Meaning of “Tse Chi Lop” by Freeze Corleone
In the song “Tse Chi Lop” by Freeze Corleone, the artist drops a series of lines laden with references to popular culture, both past and present, mixed with street language and his own personal glossary. He touches upon various themes including ambition, depicted through his aspiration to earn billions like Tse Chi Lop, a notorious drug lord, and mastery of craft, hinting at his prowess and control, likened to piloting a ship.
The phrase “PDM pour Pierre Palmade” is a nod to the French comedian Pierre Palmade and seems to be a coded way to speak about drug deals, connecting it to techniques from Germany or from Mohammed bin Salman, adding a geopolitical touch to the verse.
Freeze incorporates various references to pop culture icons like Sephiroth, a character from Final Fantasy, and Severus from the Harry Potter series, intertwining them with his narrative to create a dense fabric of imagery.
In a deeper dive into his world, he paints himself as a connoisseur of the finer things, sipping tea and surrounded by luxury, yet entrenched in conspiratorial circles, a theme mirrored with a shoutout to Jacques Attali, a prominent French economic and social theorist.
The artist portrays a gritty scene of hustling and maneuvering through the underworld, bringing to life his individuality and hardcore approach to his craft, “J’écoute pas AC/DC, j’continue jusqu’à qu’il y ait assez d’décès”.
There’s a constant interplay between self-aggrandizement and the darker undertones of the street life, coupled with references to sports and other pop culture elements, including a line where he compares himself to the boxer Mayweather, known for his skill and undefeated record, emphasizing his prowess and unbeatable nature in the rap game. The outro echoes the hook, emphasizing his ambition to achieve great wealth through whatever means necessary.
“PDM pour Pierre Palmade
Si possible avec des techniques qui viennent d’Allemagne, ou d’chez Mohammed ben Salmane
Dans l’vaisseau, elle sait qu’j’pilote (Sait qu’j’pilote)
Faut les milliards par an comme Tse Chi Lop”
