Tech N9ne just dropped his new album 5816 Forest, and to celebrate, he teamed up with Lil Wayne for the fifth time on a single we’re not going to forget anytime soon. “Yoda” is more than just a track; it’s a full-blown trip through hyperspace with a crash landing that leaves you reeling (in the best way possible). And the video? Pure chaos, in the most beautiful, frenzied way imaginable.
First off, Tech flexes his lyrical wizardry by actually rapping like freakin’ Yoda. That’s right, Yoda. And not in a corny, over-the-top way either. It’s bizarrely genius. Lines like “Be the, be the best I will” feel as if Tech spent a weekend on Dagobah training with the Jedi master himself. His delivery is sharp and exact, all while stepping seamlessly into this galactic persona. But don’t sleep on Weezy. He rides shotgun with classic Lil Wayne flair, dropping zingers like “I be green like Yoda,” locking into the theme with his quirky wordplay. Together, they’re effortlessly cool, weaving a track that bounces between swagger and absurdity in a way that just works.
Now for the visuals. Holy Sith, where do I even start? Picture a kaleidoscope of glowing lightsabers slicing through a haze of neon. Tech and Wayne stand at the forefront, commanding every second of the frame like they’re hosting the wildest Jedi rave in the galaxy. The video captures the vibe of the track perfectly: chaotic, creative, and completely unhinged. There’s no storyline, no deeper meaning to analyze. It’s just a visceral explosion of color, energy, and swagger.
What makes this even wilder is how proudly out-of-the-box it all is. Who else but Tech N9ne could pull off a concept like this without it coming off as a parody? He’s not just staying in his lane; he’s building new hyperlanes and pulling Lil Wayne along for the ride. These two consistently push boundaries when they collaborate, and “Yoda” is no exception.
Here’s the truth in plain English. You need to watch this video. Even if you’ve never spun a Tech N9ne track before or you think the Star Wars references might be lost on you, give this one a shot. It’s impossible not to get caught up in the sheer audacity of it all. And while you’re at it, grab 5816 Forest. If this track is any indication of what’s on the album, you’re in for a treat.
To borrow a note from Yoda himself, “Do or do not, there is no try.” Watch the video. Thank me later.
