Day69 - graduation day

"America's unhinged hormone warriors are never going to stop fighting for their right to party. Still, it's not too late to protest the viral contagion that has selected Tekashi 6ix9ine's Day 69 as the new soundtrack for that crucial rite of passage ... Shrieking about abusing women and drug-related violence, namechecking Bloods and Crips to affirm his hood credentials, he makes Migos sound like Maya Angelou ... Theresult, heard over Day 69`s 11 tracks - counting the stray "Gummo"remix featuring Offset - is a grim dud. Unlike similarly cartoonish figures,like Onyx or Waka Flocka Flame, 6ix9ine flashes no humor or attempts atphrase-making or, um, songwriting".

"With his abrasive social media presence, wacky rainbow hairstyle, murky backstory that involves pleading guilty to a charge of use of a child in a sexual performance and flip-flopping gang affiliations, his street cred going into this debut project was already shot more times than the sound effects that permeate his breakout "GUMMO" record ... It is what it is, people. If the mere sight of his name, his rap sheet or the audacity of his persona make you grit your teeth, DAY69 won't have you pledging allegiance to Scumgang anytime soon. The project won't convert nonbelievers of the thrash rap subgenre either. But for anyone seeking out the mudbank in an era where even diss records come with apologies 24 hours later, 6ix9ine just may be your guy".
