This past year I've notcied that the new go-to dudes for hooks is the man with the golden Vocoder, T-Pain, and or our boy from the Trini, Akon. I wanna how Soulstrut rates these two dudes: vs. but we need to respect the architect of sorta bad singin' but still can pull it offimg src="http://www.nate-dogg.org/wall_photos/photos_nate/Nate56.jpg"b/w APPRECIATE PITBULL! Everytime I see those green TVT sleeves in the used bin I always snatch 'em up and hope it's a Pitbull track I don't have. Little dudes maybe be on some "he makes the same song everytime" and frankly, they're right but my man does it so well. Shit, I've been running the Pitbull Rhythm for a few months when I play a club set:TOMACULOSHE'S FREAKYHIT THE FLOOR W/ TWISTATHE JOINT WITH THE GEORGE KRANZ BEATI think dude really is underappreciated as a master of the "club banger". And also as a Latino dude I have nobody to look to as a brown dude making moves in hip-hop (sorry I've barely heard any chingo bling) so I gotta ride for my man and maybe Aloe Blacc.

    Did I say it was a bad thing?

    The fact that he's old enough to be your grandfather adds to his mystique.

    Pitbull Gets Political On Sophomore Album El Mariel
    Tuesday - August 29, 2006

    Miami bred Pitbull, who is the #1 Latin artist on Myspace, is gearing up to release his sophomore album, El Mariel on TVT Records. This time around, the agenda is more than just about getting "culo."

    Pitbull is more preoccupied with preserving the image of his isla bonita, Cuba, and unmasking President George W. Bush's misguided war.

    and

    "I got peoples that suffered under him (Fidel Castro) and who risked their lives to get away from him and what he stands for, and they come here and have to see people like Mos Def wearing "Che Guevara" t-shirts on TV or have to listen to groups like Dead Prez supporting Castro and communism. Che Guevara was a murderer. Fidel Castro IS a murderer. These are the kind of people black militants idolize? All I know is they better not come to Miami talkin' that mess."

    tough call.

    BRIAN:

    NEVER A BAD SINGLE! and yet dude still doesn't get the accolades he should. The blogosphere better jump on dude.
