Becoming Riff Raff: How a White Suburban Kid Morphed Into Today's Most Enigmatic Rapper

[ThaRealness]

Mac Miller, Macklemore, Machine Gun Kelly and Yelawolf are the worst type of white rappers..

You can tell they unauthentic just from lookin at them or listenin to one or two of they songs

Call me old school but I just feel if you aint get brought up on certain music/genre or style of music then you shouldnt be making music for that style of music...

Machine gun kelly needs a drum set or guitar ... not a mic and some mike will made it beats..

who the fukk said those rappers weren't brought up on hip hop?

This story is kinda sad when you break it down. A man losing his soul is nothing you would want to dream of.

Nah not really man... What I got from this story is that Riff Raff used hip hop as a way to express himself

I wouldn't say that he's betraying his identity or anything. Riff Raff might have lived in the suburbs but clearly he's just a different kind of dude

Horst

hes a weird study, he has absolutely no kind of commercial success, cant rap very well, but he could book a show in any major city and get a nice check. his career makes little sense

@daze23 seems to have been embracing the ignorant as of late

I'll read this when I get home. I never got down w/ his music, but his antics are entertaining as fukk.

 

[JerkPork]

Years ago I was flipping through channels and caught him on that show "From G's to gents". Just thought he was a random actor and didn't think much of it.

Then years later I see him here.

all I did was post the article. I find Riff Raff comical though

Read it yesterday...long story short...he was a quiet middle class suburban kid that transformed himself into the Riff Raff character some time during his college aged years, moved to Houston proper and started doing whatever he could to get famous...he goes to great lengths to be vague about his background, but some of the parts he's mentioned seem to have been fabricated...he's now fully immersed into the Riff Raff character and has been for years, so I guess it doesn't really matter if it was originally a contrived minstrelsy creation of Horst Simco...he believes it and is in kayfabe 24/7
