I know but he was ahead of the crowd as far being techno influenced on a commercial front.

Does most of Latin hip hop sound similar to pitbulls earlier stuff? Anyone know of much Latin hip hop , I think it's pretty high tempo similar to pitbulls stuff tbh from what I heard.

Daddy Yankee with gasolina springs to mind , I know the Latin hip hop market is pretty big though too.

Pun, Fat Joe, terror squad, beatnuts, cypress hill, immortal technique, are all latin hip hop acts that sound nothing like Pitbull.

True but I'm on about latin artists who are born in actual Latin country's like cuba etc
and really have the culture in their music? I should of said that.

those you named are of Latin descent yes but born in America , I know terror squad, big pun and cypress hill are , I assume immortal technique and beatnuts are too? I don't listen to those two. Theres plenty of rappers I know of Latin descent, Joell Ortiz Is another one of the top of my head.

IT was born in Peru, but raised in Harlem and is often back and forth to SA.

I don't know I am not into Latin Hip-hop in that sense, just rappers who happen to be of Latin descent which is different.

I imagine the Latin market for hip-hop would be huge considering the % of people of Latin descent in America (and globally)

I can't imagine Latin rappers have not been influenced by their descent long before pitbull and others, every other culture who did hip-hop was heavily influenced from their upbringing/culture/descent.

That's what I mean even in pitbulls earlier stuff you could tell his culture was differnt through his music hence him being born and raised in Cuba, it was a differnt sound really high tempo , that's why I was asking if anyone knew if this was the norm for Latin hip hop.

The same way pun was from the Bronx but had that American hip hop culture to his music aswell as the Latin but you could obviously tell he was from new york by listinging to his music same goes with Ortiz etc.

I completely disagree. But hey, that's your opinion. I'm out of here

You can hardly credit him as a hip-hop artist? Like a lot of people like one or two of his pop songs you hear on the radio (normally people who aren't big music fans anyways), but who actually goes out to listen to all of the songs on his albums and judges his lyrics and beats, like how people on this forum do with the likes of Eminem, Nas, Kendrick Lamar etc. ?

Ok, but Drake is what 2% more Hip-Hop than Pitbull?

Like it or not drake is hip hop. I don't like that he is what hip hop has come to either but thats the way it is.

I just don't see why people draw the line at Pitbull, others here have mentioned he raps.

Isn't rapping the reason why most people call Drake Hip-Hop?

"Rapper, singer-songwriter, record producer, television host" - That could be a description of Drake?

Television host?

I agree with Conor. Fair enough pitbulls music the last few years has been mainly club stuff but his roots are hip hop and Latino at that, he still raps on his songs it's more so over techno like beats these days.

I orignally taught he was born in Cuba but according to wiki, it was Miami but both his parents are Cuban and the Latino culture is very strong down there anyway so you can easily see how it influences his sound. He's always had that high tempo to his music.

But seriously , you can't call drake hip hop and pitbull not, drake does more singing than rapping in fairness but imo every rapper should be able to spit at least a few bars if put on the spot and not make a show out of himself reading from his blackberry.

I didn't look at the thread for a while and I come to see Pitbull is being mentioned. Hahahaha really Pitbull why have we sank to this?
