I think dude throwing around fake coke and then his girlfriend chasing him off stage ruined whatever career that dude was gonna have in rap music.
I don't, lol.


I think if that type of crap is your bag you're gonna turn a deaf ear to anything contrary to what you want to hear.

I guess you can argue what degree it becomes absurd, but if you cross every rapper off your list for making something up or exaggerating you're not going to have much to listen to.

Vice:
If Stitches were some shitty punk band using the internet to raise enough awareness of their music to get a write-up on Pitchfork instead of a crazy-looking kid with tattoos of stitches and assault weapons on his face trying to get enough viral fame to land himself a record deal, we wouldn’t question any of this. But he does, and because of his inherent bizarreness people write him off as a music industry contrivance rather than a smart, young person with a rough background trying to use what he has to make the best of himself.

I don't know if "fan" is the right word.

Some of his songs are fun. But by no stretch of the definition is he a good rapper. But sometimes you just want to blast some music and yell cuss words.

While it all could be, and probably is, a stunt of sorts, I think he deserves a little credit for going all in. Looking at the picture in a microscope looks like a kid who made the decision to chase his dream of being a rapper. He had the foresight to copyright his name, committed to the act with the face tattoos, made the connections to get noticed and seeing it through. There is something admirable about someone saying "Fuck it, this is what I want, it's the only option for me. The only way I can get it is by buying in all the way, lets do it."

I don't care for dude's music but I really also don't care if people listen to him and if he's successful or not and I really don't care if he's real or not.. whatever the fuck that even means these days. What I was getting at is dude was making at least a little noise and had people looking at him and then that happened and more or less everyone stopped checking for him.
