Polo G is having one of the best runs in Hip Hop these days. The Chicago native earned his first pair of No. 1’s on the Billboard 200 and Hot 100 charts with his album Hall of Fame and its third official single, “Rapstar.”

Despite seeing a rise in his popularity, Polo G isn’t immune to the criticism. During his set at Rolling Loud New York on Thursday (October 28), Polo decided to preview an upcoming track that samples the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson.

The new track titled “Smooth Criminal” flips the 1987 Michael Jackson classic of the same name into a fast-paced romp about what Polo G thinks it means to be a suave gangster in 2021



Polo G got a lukewarm response from the crowd at Citi Field, and it didn’t help he was rapping (slightly off-beat) over a backing track. As The LOX showed us during their Verzuz battle with Dipset in August, knowing your own lyrics is very important.

People on social media weren’t as nice as those in Citi Field and dragged Polo G for even thinking the song was a hit. Many left negative emojis while others commented on the possibility of MJ being disappointed in the afterlife with Polo G’s attempt.

“How Polo G got the nerve to remake a Michael Jackson classic,” one fan tweeted while another said, “Mj rolling in his grave rn knowing his estate let polo g out of all nikkas get a smooth criminal sample.”





He might be the first person ever too sample MJ and the song was gabbage
