  "account": "Druski hosted Saturday Night Live on November 7th, making his debut alongside musical guest The Strokes. However, it was Druski's performance of \"She Said Yes\" that became the show's memorable moment. Druski's ability to sing and perform musical comedy shone through in two standout sketches: \"Proposal\" and \"Golden Age of Hip-Hop.\"\n\nIn \"Proposal,\" Druski played a man proposing to his girlfriend, Sarah Sherman. When she said no, Druski and a growing ensemble of entertainers continued to perform, leading to a hilarious and awkward musical finale. Druski's soulful crooning of \"She said yes, oh, she said yes / Can't wait to see her wearing that dress / Got down on one knee and she said yes\" added a comedic touch to the sketch.\n\nThe episode's highlight was \"Golden Age of Hip-Hop,\" a parody documentary-style sketch showcasing a socially conscious hip-hop group called Lenny & The Street Smart Crew. Druski led the group in songs like \"Gangs Ain't Good (Free Yo Mind)\" and \"You Can Be My Brother, Friend,\" highlighting their socially conscious messages. Druski's performance garnered support from hip-hop friends such as Drake, Travis Scott, Quavo, and Wheezy, who congratulated him on his upcoming \"SNL\" hosting gig.",
