Gangster Trippin
Fatboy Slim Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come on! We gotta dig that gangster shit!
Huh, hah, hah, ha-ha
Fuck with da women, fatboy slippy
The lyrics of "Gangster Trippin" by Fatboy Slim are an interesting commentary on the cultural fascination with the glamour and power associated with the gangster lifestyle. The repeated chants of "we gotta dig that gangster shit" suggest an acknowledgement of the widespread appeal of this type of symbolism, and the lyrics challenge the listener to accept this aspect of contemporary culture. The reference to "fucking with da women" suggests that for some people, the attraction to the gangster lifestyle is not just about fashion and attitude, but also involves a gender power dynamic in which women are objectified and controlled.
Furthermore, the use of the term "fatboy slippy" as a persona implies a sense of playful detachment from the seriousness of the issues that these lyrics touch upon. It's a reference to the stage name of the artist, and it serves as a reminder that this music is intended to be entertaining, regardless of its underlying social commentary. In this way, "Gangster Trippin" both critiques and participates in the culture it represents, a duality that is characteristic of many works of art within the genre of electronic dance music (EDM).

at my funeral there is going to be a closed casket and then it will be opened to reveal that i am not inside. instead, they will turn on the ceiling fan and my lifeless body will swing around the room while this song is playing in the background.

Ever since I first saw this video back when this tune came out in '98, now whenever I see anything presented in slow motion (explosions or otherwise), I think of this song. 😁
