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).
Forbidden Fruit
Action Bronson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pour you a little more wine, I see your glass low
Scared of a real man, from dealing with these assholes
Just drink ya wine and then will step up in the bath, slow
Soak your body, cause its begging for a loving touch
Light the candle, and I'ma light another Dutch
Then we slip into a place that's only you & me
Put it deep, like the bottom of the bluest sea
Always got ya hair down, rockin' your jewelry
Killing these other bitches, word, reading their eulogy'
Hips insane
The pussy? Foolery
At the end of the day baby it's you and me
At the end of the day honey it's you and me
Just you and me
The lyrics of Action Bronson's song Forbidden Fruit depict a sensual and romantic encounter between the rapper and a woman. As he enters the room, he sees her in her bathrobe and notices that her wine glass is low, so he pours her some more. The woman seems hesitant, possibly because of past negative experiences with men, and Bronson assures her that he is a "real man" and urges her to relax in the bath while he joins her, taking his time to tenderly touch her body.
He suggests they light some candles and smoke together, creating an intimate atmosphere for just the two of them. As they become more intimate, he praises her beauty and confidence, noting that she wears her hair down and rocks her jewelry with style. In contrast to other women who seem to pale in comparison to her, he considers her the "forbidden fruit," something special and worth savoring.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the exclusivity of their relationship, as it is only "you and me" at the end of the day. The song conveys a sense of longing and desire, as well as a desire for human connection on a deeper level.
