Make it stand out
Pitbull – aka Mr Worldwide aka Mr 305, born Armando Christian Pérez – maintains a singular star appeal. Despite not having had a hit song since his stellar Recession Pop run over a decade ago, he maintains an enraptured audience. Let us explore his enigmatic majesty …
Pitbull is persuasive. Be it via ad-lib, gyration, or call to action, he seeks to involve. As Mr. 305, a fierce rep of his native Miami, but also as Mr Worldwide, a global citizen, he works in service of the people. His raison d’etre: being a vehicle for good times and sexiness, ministering us to seize the day and night. He is a beacon of benign sleaze, a relentless optimist, a supreme motivator, a swashbuckling entertainer, a rakish seducer. Goddammit, he is a rebel and a prophet.
