The song 'Flow Like Trudeau' by OGR-Scintilla is a braggadocious anthem where the artist compares his rapping prowess, style, and persona to the confident and charismatic image of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Through thematic references to Canadian culture, and playful boasts about becoming the greatest in Canada, OGR-Scintilla melds elements of hip-hop lyricism with national pride, humorously asserting his ambitions in both the music scene and perhaps, facetiously, in politics.
The emotional journey of 'Flow Like Trudeau' begins with an assertive attitude, implied by OGR-Scintilla's bold declarations about his rap skills and fashion sense. The initial energy is confident and brash, suggesting that the artist feels untouchable and is daring anyone to challenge him. This is reinforced by the hook, where he invites detractors to 'drop your gloves,' a hockey reference implying readiness for confrontation.
As the song progresses, OGR-Scintilla navigates through playful gloating about his lyrical ability, likening it to the way Canadians excel in hockey—dominating in the 'zone' and aiming to 'go top cheddar' to score more goals. Through these metaphors, he describes a journey of mastery and success that feels both unyielding and effortlessly cool, much like the public persona of Trudeau, renowned for his 'flow' and 'lettuce,' slang for luscious hair and a suave demeanor.
Amid this journey, there are quick jabs of humor and Canadian cultural nods, such as references to poutine and Tim Hortons, which add a light-hearted, yet prideful tone to the song. It ties the artist's individual achievements to a sense of national identity, enhancing the emotional connection with Canadian listeners who resonate with these ubiquitous symbols.
In the verse, OGR-Scintilla shifts the emotional landscape to one-upmanship and competitive spirit by describing himself as both a trendsetter in music and fashion, and a force to be reckoned with, potentially even in the political arena. This self-assurance is contrasted with lighthearted disses to his peers, where he reduces their boasts to child's play, further showcasing his unique blend of confidence, humor, and cultural homage.
