The line “80 on my wrist, 100 on my wrist” is a direct reference to the price of his two watches where one of his watches cost $100,000 and the other cost $80,000. In this repetitive message, all that is really being said is the price of Lil Pump’s watches. Lil Pump fits the status quo perfectly as this song is literally about two expensive watches that Lil Pump owns: Since many rappers have fallen upon a pile of money that they never had before, they don’t know what to do with it and splurge on unnecessary items. Rappers get a bad rap for being very materialistic. Sadly, the pitiful lyrics we saw in “Gucci Gang” will be back again here today. The last song I looked at – “Gucci Gang” – sat at the top of the Billboard Top 100 for weeks and this song is also one of his top hits. For a quick recap, Lil Pump is a 17 year old high school dropout/rapper from Florida who has a grown a strong fan base over the course of 2017. If the name Lil Pump sounds familiar, it’s because he was the same artist I talked about the last time I looked at a song from the bottom feeders of the rap scene. I feel like this is important to do to truly highlight the stark differences between quality rap music and loads of garbage like the song “D-Rose”. It’s been awhile since I have taken a look at a rap song that lives up to the stereotypes of rap music (music about money, sex, and drugs).
