Composition and lyrics
The song finds Blueface rapping in his signature offbeat flow over a beat that is described as bouncy with keys reminiscent of his song "Thotiana".[1] He boasts about his meteoric rise[2] and addresses his critics, beginning with the chorus, "Stop cappin'! I'm really poppin' / How can I slip if I'm the one doing the moppin'?" The lyrics are a reference to his "mop the floor" line from the song "Respect My Cryppin'".[1][3][4][5]

Music video
The music video was directed by Aaron Greene and released on May 1, 2019. It opens with two men speaking ill of Blueface.[5][6][7] They follow him once they see him working his night job as a janitor at a local establishment in Los Angeles,[2][5][6][7] but Blueface removes the wet floor sign[2] and catches one of them slipping.[2][3] Blueface, who is wearing a bulletproof vest and Cash Money West medallion, flaunts himself in an abandoned garage as he splashes reddish-tinged water around from his bucket,[5] mops the floor,[2][3] and Crip Walks.[4] He also cruises through the streets of the city at night in a Bentley convertible with his bosses Birdman and Wack 100.[2][5][6][7]

Remix
The official remix was released on August 9, 2019 from Dirt Bag and features the Game. Mitch Findlay had a favorable reaction to the remix, commenting that "With Born To Rap on the way, 'Stop Cappin' feels like a warm-up for Game, who deftly uses the platform to talk his shit" and "While it's not exactly a groundbreaking collaboration, Game's output has been relatively rare - thus, when he does surface, it feels significant."[8]
