"Best Friends" is a song by rapper Froggy Fresh from his debut album, Money Maker (Re-Loaded). It was originally released on May 31, 2012, under the name Krispy Kreme. The song was accompanied by a music video, just as "The Baddest", and all other of Froggy's songs. The video, Froggy's third overall, has accumulated over 6.5 million views, as of December 1, 2013.[1]
Release
[edit]"Best Friends" was released following "The Baddest", and "Haters Wanna Be Me". Both of the preceding songs thrust Froggy into the spotlight.[2][3]
Music video
[edit]The music video depicted the friendship between Froggy Fresh, and Money Maker Mike.[4] It also displays the "beef" that Mike has with the main antagonist of Froggy's raps, James.[5] James, a drug lord, kidnaps Mike.[6][7] This propels Froggy to salvage his friendship, by rescuing Mike.
Reception
[edit]The music video, just as Froggy's previous two, as well as his subsequent videos, went viral, being featured on Complex, and CollegeHumor, among other online publications.[4][8][9]
One source used the video as a criticism and point to determine that Froggy is a troll.[10]
The video was highlighted for having a more serious tone than his previous works.[7] Froggy's shout out to rapper Tupac Shakur, at the end of the song, was also heavily noted.[5][6][7]
