Culo!

There are a lot of music trends that seem so bizarre and one-dimensional: screamo, crunk, techno. I'd say reggaeton, a new form of dancehall/reggae/Latin/hip hop music falls into that category. It's mostly obnoxious and repetitive and the artists are barely discernible from one another.

But then there's Pitbull, a Cuban American rapper who has churned out some kind of ridiculously catchy reggaeton bombs. I gotta admit, I dig it.

I've always had a thing for Latin music and its undeniable danceability. Pitbull injects that spice into his bassy and funky songs and before you know it, you're booty is droppin' and you can't do anything about it.

My cousin Jon, a dumpy 27 year old Jewish guy, moved from his beloved Brooklyn to Spanish Harlem recently and he tells me that all he hears 24 hours a day is reggaeton. I asked him if he at least heard some Pitbull. He said something like, no it's not like that, no animals, just this horrible dance music. Hah hah hah.

Here's the video for "Krazy", and it is. It's both hilarious (because it features Lil John) but super addictive.

Plus, there's the ass factor. I love big booty bitches (I wish I had a badonkadonk), and I'll be damned if I don't love a dumb ass song with a heavy beat that refers to a girl's jiggy ass as "Bojangles."

And the Ying Yang twins? The most absurd musicians out there right now. I can't even deal with it.

So in summation, Pitbull's music is silly, fun and it sounds pretty damn good out of a cranked up speaker and a quaking sub woofer. Bring him to your next party. Culo!
