Trap music started in the early 90's with acts like Three 6 Mafia and Master P bringing it to the mainstream. It consists of an aggressive-sounding structure with aggressive lyrics to match, and.. wait, this song isn't trap?
Trap queen? What the hell is a trap queen?
Oh, a badass female who doesn't take shit from others. Well, that's respectable enough! Let's hear how this song works to praise the aforementioned "trap queen".
Well, it does have a certain energy to it, which works to the song's benefit and is indicative of the trap genre. The song's mood pumps you up, which is exactly what it's supposed to do. So, how does the lyrical content hold up?
Well, the lyrics mostly end up boiling down to "look how much money I have, money money money", but at the same time, this time around they're meant for a significant other, so it does work well. This significant other is a stripper that a guy and his friends go to see, but who am I to judge? Oh, wait. That's my calling.
Honestly, even though it does sound like a lot of mainstream rap, I can't get too mad at this song for those reasons. It's sincere enough with a nice beat, and that's pretty much all you need to make it a winner these days with today's rap music. I mean... need we bring up Rae Sremmurd again?
I didn't think so. Enjoy your Fetty Wrap, everybody!
