About
Oh Don't Switch Now is a viral meme rap freestyle on TikTok from white rapper CRACK. The initial lyrics are "Yeah I'm Rich Now, And I Might Up the Switch Now, Oh Don't Switch Now." The original video was posted to his TikTok account @iamcrack19 in mid-June 2024. Thereafter, others on the app used the TikTok sound for their content, predominantly making fun of the arguably bad (but also slightly good) freestyle that was funny because of how "white" CRACK sounded.
Origin
On June 15th, 2024, TikToker[1] @iamcrack19 (aka CRACK) posted a video in which he's freestyling and riffing on the slang term "switch" (meaning a "Glock switch" or "giggle switch," a device attached to the rear of the slide that turns the semi-automatic handgun into an automatic one), rapping, "Yeah, I'm rich now / And I might up the switch now / Oh, don't switch now." The caption notably uses a misspelling of "rapper" as "r*per." Over six days, the video received roughly 6.8 million plays and 988,600 likes (shown below).
