When people are asked who the greatest musician of all time is, they will give a variety of responses. Some will say Michael Jackson, others are likely to say The Beatles. Many will probably say Elvis, and a few younger people may say someone like Beyonce. I would argue, however, that the greatest musician, not only of our time, but all time, is Daniel Hernandez, better known as 6ix9ine(AKA Tekashi69). His debut album DUMMY BOY proves this point. It is a beautiful representation of the pains of becoming famous, telling a mesmerizing story of Tekashi’s battles against depression, battling betrayal, and injustice in America. His mixtape DAY69, which released earlier this year to critical acclaim, discussed Hernandez’s struggles growing up in urban poverty, discussing topics such as police brutality and suicide with a refinement few others could compare to. The album also contained amazing hard hitting production and delivery from Tekashi’s trademark sound. Many people began to realize his talent from this, and Tekashi continued to rise to fame after this, but his most recent album DUMMY BOY truly cements 6ix9ine as one of the, if not the, greatest musician of all time. The album starts of with a bang with the opening track, STOOPID, having Tekashi let out his anger at the corruption in the American prison-industrial complex complex. The song's title is a reference to the many insults he faces for standing up against the system. He shouts out his “Apes” in the “Zoo” on this song. This is used to paint a brutally honest picture of the inhumane treatment of prisoners in U.S. prisons, calling out the abuse inmates face in many of America’s for-profit prisons by comparing it to the well-known poor conditions of animals in zoos. Later in the song he states “Shout out my Blood shout out my Crip.” This is used to show that 6ix9ine grew up in a rough environment, give legitimacy to his claims about the poor conditions many Americans face, but also shows that he wants to end gang violence because of his friendship with members of rival gangs, creating an inspirational message of the future to America’s youth that will end much of the unnecessary gun violence in this country. The song ends with a feature from Bobby Shmurda, a rapper who at the time of the writing of this is currently unjustly imprisoned for crimes he did not commit, simply because he wanted to prevent his friends from serving longer sentences. 69 uses this to show his connection to the prison system with people his is friends with suffering the unjust imprisonment he describes. On his raw verse, Shmurda says from the prison phone “I count the bricks put the word out.” This is Bobby announcing his plans to get into architecture after getting out of prison, hoping to let his friends and family know so they can assist him. He says this to encourage those listening who are considering committing crimes to instead instead take similar actions to try to put themselves into a stable occupation to provide for themselves. Bobby encourages economic development within the black community so that they can work together to have better lives. Upon first listen, the song seems to simply be a direct call out on the prison system, but upon closer a***ysis another message can be found. Throughout the song 6ix9ine interpolates lyrics from Chief Keef’s hit song Faneto and turns them against Chief Keef.
