El Chapo Jr.

2 Chainz's song "El Chapo Jr." is a bold declaration of dominance in the world of trap music, drawing a parallel between himself and the infamous Mexican drug lord Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán. The repeated refrain, "I'm the king of the trap, El Chapo Jr," establishes 2 Chainz's self-proclaimed status as a powerful figure in the trap scene, much like El Chapo's reign in the drug world. This comparison is not just about illegal activities but also about the influence, wealth, and fear that both figures command.

The lyrics are filled with vivid imagery and references to luxury and excess, such as wearing Versace like it's Nike and ordering two fried lobsters at a restaurant. These lines highlight 2 Chainz's opulent lifestyle, funded by his success in the trap game. The mention of "chopper bullets flying everywhere" and a ".223 chopper clip" underscores the dangerous and violent environment that often accompanies the trap lifestyle. This juxtaposition of luxury and violence paints a picture of a world where wealth and danger coexist.

2 Chainz also touches on themes of loyalty and success, mentioning how he has helped many people and cannot afford to fall off. His desire to buy a Maybach and fill a house with stoves symbolizes his continuous pursuit of wealth and status. The line "I want a bird for my birthday, I drink syrup with no pancakes" further emphasizes his immersion in the trap culture, where a "bird" refers to a kilogram of cocaine, and drinking syrup (codeine) is a common practice. The song is a testament to 2 Chainz's rise to power and his unyielding grip on the trap scene, much like El Chapo's notorious control over his empire.
