Rap Analysis #13 – How To Make a Pitbull Song

Today I decided to take a look at someone who’s really popular, Pitbull. Rather than going over his flow, like we did with Big Sean or Jean GRae, I wanted to break down his basic song structure. Let’s take a look at how to make a Pitbull song:

1. Yell “Dale!”
2. List 3 cities, including Miami at least once
3. Mumble something in spanish

There you go! Good thing he’s not gettin paid ridiculously more than Jean Grae, Mos Def, Talib, (insert other rapper featured on this website here)!! Right?!??!
