SONG MEANING

Vico C enters this track like a lion returning to his jungle. With rapid‐fire wordplay, he reminds younger rappers that he has been wielding his lyrical “plomo de mi lápiz” (pencil lead) since 1983. The chorus — “Pregúntale a tu papá por mí” — is a playful way of saying, “If you do not know my name, ask your dad; he grew up listening to me.” Throughout the verse Vico compares himself to alpha animals, a pit bull and even Rocky, painting himself as the seasoned veteran who still has more stamina and sharper teeth than today’s chart toppers.

Beyond boasting, the song carries a serious message. Vico C critiques modern reggaetón’s obsession with empty flash, violence and hypersexual lyrics, pointing out how those themes can reach, and harm, young listeners. He challenges artists to use their platforms responsibly and to bring real substance instead of “letra monga” (weak lyrics). The result is a fiery declaration of artistic integrity, hip-hop authenticity and intergenerational respect, all wrapped in clever Puerto Rican slang and contagious rhythm.
