    Interviews: Pitbull : El Mariel (Part 1)
    Monday. 9.4.06 7:45 pm
    Posted on Friday, September 01 @ 18:15:16 EDT by hnic

    Interviews
    Touching bases with my friend Armando Perez has not been easy for the past couple of years. The artist known to the world as Pitbull has been promoting himself and his brand of Rap music non-stop since he signed to TVT Records back in 2003. I managed to sit down with him for a few minutes at a low-key spot in Little Havana called “La Bodeguita”, off of SW 29th Avenue and 8th Street (Calle Ocho). I arrived a little late, so we had very little time to do what we did. My camera man was stuck, so we had to improvise, but thanks to my good friend J. Fieldz, we were able to pull it off. Pit was all love as usual, plus he is a real humble dude, so with him it’s all gravy. Check out what Mr. 305 had to say to his people. Let’s get into it.

    Chico, you are a man who needs no introduction. You’ve been in the game for a minute now, sold over 500,000 plus units of your debut album, been touring, got women screaming your name all over the world, so what is good with you, dogg?
    Aqui imagínate. Representando… doin’ it Cuban-style en la Pequeña Habana.

    You CAME from the streets, man… that’s one of the reasons why I admire and respect you so much. A lot of these guys get on and forget where they came from, but you always stay in the hood. You give back to your community and you NEVER forget where you started out. You get much love for that, right?
    Of course, of course… from everybody. And I got to say one time for Fillup Banks, because straight up www.305HipHop.com has been there for me since day one and I’ll always be here for y’all.


    Thank you, my nig… you know we’re family fo’ life. So what’s up? How’s everything going for you? After the success of M.I.A.M.I., I know you’ve been REAL busy… tell us about that.
    Man, everything’s going great. M.I.A.M.I. is certified GOLD, sales are up to about 600,000 plus. That’s a beautiful thing. It’s all independently done, so you know… I’ve got the new album coming, “El Mariel”. We lining’ it up, vamos a ver si con la ayuda de Dios we can take it up there.

    I’m confident that you will, cuz. What’s the first single?
    Bueno “Bojangles”, you already know. The video already premiered on BET’s Access Granted. We also did a remix for that featuring Ying Yang Twinz, Lil’ Jon, you know family.

    No doubt. What else can your fans expect on the new album?
    I’ve also got a record with Don Omar called “Fuego”; it’s produced by Mr. Collipark. I’ve got another record with Jim Jonsin that’s so left field… matter of fact; I’m going to call it “Left Field”.

    Some next shit, huh?
    Oh yeah… this is different Pitbull, because you know, it’s cool… these cats are out here… and y’all could stay street, y’all could be gangsta’s, thugged-out, but not me dogg… I’m trying to do like Wyclef. I’m trying to get that…

    That INTERNATIONAL paper!
    Yup… that record that gets played all around the world so many times, because you know I’m trying to get that real money. That’s what I’m doing on this album, now…

    What else? What else you got in store for your fans?
    Well you know I still got my street records like, “Que Tu Sabes De Eso?”, where I flipped the whole concept, I got Fat Joe on that one and a cat out of Los Angeles named Sinful, rippin’ in Spanish.

    What’s up with the Reggaeton? You’ve been featured on some big singles, right?
    Yeah reggaeton is great. I respect the whole movement. I’ve been a part of the whole movement. I think it’s going to go elsewhere so I’m coming with the Afro-Cuban flavor with “Ya Se Acabo”… giving people a taste of our background.

    Chico, te la comistes con eso. Respect for that one, man.
    We definitely trying to do something different with this one. The album is definitely a roller-coaster. You know it’s going to up and we’re going to bring it down. Boom, boom.. you know with this record, there’s a bunch of things we’re doing on it.

    So basically on production, we’ve got Lil’ Jon, Diaz Brothers, Jim Jonsin…
    Oh yeah, Jon, Diaz Brothers, Jim Jonsin, Mr. Collipark, ummm… a cat from out here, he did one of my early singles, Shakespeare.

    Shakespeare, el Cubanito? That’s my homie.
    Yeah, Cubo put me down with him, he’s on the album. Really it’s all about “the Movement”, dogg. Everything I do, I try to push forward and open doors.

    So, Pit… what are you planning as far as support for “EL Mariel”?
    Well I’m all over the place as we speak right now. I do shows all over the world on any given day. I try to stay out there for the fans and give them what they want.

    No doubt… It’s very difficult to catch up with you nowadays. I know you’re busy.
    But that’s a blessing right there. That’s a beautiful thing. And really for “El Mariel”, I’ve got marketing plans tied into all of my markets. My markets are THE BIGGEST cities and states in North America. Florida, Texas, California, New York, Chicago, you know? I’ve got my own lane. I let cats do what they do, but really… I’ve got my own lane at the end of the day. With everything that’s happened, I mean… English or Spanish, you name it, we got it!

    Fo’ sho…
    And with Pitbull… it’s bigger than Pitbull, you feel me… because now we’ve opened the doors for cats to come through and get it. That’s really what it’s about, the more cats that we can help on the way up… first you’ve got to get established… with this new album, I’ll be established con la ayuda de Dios. Once that happens, then it’s time to be like, “wasup?”, “alright let’s go”, “let’s ride”, and it’s over.

    You’re talking about the locals?
    Yeah local niggas and you know, I always try to do what I can for cats as we speak. But right now with the situation that I’ve got with my label, I’m only going to run niggas into a dead end. So then it’s like, we’ll do a record, the shit get hot, and then you’ve got a law-suit. Then it’s like, “damn, Pit... we fucked up”. I’d rather not even do that, let me get my shit right, then I’ll come back and do what we got to do for everybody in the crib. Which I try to help out whenever…

    You’ve show a lot of love to Crazy Hood’s Garcia…
    Garcia, ever since he was Gambit, I’ve been listening to him and the whole Crazy Hood Productions and what they’ve been doing. There’s a lot of cats out here that I want to help out, like the Picallo’s, the P.M.’s, Rick Ross, and we’ve BEEN talking about Rick Ross and I know y’all been working with Ross and helping him out since day one…

    Always, since day one… that’s my brother right there. Congratulations to him and all of the success he’s been having with the release of “Port Of Miami”.
    You see it that little by little, we’re about to take it to another level.

    Yeah, and I gotta thank you for that on behalf of the whole 305 because you really stepped in the game throwing it up in everybody’s face and you haven’t looked back. I respect that, chico.
    Definitely… 305 til’ I die always! Really, I got to give it to Luke for that because he really instilled it in me. That’s why if I ever hear anybody claim they’re the king of this shit, dogg… I’m a have to tell them real quick, dogg… slow down before you wreck out, cuz. Luke is the King, Trick is The Mayor, Dirtbag is the Don of Dade, you got Rick Ross, he’s Carol City Boss, Triple C’s, he do what he do, you got…

    THC… The Secret Service.
    So I gotta watch what the fuck I say around y’all now…

    It’s serious, though… I feel you’re responsible for opening a lot of doors for not only Miami Hip-Hop, but the whole Latino Movement as well.
    There a lot of things that will be cleared up this year. There are a lot of people that have helped out my career just like I’ve helped them out. A lot of things going on now. We’re about to drop a Spanish album titled “Armando”.

    I heard it was going to be a double disc situation.
    It was supposed to be a double disc situation, but what happened was that all of these Latin Awards were trying me I felt like. You know? Because damn, I done sold more records than ALL of them reggaeton artists put together. So what’s up? How come we’re not getting awards? How come we’re not even invited to these shits?

    What’s the problem?
    The thing is that they want the album to be 51% Spanish. So I said alright, we’re going to give you 150% on this album!

    So it can still be bi-lingual?
    It can still be bi-lingual, esto y lo otro, pero al final del dia no me venga con eso. Truth is, we’ve opened a GANG of doors right now. I’m watching everybody get it and what not, so…

    I saw you at the Billboard Awards, though.
    Yeah because we crashed that shit! But it’s fucked up when I walk down the red carpet, it becomes more of a Pitbull thing… and you didn’t even invite us? And then I let it be known, I ain’t even here because of me, it’s all about showing love right now. It’s Daddy Yankee’s night… it’s The Orichas’ night, you know?

    I feel you, on the humble.
    Yeah, but it’s like you said, though… if it wasn’t for myself, Fat Joe, NORE, and a few others getting involved really in that whole movement, it wouldn’t be where it’s at right now. And whether they like it or not, it’s a fact. So, we’re just going to clear the air. As far as Pitbull’s Spanish album… no reggaeton on my album… just straight Hip-Hop. I’m bringing the Afro-Cuban samples. I want them to see another side of the whole Latin world. Yeah, I may be Latin… but this is not Latin Rap. I rap, I just happen to be Cuban, you know? To me it’s more like a revolution.

    Chico, I appreciate you taking time out to sit down with us and show love. I know you’re busy, so I appreciate your sacrifice. You’ve always kept it humble, respectful, and real with us and on behalf of Fillup Banks and the whole www.305HipHop.com staff, bet that up.
    It’s all love. Dale, I appreciate 305HipHop.com since they first showed love to me before I even got hot and we really jump-started each other. DJ MEGA MIX, too… DJ AS-One… shout out to those DJ’s that were always there for me since day one. Really everything right now is all about the crib. It’s all about the bottom, Dade County, Miami…

    El Mariel…
    El Mariel ties into that…. You know what I’m saying? And little by little, they’ll see what we have to offer. There are people that I look at, like I study T.I. and his hustle is… like they say in the south, “a slow grind, but a fo’ sho grind”. You feel me? I ain’t trying to be a superstar and sell 10 million records right now, you know? I’m trying to gradually get there so that the foundation is so deep and so loyal, that everytime we drop, it’s solid.

    So what’s the official release date for everybody out there to go and cop “El Mariel” and support Pitbull?
    The official release date fo’ sho, fo’ sho, no pushing it back any further. And the reason it got pushed back is because there were a lot of deadlines that I couldn’t meet because of sample clearances and things of that nature. But all of that is done with and October 17th is the date… go cop that. There’s all type of shit coming with “El Mariel”, I’ve got a DVD, a bonus disc. I just don’t talk about it until we ready to drop because you know? Don’t talk about it, be about it. (laughs)

    (laughing) Fo’ sho… what else?
    The DVD that’s out on the streets right now is Mr. 305, I’ve got another DVD that we’re working on right now, we’re working on movies, man it so much.

    I can imagine. Any last words, chico?
    Last words? Without Miami, there is no Pitbull, and without the fans, there is no Pitbull… I appreciate the love always. Thank God always… “El Mariel” coming October 17th… check me out on myspace and Pitbullmusic.com. I also got to say thank you to y’all because y’all always show me love and til’ the day I die, you know whatever y’all need from me is love because you’ve always shown me love, so… you know? And that’s the only way that we’re going to make it to the top and STAY up there, you feel me? These New York niggas is scrambling right now because the south is hot… we always showed love to them when their music was on top, but they don’t want us to be in this position that we’re in right now. So that’s why we have to make sure that we stay tight and that’s what makes us not only powerful, but that’s what makes us dangerous, too.

    No doubt, my nig… strength in numbers. I feel you. Bueno, chico… we’re out of here… I gotta send a big shout out to Fillup Banks, the HNIC of 305HipHop.com, the whole staff, the writers, the photographers, the video crew, everybody that makes things happen for this magnificent vehicle that Banks created.
