The Swagger of Success: DUKI's 'Rockstar' Dissected

DUKI's 'Rockstar' is a brash declaration of success and the lifestyle that comes with it. The Argentine rapper, known for his role in popularizing Latin trap, uses the song to paint a picture of his rise to fame and the trappings of his new life. The lyrics oscillate between self-assurance and the external perceptions of his persona, suggesting a complex relationship with his public image.

The repeated lines 'Me queda bien' translate to 'It suits me well,' implying that DUKI is comfortable with the rumors and the image that others project onto him. He embraces the narrative of being 'the same as always,' despite the fame and the changes it has brought. The song's chorus, with its repeated assertion 'I'm a rockstar,' is a nod to the excess and hedonism often associated with rock music's most iconic figures. DUKI equates his lifestyle with that of a rockstar, indulging in women and pills, a metaphor for the excesses that come with fame. However, this could also be a critique of the superficial aspects of celebrity culture, where such behavior is glamorized.

The verses delve deeper into DUKI's personal journey, referencing his roots and the contrast between his past life and his current status. He sees himself as the Michael Jordan of his league, a reference to being the best in his field. The mention of 'Liga Italia, serie A, Nini Icardi, buena vida' connects his success to that of high-profile footballers, suggesting a life of luxury and recognition. The song is a complex mix of pride in his achievements and a reflection on the nature of fame, with DUKI positioning himself as a figure who has mastered the game and now lives by his own rules.
