PITBULL (with Reanna Cruz)

Reanna Cruz joins Pop Pantheon to break down the rise of Mr. Worldwide himself, Pitbull. Reanna and Louie explore Pitbull's genesis in the cultural hub of Miami and his breakthrough with 2004's dancehall-cum-reggaeton banger “Culo.” They then tackle his early work in both Spanish and English and his pivot towards big dance anthems and cross-cultural superstardom, resulting in albums like 2009’s Pitbull Starring in Rebelution and 2011’s Planet Pit, his massive run of hit guest verses and clever branding, catchphrases, and signature swaggering, fun-loving on-record presence, all of which made him one of the key voices of the EDM era. Finally, they discuss his later era work and rank Pitbull in the official Pop Pantheon.
