Dior

Pop Smoke's 'Dior' is a song that encapsulates the late rapper's signature sound and lifestyle. The lyrics are a blend of self-assuredness, luxury brand references, and street life narratives. The song's hook, which mentions high-end fashion brands like Mike Amiri and Christian Dior, reflects Pop Smoke's taste for the finer things in life and his rise to success, which allowed him to indulge in such luxuries. The repetition of these brand names serves as a status symbol and a testament to his success in the music industry.

The verses of 'Dior' delve into Pop Smoke's street credibility and the harsh realities of his environment. He talks about carrying weapons, the inevitability of violence ('we gon' send him to heaven'), and his readiness to defend himself ('always pistol packing'). These lines paint a picture of the survival mentality required in the neighborhoods he comes from. The song also touches on loyalty and remembrance of those who are incarcerated ('Free D-Nice, he doin' state time'), highlighting the importance of solidarity within his community.

Despite the heavy themes, the song has an infectious beat and a catchy chorus that made it a club favorite. The contrast between the gritty content of the verses and the danceable nature of the chorus is a hallmark of Pop Smoke's music, which often combines elements of drill music with more mainstream rap sounds. 'Dior' became an anthem that not only celebrated Pop Smoke's personal achievements but also resonated with many for its portrayal of overcoming adversity and finding success.
