With the catchy football-themed hit “Black and Yellow” in 2010, and the marijuana-fueled boasts of his Atlantic-label debut album Rolling Papers the following year, the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania-based rapper Wiz Khalifa had become one of the most popular artists in the entire hip-hop field. That breakthrough capped a rise of several years in which Khalifa consistently built a strong following by independent means even as he struggled to land a major-label contract. Canny in business matters and musically open to a variety of influences, Khalifa was building a foundation for extended success with film and festival appearances in 2011.

Found Roots

Settling in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Khalifa began writing music even before entering his teens. His stage name preceded his musical career, and its two parts were given to him separately. In an MTV interview quoted by Digital Spy, Khalifa explained that “Wiz,” was given to him by older guys he hung out with, because he was “good at everything I do,” while “Khalifa,” which is Arabic for “successor” and “leader,” was given to him by his Muslim grandfather. Attending Pittsburgh’s Taylor Allderdice High School, Khalifa spent time at the local I.D. Labs studio and impressed local Rostrum Records executive Benjy Grinberg with his early efforts.

Grinberg realized that music played an important role in the young rapper’s life and began motivating him, telling Korina Lopez of USA Today that Khalifa’s rootless childhood “was tough on him, but he found a friend in music.” Grinberg became Khalifa’s manager, but Khalifa himself also brought strong business sense to the table from the beginning. “My dad has been a big influence on me, because he’s always had his own business,” Khalifa explained to Hattie Collins of the London Guardian. “He really taught me business sense and how to be a focused individual, but also how to have fun and make everyone around you have fun.” By the time he graduated from high school in 2006, Khalifa had released several singles and a mixtape, Prince of the City: Welcome to Pistolvania, which was getting attention well beyond Pittsburgh.

By the following year Khalifa was being touted as a major young hip-hop talent, and he and Rostrum had signed a distribution deal with the major Warner Brothers label. Two singles, “Young’n on His Grind” and “Say Yeah” gained reasonable attention for releases by a newcomer, but Khalifa soon became disillusioned by his relationship with Warner Brothers, and negotiations over the completion of a full-length Khalifa debut broke down. Khalifa elected to release the album, Show and Prove, independently on Rostrum and to undertake its promotion himself.

The move was a smart one for several reasons. He kept turning out new music, releasing the album Deal or No Deal (2009) and the mixtape Flight School (2010), and promoting live appearances via web sites MySpace and later Facebook. By late 2009, hip-hop agent Peter Schwartz was impressed to see Khalifa selling out New York shows and racking up more than 19 million plays on MySpace. Schwarz signed Khalifa to the Agency Group, a major New York booking agency, in early 2010.

Musically, too, remaining independent helped Khalifa build a solid foundation for his career. In a hip-hop world atomized among regional styles–East Coast, West Coast, Southern–Khalifa fit into none of them and was free to draw from them all. Pittsburgh had never been known for its hip-hop scene, and Khalifa became a fresh voice for many listeners. By 2010 Khalifa was receiving heavy attention from hip-hop publications such as The Source, which named him its Rookie of the Year. At one point that year Khalifa’s Kush and Orange Juice mixtape was the top trending topic on the Twitter microblogging web site, and his Waken Baken tour with another new artist, Yelawolf, reportedly notched sales of 90,000 tickets. On the strength of these accomplishments, Khalifa was signed to Atlantic.

Ode to Steelers

Indeed, “Black and Yellow,” which marked Khalifa’s commercial breakthrough, celebrated not marijuana but professional football’s Pittsburgh Steelers, who lost to the Green Bay Packers in the 2011 Super Bowl. The recording, with its persistent repetition of the title phrase, gained popularity during the football playoffs and rose to the number one spot on Billboard magazine’s Hot 100 singles chart in February of 2011. A second single, “Roll Up,” also reached the top ten of Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop chart, forming a strong foundation for the release of Rolling Papers in March of 2011; the cover showed Khalifa’s head enveloped in smoke. The album topped Billboard’s Rap and R&B album charts and made its debut at number two on the general Billboard 200 chart.

In the spring and summer of 2011 Khalifa, who was dating rapper Kanye West’s ex-girlfriend Amber Rose, was already making plans to extend his career into new arenas. He co-starred in the 2011 film High School with the similarly drug-oriented rapper Snoop Dogg, whose career served in some respects as a model for his own, and he recorded a contribution to the Snoop Dogg song “This Weed Is Mine.” His summer 2011 Green Carpet tour focused on college campuses, and featured a tour bus powered by biodiesel fuel. The rapper, whom Collins called “an incredibly canny young man,” had already shown impressive commercial and artistic instincts.

Perry’s trademark character for many of his plays is Madea, a large, elderly black woman in a bad wig (played in drag by Perry) who is a symbolic stand-in for African American matriarchal wisdom and humor. Beginning in the late 1990s, Perry produced a series of plays featuring Madea (a Southern term for “grandmother” or “mother dear”)–Madea’s Family Reunion, Madea’s Class Reunion, Madea Goes to Jail–that revitalized small urban theater across the nation. In 2005 an earlier play, Diary of a Mad Black Woman, debuted as a feature film which, despite general critical failure, managed to become a major box-office success. This was followed by the 2006 film of Madea’s Family Reunion, directed by and starring the multitalented Perry.

Born: September 30, 1985 in Tallahassee, United States, Florida

Nationality: American

Occupation: Rap musician

Rapper T-Pain scored a string of hits that made him one of the hottest new acts in the genre. His featured performances included Kanye West’s “Good Life,” which earned West the 2008 Grammy Award for best rap song, and so many of T-Pain’s own hits have become best-selling ringtones that Billboard magazine dubbed him “The Ring King.” The basic elements of writing and production are at the core of his success, he told writer Sonia Murray in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “Everybody is so busy concentrating on a song, trying to be different or abstract,” he reflected, “instead of just being a basic, beautiful picture.” T-Pain scored a second Grammy Award in 2010 and released his fourth album in 2011.

He was raised in a Muslim household, but his father, Shasheem, was a working rhythm-and-blues (R&B) musician, and T-Pain was exposed to the music business at an early age because of it. In his teens he attended Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, but returned to Tallahassee and joined a local rap act called Nappy Headz. They had some local success with the singles “F.L.A.” and “Oops,” which found fans across the Atlantic, but as T-Pain recalled in a 2006 interview with writer Steve Jones in USA Today, “we even had callers from London saying they wanted us to perform over there, but we couldn’t go there because nobody had passports.”

As a solo artist, T-Pain scored his first hit after reworking a track from Senegalese-American rapper Akon. The original song was titled “Locked Up,” but T-Pain refashioned it into “I’m [Messed] Up” after obtaining an advance promotional copy of the song before it was officially released to radio in early 2005. “I jacked his beat, basically,” he admitted to Jones in the USA Today interview. “I made my own song and my own video and everything. It started to get so big that people thought when ‘Locked Up’ came out, he stole it from me. It was crazy.” The song came to the attention of Akon, who tried to contact the upstart, but T-Pain initially thought it was a prank call. Instead the African-born musician invited him to sign with his own label, Konvict Muzik, but “I’m [Messed] Up” had also attracted the attention of a major label, Interscope, whose executives also began to court T-Pain. At the time, his father was his manager, and “my dad was really looking at the money rather than the artistic situation,” T-Pain recalled in a 2008 interview with Hillary Crosley in Billboard. “He wanted me to sign with Interscope because they were throwing out the most money. But the day I had a meeting with Interscope, I ran away from home.”

T-Pain released his debut on Akon’s Konvict Muzik–a subsidiary of Jive Records–in 2005. Its title, Rappa Ternt Sanga, was a slangy turn on the phrase “rapper turned singer,” and its 18 tracks were autobiographical and dealt in frank terms with certain aspects of his private life. The album yielded a pair of Billboard top ten hits: “I’m Sprung” and “I’m N Luv (Wit a Stripper)”; moreover, both songs were released as downloadable ringtones and became massive hits in that particular sales territory. The first racked up sales of nearly two million, while “I’m N Luv (Wit a Stripper)” hit the five-million ringtone mark. That feat earned him some respect from Jive executives, who had until then been uninterested in providing any marketing or promotional money for Akon’s new protégé. “I had people at Jive tell me they didn’t believe in my product and let me know that they didn’t too much care,” Antony Bruno in Billboard quoted T-Pain as saying in 2007. “But selling 6.7 million ringtones … changed their minds.” He also noted in another interview that the tale about the exotic dancer came when he and friend took a third pal, whom they dubbed “Choir Boy,” to an adult-entertainment establishment. On a more serious note, however, he told Blender magazine’s Ryan Dombal that “I’ve been to a lot of strip clubs and I’ve heard a lot of life stories. It’s saddening. This one girl showed me a bunch of pictures of her kids and told me how she really wanted to be with them but she couldn’t because she can only strip out of town because everyone in her city knows her.”

T-Pain’s second album was Epiphany, and it debuted at the No. 1 spot on the Billboard R&B chart in June of 2007. Its first single, “Buy U a Drank (Shawty Snappin’)” featuring Atlanta rapper Yung Joc, became the top-selling ringtone of the year. Epiphany also featured guest spots from Akon on the track “Bartender,” reached platinum-status, and climbed to the top of the Billboard “Top 200″ album charts as well. The sudden fame made T-Pain an in-demand guest vocalist on tracks by others, including “The Boss” from Rick Ross, “Kiss Kiss” from Chris Brown, and Kanye West’s “Good Life,” which won West the Grammy Award for best rap song of 2007.

Known for his songwriting and production skills as well as his songwriting talents, T-Pain founded his own label, Nappy Boy Entertainment, in 2007 and began working with a number of up-and-coming artists, including Jay Lyriq, Tay Dizm, and Sophia Fresh. The second single from Thr33 Ringz was “Chopped N Skrewed,” which featured Ludacris, and the Chris Brown-featured “Freeze” was the third track. T-Pain told the Tampa Tribune that despite the circus-themed promotional efforts used to sell Thr33 Ringz, it was a more mature record for him. “I think it takes everyone two albums to find themselves,” he told reporter Curtis Ross. “It took me that long.”

T-Pain is known for the top hats that cover his dreadlocks and has a collection of more than 300 of them, many of them custom made. The only downside to fame, he admitted, was the arduous tours. “It’s too demanding,” he told Bruno in Billboard. “You got tour rules. You can’t be you and they stop you from doing stuff and you can’t do what you want to do onstage.” In his former hometown of Tallahassee, however, he holds an annual concert event, “T-Pain and Friends,” with the proceeds donated to local charities. He lives in Duluth, a suburb of Atlanta, with his wife and three children.

On the big screen, T-Pain appeared in the 2010 film Lottery Ticket. He provided voice work for animated television shows, such as Aqua Unit Patrol Squad 1 and The Cleveland Show, and appeared on the series FCU: Fact Checkers Unit. He won another Grammy Award in 2010 for best R&B performance by a duo or group with vocals for “Blame It,” with Jamie Foxx. In 2011 he released his fourth album, RevolveR, which contained the singles “Best Love Song,” featuring Chris Brown, and “5 O’Clock,” featuring Wiz Khalifa and Lily Allen.

Stephen King is among the most successful, popular, productive, and widely-read contemporary authors of horror fiction, and the films and television programs based on his numerous works have made millions. King’s ability to produce fantastic, captivating tales combining elements of psychological thrills, mystery, gore, and science fiction, and featuring real-life characters with common worries in everyday settings has endeared him to readers and moviegoers worldwide. Despite his tremendous success, King, whose 1977 novel The Shining, which had been adapted and released as a film in 1980 was subsequently adapted for television and broadcast as a miniseries on ABC in 1997, continues to maintain both his popularity and his sense of humor. In a quote which appears on the internet service CelebSite, King joked: “People want to know why I do this, why I write such gross stuff. I like to tell them that I have the heart of a small boy–and I keep it in a jar on my desk.”

Living what King described to Playboy contributor Eric Norden as “a pretty shirttail existence,” King’s mother moved frequently with her two young sons during the first half of the 1950s to stay with relatives in a variety of cities in Maine, Massachusetts, Illinois, Wisconsin, Connecticut, and Indiana, and supported them by working at a series of low-paying jobs. King has revealed that by reading to him during his childhood and by encouraging him to submit his manuscripts to publishers, his mother was a tremendous influence on his career as a writer, and in his 1981 nonfiction book Danse Macabre he described her as a “talented pianist and a woman with a great and sometimes eccentric sense of humor.” King’s itinerant early years are perhaps the reason he told Norden that as a child, he “had friends and all that, but I often felt unhappy and different, estranged from other kids my age.” In 1958 the family settled in Durham, Maine, so that King’s mother could care for her elderly parents. King attended elementary school in Durham, and went on to attend high school in Lisbon Falls, where he covered high school sports as a writer for the Lisbon Enterprise. He published, “I Was a Teenage Grave Robber,” his first story, in the fan magazine Comics Review in 1965, which was also the year he wrote his first full-length manuscript, called “The Aftermath.”

After graduating high school, King went on to attend the University of Maine at Orono on a scholarship; he majored in English and minored in speech. While at the University of Maine, King wrote a column for the campus newspaper and was active in the political and anti-war activities that proliferated on college campuses in the 1960s. In 1967 King first received payment as a writer for “The Glass Floor,” which was a story published in Startling Mystery Stories. Although he was only an undergraduate student, King taught an English course at the University of Maine called Popular Literature and Culture, which was developed after King took the English department to task for the narrow scope offered in its traditional literature courses. King graduated from college in 1970 and because he was unable to find immediate work as an English teacher, he supported himself by working at a gas station and a laundry until 1971, when he was hired to teach English at Hampden Academy, a private high school in Hampden, Maine. King also married his college sweetheart Tabitha Jane Spruce in 1971; later, in “Why I Was Bachman,” his introduction to The Bachman Books, King declared: “The only important thing I ever did in my life for a conscious reason was to ask Tabitha Spruce … if she would marry me.”

King wrote the story that became his first novel, Carrie, in 1972, but, dissatisfied with it, he quickly threw it away; his wife removed the manuscript from the trash and encouraged him to submit it for publication. Doubleday published Carrie in 1974, and although it initially sold only thirteen thousand copies in its first hardcover release, the subsequent paperback editions in 1975 and 1976–the second edition corresponded with the release of the film version of Carrie–sold a combined total of 3.5 million copies, and King quickly achieved the status of a best-selling author. The novel depicts Carrie White, a disturbed, lonely teenager who uses her supernatural telekinetic powers to kill the classmates who have tormented her and her own mother, a deranged religious zealot who has taught Carrie to feel self-hatred. In this first novel King displays his affinity for presenting such real-life adolescent problems as peer pressure and his emphasis on the roles and concerns of women. Although the novel was a popular success, critical reception of it was mixed, with some reviewers praising King’s realistic, believable portrayal of the terror and outrage that marked Carrie White’s life and death, and others faulting King’s narrative as excessively violent.

King has, over the course of the ensuing decades, steadily built upon the publishing success he established with the release of Carrie, and has sold over one hundred million copies of his works worldwide. “Nothing is as unstoppable as one of King’s furies, except perhaps King’s word processor,” according to People’s Gil Schwartz; King was selected by People as one of twenty people who defined the 1980s. Critics have offered negative assessments of King’s books throughout his career, but the author’s commercial success has continued to expand. American Film contributors Darrell Ewing and Dennis Meyers called King “the chronicler of contemporary America’s dreams, desires, and fears,” and in Kingdom of Fear: The World of Stephen King, Leslie Fiedler noted that “no other writer in the {horror} genre {has} ever before produced so long a series of smash successes … so that he has indeed finally become–in his own words–a ‘brand name.’”

The types of characters and themes King has employed in his many books has greatly varied, and many of his works defy classification; nevertheless, similarities between his works have been noted, specifically concerning King’s treatment of his subjects and characters. A defining characteristic of King’s style is his emphasis upon the inability of his characters to account for the striking evidence of the presence of evil or the supernatural within their everyday lives. King’s characters are all distinctly human, sharing a variety of common human frailties and facing very familiar problems, and it is their humanity in the face of otherworldly forces that lends credibility to King’s stories and thus makes the books more accessible to his readers. The accessibility of King’s narratives, the humor and compassion in King’s presentation of his stories and characters, and the way in which readers are able to empathize with his characters are also what make the stories frightening and compelling; William F. Nolan declared in Kingdom of Fear, “King, more than any other modern master of Dark Fantasy, knows how to activate our primal fears,” and asserted that readers “value his unique ability to scare the living daylights out of us.” Similarly, Don Herron remarked in Discovering Stephen King that readers begin “a new Stephen King book with thrills of expectation, waiting for this guy who’s really a horror fan, see, to jump out of old closet and yell ‘Boo!!!’”

Some of King’s books that feature young people as their main characters include Carrie, which relates the terror faced by Carrie White, a shy, awkward teenage girl who suffers abuse both at the hands of her mother and her peers; Christine, his 1983 novel in which an isolated teenage boy is placed at the mercy of a demonic automobile; and 1980′s Firestarter, in which Charlie McGee’s telekinetic power to start fires using mental images and emotional impulses is sought after by the U. S. government, which seeks to manipulate Charlie and gain control over the firestarting power. King has asserted that his 1986 novel It is the last of his novels to feature children and supernatural monsters; in this narrative, seven children who are members of the “Losers Club” defend themselves and their community against a mysterious demon dwelling in the sewer system. The story begins in 1958 and concludes in 1985, when the now-adult members of the Losers club return to their childhood home and vow to destroy the monster they call “It” using the only weapons to which It appears vulnerable: faith, humor, and childlike fearlessness. New York Review of Books contributor Thomas R. Edwards concluded “Only brave and imaginative children, or adults who learn to remember and honor their childish selves can hope to foil It, as the Losers finally do in 1985.”

Born: June 28, 1974 in Ohio, Kettering, United States

Nationality: American

Occupation: Skateboarder

Dyrdek was born in Kettering, Ohio, near Dayton, and began skateboarding at age 12. Frequently he had to dodge police while skateboarding in locations where it was illegal. He has amassed $5,000 in fines and was even jailed. One of his favorite spots was a strip mall across the street from a police station.

He won his first competition and was a founding member of the G&S (Gordon & Smith) team. Dyrdek turned pro at 16, in 1991, joining Alien Workshop. He starred in skateboarding videos and promoted the sport. He also expanded his business ventures, working out of a San Diego warehouse he leased. In addition, he leased a training park he called the TF, or Training Facility.

Hosted MTV Reality Shows

Rob & Big, which began on MTV in 2006, featured Dyrdek and his bodyguard friend, Christopher “Big Black” Boykin, who live together in Hollywood Hills. Dyrdek worked in conjunction with filmmaker Greg Hunt, himself a former pro skateboarder. Dyrdek’s bodyguard essentially shielded Dyrdek from police and other security guards while Dyrdek skated.

After Dryden wrote the 2009 film, Street Dreams, by and about skateboarders, he began hosting “Fantasy Factory,” in which he pursues business projects. Dyrdek “envisioned a show that highlighted his relentless pursuit of business endeavors, the quirky staff of Dyrdek Enterprises, and the light-hearted antics of chasing down fantasies,” Dyrdek said on his own Web site. His namesake Dyrdek Enterprises has moved into a 25,000 square-foot warehouse–with room for skateboarding–near downtown Los Angeles. Ken Block, co-founder and president of DC Shoes, a Dyrdek sponsor, told Sports Illustrated. The Dyrdek model was selling out in stores within a year.

More Selective in Business Ventures

Dyrdek, after his success with DC Shoes, invested in other ventures, some of which failed. His record label fizzled, as did his retailing efforts. “I threw a dart at just about everything,” he told Russell.

His more successful investments include skateboarding equipment and sportswear companies Silver Trucks and Reflex Barings. His future projects include expansion of the Rogue Status clothing line, a partnership with drummer Travis Barker from the band Blink-182. After the success of Fantasy Factory, Dyrdek has begun marketing children’s toys through his Wild Grinders venture. He also owns a stake in East, a pan-Asian restaurant in Hollywood.

Nationality: American

Occupation: Rap musician

Rapper Pitbull built a successful recording career on his Southern party rap tracks during the first decade of the twenty-first century. Influenced by his Cuban heritage, the performer has incorporated political themes into his songs and released an album recorded entirely in Spanish. His danceable party rap tunes have won the artist a substantial fan base and helped send his gold-selling debut album, 2005′s M.I.A.M.I., to the top of the Billboard Independent Albums charts. Follow-up releases, including 2006′s El Mariel, 2007′s The Boatlift, and 2009′s Rebelution have also fared well both popularly and critically. Throughout his career, Pitbull has been recognized as a strong collaborator, appearing on tracks by artists ranging from Lil Jon to Enrique Iglesias.

Born Armando Christian Pérez on January 15, 1981, in Miami, Florida, the rapper is the child of first generation Cuban-American immigrants who instilled in their son a respect for his Latin heritage and for the written word by having him memorize poems written by Cuban poet Jose Martí. However, challenges marked the young performer’s childhood; his father dealt and used drugs, and his parent split while he was small, leaving Pitbull primarily in the care of his mother and even a foster family in Georgia. During his teens, the future rapper and his father reunited, although he later recalled to Judy Faber of CBS News that “it was more like a friendship than it was a father and son [relationship].” When he was 16 years old, his mother kicked him out of the house upon discovering that Pitbull had begun dealing drugs. He managed to graduate from high school, but had less interest in learning than in rapping.

Formed Grassroots Audience

The aspiring rapper got his start performing on mix tapes distributed locally in Miami, and soon attracted the attention of controversial 1980s rap group 2 Live Crew founder Luther Campbell. The elder rapper tapped Pitbull to appear on one of his singles, which resulted in the rapper beginning to work with Atlanta-based producer and rapper Lil Jon. Pitbull made a cameo appearance on Lil Jon’s Kings of Crunk album and landed a track on the 2 Fast 2 Furious soundtrack before signing with independent record label TVT in 2004. His first single, “Culo,” became a word-of-mouth hit due in no small part to the rapper’s own self-promotion. “This is how you make a name for yourself with no record deal,” he explained to Teresa Wiltz of the Washington Post, adding, “no video, no publishing contract. My records climb charts. I’m selling me to the world. I’m not selling gimmicks.”

In August of 2004, Pitbull released his debut, M.I.A.M.I. (Money Is Still a Major Issue). Hailed as “a fierce and fun ride” by Steven Chen of Entertainment Weekly, the album built on the hype generated by “Culo” to establish Pitbull as a true Southern rap success. M.I.A.M.I. cruised to number 14 on the Billboard 200, as singles “Dimmit Man,” “Toma,” and “Back Up” popped up on the airwaves, eventually achieving gold-selling status. The artist’s next LP, El Mariel, paid tribute to his Cuban heritage by referring to the port from which thousands of Cubans emigrated to the United States in its title, and by exploring some of the issues facing Miami and its people in its lyrics. However, “there’s only a bit of revolution among all this party music,” commented All Music Guide’s David Jeffries. “Make that glorious, vibrant, exciting, and always infectious party music.” Bolstered by singles “Dime (Tell Me)” and “Ay Chico (Lengua Afuera),” the album topped the Billboard Independent Albums chart, cracked the top five of the R&B charts, and made it to a respectable number 17 on the Billboard 200.

In early 2007, the rapper appeared in an eight-episode comedy program called Pitbull’s La Esquina on Spanish- and English-language network mun2. Set in Miami’s Little Havana neighborhood, the program featured the rapper and a number of celebrity guests discussing timely issues. “The show is humorous, but at the same time there’s a message,” Pitbull told Billboard’s Ayala Ben-Yehuda. Later that year, Pitbull continued the exploration of his Latin roots on his third album, The Boatlift. Again referencing the movement of Cubans to Miami in the album’s title, the rapper incorporated club-friendly rhythms with his Latin rap style. “Pitbull’s signature combination of clever, in-your-face Spanglish lyrics and frenetic dance beats is at its best on this album, where he plays to his less excessively crude sensibilities,” observed Ben-Yehuda in a separate Billboard review. Nevertheless, the album and singles “Go Girl” and “The Anthem” failed to match the commercial successes of their predecessors.

Broke with TVT

By 2008, relations between Pitbull and TVT had soured; the record label faced extreme financial difficulties, and–according to the rapper–had failed to adequately promote The Boatlift due to contention over a lawsuit between TVT and Miami-based record label Slip-n-Slide concerning an album of Pitbull’s early material released by the latter label. The rapper sued the by-then bankrupt TVT for escape from his recording contract. “The relationship between the label and the artist is delicate, requiring mutual respect,” commented one of Pitbull’s attorneys, Coralee Penabad, in the Miami Daily Business Review. “In this case, TVT did not respect its artist, his career and his future and simply attempted to exert extreme control as a master.” Ultimately, Pitbull won the suit, and soon signed with the larger Polo Grounds Music/RCA Music Group.

Now backed by a major label, Pitbull entered the studio to record his fourth album, Rebelution. By the time of the album’s release in the late summer of 2009, it had already produced two popular singles, “I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)” and “Hotel Room Service,” that exemplified its club-driven, danceable sound. Described as “a mix of infectious dance hooks and rapid-fire rhymes” by Ben-Yehuda, the album featured the production efforts of such heavy hitters as Jim Jonsin, who had previously worked with rappers Lil Wayne and T.I., and The Neptunes, who had produced Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z. The album proved a commercial hit, topping the Billboard Rap Albums chart, cracking the top five of the R&B Albums chart, and peaking at number eight on the Billboard 200.

The artist embarked on a string of tour dates to support Rebelution, making headlines while on the road in April of the following year when he physically assaulted a fan who joined him onstage in Aspen, Colorado; the fan “pulled out some cash to make it rain on the rapper, and Pitbull responded with a swift punch to the guy’s face,” according to Issie Lapowsky of the New York Daily News. No charges were filed, however, and the rapper continued his nationwide tour. Two months later, he released his first full-length entirely Spanish-language album, Armando, through Sony Latin. An English-language follow-up, Planetpit, was scheduled to drop in the fall of 2010.
