Supervillain: The Making of Tekashi 6ix9ine

Either you hate him or love him, one cannot deny his success. He became one of today's most controversial and successful hip hop artists. And he achieved this from the bottom. I believe this documentary is extremely well-executed and even though his story is wild as, this guy did everything to stand out and get out from the hood. When he rose to fame I couldn't stand him for being who he is but then his music slowly grew on me. You cannot argue with the fact that he ratted out his whole crew but he's still here and none of us really knew what happened. Give this series a shot, I'm sure it's going to be something new.

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.

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.

The construct of Superhero/Supervillain is equally as corrosive as the online infamy phenomenon it seeks to explain.

Other than that it is a fair documenting of a wannabe's adventures.

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!"
