Chanteo is Puerto Rican and Caribbean rap slang for a verse, rap performance, or freestyle. In the song, Eladio asks, “¿Doscientos por un chanteo?”, referring to the price someone charged for delivering a rap verse, making this distinctive music-related word especially memorable for learners.
This is Eladio Carrión at his most smug, and it works. The hook is the whole attitude: "Hablan mucha mierda de mí porque saben que nunca los voy a mencionar" (They talk a lot of sh*t about me because they know I'll never mention them). The haters want a name-drop in a diss track, and he refuses to give them the free promo.
The flexing is packed with slang. "Dos cincuenta en el cuello" (two fifty on my neck) is an expensive chain, and flexear is Spanglish for "to flex". He is "antisocial con cojones" (seriously antisocial, a vulgar intensifier), and "to' el mundo me cae medio mal" (I kind of dislike everyone). Mi carnal is Mexican slang for "my brother", a nod to the "música regional" (Mexican regional music) his girl has him listening to. Best line: "Esto no es Dora con el mapa" (This isn't Dora with the map), meaning nobody is going to show you the way.
