Today we bring you some of the best trap phrases that have been written in recent times in Spanish. Trap music has become the undisputed queen of the moment. All pop singers want to have collaborations with trap artists when they are not switching to this style of urban music.
Rhythms that speed up classic hip hop and R&B and, because they don't have as much history as these genres, have much more room for innovation and their ability to merge with other genres like reggaeton are some of the reasons for their success. But so are their lyrics: the street, drugs, and sexual relationships are an essential pillar of this style.
However, there is room for reflections on life and death, romantic relationships, or the passage of time. We leave you with 15 trap phrases that will surprise you if you don't know this genre.
The best trap phrases in Spanish
Bad Bunny, C. Tangana, and a lot of Yung Beef, among other surprises,…
1. The street is bad, it needs medication. (Yung Beef)
We start our review of some of the best trap phrases with Yung Beef and his "Ready pa' Morir." One of his most heartbreaking and recognized songs. So much so that the Spanish indie group Los Planetas made an unbelievable version called "Islamabad." Yung Beef, who grew up on the street, recognizes it as sick and calls for a way out.

2. Tell me you don't want to pay like this: without knowing how much you spent. (C. Tangana)
C. Tangana has tried to move away from the term trap to refer to his music, and while it's true that the song that includes this phrase, "Intoxicao," is not strictly trap, it deserved to be included in this compilation. It speaks for itself.

3. Sorry if tonight I've been fantastic, but tomorrow I'll wake up unfriendly. Sorry for not having an attic, for making you leave so quickly. (Dellafuente)
The Granada native Dellafuente, who mixes rap and trap with influences from other music like flamenco, became known to the general public with "Consentía." This song starts with one of the best trap phrases we've heard.

4. In your eyes, I see the end of the world, when I look at you I am speechless, I want to see your naked body, hang myself, for you to tie the knot. (Yung Beef)
We return with Yung Beef. This time with his song "Ducati Luv" alongside Somadamantina, one of the pioneers of trap in Spain. All the phrases in this song could be among the best trap song phrases in Spanish. We choose this one for the power of its images. Who hasn't felt like this at some point?

5. I know I've committed some sins, I don't know if I'll ever forgive myself. My soul never wears white… (Cecilio G.)
Cecilio G was one of the first in Spain to see that the trap sound had a lot to say. After going through a difficult period in which it is said he was recovering from certain mental problems, he returned with "From Darkness With Love," a song in which he asked for forgiveness for his mistakes and which is our favorite of all his.

6. My face big everywhere, my salvation and also my punishment. My cross, my heaven, everything I curse. (Sticky M.A.)
Agorazein, or AGZ for friends, is the name of the collective of C. Tangana and Sticky M.A. among others. In their 2016 album, "Siempre," "Planes" is included, a two-voice song that closes with this reflection on fame by Sticky. To say that unbelievable phrases can't be found.

7. I destroy myself in each of these works, when I write it, when I record it, but it costs me a lot, a lot, a lot. (Gata Cattana)

GATA CATTANA - BANZAI
8. The muses don't have to be liked or disliked. (Yung Beef)
Yung Beef is recognized as the true number 1 of trap in Spain. And it shows with phrases like this. At the beginning of his song "EFFY," included in "ADROMICFMS 4," his masterpiece, he doesn't even have to start singing to leave us with this phrase that will surely give you a lot to think about.

9. Because I just wanted to get you out of me, I know this life is not made for you. (Sticky M.A.)

10. My mom wanted me to be an engineer, dad wanted a baseball player, my second-grade teacher told me to be a firefighter… nah! I'm going to do what I want. (Bad Bunny)
Bad Bunny is one of the stars of the moment. He released his first album "X100pre" at Christmas by surprise and left us with claims like this in his song "Ser Bichote," where he encourages us to follow our dreams without letting anyone convince us otherwise.

11. I eat twice because I eat quietly. (Yung Beef)
A life lesson from Yung Beef in the form of a trap phrase. Dedicated especially to all those who talk a lot about everything they do but then do nothing. From "Papasito Bars."

12. I go up to the purest spring to fill my jug, and those foxes want a sip but not to carry it, and I, as always, break my back. (Bejo)

13. Sometimes the nights become a martyrdom, like our love that became a delirium. My soul is at war, it's Syrian territory, the wine bottles remain in glass. (Bad Bunny)
We are heading into the final stretch of this review of the best trap song phrases with Bad Bunny. There are many who criticize reggaeton and trap, but they will surely find few phrases as eloquent as this one to talk about heartbreak. The song is called "NI BIEN NI MAL," and it's the first of his first album.

14. It's not about having a good product, it's about knowing how to sell it. (Dellafuente)
We close our list with another phrase from Dellafuente, from his song "Marketing," in which he leaves us with other phrases like "Life is pure marketing and temptations, fashion only makes us the same." The Spanish artist knows that in today's society, it's as important to do well what you do as it is to communicate and sell it well.
