Pitbull Gets Mushy on His New Album

Published by mherrera at 11:51 am under Sound Check

Nov 07 2007

Let’s be real: Pitbull isn’t the smoothest MC in the world (“Let me see you get freaky, baby! Let me see you get nasty, mama!” aren’t exactly hallmarks of subtlety). But it looks like the Cuban MC is learning to slow his roll with the ladies. His new album, Boatlift, is dropping November 27 (that Miami Vice-looking photo up above is the official cover), and his first single is the slow-burner ballad “Secret Admirer,” which features R&B crooner Lloyd singing a hook (lifted almost directly from the Ghost Town DJ’s 1996 hit “My Boo”—remember that music video where the girls were washing cars and chillin at a beach party? That was my jam!). More importantly, it features a suspiciously mellow Pitbull tapping into his inner LL Cool J, with rhymes that are straight whispery and—dare I say it?—romantic. The spring break shout-alongs that defined all of Pitbull’s past singles are nowhere to be found on this record. And guess what? We kind of like that. It makes us wonder what else Pitbull’s been hiding, and whether it will show up on the rest of the new album. Take a listen for yourself, and let us know what you think:

  17. Katherineon 07 Nov 2007 at 5:52 pm

    One of the things that attracted me to Pitbull, is his skill in rhyming and even though when he raps in Bojangles and in Toma, it’s the opposite of romantic, but the way he expresses it, it’s sexy and turns you on..i.e. “preparate mujer que mi lengua esta fuerte..” and whether you don’t like machos, this macho is an exception, he’s the macho you’ll let slide and want to be around with, it’s all about that latin sabor, and cubanito’s style! I can say that I love Pitbull because of his persona and of his talent in rhyming and writing verses…i.e. Raindrops, that has such a powerful verse, “What’s Love with no Hate, What’s Courage with no Fear? ….Keep your head up, it’s gonna be alright.” Wow, I can’t get enough of his words.Regardless what Pitbull does, IT’S GONNA BE GREAT AND HE’S SKILLED IN ANY GENRE, HIP HOP, RAP, R&B, HE COULD PULL ANYTHING OFF, AND IF YOU SAY , NA HE CAN’T, HE DO IT TO PROVE YOUR ASS WRONG, NO SE JUEGA CON ESE CUBANO!

  35. Vanessa 305on 07 Nov 2007 at 8:20 pm

    The boy has become a man. The phase of men starts with little boys playing little games being the bad boy. In truth I love a delicious bad boy. Pitbull was this bad boy we love but the boy has become a man. Once he becomes a man he ain’t lookin for just any girl but THE One Woman in his life, to unwrap and hold. That is the Vibe I am getting with Pitbulls new songs. To tell the truth I take a grown man who knows how to handle a woman then a little boy with his games.

    Much Love, I wish I was your one Pitbull but unfortunately reality sucks and I am not your one but I do hope you find that one.
    Vanessa

  40. bubbleson 07 Nov 2007 at 11:49 pm

    I remember hearing CULO on the radio and asking myself who was that rapper and latter found out it was Pitbull and ever sense I have loved and enjoyed each and every song of his. Pitbull is representing all the LATINOS in hip hop. Pitbull is my #1 papasito.

  41. Sara Gomezon 08 Nov 2007 at 2:05 am

    OMG! Pitbull’s new song is so good, i heard it when he first put it up on his myspace and i feel in love with him even more and more and more. I already love pitbull. Everytime he comes to Dallas, I go to his show. So far, my favorite show has been the one he did for mardi gras in dallas in Feb. Man, he gave me beads which i have hangin on my rear view mirror, and i got his autograph and 2 kisses! I almost melted. I have 3 posters in my room, 3 autographed pictures, and pictures that i took with him on my cell phone..only that cell phone broke..sorry. But i love love pitbull, I’ve even done a few cool pictures of him on my photoshop and sent them to him. Anyway. I love pitbull, i love all his songs, and do know that he is the most amazing man in the whole wide world and i wish i could just spend time with him and let him know how much i truly love him.
    love
    Sara

  44. L@uR@on 08 Nov 2007 at 2:08 pm

    What can i say??? Pitbull’s the greatets rapper of all time and sometimes a rapper needs to bring out his romantic side and that makes him even more sexier thatn he already is. Imma make sure we play that song when Pitbull and i get married lol. I love you Pit!!

  45. Dianaon 08 Nov 2007 at 4:01 pm

    I really love what he does…if he just stays with one type of genre..he will dissapear into the back ground…we want him to evolve with the times…and honestly he sounds great…well he sounds and looks great….Love Ya

  48. Beronica Regaladoon 09 Nov 2007 at 4:26 pm

    Since 2004 when I first heard the energy behind the arist, Pitbull. I became fasinated by the performer that calls himself, Pitbull. I wanted to know all I could, so I did my research, rented Mr.305, got on Myspace in hopes of someday being the one fan, he got to meet in person and have a conversation with outside of the club. His three words of wisdom passion, patience, and perserverence equal succes, holding true to anyone wanting to pursue their dreams. I look up to him and admire that he has been able to accomplish all he has set out to do through his own drive. Through the years, I’ve read every article that featured him, trying to know the man behind the artist Pitbull, Armando Perez. Pitbull is versatile, driven, political and humble. I like the fact he emphasises the importance of investments in property, savings, and the future. La Esquina, was an eye opener, he could’nt of done a better job. Id just like the oppurtunity to sit down with Armando, have a conversation and later party with the performer, Pitbull. Latina magaizine will be making that reality happen, and hopefully to a very deserving mujer.

  49. xstinaon 09 Nov 2007 at 4:37 pm

    I am not crazy about the new song, maybe because I am not crazy about baby making r&b songs.

    When Pitty raps, especially in Spanish, I have to take a cold shower. Really. Hot.

  50. Michelle Suarezon 10 Nov 2007 at 1:05 pm

    What can I say as everyone who has posted a comment has done, I love “Mi Sexy Papi” PitBull is the a sexy, humble, and determined. I got a chance to have dinner with him on Monday (11/05/07) out in San Bernardino,CA. I still can’t get through my head that I had the pleasure to sit and enjoy dinner with the man that means so much to me…… I can say that Pitbull is a man that is down to earth as you have no idea. Check out the pic’s on 99.1 KGGI (I’m the one in the black and gold dress).
    I hope that I get selected to win a date with Pitbull, I wanted to give him an invite to my company XMAS party and did not give it to him the night I meet him. I would love to give it to him and have him take me to my party…. Its a dream but as I seen on Monday, they do come true. As a Cinderella story I would love to enter the room, with him next to me…..!!!! just for one evening senor Armando Perez… you and me in CALI!!!!

    I LOVE YOU PITBULL!!!!

    Michelle

  51. ALEJANDRAon 12 Nov 2007 at 1:12 pm
