Supervillain: The Making of Tekashi 6ix9ine

Recently I was watching Andy Samberg's 2016 movie, Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping and it almost seemed predictive to this "supervillain." I kept thinking this guy needs to be on medication as he must surely be manic.

And in the last hour, showing his music sales decreasing, I found myself wondering how he will fare, even in the near future. Another hour should be made to continue the story, probably in about 5 or 10 years. I suspect he may end up in jail if he is not medicated. He may not even live that long.

Interesting to hear this perspective but Adam 22 was a poor choice. Watching him act like he has some morale high ground, when he has his own issues was infuriating.

He Didn't want anything to do with 6ix9ine until 69 had a little traction and then all of a sudden he thought he would throw him a crumb and give him an interview. And now that the proverbial ish has hit the fan, adam "looks down" on 69 (his actual words in the film) but not too much to take money to be in this documentary. Trash individual. Hard to take a 40 year old podcaster seriously on this topic.

Overall, the documentary was interesting but seem to serve more as a platform for Adam 22 to express his disdain for 69, and then to dig deeper into the details that made 69 who he is.

The staging to make Adam 22 and the two TreyWay gang members look like saints hurt the credibility of the series. These people have done awful things yet they are presented to us in an unfairly favorable light.

They used Adam 22 to be a "voice of reason" for the show, where he discusses how gross Daniel's (6ix9ine) sexual assault was. However, Adam 22 has credible rape allegations of his own.

All of that being said, I do appreciate the documentary for exposing Daniel.

The most compelling part of the series to me was Sara (Daniel's ex). I truly admire her strength in sharing her story. I believe that her accounts are the most explanatory of Daniel's behavior and play an absolute crucial role in the series. It is one thing to hurt gang members you've only known a year or two, but it is a totally different story when you abuse the person you've been the closest to since MIDDLE SCHOOL. It shows the true depth of Daniel's selfishness. He does not care for anyone but himself, and the "misunderstood, secretly nice guy" was a total act.

I did find it interesting and I get that going with the supervillain stuff was to get attention. But acting as if he was methodical or calculating with everything he did is a joke. You're giving him way way too much credit. Sure people watched because of the outrageousness of it all but to think he had some grand plan in it all is just stupid. And to think he was cool with all the hate he got is wrong as well. He's like millions of other teens in America he got a taste of being famous then went to any lengths to make it continue until it all caught up with him. If it was as calculated as this doc portrays he would've never ended up where he did.

Can you honestly blame him? Getting money at a young age, doing whatever the hell he wants to do, and literally speaking his mind with no filter whatsoever.. I can't say I wouldn't have done the same thing and really letting it all go to my head. I'd like to think I would have "stopped" at a certain point.. but you never know until you get a taste of power and success At the same time, I know I wouldn't be cursing dead homies and such. Dude seems like he's really putting his neck out there and at the rate he's going, someone's gonna do something about it. Not trying to jinx it but he's giving out that energy.. we'll see how this review ages in the very near future..

For some reason, 69's persona gives off the Tony Montana quote from Scarface vibe: "What you lookin' at? You all a bunch ****** *ssholes. You know why? You don't have the guts to be what you wanna be. You need people like me. You need people like me so you can point your fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." So.. what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie. Me, I don't have that problem. Me, I always tell the truth. Even when I lie. So say good night to the bad guy! Come on. The last time you gonna see a bad guy like this again, let me tell you. Make way for the bad guy. There's a bad guy comin' through! Better get outta his way!"
