About

2 Chopper 200 Shots Bang is a line taken from the Kendrick Lamar song "Swimming Pools." The line, which is used by Kendrick in the middle of the song, has gone viral on the TikTok platform following its upload in late 2023, with a primary focus being on using it as a background song to show glow ups or other transformations.

Origin

The song Swimming Pools was released as the ninth track on his album good kid, m.A.A.d city in 2012. The song was uploaded to TikTok on September 5th, 2023, by the TikToker[1] glcwaudio, who uploaded 17 seconds from the post-chorus bridge on top of the lyrics for that section. The TikTok quickly went viral, earning over 311,000 likes in four months and receiving a CapCut video template (shown below).

Spread

The song slowly spread across TikTok, with it becoming more viral in late 2023 after a wave of TikTokers began to use it in multiple viral examples. On November 22nd, 2023, the TikToker[2] leonardo_dionicio uploaded him using it to do a "thirst trap" involving his hair getting braided, earning over 490,000 likes in two months and showing the primary way to use the audio (shown below).

After several weeks, the trend of using the song to show glow-ups started to change. Whereas many TikTokers would use the song to show how they've changed from when they were younger, others began to notice and call out this trend. The most viral example of this pushback was uploaded to TikTok on December 24th, 2023, from the TikToker yoursafepla.ce[3] who noted that people are posting their 'glow ups' but it's just showing them as a baby growing up, earning over 1.6 million likes in two weeks (shown below).
