“‘Rebelution’ stands for a fighter. I feel like I’ve been fighting in music and creating new ways and new opportunities to make things work even when people thought it wouldn’t,” says Pitbull. “It also stands for situations within my family and all the political issues back in Cuba.”

I have to be in the clubs and on the radio in order to survive in the game.”

Born Armando Perez, Pitbull first appeared in Lil Jon’s Kings of Crunk with the rest of the East Side Boyz.

Pitbull has also been able to reach his Latino audience with La Esquina, a show he hosts. According to the rapper, his stage name comes from his similarities with the breed. Pitbulls “bite to lock. The dog is too stupid to lose. And they’re outlawed in Dade County. They’re basically everything that I am. It’s been a constant fight.”

“I’m not a Latin rapper, I’m a rapper that happens to be Latin,” says Pitbull “I just want them to know where I’m from. Just like Jamaicans do, just like Puerto Ricans with Reggaeton. Just like black people with slavery, Jewish with the Holocaust, Cubans and Nicaraguans who had revolutions in their country, so I just want them to know my culture, my struggle, so they can learn from us as much as we learn from them.
