Pitbull:These New York ****** 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.
Pitbull: Man what its like being on that stage is the blessing at the end of the day. Coming where we’re coming from you can’t even believe that you’re involved in a tour of this magnitude.
Pitbull: Last words? Without Miami, there is no Pitbull, and without the fans, there is no Pitbull… I appreciate the love always.
Pitbull: 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.
Pitbull: Oh yeah… this is a 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!
Pitbull: Anybody that supports Pitbull, I really appreciate it.. If not for the fans I wouldn't be ****. Anybody else trying to get in this game: patience, passion plus perseverance equals success, hurry up and wait.
Pitbull: I'm not a Latin rapper, I'm a rapper that happens to be Latin, you feel me. With that said, 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.
Pitbull: (on who he would like to collaborate on his albums with) Right now, I don't really project things like that, I sorta just work with people who wanna rock with me. Jay Z... I wish I coulda worked with Celia Cruz but she passed, other than that I'm straight.
