"Whipski" is a song by American rapper Snot featuring fellow American rapper Lil Skies and American record label/production collective Internet Money. It was released on April 8, 2021 with an accompanying music video.

Background[edit]

Prior to its release, the song was teased for a while. It gained higher anticipation when it was revealed that Cole Bennett would be directing the visual.[1][2]

Composition[edit]

The song finds Snot rapping about driving in a car and partying with a girl over a guitar instrumental.[1][3]

Music video[edit]

The music video was released on April 8, 2021, through Bennett's Lyrical Lemonade channel.[4] It depicts Snot and Lil Skies as employees at an automobile repair shop. They catch their boss sleeping, attack him and take a van for a joyride.[5][6] The van breaks down, but Snot solves the problem by turning it into a vintage BMW with a magic wrench. However, the boss appears and burns down the car with a flamethrower,[6] and is hit by a passing vehicle.[5] A pair of purple alien girls show up and give the rappers a ride, with something in store for them.[5][6]
