[edit] Collaborations?

I'm sorry but this list of collaborations and "remixes" seem like a list from a peer to peer network. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by As4xx (talk • contribs) 03:23, 7 February 2007 (UTC).

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 to prove is "Lovers And Friends (Remix)". --esanchez, Camp Lazlo fan! 04:22, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Oh, okay, I know the lovers and friends remix exists, I'll try finding something verifiable on it--As4xx 05:44, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

I know the Lovers and Friends remix exists too. But it has kind of a Reggaeton beat to it rather than the original one.

I just posted a tag on this section because Wikipedia doesn't have to list every single song by another musician that a certain musician has appeared on if Wikipedia can't provide "List of all songs by X". Thus, let's just reduce it to other recording artist's singles that feature Pitbull. Remixes of singles are acceptable in that section if they can be traced back to reliable sources, not just LimeWire or random P2P websites. Thanks. --Andrewlp1991 06:32, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

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. ElMeroEse (talk) 22:21, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

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 Friends", and call it "Lovers and Friends (Reggaeton Mix featuring Pitbull)", even though the use of the vocals were not authorized by Pitbull and the remix is unofficial.

The list isn't inherently unencyclopedia, it may just need cleanup as Rhythmnation2004 suggests. A man notable for rapping should rightly have the instances of his recordings listed in the article. –Pomte 12:49, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
