'GATA' By Tekashi 6ix9ine Is Far Funnier Than Any Parody Song Has Ever Been

Let me preface this all by saying how easy it is to hate Tekashi, and it has nothing to do with his being a federal informant contrary to popular belief. He's just unbearably loud for someone who isn't respect by any of his peers, it's actually admirable how little self awareness he has. His trolling used to be funny when it wasn't just all a clear PR move, even when he got out of prison it was entertaining for a few weeks. He's now flaming out and drawing out internet battles for any attention he can find. He needs to just fully transition to the overseas markets as a hispanic making spanish rap, that lane will give him his only chance at actual success in rap-- his time in America has seemingly passed as people are just exhausted from his act.

With that all said though, he's pretty fucking hilarious in both an ironic and just blatantly rude fashion. 'GATA' is a perfect example of this, both because he has an expansive vocabulary of under 1,000 words and the wild shit he somehow makes rhyme. He raps like he's yelling a nursery rhyme over a hard ass beat, the songs are catchy to a point but when you break them down to their core, he's rhyming words with the exact same word and it truly makes no sense. 


" I know this lil eater, Bonquita
I tried to buy her Gucci but she really love Adidas
She said her pussy pink, but she from Brownsville
I was rollin' off the pills so I still fuckin' kill
Oh damn, Let me guess? You need an Uber? 
Are you dumb? Are you really fuckin' stupid? 
The J-Train is right over there
2.50 bitch, pay the fuckin' fare "

What kinda drugs do you have to be on to think of this shit? This sounds like a verse from 'The Lonely Island' in 2012, and that's the thing-- if he was in the parody music genre this would be hilarious, but I think he actually believes he just killed the track with this shit. When I first heard it, I didn't realize who it was for the first 90 seconds and was just laughing hysterically thinking it was someone mocking Danny Boy-- not a great sign! An even worse sign? When DJ Akademics is the biggest name feature, out of all previously unreleased songs, that you can get on your album. Yooiiiikkes. No one wants to work with this dude.

This is a terrific parody song, who he's parodying? Himself, but laughs are laughs and whether we're laughing with him or at him-- we're still gonna get these chuckles off. Rhyming Adidas and Bonquita, Brownsville and kill, man is this guy a lyrical mastermind or what. And I'm not even a lyrical, rappity rap guy, but this shit is just not it. Become a parody rapper or go overseas, it's played out man.
