Influences
Action Bronson cites as major influences fellow American rappers Kool G Rap, Nas, Cam'ron, Mobb Deep, UGK and the Wu-Tang Clan. Other artists include Michael Jackson, Carlos Santana, Queen as well as Albanian wedding singers.
Rapping style
Bronson frequently raps about food in his songs. He is also well known for his frequent, and often obscure, allusions to athletes and sports teams. Bronson's lyrics often make reference to sports in New York City but also touch on more obscure subjects such as professional wrestlers, bodybuilders, figure skating and sports betting.
Early in his career, Bronson gained recognition for lyrically and stylistically resembling fellow New York rapper Ghostface Killah of Wu-Tang Clan (with whom he collaborated, along with friend and fellow rapper Termanology, on a song called "Meteor Hammer", from the 2011 compilation album Legendary Weapons). Ghostface Killah himself has admitted to confusing Bronson's rapping for his own. In a 2011 interview with HipHopDX, Bronson was asked about how it was to be compared to the Wu-Tang rapper, and he responded with,
Yeah, I mean at the end of the day, it's all good because Ghostface Killah is one of the best rappers alive, so if I sound similar to the best rapper alive then that is fine. To me there is no comparison; he is a legend and I am a newcomer. If I would try and emulate with anyone it would be Kool G Rap, he is the person I look up to the most. I am not upset but at the end of the day I am my own person and no one can take that away from me.
Personal life
Bronson has two children with a former girlfriend. Bronson's current girlfriend gave birth to a son in November 2019.
During the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, Bronson documented his weight loss journey using a combination of diet change and high-intensity interval training. To date he has lost 127 pounds (58 kg).
Bag Of Money
Action Bronson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yo, fucking Paulie Trybe, man
Get your muthafucking hand out her asshole
We gotta go, fam', we gotta go, kid
Yo, get the whip, get the whip!
I'll take 21st Century poets that's for a thousand
To the point I wanna gamble it all
I was smashing from the back
She put her hands on the wall
She couldn't take the thrust
Only lust like a fiend for the dust
Or the pizza from Pezzi, perfect
Want to sleep with the crust
Or the 740 Alpina, leather seats is a must
And my shorty holding a nina
Rolling green in a dutch!
Bronsolini, organically I rise to paper
In the purest form, lyrically derived from nature
Like the Amazon, put your cameras on
Watch this muthafucka turn into an animal!
Light stubble, rock the muzzle like Hannibal
Jump off the top of the boat into a cannonball
Hoes with gold teeth, we off the coast of Greece
In under 3 seconds, muthafucka load the piece
Kid, the bag of money coming with me
You muthafucka
The bag of money coming with me
Yeah, the bag of money's coming with me
Muthafucka you
Surprise! Lauren is in the house
I eat fowl birds and keep a hen inside my mouth
Always extra, guest featuring with Dr. Lecter
Like Bald Head Slick, I hold my mic like a scepter
Rest in peace, Guru, son I rep Q-U
Chains on chunk
They looking at me like "who you?!"
These handmade Cubans probably fucking up my posture
Pesto sauce properly drizzled upon my pasta
No imposter, son I'm authentic
Around drugs so much, I'm probably raw scented
Bag of money dips, triceps is all dented
Precise painting pictures
Think about life and then I pen it
Nike Air extraordinaire, it’s a cold world, prepare
That’s what it is, dad
Winterize your vehicle
I love kicks like Action Bronson loves a reefer pull
Peace to good, bad girls that let us both sleep with you
The bag of bitches coming with me
Word up, son, all the bitches coming with me
Yeah, yo, the bag of bitches coming with me
We go raw son, all the bitches coming with me!
We making babies tonight, nigga
Yeah, smoke what you want, sniff what you want
You wanna have five daddies, you ever have five daddies before?
Ayo, 2010, got ‘em buzzing like a beeper
Round table discussion
Conference in Geneva
Leaders at the table, poly over nasal
Forty seven minutes since the time I lit the basil
My rhymes are carte blanche
Liver than the Oscars
Extra virgin olive oil drizzled on the pasta
Fry the bacon, make it sizzle for the chazers
Honor in this thing of ours
Living like the mobsters
Compliments go to the chef and that’s the real
My crew of goonies in the joint
We need some extra veal
You know the Caddy got an extra wheel
And if I’m ever in a pickle, I can hand a fucking Tek to Steele
Take aim and knock an apple off your head
And I’m a play like Polamalu
You get tackled for the bread
We’re running in your crib
Your shorty shackled to the bed
Money laying on the Persian
Leaking plasma from the lead
And it’s on!
The bag of money’s coming with me, muthafucka
(It’s all coming with us, nah I mean?
Outdoorsmen!)
Queens, kid, the bag of money’s coming with me
Uptown connection, you fucking pussy
(Word up, man, It’s all marvel
Y'all niggas know everything is marvel)
Bronsonlini, Bronsolovski, Team Facelift
(Everything we drink, everything we smoke
Everything we buy, everything we sell
It’s all marvel!)
My muthafucking man Shaz
Paulie Trybe, Paulie Walnuts
(Action Marvel, Meyhem Marvel, nah I mean?)
Machine, Fonda, Tommy Guns
(Tommy Marvel, Marvel is everybody’s middle name we fuck with
Meyhem Marvel Lauren, it’s all marvel
The bag of money’s coming with us)
"Bag of Money" by Action Bronson is a song that is overflowing with braggadocio and rhyme schemes. The song is a display of the rapper’s lyrical prowess, improvisational style, and vivid storytelling. The song begins with a heated conversation between two individuals that is not entirely clear, but it sets the tone for the rest of the track. Bronson then goes on to talk about his love for curly-haired and Nubian women and how they make him aroused. The rapper proceeds to talk about his expensive tastes, which include fine dining and exotic cars. He boasts about his ability to rise to paper organically in purest form.
One of the most notable parts of the song is when Bronson declares that the "bag of money's coming with me." It is a statement of his wealth, success and how he is destined to go after what he wants. Bronson also references other rappers and his love for kickboxing in the song. Lauren, another rapper, is featured, and she brings a different perspective and energy to the track. Bronson talks about his love for Italian food and his experiences with drugs. He boasts about the skills of his crew, who can break into people's homes, and he seems to relish in the feeling of being a gangster.
In conclusion, "Bag of Money" is a typical Action Bronson song that showcases his lyrical prowess and his love for drugs, women, fine food, and material possessions. The track is more of a display of his skills as a rapper than a narrative or a story, but Action Bronson makes it work with all of his intricate rhyme schemes and punchlines.
