Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz, and Benny The Butcher have similar lifestyles, as showcased in the “Oprah & Gayle” music video. The trio of rappers flex their riches, highlight their work, and add a personal touch to their day-to-day activities.
Directed by Krispy, DJ Scoob Doo, and The Wizard, the “Oprah & Gayle” visual is broken into three parts, each aligning with a verse. The entire clip is black and white.
“Kinda crazy, my last bid was the shortest and she ain’t wait for me / Spent half my twenties in prison and aged gracefully,” raps Benny The Butcher on the aspirational rap song.
“Oprah & Gayle” comes from Welcome 2 Collegrove, the anticipated collaborative effort from 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne released earlier this month. Across 21 tracks, the album is narrated by 50 Cent with features from 21 Savage, Usher, Fabolous, Vory, Rick Ross, and Marsha Ambrosius.
“We’ve been working on it for some time, had a lot of clearance issues, but for the most part, we’re two hardworking individuals who go in the studio every night. So, I don’t think it was hard recording the music,” explained 2 Chainz of the project to Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1.
“It just was a process of getting the music out to the people. I think me and him just have that chemistry. We enjoy working with each other a lot, and it’s a lot of respect there. And as I always say, still sharpen still. So, it’s always that little piece of anxiety of knowing that I got to this verse has to be better than the last one. I think it’s healthy. I think competition is healthy in any and everything that we do.”
