Pitbull - Calle Ocho (75 Brazil Street)
Artist: Pitbull
Producer: Nicola Fasano & Pat Rich
Album: Rebelution
Label: PoloGrounds/J/Mr. 305 Inc.
Though his former label home, TVT Records, filed for bankruptcy in February of 2008, Pitbull hasn’t missed a beat – currently signed to his own label, 305 Music, the Cuban-American rap star is busy looking for distribution for his fourth studio album, Rebelution, which is scheduled for release in February of ‘09. On the latest street single off the forthcoming LP, Pit adds a generous dash of hip hop to Nicole Fasano and Pat Rich’s Latin-tinged 75, Brazil Street in an attempt to give the House hit new life as a dancefloor-filling club record called Calle Ocho. The emcee exudes confidence on the hook, telling a lucky lady, “I know you want me/ You know I want you.” and spitting a few sing-song bars en Español before launching into his English verses. It all adds up to a danceable cut that should get plenty of hip-shaking mileage on the club circuit.
This song first appeared on the

Sounds okay. Most of the time it works, but hes gotta decide what language he wants to pursue for a given track. The beats are okay. Everythings okay compared to most of the garbage he normally releases.

Pitbull is starting to be a household name in the clubs. That Krazy joint is on everywhere I go! This one just doesn't have the same energy and THUMP to it. It almost sounds like a Ricky Martin song or something, especially in the chorus. The verses are a little better, but get a little repetitive pretty quickly. Would not get down to this one in the clubs, or bump it anywhere else.

Typical Pitbull, he does something great, then the next week he releases something new and it's not all that. So hopefully next time it will be good!

WTFrenchtoast is this??!?...hmmm (thinking)...well, i know I won't play it again unless I hear it on the radio or something- but it probably won't get there cause it kind of sucks. Dammit Man was and still is my favorite track by him. This is ok @ best.

I kinda like this! It doesn't have the same energy as his previous club bangers, and I don't understand what he is saying, but its pretty decent. In rotation

Good sample. I like that track by Chicago. I had been looking for that track for months and finally found it last week. This works for what it's meant for.

The hook sounded like the same melody as "Love Lockdown". LOL. This is actually okay. I agree XxXxDaTruthXxXx (wow, that's the first time I've ever said that), this is certainly okay compared to most of the garbage he normally releases. I don't agree with the "he gots to pick a language" statement tho. I like the mix, tho the spanish makes the song way better. Pitbull is so smart wtih this joint tho. He knows he needs a catchy club joint to give his album some steam, especially since he's not going to h ave all the label backing and stuff like usual. Good thinking PB.

I gotta give it up to Pitbull, he keeps finding ways to come up with club joints that each have a unique quality (allowing him to get consistent airplay) This track was right on point too but it wasnt as good as "Krazy" cuz that track was just that...CRAZY!

I dont imagine this being in rotation on any mainstream urban stations, but it may rotate on Top 40 stations, just may. And i am taking a stab at saying that. However though, it is a good song, and will get much play in clubs. It will probably do good at topping the Billboard Dance Charts too.

I think this hit is super hot and it's going to definitely top the charts! First off, many of you probably don't understand the title. CALLE OCHO obviously translates to 8th Street. Well in MIAMI, where Pitbull is originally from, 8th Street is where a lot of the Cubans party and get their groove on. Go to the Calle Ocho festival in March...they will bump this song and you will see that todos los cubanos will dance their culos off. It's got the Latin flavor!
