Qui est 6ix9ine le rappeur arc-en-ciel bien vénère kidnappé lundi ?

Le jour où 6ix9ine a secoué le paysage rap c’était le 10 novembre 2017. Le rappeur multicolore sortait le clip de Gummo, une bombe virulente tournée dans les rues de Brooklyn, qui claque aujourd’hui les 240 millions de vues. L’attirail est là : voix criarde, beat ténébreux, guns, grillz arc-en-ciel, do-rag affublés du rouge des Bloods… Niveau street-cred, on est bien. Ça, c’était donc il y a huit mois. A l’époque, 6ix9ine, Daniel Hernandez dans le civil, 21 ans, n’était presque personne dans le rap. Mais hier, il a été victime d’un kidnapping durant lequel ses ravisseurs lui auraient dérobé 20 000 dollars en cash et 770 000 dollars de bijoux. Entre temps, il s’est passé beaucoup, beaucoup de choses.

Passer son bac pour éviter la taule

C’est son Brooklyn natal que l’on aperçoit dans le clip de Gummo. Celui qui l’a vu, à treize ans, perdre son père et décrocher de l’école pour ne plus jamais y revenir. Celui qui l’a vu enchaîner les petits boulots, s’en faire virer pour une bonne partie, et qui l’a vu se lancer dans le deal. Cannabis d’abord, héroïne ensuite, le tout en partenariat avec son frère. Il dit avoir vécu dans la rue, mais ce qui est certain, c’est que cette vie franchement hors des codes lui vaut un rapide séjour en prison. Le rap vient pour la déconne : "Pour être honnête, j’ai commencé à rapper pour le fun", admettait-il à la web radio No Jumper. Comme un paquet de gars de sa génération, c’est Soundcloud qui supporte ses premières armes. Et pour se faire remarquer dans la masse, rien de mieux qu’une gueule reconnaissable entre mille. Les cheveux seront de toutes les couleurs, le blaze sera chelou (ça, à la rigueur, c’est plus classique), et le nombre 69 sera tatoué partout sur son corps, y compris en gros au-dessus de son œil droit. Histoire que sa touche rentre dans toutes les cervelles.

Premiers sons en 2014. Le style est dur, cru et agressif. Mais 6ix9ine part avec un handicap qu’il a bien cherché. Accusé d’avoir tourné une vidéo sexuellement explicite avec une mineure de treize ans, il se retrouve devant une juge qui lui propose le deal suivant : il ne savait pas qu’elle était mineure, certes, mais pour échapper à la prison et au fichage en tant que délinquant sexuel, il lui faudra se tenir parfaitement à carreaux pendant deux ans, écrire une lettre à la victime, ne plus tourner de vidéos de ce genre, et surtout, obtenir l’équivalent du baccalauréat américain. Quand on a arrêté l’école à treize ans, c’est certainement le dernier point le plus difficile. Pour preuve, à ce jour, il n’est toujours pas parvenu à passer l’examen. Il a bénéficié de reports, mais l’épée de Damoclès est bien là, au-dessus de ses cheveux rouges, jaunes, verts et bleus.

Envoyer valser l’héritage

C’est en avril 2017 que le nom de 6ix9ine commence à faire du bruit dans l’underground rap US, lorsqu’il apparaît sur le titre POLES1469 de son poto Trippie Redd, membre comme lui du crew Scum Gang (pour "Society Can’t Understand Me", ou "la société ne peut pas me comprendre" en VF). Ce dernier est déjà plus installé que lui et commence à travailler avec le producteur star Pi’erre Bourne, qui lui fournit une instru. Mais Trippie Redd, contre l’avis de Bourne, décide seul de refiler le beat à 6ix9ine, ce que le beatmaker ne goûte que très peu. Cette instru, c’est celle de Gummo, le premier carton de celui qui se fait aussi appeler Teka$hi 6ix9ine.

Nombreux sont ceux qui le comparent à feu XXXTentacion. Même génération, même background sur Soundcloud, des trajectoires similaires avec le même goût pour les affaires judiciaires… Pourtant, la musique de 6ix9ine n’a rien de mélancolique. Les piano-voix sont inexistants, et, il faut bien le dire, le succès est légèrement moindre. Cependant, cette même propension à rejeter tout un héritage hip-hop massivement et sans ménagement les rapprochent. C’est une particularité de leur génération : Lil Yachty dit ne pas connaître Tupac, feu X crachait sur le concept de Zulu Nation d’Afrika Bambaataa. Ils sont loin les Mos Def, les Public Enemy, les X-Clan et les Nas. Et heureusement.

"Scuuuuum Gaaaaang !"

Auto-proclamé "King Of New York", 6ix9ine attaque l’année 2018 au pas de course. Nicki Minaj a fait de lui son protégé, et se présente sur son nouveau single, Fefe, sur lequel ils partagent le même flow. Depuis ses débuts, les anime japonais sont source d’inspiration. Les pochettes d’albums semblent sortir tout droit d’un Midi les Zouzous sous lean. Quelques semaines plus tard, son premier projet studio, Day69 : Graduation Day, sort. Il s’ouvre sur une boucherie bien vénère, Billy. : "C’est toujours 6ix9ine ci, 6ix9ine ça / Ces niggas me kiffent tellement qu’ils me harcèlent / Ces niggas me recherchent, tu n’as qu’à m’appeler pour que je vienne / J’ai balancé mon adresse, vous savez tous où vit 6ix9ine". Ça donne le ton. Et c’est comme ça pendant douze titres, sans baisser en intensité vocale, avec les très bons Keke, Buba, Chocolaté… Tous les morceaux commencent par un cri : "Scuuuuum Gaaaaaang !"

A force de faire le malin et de baver à tout va (sur The Game, YG, Jay Critch et même son pote Trippie Redd), 6ix9ine se met à dos pas mal de rappeurs. En interview pour le Breakfast Club, il clamait : "J’ai un 69 géant tatoué sur le front et des dents arc-en-ciel, je suis là en train de parler de tous ces mecs qui veulent m’embrouiller, à quel degré de stupidité ils sont, eux ? Aller embrouiller un gamin qui a des cheveux arc-en-ciel ? Ils laissent leurs enfants seuls à la maison pour ça ? Ils loupent un jour de boulot pour ça ? Les vrais gangsters ne parlent pas de ce qu’ils vont faire, ils le font c’est tout." Dans pas mal de villes américaines, il est wanted par des rappeurs ou gangs locaux. Son arrogance ("Vous savez tous ici que je sors de nulle part, je suis passé devant tout le monde en un claquement de doigts"), et que son manager n’a de cesse d’attiser, il la paie cash. En gros, tout le monde veut se le faire, et ça lui coûte quelques annulations de concert.

Le clash de l’année

Une bonne partie de la scène de Chicago, Chief Keef en tête, le prend en grippe. Le résultat, c’est le beef le plus tendu de 2018. Sur une vidéo Facetime, le rappeur multicolore (qui semble avoir pris comme une provocation le fait que Chief Keef et Trippie Redd fassent un son ensemble) envoie balader tout ce joli monde en des termes que la décence nous interdit de retranscrire. De là, les diss records et les messages haineux sur les réseaux s’enchaînent. Chief Keef part même à New York avec des sbires pour tenter de mettre la main sur 6ix9ine. Peu après, le 2 juin, Keef est pris dans une fusillade dont tout le monde ressort indemne. Puis 6ix9ine se rend à Chicago devant le domicile de Chief Keef. Ça déconne moyen, mais les faits sont difficilement imputables à un tel ou un tel, tant l’intox se fait forte dans les clashs entre rappeurs. Ce qui est certain, c’est que le décès de XXXTentacion le 18 juin, dont 6ix9ine se disait proche, est venu apaiser les tensions entre les deux camps.

6ix9ine n’en a pas finit avec la justice. Accusé d’avoir agressé un fan de 16 ans qui souhaitait faire une vidéo avec lui au beau milieu d’un centre commercial, il a de nouveau affaire aux juges en juillet (alors que les faits datent de janvier). Aujourd’hui, c’est cette sombre histoire de kidnapping qui vient le mettre une nouvelle fois sur le devant de la scène, juste avant la réédition physique de Day 69 : Graduation Day. 6ix9ine fait partie d’une génération de rappeurs dingues. Se tatouer le visage y est la coutume, on est désormais largement habitué. Mais si l’on prend du recul, on y constate tout de même une sorte de fuite en avant, une conviction que rien n’est éternel, et surtout pas un rappeur de 22 ans qui vit à 300 à l’heure en roue libre. XXXTentacion et Lil Peep peuvent en témoigner.

LMWTV4U: GOT S7E1

Welcome back to let me watch TV 4 U (LMWTV4U) where I watch TV shows so you don’t have to! If you’re not a GoT-watcher or you just need a review, check out my pre-season-6-GoT primer here or you can just check out the review/recap of the last ep of season 6 here

It’s GoT season 7 y’all- WHO’S EXCITED?

As always, spoiler alert. Also, I’m introducing a new segment of this blog called WHY DOES THIS SCENE EVEN MATTER or (WDTSEM?) to help us decipher when some seemingly unimportant or otherwise boring scenes actually do kind of matter. So watch for that. Now let’s get into it!

Over in Frey-ville/ Riverlands...

So we open on Walder Frey (aka Argus Filch from Harry Potter) giving a toast to a bunch of his people, all of whom have to wear inexplicably weird hats that seem to serve no purpose. Off the bat we know something is up because Arya Stark, fresh from the face-swapping-assassin-training academy, definitely killed Filch in the last ep of season 6. He’s gathered up all of his hat-wearing friends and family and is like hey guys, here’s some NOT POISONED wine let’s have a toast. It’s pretty obvious it’s Arya doing a really good impersonation of Filch/ wearing his face, especially when he doesn’t even pretend to take a sip of his wine. He’s all, hey remember when we killed all those Stark people, especially the mom and the hottie son, Robb and his preggers wife? That was fun, right? And all the poisoned guys are like yep murder is fun you are correct. Then he’s like too bad you didn’t kill all the Starks cuz one is still alive and…. It’s ME BITCHES.

And she rips off Filches’ face/body and is like SURPRISE! And because this is the season of the woman, she doesn’t let any of the poor servant girls (who were like 15 years old and all forced to marry Filch) drink any of wine but she’s like, I know this is confusing, because I was just wearing the face and body of your former husband but it’s me, a fellow 15-year old girl and please tell everyone THE NORTH REMEMBERS. (If you’ll recall the Stark fam is from the North and a bunch of them died at the red wedding which was FOREVER AGO)

Later in the ep, we catch up with Arya who is riding around on a horse like a boss when she happens upon ED SHEERAN. SERIOUSLY ED SHEERAN IS IN THIS EPISODE WHY? I DON’T KNOW. And he’s singing a song with some soldier bros, duh. And I guess they’re from the Lannister army (if you’ll recall the Lannisters are the incest twins) because they’re wearing their colors and they’re like ugh King’s Landing (where Queen Pixie Cut aka QPC is currently ruling after blowing up most of the city) is the worst. And Arya is like umm ya it sucks, last time I was there I saw my dad get his head chopped off, BUMMER. She doesn’t say that actually but she does listen to them talk about how they wished they were home with their family instead of fighting for QPC.

WHY DOES THIS SCENE EVEN MATTER (WDTSEM)? This scene is pretty clearly a setup to get Arya to consider meeting up with her bro (well actually uncle) and sis in Winterfell rather than her current single-minded pursuit of killing QPC. Anyway, the strangest thing about this scene is that one of the bros is like ya my mom always said to be kind to others and they’ll be kind to you and also none of the bros say anything murder-y or even slightly assault-y for that matter toward this young girl traveling alone WHAT SHOW IS THIS? On any other season of GoT this scene would have been a literal bloodbath.

Sidenote: when the opening credits run we FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER only see Westeros rather than both sides of the globe (or is it a globe? Idk. g.r.r.r.r.r. Martin plz advise) cuz our Khween Khaleesi is no longer residing there.

Next, let’s check in up North with Bran and his pal Meera who recently narrowly escaped a zombie attack only to be rescued by his zombie-uncle.

Bran is having a vision, as he is wont to do, of the “Night King” (zombie leader guy) plus thousands of zombies marching toward the non-zombie world. Some of them are even zombie giants which is super spooky. He’s like let’s GTFO and get south of this giant ice wall so they coming a-knocking on the ice-wall-door which, if you’ll recall is manned by all those moody celibate dudes that Bae was briefly murdered by before coming back from the dead. Bae’s friend who is in charge now is like umm new phone who dis cuz IDK what “Brandon Stark” looks like but it’s probably not you. And he and his friend Meera are like we promise, we’re cool and they let them in.

WDTSEM? Bran and Meera’s next stop after passing through TSA security is probably to see his sis and bro at his home, Winterfell. Last time that poor boi was there he was paralyzed, briefly made leader, ousted, forced to watch the whole place burn down and then had to escape before he was killed. So needless to say he’ll be happy to see that it’s not only rebuilt and no longer a torture dungeon, but being ruled by his fam! AND he’s the only one who knows the truth about Bae the R+L=J theory so he needs to drop that bomb on erry’body that basically means that Bae is kind of a rightful ruler and also Khaleesi’s nephew?!?

Speaking of his home, let’s check in with Winterfell...

Bae (Jon Snow) is like wow being in charge is hard no wonder Obama turned gray lol-is-this-thing-on? And Sansa is like eye-roll and they have a little tiff in front of everyone which is EMBARRASSING. A few important things happen here:

Bae tells everyone to dig for dragonglass cuz it’s the only way to kill the zombies. He’s like hey bois, gurls, gender-non-comforming-individuals, EVERYONE needs to get to work and dig and learn to fight

Everyone’s favorite pint-sized-ruler-of-Bear-Island, Lyanna Mormont, is all about that lyfe, as shown in gif above

Bae is like wow little kids are pretty good at being in charge so let’s put these other 2 lil’ squirts in charge over at their houses

Bae sends hottie-ginger-wildling-bae to guard part of the wall where the zombies are probably heading first. Goodbye ginger-bae.

Sansa does not agree with the putting-kids-in-charge bit which is what they argue about but he does it anyway. They kind of makeup and then they talk about how Cersei (aka Queen Pixie Cut aka QPC) is in charge now and Sansa is like she cray but also a BAMF.

Later we get a scene of Brienne, everyone’s fave lady-knight, training her squire how to fight and are reminded that ginger-bae has the hots for her. As Sansa watches this all play out, Littlefinger (ugh he is the WORST) comes over to tell Sansa for the 80th time that he loves her and wants to rule the world with her. And as she has done 80 times, she’s like NO THANKS DUDE.

Speaking of Queen Pixie Cut (QPC) let’s check in on her over at King’s Landing…

QPC is ruling whatever is left of her people after she blew most of them up. She commissioned this giant map/painting on the ground and is stompin’ all around like she owns the place, which, to be fair, she does. Her twin bro/lover, Jamie, comes over and is like ummm… what’s the tea? Remember how our last living kid jumped out of a building and died last season… can we discuss? And she’s literally like yolo we gotta rule this place FOR US. And he’s like but we don’t have any heirs anymore, like who’s gonna take over after that you can’t #liveforever this ain’t the high school cafeteria in the film version of Fame. She’s like dontcha worry, I gotta plan.

So Theon’s crazy uncle shows up to see them. If you’ll recall last season, he killed his bro and then tried to become king of the wet-rock-pile by throwing up a bunch of sea water even though his niece, Theon’s sis, was totes supposed to become kween of her peeps. While he was performing his water-gagging-magic-trick, Theon and his sis ran away with a bunch of the peeps and all of the ships. Again, their entire island seemed to have about 20 people so WHO IS ON THOSE SHIPS? IDK. And he was like NBD I’ll make a bunch more ships AGAIN WHO IS BUILDING AND THEN RIDING ON THESE SHIPS IDK. So I guess the ships are built and people must be on them because they show up to QPC’s shores and she’s like whatup. Jamie is NOT HAVING IT mostly because he is jelly since Theon’s crazy uncle (TCU) is hittin on his sis. TCU manages to squeeze in a really sick burn when he’s like well at least I have 2 working hands (Jamie got one chopped off 3 seasons ago) and then he asks QPC to get with him. She’s like naw dawg so he’s like NBD I’ll be back with a “very special present” and heads off. They also banter about how his niece and nephew and Khaleesi and QPC’s other bro (Tyrion) have all teamed up and are headed that way.

WDTSEM? In the books, apparently TCU has some sort of magic horn that can call dragons? I think this might be the gift he’s going to get and bring back to QPC which would be CLUTCH because in the upcoming battle against Khaleesi, the ability to control those dragons would be really helpful.

Next, let’s see how Sam is doing over in “Oldtown” where all the maesters live...

If you’ll recall, Maesters are like doctors/librarians/historians, each of whom is assigned to either a place (like the ice wall) or a family, I guess (like the Starks). Sam wants to be one but he also is NAUGHTY and brought his gf and her bb with him (Maesters are also supposed to be celibate like the ice wall guys). He’s in maester-training-camp which includes a lot of diarrhea, apparently. He’s like cleaning bedpans, putting back library books, and doing autopsies on the reg. JIM BROADBENT aka Prof. Slughorn from HP aka Harold from Moulin Rouge shows up and is like DON’T GO IN THE RESTRICTED SECTION OF THE LIBRARY, SAM (flashes of Harry Potter, amirightladies?) so of course Sam does. He sneaks some books home and finds out that “Dragonstone” which is a castle near King’s Landing that Khaleesi is heading towards, is built on top of heaps of “dragonglass” (which, I mean, could have guessed) so he’s like I gotta tell Bae since I know bb boi is trying to stock up on that. Also, there’s a brief scene when Khaleesi’s friend who had the turning-to-stone-disease (Stoney) is like in a hospital where Sam is working and is pops his stone-hand out and is like IS SHE HERE YET? Aka Stoney wants to know if Khaleesi has made it to Dragonstone yet, which WAIT TIL THE END OF THE EPISODE, DUDE.

WDTSEM? Especially the scene with Jim Broadbent (JB) is important because he talks about how the ice wall has always held up after centuries of zombie attacks and how empires rise and fall and just like go with the flow, Sam. My guess is that they’re bringing up how strong the ice wall is and how unlikely a zombie-attack really is because this is something that may actually happen now so we can really grasp how high the stakes are nowadays.

Before we get to Khaleesi, we have to check in on “The Hound” who’s walking around with those fire-worshipping dudes these days…

Is it just me or is man-bun guy kinda hot? So he and “The Hound” come across this farm house which the Hound is having some guilt about b/c last time he was in the hood he killed the girl and her dad who lived there. They find their bodies and everyone is like IDK who killed them but ugh… that’s life. And then the fire-worshipper-guys are like here look at this fire and remember the Hound hates fire because he got half of his face burned off as a kid. But he does look at the fire and has like a premonition of zombies going around the ice wall and attacking all the living people. Then he and hottie man bun bury the dead girl and her dad outside because the Hound feels #guilty for killing them I guess?

WDTSEM? Well the Hound used to be really murder-y but then he was saved by Ian McShane and his group of like Amish people (much like Harrison Ford in the film Witness) and decided to renounce violence. He used to work for QPC’s family and then kind of kidnapped Arya but also was not the worst to her (or to her sister for that matter) so if shit’s going down he could potentially be on the Stark side of things now.

Lastly, we check in with everyone’s fave kween and co, Khaleesi, who rolls up on Dragonstone with all her pals…

She hasn’t been to this side of the world since she was a wee babe so when she steps foot on the sand, she’s like give me a minute y’all. Then she walks into the castle and looks at the throne, which is NOT made of a bunch of swords but rather a slab of rock and is still pretty baller and walks right past it to head to the room with the giant map on it. Previously, Stannis and his friends lived there including sweet ole’ no-knuckles who is currently #teambae and he spent a lot of time strategizing and having sex with witches to produce demon babies on that table. Khaleesi looks around and then is like, let’s get it started in here #blackeyedpeas.

WDTSEM? Well, duh, cuz Khaleesi is in it and she is basically the Beyonce of GoT. But also because she has had this single-minded pursuit on the iron throne (chair made of swords where QPC is currently sitting) so you’d think she’d like take a minute to sit on this rock-slab-throne and savor the moment, but she (unlike QPC) knows that a true kween not only sits there, but also gets shit done. And I think this scene is supposed to contrast how #woke Khaleesi is compared to QPC. Both have giant maps and thrones now, but QPC is so out of touch that she has no time for strategy or listening to other people’s advice.

Final thoughts:

This ep was what the TV people call a “table setting” episode and it did just that. The drawback is that it was pretty boring. We just check in on all of our key players/places and see how everyone is doing which is normally quite helpful in GoT world. But the season 6 finale already did that for us, so it seems to be just an extension of that episode rather than something new and exciting. Now on to our superlatives...

Biggest surprise this ep: Sam is interning for JIM BROADBENT these days, which is pretty great. Also Ed Sheeran lives in GoT-world I guess which actually explains a lot.

Biggest letdown: We only get THREE WHOLE WORDS from Khaleesi in the entire ep!

Important fashion moments: Sansa’s new lacefront is NOT working for her. With this budget you’d think they could afford better wigs! Also, while I won’t miss the Mereen subplot, I will miss Khaleesi and co being in a warmer climate because she and her friends had some killer crop tops/ cut out dresses/ bright colors . Now that everyone is on the cold side of the world, we have much less #fashun.

Who died this ep? A bunch of Walder Frey’s main cronies

Check in next week when we’re promised someone will finally be strangling littlefinger so we may be rid of his creepy soliloquies soon! Thanks for reading tell your friends!

CORRECTION: After checking my sources, it seems like the Hound maybe didn’t kill the farmer dude and his daughter but instead stole their shit and so they were forced into the dire circumstances that led them to their death. So while it sounds like he didn’t kill them, he still feels guilty that he basically caused their deaths.

Also, I incorrectly ID’ed Bae as Khaleesi’s uncle a few times but actually she is his aunt I guess? Sorry to lead you astray!
