‘Cause Remy Boyz are nuttin’, Re-Re-Remy Boyz are nuttin23
Interpretation
“Trap Queen” is about hanging out with your cute girlfriend and having fun. “I get high with my
baby” is not difficult to interpret. But if you don’t understand a few key words, the rest of the
song is mysterious.
The first essential term is “trap”. In essence, a trap is a place where drug dealers hang out and
conduct their business. When it comes to music, the definition is more nebulous. According to
David Drake on Complex:
“The genre [of trap music] was created by rappers like T.I., Young Jeezy, and Gucci Mane, who
were referencing a life of drug-dealing, and producers like DJ Toomp, Shawty Redd and Lex
Luger, whose aggressive production framed the intensely dark subject matter.”
“[T] he original meanings of ‘trap’ in a hip -hop context are difficult to nail down
because the term has always hinted at multiple meanings. It is, in a literal sense,
the place where drugs are sold, but could also imply something about the mentality
of the people working there, or the nature of the work itself, or the hopelessness
that propels people into those situations.”
In order to really get “Trap Queen”, you need a little familiarity with drug culture, particularly
the kind of drug culture that develops in urban minority-majority areas where there aren’t a lot of
other opportunities to make money. The most telling verse goes like this:
“You ain’t never seen me in a trap, befo’.

You ain’t never seen me strapped, runnin’ from the po’.
My family had been destroyed by the crack, so,
don’t see how I could glorify it in a rap, though,
I do love crack raps; slap it in my car,
rollin’ through the Dirty Thirties tryna look hard.”
Diggs asserts that he’s not mixed up with drugs, however much he talks about them. Fetty Wap
is the opposite. Interviewer John Kennedy asked who qualifies as a trap queen, and Fetty Wap
said:
“She gotta know how to cook. She gotta know how to wrap them things and send
them things. […] As long as she ain’t gonna rat you out and she’s gonna hold you
down, she ain’t gotta necessarily do no bid for you, because if you’re a man, you
gonna do that bid for yourself. […] My whole thing is loyalty.”
“Bid” means prison time. Fetty Wap also told Angel Diaz of Complex, when asked what inspired
the track, “Honestly, being in the trap. I was just dealing with somebody at the time, and she was
holding me down.”
When Fetty Wap says that his girl needs to be a good cook, he’s not talking about flipping
pancakes. Same goes for the lines “Married to the money; introduced her to my stove” and “I be
in the kitchen cookin’ pies with my baby” — in this case a pie is a kilogram of coke. Not coke
like Coca Cola. The other kind.
Note: Rachel Otis mentioned on Facebook that “he says he’s going to ‘cook her a pie’ but in the
video, the womyn is doing the damn baking!” Good point! Ugh, men.
The rest of “Trap Queen” is about livin’ large and livin’ it up, throwing cash at the strip club and
cruising in a Lamborghini or a Ferrari. This hides the real poignancy of the song.
“Trap Queen” isn’t just another party track. It’s about a Millennial couple’s economic
partnership.
They make money together and they spend money together. Fetty Wap and his trap queen are a
team! Most people don’t want to sell drugs, but almost all of us can relate to the desire for a solid
dude/lady/whoever. Someone you can count on emotionally and practically.

“Trap Queen” by Fetty Wap

I’m like “hey, what’s up, hello”
I just wanna chill, got a sack for us to roll
Married to the money, introduced her to my stove
A stunning woman has caught this fellow’s eye, and he immediately wants to introduce her to his
stove. He must’ve had a mother who prepared home-cooked meals for him on the daily, and
equates this act of service to love. But why assume that she cannot cook? And does he really
mean the stove that’s in the kitchen? Perhaps he’s referring to his mind, where all the great ideas,
and poetry, are really baked.
And I get high with my baby (baby)
And I can ride with my baby (baby)
I do agree that it’s important to “get fly” with your significant other; it’s easy to “let yourself go”
and to stop caring about how you look. This man is not only trying to keep them both on top of
their game; he’s also helping out in the kitchen. He’s fitted, and a feminist. I like this.
I hit the strip with my trap queen ‘cause all we know is bands
I just might snatch up a ‘Rari and buy my boo a ‘Lamb
I might just snatch her necklace, drop a couple on a ring
She ain’t want it for nothin’ because I got her everything*
Wow, not only is he generous — he’s also cultured. Heading to Vegas to listen to live music with
his lady?
I don’t know why my dad complains about today’s “jungle music”. If all boys would learn from
these distinguished gentlemen, we’d have some pleased, well-treated women, after all.
