Although he gained notoriety from his appearance on the show, briefly changed his rap name from Riff Raff to MTV Riff Raff after it aired, and got the MTV logo tattooed on his neck, Riff Raff does not like to talk about From G's to Gents anymore: "They were going to have my name be Hector on the show and they weren't gonna let me wear my chain," he told me in an email last week. "I would like to never allow magazines to ask me about it at all, because that is to me what Rihanna is to Chris Brown. Nothing good came from it."

I was reading it and thinking "man this article's excruciating" so I stopped, scrolled up and saw who wrote it and I was like ah of course, markers

this is pretty excruciating:
"Holograms on my hand gave me a tanned wristDiamonds dancing on my fist look like a blank discTeriyaki suit with the lemon FantaHeavyweight, heartburn: Mylanta
The first line means that the diamonds in his jewelry look like holograms and reflect the sun to tan his wrist. The diamonds in his ring look like blank CDs. The last two lines are free-associative, but it seems like they're obliquely about a fat man."

His rhymes often owe more to Dr. Seuss than they do to Dr. Dre, and it's exciting to hear rappers rap like this, without concern for the boundaries of the genre.

"His rhymes often owe more to Dr. Seuss than they do to Dr. Dre" is not incorrect but is still the saddest piece of lol rap criticism ever written

1. Trying to get "behind the mask" of riff raff misses the point of riff raff 2. How on earth could you write a piece like that without acknowledging the giant elephant of RACE 3. Tko capone's "gucci louis" has many more times as many views as any riff raff song which makes me o_O at the disproportionate coverage but never underestimate media fascination with a cartoonish white rapper

tko capone is kinda interesting in his own right, but i think riff raff is much more interesting in many ways than capone, even if he doesn't have a "hit" with the views of "harry potter"

perhaps it'd be possible to put this theory to the test if Riff Raff made a song that was titled after an extremely famous pop culture phenomenon

soulja boy tweeted that riff raff is not on sodmg anymore (not that anyone really knows what the arrangement was in the first place) so riff raff started lightly trolling him on twitter i.e.
