Rebelution is the fourth studio album from Miami-based rapper Pitbull.
You can be forgiven if you've never heard of him before, but you
won't be if you haven't heard this album. At long last, finally
there is a hip hop rap album which doesn't go on a tangent of any
gang wars, competition about rap or some other silly feud amongst
rappers. Pitbull makes it all about the music in the aptly titled
Rebelution.
Produced primarily by Jim Jonsin (and eleven other producers), the
album is an audio treat for fans of hip hop, rap and R&B. With
musical guests as varied as Akon, Avery Storm, Nayer, Lil Jon, The
New Royales, Bass III Euro & Slim of 112, Pitbull has fun with
this record. 
'Triumph' (featuring Avery Storm) starts the album off but it is
probably the least representative of the album itself. It sounds
like Pitbull is screaming more and rapping less. But rest assured
everything else from here gets better.
The next track, 'Shut it down', is the latest single off of the
album and features R&B sensation Akon. There's considerable
less screaming here and more rapping, supported by a vibrant bass
line that is sure to get one up and about.
'I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)' is the highest peaking song from
the album, reaching as far as number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The song is actually a remix of '75, Brazil Street' by Nicola Fasano
Vs Pat Rich and instead of relying heavily on the original song,
this one stands on its own beat and bass.
'Girls' sounds heavily of Motley Crue and Jay-Z influence and ironically,
both artists have produced tracks with the same name. Thankfully,
it's only at some potions and certain places that the influence
comes about. 'Girls' does have a spicy touch of its own.
'Full of Sh*t' and 'Give Them What They Ask For' are a delight in
rap. Fans of Eminem and 50 Cent migh t
truly enjoy these two numbers as an interesting and refreshing alternative.
The beauty of these tracks is that Pitbull changes the beat around
and doesn't stay constant, which ultimately makes them stand out
even if they're all over the place in a good way. It's unpredictable
rhythm that gets the songs going.
'Can't Stop Me Now' features The New Royales and the track is a
change of pace for the album and even for Pittbull. Though the Pittbull
theme is there, it goes through a varying transformation thanks
to the contribution by The New Royales.
The most famous track from this album is 'Hotel Room Service'. It's
unlikely that you haven't heard it, either playing on the radio
or on the tube or in somebody's car. It's definitely one of those
party songs, along the lines of 'Boom Boom Boom' and it demands
to be played at full volume.
'Juicebox' is yet another jumpy track. Not much rapping here, just
a good old fashioned jumping bassline.
'Across the world' and 'Daddy's Little Girl' close off the album
and this is where things slow down. Though they don't sound like
ballads, they are still quite fast paced tracks on their own.
Pitbull's Rebelution is a must-have album simply because these are
upbeat jumpy songs that are great for parties or even work outs.
