In September 2017, Arslani published his first book, based on his travel show, a cookbook, also entitled Fuck, That's Delicious.
Arslani has also released several mixtapes, such as Rare Chandeliers (2012), with American hip-hop producer The Alchemist and Blue Chips 2 (2013) with longtime producer Party Supplies, before releasing his major label debut, an extended play (EP) titled Saaab Stories, with frequent collaborator Harry Fraud, in 2013. He released his major label debut album, Mr. Wonderful, on March 23, 2015.
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).
Triple Backflip
Action Bronson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lost my money at the tables, but I got it back in Cee-lo
I'm trying to have the bank account with all the zeros
Rolling Camaros, Jose Canseco was my hero
Swing the bat like I swing the 'Lac
Snap my fingers and they bring the crab
Wave my hand and they bring the bag
For your body motherfucker cause you old news
Ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri- rip your dick off
Ah uh! Motherfucker I'm a sicko
Fucko, amethyst on the knuckle
On the arm something Spanish with a bubble
Uh, it's big trouble in Little China
All of the china hidden inside of a big vagina
Uh, I'll pile drive her through the bed
Hit the strip, get my motherfucking bread, don't you say a word, bitch
I need the gators just to match the vest
Have my apprentice put the stainless to a bastard's chest
Come out the sweatsuit
Do a triple back flip into the red coupe
Skrrt, we out
Come, hold my dick while I take a piss
Shake it off, put it back in my boxer shorts
Ride in the drop top lobster Porsche
Inside the joint I got some pasta sauce
Uh, stalking the street, just to put the fork in the beef
Coffins are cheap, seats are very soft in the Jeep
The lights hit me at the club, my skin was like a chicken
And now my leather to the ankle by my Pippen
This feels crazy and I hoping I don't blow it
That goes to show I'm still a human under all this glow
Needless to say I'm exceeding while you pussies bleeding
I guess your wake was not in season
Breezing
Uh, it's big trouble in Little China
All of the china hidden inside of a big vagina
Uh, I'll pile drive her through the bed
Hit the strip, get my motherfucking bread, don't you say a word, bitch
I need the gators just to match the vest
Have my apprentice put the stainless to a bastard's chest
Come out the sweatsuit
Do a triple back flip into the red coupe
Skrrt, we out
In the opening lines of the song "Triple Backflip," Action Bronson talks about his lifestyle and what he is hoping to achieve. "Peel the top off the can of Pellegrino/Lost my money at the tables, but I got it back in Cee-lo/I'm trying to have the bank account with all the zeros" refers to his desire for excessive wealth and the risk he takes to achieve it, including gambling and losing, but eventually winning big. In addition, he references baseball player Jose Canseco as his hero, which could be seen as a nod to his own ambition and goals in life.
The next stanza begins with Action Bronson comparing the way he handles his car to the way he handles his weed. He calls for his weed like a snap of his fingers or wave of his hand, but also has the ability to do the same with other pleasures in life, such as a "bag" meant for an opponent in a fight. He believes himself to be ahead of the game and above his opponents, referring to them as old news, as he skips away in "boat shoes."
The verses that follow continue to describe his extravagant lifestyle, bragging about his material possessions and his sexual prowess. He even refers to himself as a "sicko" and a "fucko" in his desire to be seen as a rebel or outlaw. The song as a whole can be seen as an exaggerated, tongue-in-cheek account of Action Bronson's over-the-top lifestyle and his confidence in his own abilities.
Line by Line Meaning
Peel the top off the can of Pellegrino
Opening up my luxury sparkling water
Lost my money at the tables, but I got it back in Cee-lo
Gambled and won big playing dice games
I'm trying to have the bank account with all the zeros
Striving for a huge amount of money in the bank account
Rolling Camaros, Jose Canseco was my hero
Cruising in Chevy Camaros, looking up to baseball player Jose Canseco
Swing the bat like I swing the 'Lac
Swinging the car like a bat while driving recklessly
Snap my fingers and they bring the crab
Being so wealthy that people will do anything for you
Wave my hand and they bring the bag
Having people fetch things for you easily
For your body motherfucker cause you old news
Showing off wealth and putting down haters
And then you see me fucking skip away in boat shoes
Walking away confidently with my expensive boat shoes
Ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri- rip your dick off
Threatening violence against those who oppose me
Ah uh! Motherfucker I'm a sicko
Acknowledging my craziness and dangerous behavior
Fucko, amethyst on the knuckle
Wearing expensive jewelry
On the arm something Spanish with a bubble
Also wearing expensive Spanish jewelry
Uh, it's big trouble in Little China
Referencing the movie title while causing trouble
All of the china hidden inside of a big vagina
Making a vulgar joke about hidden valuable items
Uh, I'll pile drive her through the bed
Bringing up violent sexual fantasies
Hit the strip, get my motherfucking bread, don't you say a word, bitch
Going to earn money and threatening anyone who tries to stop me
I need the gators just to match the vest
Wearing alligator skin shoes to match my suit
Have my apprentice put the stainless to a bastard's chest
Ordering someone to commit violence on someone else
Come out the sweatsuit
Changing clothes from casual to fancy
Do a triple back flip into the red coupe
Showing off with acrobatic stunts while getting into my expensive car
Skrrt, we out
Driving away quickly
Come, hold my dick while I take a piss
Being so arrogant that I need someone to hold my penis while I urinate
Shake it off, put it back in my boxer shorts
Finishing urination and putting my penis back in my underwear
Ride in the drop top lobster Porsche
Driving an expensive Porsche convertible
Inside the joint I got some pasta sauce
Carrying expensive food with me
Uh, stalking the street, just to put the fork in the beef
Looking for trouble and provoking conflicts
Coffins are cheap, seats are very soft in the Jeep
Being reckless with my life and prioritizing comfort over safety
The lights hit me at the club, my skin was like a chicken
Attracting attention with my flashy appearance
And now my leather to the ankle by my Pippen
Wearing expensive leather clothing and shoes
This feels crazy and I hoping I don't blow it
Feeling overwhelmed with my lavish lifestyle
That goes to show I'm still a human under all this glow
Remembering that despite my wealth, I am still a person with flaws
Needless to say I'm exceeding while you pussies bleeding
Being more successful and wealthy than my haters
I guess your wake was not in season
Taking pleasure in the misfortune of others
Breezing
Going about my business with ease and confidence
