\u201cOprah\u2019s Bank Account\u201d is a feat of engineering. The song and video feature two of music\u2019s biggest streaming artists: Drake<\/a> and DaBaby<\/a>. Director X \u2014 the same filmmaker behind Drake\u2019s \u201cHotline Bling\u201d \u2014 helms the visual. And Lil Yachty<\/a>, who fully commits to impersonating Oprah at the peak of her daytime talk show powers, leads his rapping co-stars in a series of sketches destined to flood Instagram feeds and Twitter timelines across the nation.<\/p>\n

In that way, \u201cOprah\u2019s Bank Account\u201d feels like a culmination. For the first third of 2020, Yachty recalibrated on the fringes of rap<\/a>, quietly and consistently turning in feature after feature, appearance after video appearance. Whether it was Tadoe\u2019s \u201cGet It Bussin\u201d or Duke Deuce\u2019s \u201cCrunk Ain\u2019t Dead Mob,\u201d the crimson-haired rapper reclaimed, in short bursts, some of the goodwill he\u2019d lost since the critiqued release of 2017\u2019s Teenage Emotions<\/em>.<\/p>\n

At one point in the video, Yachty and Drake launch into a skit about the current state of rap. It\u2019s more revealing than funny. The sketch quickly devolves into dad humor, showing just how fast rapper\u2019s age in the new ecosystem. The two musicians joke about mumble rap at Yachty\u2019s expense. For some godforsaken reason, they mispronounce TikTok as \u201cTokTake.\u201d Then Yachty as \u201cBoprah\u201d asks, \u201cThis new generation of music, these new rappers. The mumble rap, what do you think about it?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s amazing,\u201d Drake responds. \u201cLiterally, writing nursery rhymes that nobody can understand. I think it\u2019s progressive and innovative. I think at the forefront of that movement of music that should be forgotten about \\ Lil Yachy.\u201d With the help of Drake, DaBaby, and Director X, Lil Yachty maay have a moment on his hands that\u2019s all but impossible to ignore. Yet again, Yachty \u2014 with the help of the forces invested in his future \u2014 seems too big to fail, similar to Oprah\u2019s bank account.<\/p>\n
