This kid is a joke, and I just laugh at him. But he makes a lot of people real angry which I also think is funny.
Hell nah he's not real, but neither is Rick Ross. I mean to me, Ross is worse than this kid being an ex CO and spitting nothing but gangsta fairy tales. But I'll still bump some classic Ross tracks.
Either way, I highly doubt this kid is more than a 1 trick pony, and really his fame has come because of this hilarious juxtaposition of this tiny white kid doing drill music. He's kind of a pioneer on that front. But after that wears off I'm sure dude will go away.
People need to realize that mainstream hip hop nowadays is all fake. They all have writing teams, they all have people tell them what to wear, what to say, how to sound, fake orchestrated beefs, etc.
NO ONE IS AUTHENTIC ANYMORE. Oh well.
