies!

"Papi te necesito" Pitbull shuts it down and tells the lady exactly what she's thinking as J Balvin, Camila Cabello and Mr Worldwide take us through the same softly lit street as night dawns, a quick change of outfits for the trio and maybe into a little side area.

Fiery, sexy, spicy, vibrant and fierce yet feel good video-dare you not to catch the Cuban flavour, sing the chorus for at least 10min after the video has finished or mimic the moves!

Dale!

MR 305, MR INTERNATIONAL & LUNCHMONEY LEWIS - GREEN LIGHT

They say good things come in three and what better than a trio of talented Miami fellas on one hell of a contagious track?

Mr 305 - Worldwide with Mr International Flo Rida and Lunchmoney Lewis beam out Green Light off Pitbull’s upcoming album Climate Change.

Lunchmoney Lewis owns the chorus which really hooks, grabs and takes it to the party level.

Pitbull grabs the intro and first verse telling mami’s what and how he’s going to do them. No messing around on this track as Pitbull gets straight to the point with “All I need Mami is for you to gimme
the green light so I can run through it like an easy pass. Find the G-spot and step on the gas!”  Among reference to famous names with “I’m getting loose in this thing, Like OJ the juice in this thing” While in a ‘tasteful’ reference to the late TLC member Lisa Left Eye Lopes burning her boyfriends house down “Feelin’ like Left Eye, boy I burn the roof in this thing!” Setting the roof on fire! I can only guess Pitbull is talking about his Uncle Luke (most likely the 2 Live Crew days!) when he says he feeling like Luke in this thing-getting the women all naked. While Flo Rida takes the second verse dropping Rhianna, and goes all Wimbledon on us with Venus and Serina.

Catchy, uplifting, smooth, light air-fist pumping party tune with a great hook. The sax right from the intro left me addicted to the track. So let’s party on! Red light, green light, everybody take a shot!”

SEXY BEACHES VIDEO REVIEW (YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED)


If you wanna go somewhere exotic you only need go far as Pitbull's Vevo and watch the new video for Pitbull's song 'Sexy Beaches' featuring Chloe Angelides from his Globalization album. However, you have been warned that this may not be enough and intense after effects of an impulsive plane ticket purchase to Miami is a strong possibility!

The Sexy Beaches video opens with a softer Miami Vice style theme. In a helicopter, camera birds-eye view chasing the ripples in the ocean below until the waves crash the beach to look up and see the beach and beautiful hotels in the skyline.

On screen comes Pitbull the sexy stranger in the golden shimmery Fontaine Bleau lobby while the gorgeous Most Bad Ones make an entrance on the beach and messing around in the sand playfully throughout the video (swimwear line ladies? Ahem Pitbull another joint venture opportunity?)

Many shots at Miami's Eden Roc Hotel and it's poolside to the bar where Pitbull and the ladies pull up for some cocktails with yes, you've guessed it. Some of Pitbull's Voli Vodka subtly placed behind the bar. Where Mr 305-Worldwide enjoys some drinks with the baddies before he spots another lady at the bar popping up in more places than the bar) and off Pitbull wonders.

Snapshots of boats, what looks like Fisher Island, hotels representing the art deco era with the American flag, Fontaine Bleau to more subliminal strategic advertising with T-Shirts slogans 'We Own The Sun #LoveFL'  to again with Pitbull being the official tourism ambassador for Visit Florida fits perfectly and closes the with a lingering shot of #LoveFL drawn into the sand. It's all about the marketing.

Fun, happy, feel good and sexy video directed by favourite Pitbull video director David Rousseau showing the calm and relaxed side of Miami to suit all. So what are we waiting for? Let's go find those Sexy Beaches! Hotels!

Check out the links, images and video below and look out for the Pitbull Visit Florida Contest for trip to Miami and maybe even the Pitbull Cruise on his Vevo.

2 SUPERSTARS, 1 SONG - DALE! THE OFFICIAL COPA AMERICA 2016 SONG - REVIEW

Seems Pitbull just 'Can't Get Enough' of Becky G so Ole Ola here we go again with another football (soccer) song! Produced by Dr Luke, Mr Worldwide with Becky G as guest vocals present us with the official Copa America 2016 song, Superstar. 

A Becky G and Pitbull collaboration is fast becoming a favourite collaboration of mine. Becky G reminds me of a younger Pitbull 'vibe' and lyrical force.

Opening with his signature introduction "Mr Worldwide" and as always graciously introducing any collaborators, in this case " Becky G!" Amongst a stadium-filled cheering crowd atmosphere to draw us right into the centre of the pitch with the upbeat sounds about to hit our ears as Pitbull smacks us with encouragement and most likely also directed to the the players on the pitch "It's not how you fall it's how you get back up" Reflecting not only the spirit of the beautiful game but also his own life, attitude and values. A lyric which can also be heard on another favourite, off his Rebelution album, Can't Stop Me Now

Far from scoring an own goal, the song is full of Latin flavour which captures the fighting spirit and party essence yet with global audience appeal that is sure to hit right at the back of the net on radio stations globally - Goaaal!

The official song cover, produced by Monkey Pig Inc is simple, effective and catching where even the texture of the gold football jumps out of the picture. Superstar is expected to be available on online stores on the 27th May.

Click on the song cover to listen to the song exclusively at PitbullUpdates.com

On that note, Pitbull Fan Unleashed checking in - checking out, 16 Teams, 10 Cities, 2 Superstars, 1 song - Dale!

SUN DON'T LET PITBULL, KEITH URBAN & NILE ROGERS DOWN!

Keith Urban's Sun Don't Let Me Down produced by Nile Rodgers has Pitbull on board the track with his seductive and playful rhyme and tones. Country keeps pulling Pitbull back and I just love that!

The song is featured on Keith Urban's latest album Ripcord - a ripcord defined as a cord pulled to open a parachute. Urban went straight in with the risk of different artist sounds with a Mr Worldwide collaboration amongst others and obviously the parachute opened with a pleasant sound as it glides through the sky to reach the ears of listeners worldwide. Sun Don't Let Me Down. Cross-Country, Cross-genres and Cross-ability to connect with different audiences. 

Let's break it down further. There are four key similarities and connections which stand out between Keith Urban and Pitbull.

Firstly, as Keith Urban finishes a new song Gone Tomorrow (Here Today) for his latest album his thoughts are with his father and father-in-law who had passed, and although this song is not the Pitbull collaboration it demonstrates shared values between the two of living in the moment. As Sun Don't Let Me Down about feeling the moment too before the night ends.

Secondly, the direction in which Keith Urban was going with Ripcord of diverse sounds and collaborations rings true to what Pitbull does with his albums and music. 

Thirdly, they both take risks with their music and diversity of collaborators.

Fourth, they both love a bit of Country!

Pitbull claims the intro and makes his presence on the track very clear with his signature introduction of the artist Keith Urban and himself Mr Worldwide, going on to "They say life is short so 'imma live it up. Tonight it's goin' down (just like in another one of his Country spins- Timber!) 'Till the sun comes up. Dale!"

Upbeat, feel-good, a little reflective. A little romantic twist from Keith's story and meaning behind the song "Sun Don't Let Me Down...she's almost in my arms right now" not wanting the night and moment to end so soon as sun needs to come up at some point. I hope the sun didn't let you down and you got the girl Keith! 

I think there could be a pretty cool summer night party on the beach with fairy lights linking the tree's in the background. The video playing out Keith's story while Pitbull out having fun with the crowd dancing away and Voli Vodka flowing freely. Keith obviously get's the girl and then the sun rises in the background without letting him down and Pitbull? Well he's over somewhere pulling some hair after some 'truth or dare'! (where do I sign up for the video directors seat please?)


Life's short so please can somebody fill our cups too with "Voli, water and lime" while we listen to the song below too, what do you say #PitbullGirls?

Dale!

BAD MAN PITBULL

The Thicke, the Bad, the Perry and the Barker. No it’s not a new spin on a Clint Eastwood film but a reference to Mr Worldwide’s new song, Bad Man with Robin Thicke, Travis Barker (drummer Blink 182) and Joe Perry (Guitarist Aerosmith). Pitbull continues to shock and surprise with this song and range of talents featured on it.  I dare you to listen to this without bopping your head away or playing the air guitar.

“This is history in the making” Causing more ‘Climate Change’ and set to bring on more 2016
‘disruption’ in the charts as Pitbull crosses genres once again with rap and rock. Running straight in with his rhymes invading your ears and commanding attention with the drums and electric guitar from the first verse with a little reference to those who may no longer enjoy his style of music anymore. “They Say he don’t write no more…They say like Le Bron he ain’t got no heat no more…They say he ain’t  street no more…Like Jay (Z)  Say how SICK am I wish em HEALTH fo’sure!”

Cool with it and acting the fool with it, clearly not bothered by fans-turned haters and focused on growth and success in all forms- pa’lante! And then SLAM! “Went back to one of my own neighbourhoods and build a school in it” which has to be one of my favourite stings in his rhymes. Before going on to thank God,  his mum and Miami. Then a staple on Pitbull songs – his empire and women and telling them to  “come and get it girl” (you heard him Pitbull Girls- please form an orderly line!)

Following Travis Barker on the drums throughout and that guitar bridge three quarters of the way through with Joe Perry- wow!

A good guy at heart but has to be a bad man in an evil world (and a women’s world!). Although a purely ‘old school’ style album from Pitbull would be very welcome, however one can understand how Pitbull’s audience has grown and diversified since so it may not be so easy to go back, or as Mr Worldwide may say ‘don’t look back’. It’s 90% business as Pitbull says and that’s how it’s successfully going and growing since. Pitbull has EVOLVED and GROWN and opened up the ears of those fans who are willing to listen, enjoy his old music but open to try something new and stick around for more and enjoy.

Bad Man is rumoured to be a single from Pitbull’s upcoming album Climate Change and will premiere at the 58th Grammy Awards show on the 15th February. Check out the photo taken by the rock star photographer himself, Greg Watermann during a rehearsal..

I’m sure there will be one hell of a video to go with this at some point and see this as a hot summer festival tune- Think we need ALL you to front Glastonbury here in the UK with this one Pitbull (feel free to get Stephen Tyler in for a remix too!)

Dale!
