Discography:

• Lil Pump (2017)
• Harverd Dropout (2019)

Lil Pump provides examples of the following tropes:

• Broken Record:
  • Most of his songs, like "D Rose" and "Boss", repeat the same lines in the chorus.
  • "Gucci Gang" has been criticized for its repetition of the title. Taken to the extreme in this edit of the song.
• Catch Phrase: "Esketit!", as in: "Let's get that money".
• Celebrity Song: "D Rose" is named after Derrick Rose, one of the richest players in the NBA.
• Conspicuous Consumption: Lil Pump buys expensive clothes, drugs, etc. and brags about it in his songs all the time.
• Continuity Nod:
  • In "Boss", Lil Pump makes a nod to "Broke My Wrist" and "D Rose":

"I just broke my wrist
Hunnid on my wrist, can't tell me shit"

• In "Gucci Gang", he makes another nod to "D Rose":

"Hunnid on my wrist, sippin' on Tech"

• Epic Rocking:
  • "Gucci Gang Remix", with seven features in English and Spanish, including Gucci Mane and 21 Savage, is eight minutes long.
  • This fan-made megamix of "Gucci Gang" adds remixes of the song by 13 other artists, including Lil Wayne, Waka Flocka, Joyner Lucas and Bart Baker, and lasts 43 minutes.
• Memetic Mutation:
  • "Gucci Gang" became a meme shortly after its release, with video edits, mashups and covers created around the song.
  • "I Love It", with Kanye West, was made fun of online, in part because of the music video's costumes, inspired by Roblox characters.
• Reality Subtext:
  • His Take That to WestJet in "Gucci Gang". As this Genius annotation says, "In July 2017, Lil Pump was kicked off of a WestJet flight from Los Angeles to Toronto, Ontario for being too loud and disruptive."
  • In "ESSKEETIT":

"Got a new car, got a new bitch (ouu), yeah
And I got a new deal (ouu!)"

• Genius explains: "In March of 2018, Lil Pump signed a new deal with Warner Bros for roughly $8 million."

• Signature Song: "Gucci Gang"
• Take That: In "Gucci Gang":

"Fuck your airline, fuck your company (fuck it!)
[...]
They kicked me out the plane off a percocet (brr)
Now Lil Pump flyin' private jet (yuh)
Everybody scream, "Fuck WestJet" (fuck 'em)"

• Trademark Favorite Food: Lil Pump loves Fiji Water. He made a whole song named "FIJI" and mentioned the drink (as a metaphor for jewelry) in three other songs, "Boss", "Next" (featuring Rich the Kid) and "BABY DADDY" by Lil Yachty.
• A Worldwide Punomenon: In "Gucci Gang":

"Fuckin' my teacher, call it tutory"
