In his most recent interview with DJ Z, Pitbull let us all in on his simple yet damned-near-foolproof strategy for success in today’s unforgiving music industry: just drop hits, hits, and more hits. In addition to moving albums, that tactic makes unauthorized leaks less of a liability and more of an opportunity. Across the World is a case in point; leaked last Wednesday, the cut has now been selected as the official follow-up to Rebelution single number four, Hotel Room Service. Does the track have what it takes to score Pit another chart smash? You’d better believe it! With an understated, genuinely catchy sung hook and verse by buzzmaking ATLien B.o.B (aka Bobby Ray), a crisp eight-bit beat by Jim Jonsin, and, of course, the Latin-rap heavyweight’s crowd-pleasing rhymes, this wistful ode to the international grind has a bubbly appeal few will be able to resist. After five singles, listeners should know exactly what to expect from Pit’s latest full-length—if you’ve got a taste for hip-hop ear candy of the street or club-oriented variety, pick up your copy of Rebelution when it hits record stores and online retailers September 1st.

 Everything about this record hits.
Jonsin's production has been on quite a roll at radio the last two years, Pitbull's current track record at mainstream speaks for itself, and if B.o.B. is not yet on your radar... than you're probably six feet under (sorry).

When I first heard the beat I thought it was going to be another generic song but I was mistaken. The beat is hot and B.o.B does his thing. Pitbull has some good lyrics that will attract to the ladies. This song is 110% ear candy..sounds lame at first but you'll be hooked!

This beat fit B.o.B. PERFECTLY! Seriously Jim Jonsin might be my favorite producer out there right now. Pitbull killed this beat too. I love his flow. This is an easy banger and will be on repeat for a LONG time probably.

Had this on my iPod for a few days; the booth is a bit postponed on this one. Anyways, gets better with repeated listens and one of the best Pitbull tracks I've heard and, as a citizen of the 305, I've heard A LOT of Pitbull. The beat here is excellent; as is B.o.B.'s contribution. I'm going for a 4.5 out of 5 on this one.

Normally i bag on Pitbull, i have on nearly every feature he's had on here. BUT wen i heard this song last week it was an instant download. From that ease and bangin production, to the sing/rapping that actually works, i couldnt help but not say this song IS HOT. 4.5 stars and im rating up cuz ive been so hard on dude.

I'm feeling this side of Pitbull, and getting Bobby Ray on the collabo is huge. I think just about anyone could have made this Jonsin production a hit, but Pitbull brought a great look to the record.

I cant believe im goin to say this, but I am getting very tempted to buy Rebelution. It is shaping up to be a album full of hits.
To this track, the production was superb from Jonsin (my vote for producer of the year), Pitbull was good & the addition of B.o.B (I thought he changed his name to Bobby Ray?) was a great choice of feature. |

Man. I might have to do just the same thing, Aussie. This was absolutely amazing. Jonsin threw in a killer with one of the better Pitbull tracks I've heard in awhile. B.o.B. is great..of course. 4.44 stars

This beat is crazy. Good change for pitbull. He needed a breath away from all that " BOOM BOOM ROOM" bs. B.O.B. is something special. I am looking forward to seeing how his Career goes. He has some talent, kinda quirky at times, but gifted never the less. (He looks like Randy Moss) This is a dope track

This is a banger but I don't know why Pitbull starts rapping halfway through the song especially since this is a Pitbull song. The hook is catchy but I wanna hear more Pitbull.

A totally different sound from what we've come to expect from Pitbull and I applaud him for that. Glad to see this time he hits up different dealers of dope! music as B.o.B completely spazzed out on it with a slowed-down singsong delivery and droppin' extremely catchy rhymes on its way to across the world. I was skeptical about how Pitbull would sound over this but he comes across real nice! spittin his usual game but it always helps when a Rapper manages to pull of - A Different Way of Doing the Same Old Thing ... BANGER!!!

wow! i think dis might be my fav Pitbull song to date. thats big for me considering i love listening to all his club jams ever since Toma. he always put out consistent club bangers. im surprised that he can switch up his style here and immediatley sound jus as good, if not better.
i also strongly considering buyin the album. @Z- u r right, everything about this HITS. thats y im givin it a 5. i dont think Pitbull has ever made a #1, but this could be his first. |

Mainstream hit style with a catchy beat, and one of my favorite hip-hop artists, plus with Pitbull's distinct flow, this is a banger. Songs designed to be hits are hit or flop, and this hits.

@Phantom - The version you have on your iPod is not mixed/mastered. The unofficial leaked version dropped in the middle of last week. After they recognized the leak, they services DJs and websites with the final album inclusion version. Don't support leaked music!

B.o.B are great. I remember bringing "I'll be in the sky" with me on a roadtrip that took about 13 hours. People in the car were playin it over n over the whole ride! Didnt even get sick of it (well maybe a little) but still a great song! So is this. Interesting tune, and Pitbull did good as well:) sure IS 'music for the world'

I like how smooth the beat is. Normally Pitbull is hit and miss with me. But this one should be on MTV or BET as Number One on some one countdown. B.O.B. always put it down man, I've been a fan of him since the Who is B.O.B. mixtape.
