It sounded fire, so I was like, ‘I’m gonna lead with that sh*t.’ And that sh*t really started going crazy.” As you can see, he studied astrophysics at Harvard*, not English. There are plenty of players that ball out harder than Derrick Rose, but to quote Pump, “ I just made that ‘D Rose’ song ‘cause it sounded fire. And when Pump himself tries his hand at producing a track, you end up with “D Rose,” a song consisting of overblown bass, poor recording quality, and a reference that’s doesn’t really hold up. On tracks where the production is more one-dimensional, such as “Gucci Gang,” you are left with a 17-year-old kid chanting “Gucci Gang” to himself twelve times in a row if you include ad-libs (yes…I counted).

When it is good, Pump’s mindless lyrics blend into a fun trap song. Lil Pump uses the production as a bit of a crutch, and that can come back to bite him. Two Chainz delivers another typical verse on “Iced Out,” his bars about overloaded pockets and clever(ish) wordplay about a 12 gauge (“get it, a low gauge shotgun, a little pump”) mesh well with the rest of the album’s deep hidden meanings. Lil Yachty sounds at home and comes in with a fun verse on the tail end of “Back,” making it one of my favorite tracks off of the tape. The production also does a great job at accommodating the various features that Pump brings together for the project. Over the fun beats, Lil Pump’s lack of lyricism becomes less apparent when you’re vibing along to the melodies. Lil Pump boasts fun production from Big Head, TM88, Ronny J, and Mr. There has been a lot of debate over the amount of credit given to producers, and everyone who helped produce this album deserves a lot. Pump’s lyrics dance around the same three topics: women, drugs (selling or using), and his expensive taste in cars and clothing.ĭespite the depth of lyrics that rival the poetry of Shakespeare, what draws people toward SoundCloud rappers like Lil Pump is the production supporting them. In “Gucci Gang,” “D Rose”, and “Crazy,” this is very apparent, and in his verses, the content is always the same. Every hook is very repetitive: Pump often finds himself restating the same line. The album only reaches 35 minutes with 15 whole tracks. Every track on the album is under two and a half minutes with the exception of songs that have features, (the longest of which is still only three minutes and 19 seconds). Truth be told, Lil Pump is not saying very much.

By not taking himself too seriously, he gives himself some free promotion and resonates with a younger audience. He is best known for his abuse of Xanax (xans), his attraction to Miranda Cosgrove’s character “Carly” from the hit Nickelodeon show, iCarly, and of course his famous catchphrase, “Esketit!” (I think he’s supposed to be saying “Let’s get it”). Meme rappers are known for promoting their music and brand through internet culture and social media. Lil Pump is one of the most prominent meme rappers.

All of these rappers have gained a lot of attention recently, especially the first three who have been featured on hip-hop magazine “ XXL ’s” freshman class in the past two years. Lil Pump is also another one of the Floridian rappers to rise to fame recently, following names such as Denzel Curry, Kodak Black, XXXTentacion, Ski Mask the Slump God, and Smokepurpp, who is featured on the mixtape multiple times. Despite being predominantly used by amateur artists, SoundCloud is the first step for many in breaking into the mainstream and has given rise to many musicians who are now household names. Lil Pump is the Florida rapper who has made a name for himself off of his hit singles “D Rose” and “Gucci Gang” that first garnered attention on the popular streaming service, SoundCloud.
