Pepe Lopez
Action Bronson feat. Party Supplies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Guns like Wyatt Earp
Before I do business
I want to know the buyer's worth
Fast forward '98, Mark McGuire shirt
I eat dessert while your bitch flirt (Uhh)
Ship work to a Mick out in Pittsburgh
When you're focused, strict terms are never misheard
Twist Earth
Lift the Nerf
Shit, I got a lot of nerve
Catch me on the run with a Nevada nurse
Rambo knife in the Escada purse
Lestor Diamond in the face, chase
I'm in the gray 8
Restaurant, I order rabbit like a Playmate
Suede snake, crocodile silk
Barely legal Brazilian mami all on the quilt
I twist a bitch like Wilt, built
I spit the shit the people feel, uhh, yeah
Let me take it out to Coney Island, uhh
Drinking 40's out in Rockaway, uhh
Jones Beach Field 6, uhh
Out in Deer Park, peel whips, uhh
Flushing Meadow Park shit, uhh
Barbecues with the Mexicans
Get my muthafucking drink, man
Damn, this is Bam Bam
This is about to be some shit
Blue Chips 2, bitch (Owwww!!!)
We so muthafucking out here (Owwww!!!)
I wear a bib all muthafucking day
Muthafucka, you knocked my teeth out!
Hey, Sticks, come on!
The song “Pepe Lopez” by Action Bronson feat. Party Supplies is a tale about a man who made himself into a successful drug dealer through hard work, determination, and a willingness to take risks. He narrates his experiences in a nonchalant manner, using words and phrases that convey his arrogance, confidence, and disdain for those who haven't achieved as much as he has. He starts by painting a picture of himself as somebody who owns a 1989 Firebird and carries guns like Wyatt Earp. He's not interested in doing business with anyone who he doesn't think is worthy of his time, either. He mentions Mark McGuire, indicating that he's been in the game for at least 30 years.
As the song goes on, the character describes his journey across several locations, highlighting his willingness to do whatever it takes to get his product sold. He manages to evade the law, even when he's driving with a "Nevada nurse," and always seems to have a Rambo knife on him, just in case. He's cocky, calling himself "Bam Bam" and referring to unspecified people around him as "muthafuckas." All in all, the song is a portrait of someone who has built a life out of shady dealings and shady people, and who thinks he's better than everyone else because of it.

First off good music is subjective.
2nd AC/DC uses a total of like 6 chords across their entire discography.
Third idk what “manly man shouting” has to do with talent but ok lmao
And 4th, you give Kanye a Les Paul and an overdrive pedal and he’d be lost af. You plop Angus Young or Brian Johnson in front of an MPC and DAW and they’d have absolutely no clue what they’re even looking at.
Different types of music = Different types of talent.

Wish i had a blue chips 2 vinyl, or some custom artwork. What an amazing project. Raw, creative, and not forced just flowing. One of my all time favorite projects in music.
@petercasey175
Absolutely raw, one of my faves too.
I'd buy a vinyl and frame it.
@xsgrill
Would scoop a vinyl of this in a heartbeat. This and Rare Chandeliers are his two best.
