Entertainment & Music Pitbull

[Bunk Moreland]

How does an ugly, chubby man who can't sing, dance or write lyrics become an international music star?

Genuine question.

All his songs are talented people singing whilst he just sorta stands there convulsing.

 

[Doss]

I also doubt there's a singer who has more blatant product placement in his songs either.

 

[UFO Tatsu]

Just put sexy girls in your music videos ... done

 

[Plugger35]

Well Meatloaf has made a career out of it so why not Pitbull?

[ioppolo]

Mr Worldwide!

Not to mention sampling songs at any given moment.

 

[Illinois Nazi]

Never heard of. Thought thread was going to be about a dog.

 

[GWBogan]

Come at me, bro.

That is unkind in the extreme

Rhyming words with the same word gets you places

Years ago I was watching WWE and The Rock was saying "Pitbull's going to be here tonight yeah!!". I was thinking "****ing who?!" then he came out and did a song and I recognised its awfulness.

In Lebanon yeah the women are bomb
And in Greece you've guessed it the women are sweet
Been all around the world but I ain't gon' lie
There's nothing like Miami’s heat

Greek women aren’t sweet.

And why would I have guessed that?

What?

You just made yourself an enemy my friend!!

I love Pitbull. As far as I'm concerned he's an absolute master troll.

He's not a good singer. Or dancer. Or even good looking. Credit where it's due he is bilingual. In that he knows some of English and some of Spanish.

I count 37 singles featuring someone else and even more as someone else featuring Pitbull. He is the absolute king of capitalising on the good work of others.

 

[BALKAN]

Living proof that how you market yourself is more important than any skills you may or may not have

 

[UFO Tatsu]

Does Timbaland fall in the same category as well?

 

[IKnowtheDog]

I rate Michael Bolton better than Pitbull and to his credit has no problem in taking the mickey out of himself!

My favourite is when Something Awful/reddit rigged a voting contest in order to send him to perform at a Walmart in a tiny Alaskan town... and he followed through!

Unlike Taylor Swift who, after 4chan rigged a poll to send her to perform at a school for the deaf, had the contest cancelled and instead decided to provide them with a donation.

I love the fact that he introduces himself ('Mr Worldwide' - I can't not say it in a Cartman voice) in every song and he's still popular.

 

[UFO Tatsu]

Listening to him right now

Well I had never heard of Gloria Estefan until I heard Pitbull's remix of "Wepa" on my mate's playlist so at least through him I discovered a great artist.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Rhyming Kodak with Kodak.

What are you, like 12?
