    Hate him or love him - but he never gave up.

    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.

    Tekashi 6ix9ine shown from a Self-Made Villain perspective

    This "documentary" in my opinion is skewed to the negative, only showing the bad ways Tekashi 6ix9ine hustled to become famous, never showing anything positive. It shows how he changed his look then combined it with his street & gang life on social media to inspire a massive following. It also shows how the FBI used those same social media posts against him and his fellow gang members in court. There is no human angle to this doc, all we see is disdain for the super-snitching super-villain. He had a great Dad, so is he a good dad? Does he visit his Mom, take her to lunch? Does he visit his Dad's grave? He can't be this turnt guy 24\7, there has to be more, Danny Hernandez (6ix9ine) deserves a better doc. He may have done or is doing "bad things", but he is a human who made choices. Were those choices possibly based on his childhood or does he have a mental illness? Would have liked to seen a deeper side to this series. Those who say he has 0 talent can not dispute he has a talent for getting money!

    Take a chill pill karam

    This documentary there is a lot wrongs to it sure tekashi made poor choices let's not forget his baby momma ain't no saint !!! But pushing that away he ain't no evil person in the world like the director and the people involved in this documentary give him this literal caricature sick dude with mentality problems..."" Pointing Danny the person at fault of everything is illogical and ill-minded of these grownups of they hatred or ignorant sentiment whatever derange mind they're on. I SEE MORE SO this EGOISTICAL EGO of a group of individuals carry this ego myth of the streets. Loyalty to streets is inexistent morally really. The people that spoke on this documentary is people that are putting they energy and betting money to degrade this individual these kind of people are the real evil a lot of rappers in the hip hop industry a lot I've done my homework but that's another thing that are real evil and 'we' YALL know of...is in front of our noses but no one says anything due to the fact because they are black individuals that no media would really put out because it will affect the business in being looked as anti black etc..and therefore is not as highlighted in addition leave this kid alone!!! The majority of people he was with like his baby momma, shotti, those that didn't liked him are not at all to defend!! They are people that got envious, greedy, and all in all are the real hypocrites, shady , disloyal persons . On top of that magazines and blogs that spill the tea those are the evil mentality profiting from gossiping and putting content out there changing the narrative get that the narrative, in ( interpreting )get that again, interpreting is the worst you cannot CONSTRUED the logical ramifications of life AND yet is there now that is sick and those are the ones the we should always point out these gossip magazines are malefactors of society as well as documentaries that have ruin people's life's even journalists are such screenslavers THATS evil EVIL is out there RIGHT in front of our or your noses and this guy is not it! YOU JUST DONT LIKE HIM .

    Like watching a train wreck in action

    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.

    Good but

    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.
