While the album itself peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard charts, three singles hit No. 1: "Just the Way You Are," "Grenade,"…

Pitbull's a natural phenomenon- he's said so himself. Like the title of his most recent album, Global Warming, Pitbull says he's been around a long time but people are just starting to notice.

For a short time in the not so distant past, fans of "the best rapper alive" thought the list of best Lil Wayne songs ever had reached its final draft. Erroneous reports claimed that Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr. had passed away in a Los Angeles hospital after a sudden bout of seizures and other complications. This would've been a sad end to one of the most prolific and successful music careers of our generation, but instead Lil…
