After a three year break, this year American rapper Lil Dicky returned with his new, Chris Brown featuring single, Freaky Friday . The song retains a theme where Chris and Dicky switch bodies for a day, which stems from the original movie, Freaky Friday.
It’s been difficult to miss this track. It immediately went viral, racking up 298 million views on YouTube in just three months. This is due in large part to several superstar cameos, including Ed Sheeran, DJ Khaled and a weird, auto-tuned bit from Kendall Jenner, in which she sings about her vagina. Its god-awful.
However, Freaky Friday's upbeat tone, and witty and fun verses makes this song an instant hit, racking up more then 298 million hits on YouTube. Taking a catchy Mustard beat, and laying it over Chris Browns great skills, and hilarious lyrics and a signature self-deprecating turn from Lil Dicky, it is one of the greatest songs ever released, and will go down as one of the best rap songs of all time. All though Chris Brown receives a lot of criticism, he is still very talented, and his traits are shown well in this masterpiece. The song is defined by his rich vocals and the brilliant video is enhanced by his flawless dancing, and hilarious acting skills.
Though, main "protagonist" of the song would be Lil Dicky.. The song portrays his layed back Pennsylvania lifestyle. and that contrasts heavily upon Chris's lifestyle, and the quick and witty beats of the song. His ability to combine hilarious lyrics, impressive rapping skills all while over fun and catchy beats really does make him out as a shooting star in the rap game today. His devotion to creating fun and amusing music videos just adds to the quality of his songs. You should definitely give Freaky Friday a listen if you have the time.
Only if John Feldmann had worked with Lil Dicky and Chris Brown, could this have been possibly the absolute best song humanity has ever seen.
I can't believe you've done this
