Get Out director Jordan Peele dropped the trailer for his latest horror movie, Us, on Christmas Day. The clip prominently features Oakland duo Luniz’s 1995 classic, “I Got 5 on It,” prompting viewers to either revisit or learn the song’s lyrics on Genius.
“I Got 5 on It” experienced a massive surge in popularity, skyrocketing from 124 Genius pageviews on December 24 to 7,025 the next day, when the Us trailer was released. This represents an increase of 5,565 percent. The song’s lyrics page has maintained popularity since then, racking up 5,983 pageviews on December 26. It’s currently on pace to approach those numbers today. Prior to the Us trailer, it was averaging 145 pageviews a day.
