* InformedFlaw: Pitbull was born with a type of localized paralysis in the nerves in his left cheek, making it very difficult to stretch the skin when he talks. Despite this, he's actually overcome this and can speak normally.

to:

* GratuitousSpanish: He's Cuban American, so understandably he knows Spanish and will use words\stanzas in it even in English songs.
* InDaClub: Given a lot of his songs are about partying in the club, a common music video setting.

* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Pitbull makes it clear that he values making money above most things. This is most jarring in his guest verse in Music/HavanaBrown's "We Run the Night" where he ends it with ''"Now fuck you, pay me."'' Depending on what station you hear the song on, that line may be edited out. The same line is said in his collaboration with ''Akon'', "Shut It Down".

* ProductPlacement: The intro to "Give Me Everything" ("Me not working hard? Yeah right\ Picture that with a Kodak\And, better yet, go to Times Square\[[RhymingWithItself Take a picture of me with a Kodak]]").



* SpecialGuest: Many, most recurring being Music/NeYo("Give Me Everything" and "Time of Our Lives") and Music/LilJon.



* TheVillainSucksSong: "Welcome to Dade County" is this to Lil Wayne, who had gone on a scathing rant about the Miami heat in early 2013. Not only does Pitbull defend his hometown and warn Lil Wayne not to do it again, but in the outro of the track he mentions that's it made worse by how the citizens of Florida paid respect to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.

Added DiffLines:

* RagsToRiches: Many of his songs have him talking about how his life started on a sad note to get to where he is today. This can be established by his being kicked out of his own house by his mother at age 16 for being a drug dealer.
