The neverending 6ix9ine adventure bounced through the mirror of the previous fall when he got away from government racketeering and gun charges by confessing and showing up as the star observer for the indictment during the preliminary against the Nine Trey Bloods — the set he yelled out all through his fleeting ascent to rap fame, energized by the deafening 2017 hit "Gummo."

The case worked on the general thought of Tekashi 6ix9ine, who'd bacome famous up until that point as the quintessential hip-hop troll, an extreme person inclined to woofing outside-parting dangers in his music and conveying fights with rivals like Chief Keef out into the avenues off record. Under the danger of prison time, the Brooklyn rapper, conceived Daniel Hernandez, said 6ix9ine was only a character he plays.

 

An announcement discharged by his lawyer following the 2018 capture on government charges collapsed the Tekashi fantasy beyond all doubt, calling the rapper “an entertainer who portrays a ‘gangster image’ to promote his music,” who'd sat idle yet get stirred up with an inappropriate group. In court, he exchanged up and surrendered partners like Kooda B, who was blamed for attempting to shoot Keef. What do you say after that? How would you show your face in a network that remunerated you for what resembled realness, that scorns individuals who lie for clout and individuals who help out the cops?

We have the appropriate response now, as 6ix9ine uncovered his rebound single "Gooba" and came back to Instagram Live to a record-breaking 1.9 million watchers. He's back like nothing occurred, checking cash, blazing gems, flaring individuals who questioned him, and drawing smoke from different rappers. On IG, Tekashi moved to the tune of "Bad Boys" by the Kingston reggae bunch Inner Circle (most popular as the topic to the unscripted TV drama Cops), brandishing bombastic chains and dangling cuffs before the camera.

 What followed was top Tekashi, a long harangue about how everybody's envious on the grounds that he's showing improvement over them, and everybody is frantic at him since he changed the game. "Gooba" is business as usual, a two-minute f-ck you finger to haters set to a snare beat that seems like blood and gore flick music.

 

The chorale —  “Are you dumb, stupid, or dumb?” — reiterates a line from the Brooklyn rapper Ronny Godz's "Are You Dumb" (that Remy Ma made into a catchphrase), which he ripped apart once before on Dummy Boy's "Stoopid." Chalk the redundancy up to an absence of innovativeness, or fault Tekashi for banking his rebound single on an obsolete saying on the way that he just got back home a month ago. In any case, "Gooba" sounds old on appearance.

It's jolting having a rapper disclose to you his whole persona was extremely only a lucrative shtick and afterward step directly over into the character, to hear and see a hip-jump craftsman make a joke out of the way that he sang on the substitute court.



In any case, it's a misconception of who and what Tekashi is, and who and what we've become as a group of people and a general public, to figure he'd do something besides what he's done or that it wouldn't go on without serious consequences. Investigate the teary looked at frown toward the finish of the "Gooba" video, as Tekashi gazes into the camera, and by augmentation, into the essence of the apparently opposing watcher on the opposite end, soaked in rainbow paint.

He is a dark gap, a vacuum for acknowledgment, a result of a consideration economy where we support fake relief sales reps with loathe sees since we can't just accept what they're willing to state to get by. He's a resident of a nation run by a TV star fixated on his appraisals. He is the new American dream. We can't stop him since we should comprehend what occurs straightaway; our interest is his wellspring of intensity. 6ix9ine is rap's Freddy Krueger. He'll be with us insofar as we're looking.
