Pitbull is a rapper that I have always groaned about when I see he is on a song or in a music video. He comes across as annoying, groping the ladies, and rapping lines that seem lifted from other rap songs. However, his album "Planet Pit" actually had some surprises in store for me amongst all of the other crap I was right to pre-judge. Here are my song by song thoughts on this dance, rap album.
"Mr. Worldwide (Intro)": He is welcoming us to Planet Pit and then sings that he is going to show us why he is called Mr. Worldwide, but then he also keeps asking us why we think he is called that. I don't know or care, dude, tell me or don't. Then he raps about how he knows the music business and other people in the music business don't know the music business. Guess, that clears it up?
"Give Me Everything": Pitbull's gravely rap dance track here is actually working for me. I've seen his swagger in videos and his annoying molesting of video vixens has always made him look silly, but listening to THIS song, actually not that bad. He actually gives some excuses for hitting on women and wanting to into someone's pants because tomorrow might not come. Sound logic, request this at the club, and try it out. Catchy tune.
"Rain Over Me": On this song Pitbull just sounds like the lazy pervert one assumes he is and the latin flavored pop chorus delivery is dull. Rain Over me, makes me think of people peeing on each other, but maybe that makes me the pervert and not Pitbull. A lot of blah, blah secondary blabber drowns out Pitbull's rapping, drowning himself out, vocal pee-peeing on himself.
"Hey Baby (Drop It To The Floor)": Rips off the "ooo baby baby" song and then goes the generic route of telling girls to drop things to the floor. T-Pain autotunes the crap out of this song and Pitbull wears it.
"Pause": A silly dancing game, get drunk, grab a senorita and all is good! "I'm such a dirty dog, my teeth will unsnap your bra," is a lyric I enjoyed.
"Come N Go": A braggy tune about how he pleases women, but the dance music actually pales to some of the creative lyrical deliveries. A "dance" tune that lacks the right ingredients for a full-on get up and boogie. Lackadaisy, buh-boring.
"Shake Senora": This is a "The Little Mermaid" meets "Beetlejuice" sing along, with Pitbull being the fool all over it. Pretty stupid song.
"International Love": I hate songs that consist of lyrics giving shout outs to all the different cities the singer has been to. Guess I should have expected such a copout album filler of a track from "Mr. Worldwide."
"Castle Made Of Sand": His emotional attempt at sharing the rough upbringing he came from with a lady belting out the inspirational chorus. Pitbull's voice cracks too quietly though, often he is swallowed by the music and his words are too light. Crank the volume, maybe it is worth getting into.
"Took My Love": Not a woman on earth can take his love, and *bleep* you for trying to take it, oh no, she did take it I guess. Dance floor music with "da da dee" noise voices instead of real lyrics for the full chorus. Autotune rears its annoying head once again and it is weak.
"Where Do We Go": Ego running rampant and preaching, but then the chorus is a confused dance thump of "Where Do We Go?" Where the sun doesn't shine might be the reply of more than a few non-fans, because it's kind of a mess of a song in my opinion and easy to dislike.
"Something For the Djs": They rip off "If You're Happy And You Know It." If you're sexy and you know it clap your hands. And how much wood could a woodchuck chuck? Some more fun dance game music in places, but just juvenile and annoying lack of real creativity in others.
