Mr. 305 in a new outfit

Two years after "The Boatlift" brings us Armando Christian Pérez aka Pitbull's new, now 5th album (if the Independent Album "Welcome to the 305" counting) on ​​the market. The protege of Lil Jon shows up here in a whole new sound robe because Crunk, hard Florida Rap, Latino Rap and R'n'B tinged productions seem to have been from yesterday, because what Pitbull delivers us is here for the most part a mixture of Alternative / Electro / Dance / Pop and a bit of rap. Whether this is good or bad, it is debatable because the tastes obviously differ. Splash out the Miami rapper has still not pulled back and some well-known people into the studio. At the controls for "Rebelution" were among others Swizz Beatz, Lil Jon, Dr. Luke, DJ Montay, Jim Jonsin and DJ Noodles. Support on the mic receives Pitbull by acts like Akon, Avery Storm, Ke $ ha, Lil Jon, BOB and Slim of 112. Now we let ourselves be surprised by what is here waiting for us ...;)

The entry bescheert us the Swizz Beatz production "Triumph", which Avery Storm featured. A solid drumbeat sets well with wind instruments in the background Pitbull with his rape in connection and Avery Storm does a great job as far as the chorus. Next scheppert "Shut it down" out of the speakers with a full dance beat and many electrical Melodielementen know skillfully use the Pit and Akon, VA Akon with his wonderful singing forms the finishing touch of this track. It continues with the 2nd single from the album and one of the summer hits such, the question is naturally "I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)". In this song full dance floors are guaranteed and there was even reason alone the previous album "The Boatlift" in Europe with this track additionally re-releast in August, although I personally think more for a typical move of the record company. "Girls" hammering also übelst around the ears, however, the song sounds the whole package here totally boring and unimaginative, especially the chorus would still monotonous and simple can not be. "Full of shit", however, has something more groove and sounds a lot fresher than the previous piece, but the spark will also here not really skip. The Interlude "Dope Ball" is rather a short song represents, would rather than what you'd expect really namely any Gelabber and look at that is actually pretty rap what you get to hear here on the 1:40. It continues with "Can not stop me now", which on the contrary to the bisherig were yet acting dignified, but gets awarded by the electric guitar a rock cut. The structure of the songs especially with the rhythm of the beat reminds so in about a bit to "Seven Nation Army" by The White Stripes. Party Moderately it comes around on with the 3rd single "Hotel Room Service", which includes a sample of Nightcrawlers '"Push the feelin'. The bass beat containing crashes just as playful and electric tunes provide a great addition to this, more than just inviting you to dance and celebrations and the chorus can hehe mitgröllen still well in not-so-sober state. Also produced by DJ Montay "Juice Box" offers quite Party ambitions, yet somehow lacking here as well as the right power and freshness to the part to find more than just average. Also in this scheme can be the next piece "Call of the Wild" stuck. The fast-paced wild beat with the oblique Synthes does not fit really together, the occasional beat changes in a slower pace and with snaps on the other hand are a varied and at the same time cool idea, unfortunately, has too little used here in this song otherwise the song would be a lot better. Now comes the first single from the album called "Krazy" by and with Lil Jon, which is just as well known and Federico Franchi's Song "Cream" is sampling ... just in the truest sense of the word "crazy" song which, although well located but to party is in total but a little too crazy. As there would be miracles on "Rebelution" follows now with "Give em What They ask for" a song, which one can only be described as a rap track. Dull rumbling lows in pace in Slovenian with a bit Klaviergeklimpere carry us through the individual verses while the chorus plays the lead violin on an electrical Schliern. Slowly but surely, the album draws to a close, but two numbers we have in front of us and this it has just condemned in themselves and are probably the two Hightlights of the album. First we have to hear the honor "Across the World" with Bob. A massive beat with supple at the same time something funny melody, which could come from a video game here form the foundation, with Pitbull again rausholt all forces and horny Parts bangs the table and Bob's outstanding terrific sung chorus I need not at first start talking about when you heard the men before you know of what I speak. At the end of 112 to Slim are with Pitbull honor the track to perform "Daddy's Little Girl". The instrumental is midtempo heavy again and is very chill set by the glamorous piano accompaniment in scene. Slim white with his magnificent voice to put ourselves in the chorus to dream and gives them all an appropriate and completing more than dignified atmosphere.

Here we are now at the end of "Rebelution" and as I have mentioned at the beginning of my review will be now surely stand here with two minds. One do not like Pitbull's new style, the other and some people can use a part of the longplayer do something and I belong to the latter even probably. From the overall impression the album lacks definitely the variety, but also the one or other productions sound just quickly put clapped and not really worked out. But the album also has quite its good points such. B. "Hotel Room Servie" or the last three tracks. Remains to be seen how the album with the people out there arrives, although one indeed must say that nowadays have a long time nothing more to do sales figures by the various record companies policies with quality.
