Tiraera Pa ' Eloy

Farruko's 'Tiraera Pa ' Eloy' is a classic example of a 'tiraera,' a diss track in the reggaeton and Latin trap genres. The song is a direct confrontation aimed at another artist, Eloy, filled with sharp insults and boasts. Farruko uses the track to assert his dominance in the music scene, calling out Eloy's perceived weaknesses and lack of authenticity. The lyrics are laced with bravado and a sense of superiority, as Farruko claims to be the favorite among newcomers and mocks Eloy's reliance on others, including his father, for success.

The song opens with a declaration of Farruko's upbringing, emphasizing that he was taught to be content with what he has and to be wary of envy and opportunism. This sets the stage for the main theme of the song: a critique of Eloy's character and career. Farruko accuses Eloy of being a 'lambon' (a sycophant) and a 'mantenido' (someone who is financially dependent on others). He ridicules Eloy's attempts to appear tough and successful, suggesting that Eloy's achievements are not his own but rather borrowed or fake.

Throughout the track, Farruko employs a mix of humor and aggression, using metaphors and direct insults to belittle Eloy. He challenges Eloy's credibility and talent, suggesting that Eloy needs others to write his songs and that even with help, he cannot surpass Farruko. The repeated refrain about being taught to be content and cautious of envy underscores the personal nature of the diss, framing it as a lesson in authenticity and self-reliance. The song concludes with shout-outs to various neighborhoods and individuals, reinforcing Farruko's connection to his roots and his community, further solidifying his position as a genuine and self-made artist.
