Tiempos

Farruko's song 'Tiempos' is a vibrant homage to the golden era of reggaeton, particularly the early 2000s, a time when the genre was heavily influenced by artists like Héctor 'El Father'. The lyrics are a nostalgic reflection on the past, celebrating the raw and unfiltered energy of the reggaeton scene. Farruko paints a picture of the nightlife, filled with fearless revelers, loud music, and a sense of camaraderie among those who live for the night. The repeated references to 'perreo del duro' and 'los tiempos de Héctor' emphasize a longing for the days when reggaeton was more underground and rebellious.

The song is rich with cultural references and metaphors that highlight the gritty and unapologetic nature of the reggaeton lifestyle. Phrases like 'las gatitas sueltas, los ganster sueltos' and 'rompe discotecas' evoke images of wild parties and a carefree attitude. Farruko's mention of 'fulle' and 'fuletazo' adds a layer of street credibility, suggesting a readiness to defend one's honor and territory. This is further underscored by the line 'sin miedo a la calle', which translates to 'without fear of the streets', indicating a bold and fearless approach to life.

'Tiempos' also serves as a tribute to the pioneers of reggaeton, acknowledging their influence and the legacy they left behind. The song's energetic beat and catchy chorus are reminiscent of the classic reggaeton sound, making it a fitting homage to the genre's roots. Farruko's collaboration with other artists and producers, such as Musy, Manny, and Benny, further cements the song's connection to the reggaeton community. The closing lines, which reference Mayweather and the 'escuadrón del pánico', add a touch of bravado and confidence, reinforcing the song's themes of resilience and pride in one's heritage.
