Pop the Trunk

About Pop the Trunk

"Pop the Trunk" is a song by American rapper Yelawolf from his mixtape Trunk Muzik 0-60. It was originally released, with a music video, on July 27, 2010 as a single to promote his previous mixtape Trunk Muzik; and has since been re-released as the lead single in Yelawolf's EP Trunk Muzik 0-60. The reason this particular song was chosen to be included on his official release was because he wanted to include 5 "fan favorites" in addition to 7 new songs, as this track is indeed one of—if not the—most well-known song by Yelawolf to date. The song's concept revolves around life in Gadsden, Alabama and the environment that the artist grew up in, as Yelawolf is essentially just describing his surroundings and different events he's witnessed. Yelawolf described in an interview that this track was actually the first one he wrote for Trunk Muzik, and the first verse was basically a nod to his stepfather that raised him. The title of the song refers to a popular slang term which involves retrieving a firearm from the trunk of one's automobile. more »
