Remarks:
This song is what is currently ringing in my head. It features Cardi B (New York), Bad Bunny (Puerto Rico), and J Balvin (Colombia). The Wikipedia classifies it as Latin trap.
This song went to #1 in the US on both the pop and R&B chart (in July 2018), #3 across the Anglosphere (weighted average), and is still #12 worldwide. It makes Cardi B, “hotter than a Somali”, the first female rapper ever to have two #1 hits on the US pop chart.
It heavily samples “I Like It Like That” (1967) by Pete Rodriguez (New York). That song was covered in 1994 by the Blackout All-Stars and in 1997 by Tito Nieves, but is probably best known in the US from a 1996 Burger King ad.

Lyrics:
Yeah baby, I like it like that
You gotta believe me when I tell you
I said I like it like that
You gotta believe me when I tell you
I said I like it like
Now I like dollars, I like diamonds, I like stunting, I like shining
I like million dollar deals, where’s my pen? Bitch I’m signin’
I like those Balenciagas, the ones that look like socks
I like going to the jeweller, I put rocks all in my watch
I like texts from my exes when they want a second chance
I like proving niggas wrong, I do what they say I can’t
They call me Cardi Bardi, banging body
Spicy mami, hot tamale
Hotter than a Somali, fur coat, Ferrari
Hop out the stu’, jump in the coupe (the coupe)
They trippin’ on top of the roof
Flexing on bitches as hard as I can
Eating halal, driving the Lam’
Told that bitch I’m sorry though
‘Bout my coins like Mario (Mario)
Yeah they call me Cardi B, I run this shit like cardio
Oh, damn
Certified, know I’m gang, gang, gang, gang (I said I like it like–)
Drop the top and blow the brains (I said I like it like that)
Oh he’s so handsome, what’s his name? (I said I like it)
Oh I need the dollars (I said I like it like that)
Beat it up like piñatas (I said I like it like–)
Tell the driver, close the curtains (I said I like it like that)
Bad bitch make him nervous (I said I like it)
Cardi B
Chambean, chambean, pero no jalan (¡jalan!)
Tú compras to’a las Jordan, bobo, a mí me las regalan (jejeje)
I spend in the club (wuh), what you have in the bank (yeh)
This is the new religion, bang, en Latino gang, gang, yeh
Trato de hacer dieta (yeh), pero es que en el closet tengo mucha grasa (wuh)
Ya mude la Gucci pa’ dentro de casa, yeh (¡wuh!)
Cabrón, a ti no te conocen ni en Plaza (no)
El Diablo me llama pero Jesucristo me abraza (amén)
Guerrero como Eddie, que viva la raza, yeh
Me gustan boricuas, me gustan cubanas
Me gusta el acento de las colombianas (¿qué hubo pues?)
Como mueve el culo la dominicana (¿qué lo que?)
Lo rico que me chingan las venezolanas (¡wuh!)
Andamos activos, Perico Pin Pin (woo)
Billetes de cien en el maletín (ching)
Que retumbe el bajo, Bobby Valentin, yeh (boo)
Aquí es prohibido amar, diles Charytín
Que pa’l picor les tengo Claritin
Yo llego a la disco y se forma el motín (rrr)[Cardi B:]
Diamond district in the Jag (I said I like it like that)

Bad bitch make you nervous (I said I like it)
[J Balvin:]
Como Celia Cruz tengo el azúcar (azúca’)
Tu jeva me vio y se fue de pecho como Jimmy Snuka (ah)
Te vamos a tumbar la peluca
Y arranca pa’l carajo cabrón, que a ti no te vo’a pasar la hookah (hookah, hookah)
Mis tenis Balenciaga, me reciben en la entrada (woo)
Pa-pa-pa-pa-razzi, like I’m Lady Gaga (woo)
Y no te me hagas (ey)
Que en cover de Billboard tú has visto mi cara (ey)
No salgo de tu mente
Donde quieras que viajes has escuchado “Mi Gente”
Yo no soy high (high), soy como el Testarossa (‘rossa)
Yo soy el que se la vive y también el que la goza (goza, goza)
Es la cosa, mami es la cosa (cosa, cosa)
El que mira sufre y el que toca goza (goza, goza)
[J Balvin (Cardi B):]

To my taste, the Hispanic Heritage Month could have started much better than with that jodido trío. Even the Columbian Spanish doesn’t save the scene. Let’s see what the Cuban accent can do.

Así como llegas te vas, Bombón
Bonita hora que te da por llorar
Llórate esto, llora este dolor
Dolores vienen y van pero no el amor
Te vienes encima de mi vida, Bombón
Bonita manera de llegar
Llegarás a ver tu boca crecer
Crecerán las mentiras que me das
Y algo sí que me supiste dar
Darme en la cabeza que ya está hinchá
Hincha del planeta, hincha del sol
Soltarme las riendas de aquí me largo yo
Y hoy el teléfono no es ring – ring
Y mi corazón no da ton – ton
Y mis pasos no tienen son – son
Ya no eres mi Bom – Bon – Bombón
El teléfono, teléfono no es ring – ring
Y mi corazón no da ton – ton

Ya no eres mi Bom – Bon, Bombón

Crecerán las mentiras que me das

Darme en la cabeza que ya est hinchá
Hincha del planeta, hincha del sol
Soltame las riendas, de aqu me largo yo
Y hoy el teléfono no es ring – ring

I’m not the hugest fan of trap, because it seems to be sadly lacking in bass, one of the best features of hip-hop in my opinion. That being said, this particular song is pretty catchy. I like a handful of other trap songs as well, such as “iSpy” by Kyle and Lil Yachty (Abagond would appreciate the Black mermaid) and Act Right by Yo Gotti, Jeezy, and YG. Also, I do appreciate Cardi’s perpetual enthusiasm for life, even if she isn’t always the brightest or the classiest.
For those who enjoy Latin-influenced hip hop, I recommend “Can’t Get Enough” by J. Cole and Trey Songz.
