Linguists might argue that "Big Macky Esse e Grande" is an example of Portunhol (a mix of Spanish and Portuguese) or, more accurately, Portinglês (Portuguese + English).

The structure is uniquely Brazilian. In Portugal, you would never hear this. But in the urban zones of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, code-switching between English honorifics ("Big") and Portuguese adjectives ("Grande") is a marker of hip-hop identity.

If you search for this song, you will often see it associated with images of cows or specifically a video of a man singing to a cow.

You wouldn't say this about a pizza or a house. "Grande" refers to the essence of a person or an animal.
