How could one possibly make Lil Yachty’s viral breakout track 1 Night any more Internet? Exactly like this, I suppose. Yachty released the video for his biggest hit to date yesterday, and it’s sent our heads spinning. The frenetic vision of a kid who’s just gotten After Effects for the first time, 1 Night uses special effects with reckless abandon, superimposing current-day, dabbing, singing Yachty onto his Yeezy Season 3 podium, then onto a little tugboat, and his own album cover. He even sings a few lines out of Future and Hov’s mouths.
“We definitely hope you have as much fun watching it as we had making it,” Yachty told the FADER. It certainly looks like he and his crew had a good time. The scuba suited, emoji riddled jaunt captures this very moment on the internet perfectly. In a few years, this time capsule will either make us a laugh or cry. We can’t wait.
