Oh Don't Switch Now

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.
