Pitbull (feat. Lil' Jon) - "Toma"

[laguy03]

This is at #58 at Rhythmic with a bullet of +221. I really like this song and I wanted it to be the 2nd single.

This is actually the 4th single off of M.I.A.M.I. He has had Culo, Back Up, and Dammit Man in less than a year.

It sux cuz I think Pitbull will suffer Lil Jon syndrome  (actually already) and get his biggest hit off a beat produced by him (also a club banger), and no one will recognize his previous attempts. Dammit Man was amazing, and should have gone higher on Rhythmic and even Urban.

He doesn't deserve this because I find him totally underrated, and I don't think he gets total street cred with the black rappers because he is latino, and major stations in mainly african-american markets such as New Orleans, Atlanta and Detroit don't pick up on him.

That's not it at all. He's just wack. If he was making good stuff he'd get either some kind of respect or play. He gets neither because he is horrible.

Actually, Pitbull isnt that bad. Other then his album (which is kind of weak, really) he is a good rapper. When he guests on other songs, he stands out or holds his own.

Have you even seen his chart runs? He can't be wack if he gets major play in primarily Latino markets such as Miami and El Paso, but then some to absolutely no play in primarily African-American markets (I'm not latino btw). If he is so horrible, he would get absolutely no play in any market in America. It all comes down to the bias.

With Toma, its a hot club banger with Lil Jon on the beat. Of course all markets will pick it up, but what I'm trying to say is he won't be recognized for his previous attempts, him being hot or not (I still think he's underrated though, listen to the M.I.A.M.I. album, its pretty hot).

Biggest jumper of the week at Rhythmic moving 40-27.

I like this track. I heard a remix of this one before I heard the original version.

This track has gotten some airplay in my SF market. The earlier one, "Culo" is still getting a lot of airplay. It has already been a year since they started playing it! They began playing the remix with Sean Paul first. Then they got this really short 2 minute one. Then back to the Sean Paul one.

Anyways, the album M.I.A.M.I. is pretty good. Some of the tracks are quite similar, but "Toma" is fine.

I think Pitbull brings along something different in his tracks. He has done some pretty good upbeat club tracks which have the potential to do well in clubs. I don't know if he'll be able to score as big as he did with "Culo" but then again, anything is possible.

There's a significant Latino population in the SF Bay Area, and some Latin-sounding/influenced tracks have done pretty well.

Damn this song went from biggest jumper to biggest dumper. Its about to lose its bullet at +58. Guess I was wrong about this to blow up. He should have released this in the summer. This sux for Pitbull man. Poor doggy.

This song is ok but by this point it's like - bleh.

"Culo" was pretty hot over the summer, even though the beat was being heard on 3 other songs at the same time.

Back Up and Dammit Man aren't bad but they never got any airplay around here.
