For people, it should usually be a profession or position they are best known for. And Pitbull is best known as a rapper, not as a songwriter or record producer. It's clear that he's more often referred to as a rapper than an entertainer outside of Knowledge. Compare 1657: 1555: 1430: 1318: 1133: 1085: 1022: 722: 800: 3020: 2941: 2563: 2461: 1830:. The use of "(entertainer)" to denote a class of, primarily, hip-hop musicians, rather than calling them musicians, is uninformative, counterproductive to disambiguation (not that actual disambiguation is the purpose of this particular disambiguation tag), and frankly obnoxious. We should not use it in any case, including this one. 1512:, the first sentence of the second paragraph mistakenly uses the word "rational" instead of "rationale". ;) But I would strongly suggest just removing that word from the sentence entirely, and rewriting the sentence so that it is more straightforward and uses proper grammar. The current grammar is incorrect. 1746:(and at least some results on the latter still seem to derive from Knowledge usage). Additionally, I share the concerns other editors have voiced in similar RMs, that "entertainer" is largely a neologism the way we use it, and is more likely to conjure mental images of jugglers than popular musicians. 1895:

I notice our change came as a result of just 4 people taking part in a very brief discussion, and with a 3-1 decision now Pitbull is suddenly just a rapper, not an entertainer. For some he may not be a rapper anyhow as I explained. For others, he may be a rapper, yes, but more than "just a rapper". I

this page says Pitbull has 100 children, but there's no source provided and this might be entirely untrue. he has two confirmed children from a relationship with a woman named Barbara Alba, and REPORTEDLY has a few more with other women, but there's no sources available to prove it true or untrue. I

Before going to specifics of our discussions, just a brief word about how legit a "rapper" Pitbull is. The rap community acts in disdain every time he is called a rapper, as many consider him just a pop singer churning out some words to dance songs in night venues and on radio/television. That's not

Actually, most of them I researched them through the iTunes music store. I put "Pitbull" on the Search and put some of them in the list. Also, I found this site that had a mixtape with Pitbull that made "The Miami Remix" of several song. The Promiscuous one was on his MySpace but the one I will need

I note the above RM. The problem is printed sources don't say " entertainer Pitbull" they say 141x "rapper pitbull." This is an ugly neologism because we know "John Smith (singer)" isn't quite right because, well, John Smith cannot "sing" a note. But this isn't the meaning of entertainer either.

states, "Ethnicity or sexuality should not generally be emphasized in the opening unless it is relevant to the subject's notability." Although ethnically Cuban, he doesn't appear to have Cuban citizenship and thus his nationality is purely American and he should be listed as an American rapper.

197:

What makes the issue confusing is that many people will take vocals from one song and make a reggaeton mix of another song, and insert the vocals. Basically, someone could rip Pitbull's vocals from, say, "Culo", and put them over a new reggaeton beat, mix them with another song, say, "Lovers and

In the introductory paragraph it states that pitbull is "American". He was indeed born in the United States, but to Cuban parents. In this situation, people are referenced as "Cuban-Americans". Pitbull himself has stated that he is the later in an interview to CNN:

If that's the case, will we be required to provide actual CDs, vinyls or LPs? Note that some songs from artists nowadays are only being released in MP3 form. Since those songs are rare, verification from the artist or the label itself might be necessary.

627:

Born in 1981???? Pitbull looks like much older. It's impossible that a man with Pitbull's physique were born such later as 1981; he has at least 40 years old (and tons of age prejudices). So, it would be good a really reliable reference as for his real
