Whales

"Whales" is a 2014 song by the American hip hop group Hail Mary Mallon. It's a satirical take on the superficial cult of money and wealth in the hip hop culture.

Rips
Even before high quality rips existed, this song was already a meme on SoundCloud and YouTube. A large part of this can be attributed to its nearly non-existent instrumental, having only a simple drum loop.

The song's popularity as a meme peaked when archdiggle created a mashup of the song with "Tem Shop" from Undertale, though it had seen some use earlier. One of the early adopters was BotanicSage, a notable SiIvaGunner collaborator.

On SiIvaGunner's channel, the song has become a minor meme that usually appears in medley rips.
