[DJ Envy] Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We got a special guest in the building.
-Tekashi 6ix9ine. -Know that.
Young Tekashi 6ix9ine, what's happening, my brother?
[Adam 22] If you watched him on Breakfast Club,
you sorta understand how important
getting rich and famous was to him.
He almost, like, needed to do that
in order to become a fully realized human being.
Like, that-- like, having money and fame
was gonna completely change who he was as a person.
By the time that he was the biggest rapper,
he's going into The Breakfast Club
and doing things that I'd never seen anybody do.
Like, he-he runs that conversation
on those Breakfast Club interviews.
Like, he's-he's making Charlamagne--
no offense to Charlamagne-- he's kind of making Charlamagne
look like an amateur interviewer.
I don't dislike your music.
I'm just concerned about you as an individual--
I think you need to stop being concerned about me
and be concerned for someone else.
You're 21, and you got influence over these kids,
and I think that you might be
putting the wrong things in these kids' heads...
But nah, I'm not, blood. You know what...
As far as being tough and being a gangster.
I think all y'all see is what y'all wanna see.
[Adam 22] Charlamagne's just not able
to really control the flow of the conversation,
and Charlamagne's probably, like,
the best rap interviewer,
and 6ix9ine is, like, basically
just dominating the conversation
and making the conversation go exactly where he wanted.
I'm sure that Charlamagne had a list of questions
in front of him that didn't get asked,
because he's-he's controlling that shit.
[Charlamagne] Pastor, please pray for the brother Tekashi.
Like, they put their hands on him.
No, we gonna pray. I'ma say a prayer for you.
Hey, I'ma hold your hand, I'ma hold your hand.
Hold your hand, hold your hand.
Now, they gonna mean this. They gonna mean this, okay?
This is gonna be a meme.
Father, I'm just so grateful for the chance right now
to pray for Tekashi 6ix9ine.
[man] Tekashi! Tekashi!
[pastor] Thank you, Father, that he has a life
that can make a huge difference
for a lot of people.
[man] Yo! My nigga Tekashi, yo!
[pastor] Lord, I pray you'll keep him well,
you'll keep him strong, you'll keep him healthy.
Help him to make wise and good decisions
so that he can fulfill all of that potential
that you've given him.
[crowd cheering]
Lord, I just ask right now for those who he loves,
his little girl, Father, people in this world,
that you will also bless them.
We thank you for him, and thank you, Father,
for all you're doing in and through his life as well.
In Jesus' name, amen.
dramatic music
I cannot even begin to express how insane what...
seems like is happening to me, so...
you guys are gonna have to, uh, stick with me.
How do I look? It's ten o'clock.
I'm going to the motherfucking meeting that I came here for.
We're officially in the bodega buying beer
at 1:30 in the morning.
So that's how we're doing it for 2017.
All right, I just realized that the motherfucker
with green hair has 20,000 followers
and, like, actually has views on his shit,
so we need an introduction to your rap career.
-Yeah, you know. -Let's hear about it.
You know, young Tekashi 6ix9ine hit with--
Oh, now I get it, 'cause mad people
were tweeting at me like,
"Are you meeting up with Tekashi 6ix9ine?"
And I didn't know what that meant,
'cause I was only talking to him.
-Oh, yeah. -Oh, okay, now I understand.
[man] Yeah, we fuck with each other.
-Yeah, yeah. -[Adam 22] Oh, all right.
6ix9ine was so thirsty to do an interview with me.
Constantly doing weird shit to try to get into my-my,
you know, peripheral awareness.
Let's film it. Okay, here we go.
Young STD Boy, you already know that shit.
There's a video I'm gonna link that this fool has
that is, like, pfft, crazy video.
Finally meets me, and then he's bugging me
for the interview over and over and over,
and then finally he does the song with Trippie.
And it seemed like he had a little bit of momentum
going right then, and it sorta seemed like it made sense.
Like, okay, let's do this interview at that time.
No Jumper, Coolest Podcast in the World,
and today we got Tekashi 6ix9ine in this bitch.
-How you doing, bro? -'Sup, bro?
You know, it's Tekashi 6ix9ine.
It's been a long time coming, and you got a whole crazy wave
of buzz going on right now,
and I'm not sure exactly how it happened,
but you definitely have a fucking defined aesthetic.
Like, there's something very, very new going on with you.
To be totally honest, and this is gonna sound
really petty and stuff, but when I first met him,
he had, like, terrible acne,
and then I seen him a couple months later,
and he's got, like, every face tattoo.
The way he looked when I seen him
and then the way he looked when we did that interview,
it was like, he had gotten it together a lot more
in terms of his whole presentation.
Shirt coming off.
I mean, nobody's done that since XXX, I don't think.
-Yo, bro, what? What? -Lit.
Take the shirt off during the interview.
Oh, oh, nah, I just-- I was getting mad hot.
You want me to put the shirt back on?
No, no, it's great. I love it.
-All right. -Sex appeal.
Every, like, young artist is a work in progress,
and that is kind of a lesson I guess I learned from 6ix9ine
is, like, when you're evaluating a new artist,
in terms of, like, how they're presenting themselves,
you have to realize that a lot of that can change.
I feel like people now is just like,
"I don't like Tekashi 6ix9ine,"
because they don't understand what's Tekashi 6ix9ine.
Who is Tekashi 6ix9ine?
They don't understand that shit.
They're scared of it, you know what I'm saying?
That's how this music industry is.
They're scared to take the chance.
I feel like the days of them not being willing
to take a chance on you are kind of coming
to a slow point, though, because in particular,
I feel like New York, like, there is such a lane right now
for somebody in New York who's doing something different,
because it's like, New York started hip-hop,
but there's just not-- like, New York has sorta
missed out on the whole, like, new wave of, like,
interesting rappers.
It's all coming from Florida
and maybe even Atlanta and shit,
but it's not, like-- New York needs that guy,
and I kind of think you can, like, be that guy.
Like, you're already making amazing music and--
You know what I'm saying, I am that guy.
[Seqo] Tekashi was the fastest-popping artist
in the world.
He needed us at the time,
and we was just willing to put our minds together,
and plan was to get big, start the label.
Made a name for the label, Treyway.
This is, uh, what we call in jail a hope book.
This book is just about someone joining, know what I'm saying,
a certain life, and it's titled Trey Way.
This is, um, where I based my idea
for the, uh, record label.
Shit 'bout to be lit, you hear me? Treyway.
[Seqo] The plan was to build an empire,
know what I'm saying, the money was gonna come.
I didn't wanna just have street rap or-or--
you know what I'm saying,
I wanted to have some diversity.
[DJ] 6ix9ine is in the building.
I feel like you snuck up on us.
We're gonna take over the world.
We bringing New York back, know what I mean?
We trying to, like, unite New York,
-know what I'm saying, again. -[DJ] Okay.
'Cause New York, they ain't had that in a minute.
We were all about building Danny's shit first.
It's crazy, 'cause I held off on even being an artist.
I was helping the situation.
It was bigger than-- bigger than me,
and I knew it'd be bigger for the label,
which, you know what I'm saying, is my label.
[DJ] I see you got unity up here.
-You got your homies up here. -Yeah, I got Seqo Billy.
-You know what I'm saying? -Treyway.
Everything went smooth.
Everything's going according to plan.
[Billy] Fire, 14 million.
We down here in Atlanta, Georgia.
[all cheering]
[overlapping chatter]
Seqo, where you at, bro?
We all the way down here from Brooklyn, New York.
-Treyway. -We just got here yesterday.
Treyway.
tense music
[Ron] It's a very romanticized culture, gangs.
A lot of entertainers know in this business
that it adds a lot of clout to you.
It's just a marketing tool used by musicians
that can get their name out there very fast,
and it makes you a lot of money.
Gangsta party, that's a Fendi fact
Weed rolled, where the Henny at
Billy up, Billy dat
[Ron] Nine Trey, they knew darn well, number one,
they were getting a lot more clout on the streets.
"Kooda."
[Ron] Everybody was intrigued by this,
and you had people wondering about this lifestyle.
Everybody wanted to know, you know, what is this Nine Trey?
What is this Blood stuff?
Rikers Island has always been ground zero for gangs
on the East Coast and New York State.
In the early '90s,
you had a group called the Latin Kings
who were the power group in Rikers Island.
You saw a war, a power struggle
between Latino inmates and African American inmates.
Because of this power struggle,
what they did was, they formed the UBN.
The UBN is the United Blood Nation.
You know, the Nine Trey gangsters
were sort of known as the originators
because '93 was the year that they birthed
in Rikers Island.
And every time somebody says Nine Trey,
they think Rikers Island in 1993, first Bloods set.
When Tekashi started getting
that label of being a Nine Trey,
it was already to a point where the Bloods
were just looking to make money.
Having somebody who was a non-African American
involved in that group, that was the norm by then.
They saw the sensation he was becoming.
They saw the attraction that he was becoming.
And when you see that,
it's sorta like dollar signs are blinging.
It's like, you know, "Well,
what can we do for this individual?
What can this individual do for us?"
You can get money from the [indistinct],
and you can put that back on the streets.
It could be illegal.
Most of the time with gangs, it is illegal.
You know, buying more drugs and selling more drugs.
Buying ammunition. Buying weapons.
And put that right on the streets
and triple that money that you just had.
[Billy] Armed robbery, home invasion,
kidnapping, assault,
possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.
All type of, like, little extra dumb shit
I can't even remember.
I ended up going to prison for a long time,
and I can talk about it and stuff
'cause it's something that I went through
and I've been through and I served time,
paid my debt to society, and I'm out,
so I can speak about it.
Before I was locked up,
I never really cared about much
or ventured out into learning different things,
but in there, it's more like,
you have a lot of time to do stuff.
Either you can do stupid stuff,
or you can choose your time,
and I choosed a lot of them years
to do stupid stuff and not caring,
and then after a while, I was like, "Man, I'm getting older.
This stuff ain't getting-- like, you're not--you-you--
like, you really not gonna get a G--at least a GED?"
So I started reading a lot of books,
watching, like, the History Channel
and Animal Planet
and just stuff like that, learning about different stuff
that I didn't even know about,
like the Bermuda Triangle, Area 51,
just different stuff on Earth.
I was like, "Oh, shit, this is kind of interesting."
dramatic music
There's a fucking place in the middle of the ocean,
I read it was, like, in 1952 or something like that,
and they were flying over, like, a routine,
like, exercise or whatever, and two of them just vanished.
They vanished off the radar, they vanished off everything,
and, yo, they made it a zone from then on.
I was like, "Oh, this shit is interesting,"
so I just started learning about mad shit.
upbeat electronic music
[Giancarlo] ...would cause ships and planes
to disappear...
[Billy] On the other hand, you know,
I'm real cranky, I got attitude problems.
You know what I mean? I hate authority.
I don't listen to nobody.
I-I'm more prone to an-anger and violence than other shit,
'cause I'm forced to.
Just imagine growing up where everybody's mad.
Somebody's serving ten, 20, life, five, seven years.
Everybody--nobody really gives a fuck, know what I'm saying?
The littlest thing is, "Oh, you trying to play me?
I gotta protect my manhood.
I gotta show everybody I'm hard
so nobody fucks with me, fuck that.
The first person who, you know, comes at me crazy.
I don't care if he owes me a 39-cent soup.
I'ma try to make an example out of him."
[man] You pick the name yet for the record?
Y'all can't pull up out here, though, that's a fact.
Wherever my boy at is lit at.
Y'all already know my body, y'all know what's up with me.
Y'all know how to give it up out here, Red-Stuy.
Billy [indistinct], Billy Ado, you heard?
The Bloods was his security.
We was everything, played all the roles.
But nobody gonna touch you.
You the artist. There's no way.
I'm gonna back you regardless, you know what I mean,
just like everybody else would back me.
No, it's on. Stop playing.
Stop playing. Y'all know it's on.
I seen him,
and his hair wasn't even rainbow at that time.
Then when he came back and dyed it rainbow,
I was like, "What the fuck is up with this dude?"
Seqo telling us he got this song,
it's pretty up-tempo, it's lit,
and it's like-- it's pretty, like, scream rap,
some kind of rock and roll thing,
but it's kind of rap and it's kind of hard-core, it's lit.
A week later, I get a call from Seqo,
and I'm like, "Yo, remember that video we shot?"
He's like, "Yo, it's at a million views, bro."
I'm like, "You fucking lying.
That video we shot on the block
is at a million-- so you mean to tell me
a million people just seen me in a video?"
I was hype as hell.
Thirty days later, it had 50 million views.
All my niggas really gangbang
Talk that damn slang, rap about it
Do the same thing, let your nuts hang
We gon' pull up, nigga, andalé, on Sangre
We post up, we don't do the race
You gon' die today
[DJ Pvnch] You're using the big camera.
-I almost died. -[man] You want another chair?
I just almost died.
[man] You want a different chair, or are you good?
Nah, it's lit. I think it's lit.
Fuck it, we lit.
Tekashi was really known as, like, a YouTube rapper.
The difference of all of those guys
were they would have millions of views,
but it never felt real,
because those were, like, Internet enigmas.
So people would look at it like,
"Oh, that's, like, one of the Internet rappers
or the SoundCloud dudes."
It would almost be, like, a dismissive thing.
In the famous words of my friends,
a lot of you DJs won't be here.
Y'all can't be here.
I was big in the DJ shit at that point already.
I was trying to reach out to 'em.
They was trying to reach out to me.
It looked really exciting.
[indistinct chatter]
I'm street, but I'm not gang.
I've just been surrounded by it my whole life.
Yo, let me tell y'all something real quick.
6ix9ine in the building.
We in New York, we invading.
Nobody better than Tekashi 6ix9ine
to give it to 'em.
You know what they keep asking?
They say, "Yo, Pvnch, what you doing with 6ix9ine?"
I think it's time to make a nice announcement, man.
You know what I'm saying, Pvnch is our official DJ,
you know what I'm saying, for the 69-city fucking tour,
-you know what I'm saying? -Get it, get it.
-What! -Treyway!
[DJ Pvnch] Get around Tekashi, and you go,
"This kid has a spark about him,"
but we didn't know where it was going yet.
It was just moving fast, and it's like, "Yo, just jump on."
And when I jumped on, I didn't lag it.
I didn't pull it off the tracks,
I didn't do nothing, but I was like,
"Okay, cool, now we gonna get a direction."
Hypebeast-Hypebeast posted that--
yo, it was Virgil, and then Hypebeast literally--yeah.
-Yeah. -So Virgil played it?
-Brooklyn. -Huh?
Virgil played it?
New York, the vibe is back. Let's hit it, Brooklyn.
Catch my man Shotti on the camera, man.
Bring up the big dog, man.
If y'all see him around, you already know what time it is.
[DJ Pvnch] I go, "That's Shotti?"
"Yeah, that's Shotti," and I'm just like,
"Okay. Why is Shotti here?"
They're like, "Oh, Shotti's down with the team."
I'm just like, "Oh, shit," 'cause everybody knows Shotti.
Shotti's Shotti.
Um, first of all, I wanna say to all my haters
that, you know, I really appreciate y'all, 'cause, um...
[DJ Pvnch] Shotti's name was ringing throughout Brooklyn.
It's the streets, man.
You start to hear these-these Marvel, DC-like stories, man.
That's the big dog, man. People know Shotti.
[Ron] Shotti was an older gentleman,
mid-30s at the time, that had that name on the streets.
So think of Shotti as somebody like a Derek Jeter, you know?
You don't have to be a Yankee fan to know who Derek Jeter is
'cause every time you talk about the Yankees,
everybody would talk about Derek Jeter
'cause he was the star on the team.
[Tekashi] Scary. That's scary.
[laughter]
The Billy, Seqo Billy, Teflon.
-Look at the future. -Treyway.
Treyway, it's the future right here.
Seqo Billy, know what I'm saying, [indistinct].
Family's here.
New York is strong, and we back, man.
Niggas runnin' out they mouth but they never pop out
I got the drop on your spot, everybody watch out
All my niggas on 50, so you know we hopped out
Mobbed out, opps out, we gon' show what we about
All my niggas really gangbang
Talk that damn slang, rap about it
Do the same thing, let your nuts hang
We gon' pull up, nigga, andalé, on Sangre
We post up, we don't do the race
You gon' die today
[gunshots]
You, Chris, you think it need a third hook?
Why you smiling like that?
-It's hard, right? -You know what I mean?
Yeah, that shit gonna go, bro.
What'd you think, it should be shorter, though?
Yeah.
-It's beautiful. -It's dope, yeah. It flows.
[man] Let me hear that one more time.
gentle music
[Brendan] Music discovery happens differently now.
By, like, the early 2010s,
you start to see actual streaming services.
The streaming economy,
it just changes the whole paradigm.
If you want someone to pay attention to your song,
you need to get in and get out.
Kid in Ohio, they have literally
millions of options of things to listen to.
You got, like, ten seconds.
The short songs thing mostly came out of SoundCloud
and SoundCloud rap.
Tekashi figured this out.
He decided to capitalize on it.
He definitely knows his skills.
SoundCloud's the biggest platform right now for music.
That's where the Lil Pumps come,
the XXXTentacions.
-Who else? -That's you.
-All the new shit. -Rock star [indistinct].
You.
All right, let's play this shit.
You can [indistinct].
Just name it, um-- just name it "Kooda" for now.
[DJ Pvnch] The music was just a new--it was a new sound.
I was blown away.
Said, "How the fuck did he do this?"
He's like, "If short music is connecting with people"--
Tekashi was always keen and aware,
and Tekashi's a tech kid.
dramatic electronic music
[Tekashi] If you don't get in tune
to what the Internet is,
the Internet is a powerful thing.
The Internet literally showed artists
all you need is a fucking phone.
With this device, you can make a million dollars.
With this device, you can make a billion dollars.
[Giancarlo] Every supervillain has their go-to weapon,
the thing that enables them to carry out their agenda.
Darth Vader had the lightsaber...
[screams]
[Giancarlo] ...and the Joker, the crowbar,
the old-school pistol, the mystery card,
all of which had their own purpose:
some to straight-up kill
and others to intimidate.
Here's my card.
[Giancarlo] So when it comes to our supervillain,
his weapon of choice is perhaps
the most dangerous and effective of them all:
the cell phone.
Seems harmless, right?
Remember, Tekashi was a tech kid,
someone who understood the digital age
and how to use these little devices
to move their agenda forward
every single time.
You got the whole Internet in a frenzy,
the Worldstar, the [indistinct]--
Bro, I got-- right now, no funny shit,
shout out every artist from New York.
But literally right now, nobody got nothing
on Tekashi 6ix9ine, 6ix9ine.
Nobody got nothing on Tekashi 6ix9ine.
I love this talk.
tense music
My phone is ringing off every single day.
Every single club is calling me.
Everybody wants it.
[Seqo] When we first started going to clubs,
he started seeing the reaction
that we was getting when we was going out.
[indistinct].
[Seqo] We're getting love from strippers.
We're getting love from the celebrities.
We're getting love from other niggas.
He like, "Damn, like, I'm really in this."
Now he probably telling himself, like,
"Damn, I gotta act the part now."
Treyway!
[DJ Pvnch] He was Treyway at that point.
That momentum, ooh,
we're talking about something unreal, man.
[Seqo] Shit, the energy was turned.
Like, it was lit.
Everywhere we went, it was packed.
I was getting crazy.
I was behaving crazy. [chuckles]
[crowd cheering]
[Billy] Hell yeah, he feel like he on top of the world.
You in the club, got a pocketful of money,
your music is lit.
He was going to the top.
[indistinct yelling]
Treyway!
[Seqo] This shit is gonna work.
That was in my head.
It was-it was-it was--I mean, it was in plain sight.
[indistinct chatter]
When I was locked up,
every night before I went to sleep in my cell,
I used to dream about that shit.
[DJ Pvnch] These guys, they were trying to do better.
I know that my guys were trying to do better.
[crowd cheering]
[Billy] Life in Brooklyn, you know what I'm saying,
really hard growing up where I'm from, you know what I mean,
growing up in, like, poverty and violence,
not because people want to be in poverty
and they just want to do violence.
They just have no choice.
Turn the lights on.
And it was gonna get crazy.
You don't-- this shit was about to be--
this shit was about to be brazy, man.
This shit was about to be brazy.
dramatic music
Everything was building,
and it was doing-- it was doing so very fast.
I was like, "We should involve people that we're close to
who could be an asset to us."
I already know, gotta feed the wolves,
gotta feed the dogs.
So I tried to involve Shotti in the plan,
because he was a close figure to the family.
So tried to put him on
in a managerial position,
and he started-- he started soaking it up.
Look at this shit. Look at this shit.
Look at this shit.
In a minute, it can get nasty, but we keep it calm, you heard?
In a minute, it can get nasty.
Y'all better let us in, [indistinct].
[indistinct chatter]
Yo, hold up.
Relax, yo. We good--we good tonight, boy.
Relax.
[music playing faintly]
[DJ Pvnch] In New York, we got, like,
a whole police task force.
They call it the hip-hop police,
and they at all our parties.
We see the same cop, like--
we go in the Bronx, go to Queens,
go to Brooklyn, go to Manhattan,
and it's the same, like, ten cops.
And they know everybody. "Pvnch, what's going on?"
I'll be like, "Ah, what's good?"
[pounding hip-hop music playing]
The hip-hop police, they be out,
and no matter where you at, if it's a lit rap event
or-or urban event--
you know, I guess that's the popular,
you know, clean way to say it--they there.
I bring that kid in the club.
They're like, "Yo, what's going on?
What's up?
See a lot of gang activity. What's going on?"
So I'm like, "Yo, everything is cool.
This is just for the rap. It's just for the YouTube.
There's no beef happening. Everything is cool."
[Ron] That's the new wave in policing.
That's the newest and only way
police can stay up on what's going on,
because what they do is, they hire individuals
that know who to look for.
They know who high-profile people are.
Certain departments have the players right on a list.
Makes policing easier.
[DJ Pvnch] Tekashi started making so much money,
and that's when he stopped caring about learning,
and he just was awesome, "I'm making money.
I'm the hottest rapper in the game."
And it starts to just get really messy,
'cause you're so excited for the moment
versus being careful and cautious.
Yo, out here every day with it.
Brooklyn, Billy Ado, you know what I'm saying?
Red-Stuy, you already know what it is. [trills]
Gang, gang, gang.
-Yo, let these cars pass him. -[man] Fuck.
[Billy] I loved the attention.
I loved everything that was going on.
Every time we was outside, it was a movie,
you know what I'm saying?
Nobody had seen such a big, large group of people
that's just only them and they're lit.
[excited chatter]
[DJ Pvnch] This is something that
a lot of niggas could never imagine this'd happen.
There's so much gang in one building.
[Billy] I helped him choreographer the videos.
We was everything. Man, just setting stuff up.
Getting the camera, getting tribes joining him out there,
making sure we got the corners of the blocks blocked off
so nothing happens while we're shooting this video.
[hip-hop music blaring]
Back it up, y'all.
-Easy, easy. -Back it up, back it up.
[man] Just keep backing up, just keep backing up.
Yo, Chris, hold her. Hold her.
[indistinct chatter]
Yo, back up, back up, back up, back up.
Give him a scene by himself.
Yo, back up. Back up, y'all.
Back up. Do your thing. Do your thing.
[overlapping chatter]
[rapping indistinctly]
[Billy] There's no way he could've choreographed
that video by himself, impossible.
How could he? He doesn't know these Bloods.
He doesn't--he's a young kid
from Bushwick, Brooklyn, you know?
He got them real Bloods with him.
Big gang members here.
There's a lot of gang shit, man.
-Gang, gang, gang. -[imitating machine gun fire]
We bringing back Dipset. We bringing back G-Unit.
[indistinct chatter]
My nigga Drew at?
-My nigga Drew at? -Look, look, look, look.
My boy, drive through, man.

Loyalty just means to me
being down for somebody
or something or a group or whatever
with everything you got.
You don't lie, you don't steal,
you don't play games.
You honest with them, right or wrong.
Even if you think it's gonna hurt their feelings,
you still just tell 'em what it is,
you know what I mean,
and just be true to you
and everybody that you around, you know what I'm saying?
If you say you love somebody, love somebody.
If you say you don't fuck with nobody,
don't fuck with that person, you know what I mean?
So it's protecting each other.
It's just us we got in here. You're not letting no--
letting nobody disrespect us or nothing.
We just in our own zone, you know what I mean?
[man] Everybody get in a circle.
Everybody get their shot. Everybody get their face on.
[indistinct chatter]
Give everybody their space here, unh.
Just throw that shit up as we go along too, man.
[Seqo] "Billy Dat" video, 6ix9ine wanted to shoot it.
So I'm like, "All right, dope, that's fire.
You just shot-- say you just did a video--
We did the video for you.
Now you wanna shoot it. That's fire, that's love.
All right, I'm jacking that."
[man] Wait, over here, walk around, come on.
-Billy dat. -Time to go.
[Seqo] We shot the whole day.
We shot it in my hood, up the block from the crib.
So he took-- he got a lot of footage.
tense music
When I look back,
he just did a lot of things behind people's back.
It's like he was just manipulating things.
[engine revving]
[indistinct chatter]
[engine revving]
How you doing, son? Six, what we doing?
Behind the scenes?
Yeah, fucking "Keke" video shoot,
you know what I'm saying?
This shit about to be a real movie.
We going three for three on the charts.
-I love it. -You know what I'm saying?
Now, there are scenes in that video
that are in "Billy Dat" video
that he didn't put in the video.
So basically he just, know what I'm saying,
stole the ideas from the "Billy Dat" video
and threw them in his video.
[Billy] They shot that video in the same time,
and you can just be like, "Damn.
They got similar scenes from Seqo's video."
That shit hit home.
So I hit Ebro up over text and I said,
"Yo, I think we should have Tekashi on the show."
[Joe] I have been forced to pay attention now,
and, uh, kind of like the kid, man.
-That's how I feel. -[laughs]
[man] 6ix9ine is booming right now.
Listen, you have to sit down with 6ix9ine.
I have to.
Shout out to my fucking fans. It's fucking Treyway.
Ain't nobody tougher than us, man.
Ain't nobody doing shit like we doing, nigga.
I promise you.
Ain't nobody in the industry
fucking with this mob right here, nobody.
We the mob, nigga.
We the mob, nigga. [indistinct], nigga.
[excited shouting]
[all] Happy birthday
Dear Saraiyah
Happy birthday to you
[all cheering]
[indistinct chatter]
Hey, you know, we rocking.
You know, happy birthday to my daughter, you already know,
turned two and all that shit.
[indistinct]
Yeah, I thought this fat-ass bitch
was gonna leave me.
He my biggest hater.
He don't like the attention I get.
Sara, you don't got no attention.
I get attention.
What talents do you have?
I don't have to have a talent to get attention.
The fuck are you talking about?
What talent do you have?
I have a lot of talent in the world
to bring me to this level of fame.
"Of fame."
[Sara] I was just happy.
My daughter's healthy. I have a kid.
I went from sleeping on floors with him,
having no money,
to paying for passports for him to travel,
selling out arenas, getting recognition.
[crowd cheering]
And it hit him overnight, and it hit him fast,
and it hit him hard.
[Harvey] Tekashi 6ix9ine also went to the White House.
No, no, it was a strip club. I'm sorry.
-[Charles] It was a strip club. -[Harvey] Sorry about that.
Tekashi's throwing money,
I presume at strippers,
and someone gets offended and throws some--
and then glasses start flying.
Keep an eye on the woman,
uh, who's standing right next to Tekashi.
tense music
[Sara] I'm seeing on TMZ him posted up with a girl,
and they're getting into a fight at a strip club.
It made me insecure.
It made me feel like I didn't measure up
to this standard or type of woman.
I was like, "This is a phase.
He don't know how to handle fame."
At some point, I thought it would grow old.
That will wear off of you,
and you'll realize this is more.
A home, a house,
your daughter, your family, me.
Y'all should know,
if y'all wanna know the truth about Sara,
y'all won't even be fans if I tell you the real truth.
If y'all wanna know the truth about him,
y'all would never, ever be friends, ever, ever.
Look at him.
[sirens wailing]
[Brendan] I worked on the feature
that we published for about four or five months,
but it started less as,
um, the story it became
because so much happened
from, like, the beginning
of the reporting process to the end.
And so we started looking at it
primarily as a legal story.
Before Tekashi gets famous,
he was involved in a child sex charge.
He is doing a lot of the stuff
that he would continue to do once he becomes famous,
which is, like, try to get attention
by broadcasting the most outrageous shit he can do
onto the Internet.
The child sex charge involves a 13-year-old
performing sex acts on someone who is not Tekashi
but Tekashi filming it and posting it on his Snapchat.
He gets arrested, charged,
and put under probation.
He got out of prison, but through his whole rise,
it's something that he tries not to address
for most of the beginning of his career, um,
and maintains that he-- he just--
he, like, honestly just lies about it quite a bit.
At the time when we first heard about it,
he told us, "We didn't have no paperwork.
We didn't know what happened. We wasn't there."
It's like, when I asked, I was like,
"What's up with this rape shit, bro?"
And he like, "Yo, bro, I was in somebody crib,
and they had some young girl in there."
"And they brought the girls over here.
They start shaking their ass.
You know, we slapping them and stuff.
The girl was 13. She said she was 19.
It was cool. They was talking.
How was I supposed to know?"
That's why he had got locked up.
Earlier before that, he had got released.
I don't know how or what, mm-mm-mm.
Know what I'm saying, he-he did some-some wild shit.
Some shit--just wild shit. It ain't make sense.
It just ain't make sense.
We looking at it like, "Yo, damn,
you might be right, you know?"
And it didn't happen like that
when we found out the true story in the paper
when it came out and everything, you know?
And that was years later after, you know, we find it,
and it was like, "Oh, shit.
This fucking little bastard."
[horns honking]
[Brendan] When you're a music journalist,
your job is to cover the music industry,
and your job is to cover, like, what's popular
and what people need to know about.
Suddenly, he's so popular that you kind of
have to have a conversation
about whether you cover him or not.
I think the instinct is, you don't want to look--
make it a cosign.
You don't really want to write about a guy
who has child sex charges against him.
You don't want, like, more people to become aware of him
because of the words that you-you put on a page,
um, and I think that's something that a lot of, like,
conscientious journalists wrestle with all the time.
It would be a little hubristic
for anyone in the music industry
to suggest that, like, we could cancel somebody.
The audience always decides.
[Adam 22] I don't think that there's anybody
who writes about music that has any, like,
legitimate influence at this point.
Pitchfork ignoring 6ix9ine is not gonna do fucking anything
because 99 percent of 6ix9ine's audience
have never even heard of Pitchfork.
You don't--you wanna calm down at a certain point
with the getting head on Instagram and everything,
because at a certain point, it's like,
"Oh, this Instagram is a big way
that I'm promoting my music."
I stopped talking to him,
like, stopped responding to his texts and stuff
because of the fact that he lied
about the child sex case or whatever,
like, on my interview.
In my interview that I did with him,
I asked him, I'm like, "There's all these comments,
all these people saying that you basically
had a situation with this little girl, blah, blah, blah."
And he just straight up said, like, "Never happened."
He's like, "Look my name up.
Like, look my--Google my name,
Daniel Hernandez, blah, blah, blah."
Like, as if you could learn anything
from Googling Daniel Hernandez.
There's probably, like, 8,000 people in New York named that.
Look me up, my name is Daniel Hernandez.
D-A-N-I-E-L, space, H-E-R-N-A-N-D-E-Z.
And so he basically-- he said that you were
messing around with underage girls or something?
That's a fact, you know what I'm saying?
-Okay, and that wasn't true? -That was not true, bro,
you know what I'm saying?
[Adam 22] With 6ix9ine, it's like he's constantly lying.
He's constantly doing shitty things.
He's constantly doing stuff that--
it's like, he's so bad, he's so lacking in moral--
in a moral compass that it's impossible
to convince the public to really dwell
on any specific thing.
My name is--my full name is Daniel Hernandez.
I'ma put it right there in the camera.
Look me up.
[Adam 22] I mean, 6ix9ine is Trump.
Because if the media had as much power
as it did previously,
then he would basically cease to exist,
but he has his own platform.
He doesn't need any of that help, really.
I think 6ix9ine understands the power of that platform
more than almost anybody.
[Tekashi] Donald Trump, I think he's
a good-ass fucking president.
People don't understand that Donald Trump,
he doesn't paint a picture for the media.
He doesn't hold his tongue.
And that's what the fuck he does,
you know what I'm saying?
I like people like that.

[Giancarlo] We live in an era of misinformation.
Literally fake news.
-Fake news. -Fake news.
-Fake news. -Fake.
-Fake. -Fake.
-Fake. -Fake.
[Giancarlo] There can be clear-cut
physical evidence...
[reporter] More than a dozen women
have accused President Trump of groping them
or other types of sexual misconduct...
[Giancarlo] ...firsthand testimony from witnesses...
[woman] He just started grabbing me and...
[woman] ...had his hand on my leg.
[Giancarlo] ...stacks of court documents
describing everything in detail...
[Anderson] ...New York Times was a total fake.
It's a fake newspaper.
[Giancarlo] ...and even tapes of you admitting fault.
[Donald] And when you're a star, they let you do it.
You can do anything. Grab 'em by the pussy.
[voices swirling]
[woman] Deny, deny, deny.
[Giancarlo] But it's all irrelevant
if you understand how to control the narrative.
These claims are all fabricated.
They're pure fiction.
[Giancarlo] Being a supervillain today
is about propaganda...
And they're outright lies.
[Giancarlo] ...to distract us all
from what's really going on.
All you see when you see his fans defending him,
it's always, "Look at how big these numbers are.
You're just a hater. Look how big he is.
Blah, blah, blah." And it's like--
it's, like, a refusal to have
an honest conversation about it.
Yo, fans are something special.
A fan in reality,
a real fan,
becomes so disillusioned
to the person that they love and admire
that they can't accept fault or mistake by them.

You can't take away that there was a high level
of talent and charisma and star factor to this kid.
[crowd cheering]
What he does, the energy,
he really, really performs his ass off,
and he risks a lot to get the best show possible.
[crowd roaring]
I said are y'all ready?
Very mosh-like. It's rock and roll.
It's--
You can't take it away.

it's, like, self-threatening.

The show was put together really tightly.
It's a whole workout.
[crowd roaring]
He comes out running.
Run, whoo, whoo, whoo.
Dives into the crowd.
Comes back, pull back the song.
Start the record again. Runs, runs, runs.
Does the second record. Runs, runs, runs.
Takes off one of his shirts. Runs, runs, runs.
Take off his pants. Goes into the crowd.
Does this whole shit.
Comes back bruised, sometimes bloody,
all of this shit.
'Cause they're pulling on him, pulling his hair.
Like, their favorite artist is, like, sweating on them.
You know, the fan mindset is crazy.
[crowd cheering]
6ix9ine, I mean, his audience, they don't give a fuck,
and he has his own platform,
so it's like, he doesn't need anybody to put him on a show
or to-to hire him for anything.
He's able to just put his own stuff out like that.
I think cancel culture often backfires.
[high-pitched voice] Ha, look at me.
Flawless. [laughs]
I'm such a happy rapist, and I'm free.
[chuckles]
[Seqo] Trolling was the-- was the main thing
to help with his marketing.
Just the trolling and saying off-the-wall shit
just to get the people to listen.
Whether they feel good about it or bad about it,
the fact that they listened mattered.
[Billy] He had his marketing strategies
to times he used to wait to post Instagram stuff.
He knew what to say, how to post,
what to do in videos,
how to get people attention to stuff.
It's like his character, you know?
It's like he goes into character, you know?
He goes into Tekashi 6ix9ine.
[intense whirring]
I just wanna let y'all know,
be careful who you shit on, you know what I'm saying?
Tables turn, bridges burn, and lessons learn,
you know what I'm saying?

Um, let's take a listen to this.

This is a tough business, to run for president.
Oh, I know, you're a tough guy, Jeb, I know.
And we need to have a leader that is--
-Real tough. -You're never gonna be
president of the United States by insulting your way
-to the presidency. -Well, let's see, I'm at 42,
and you're at three, so so far, I'm doing better.
Little homies, man. Look to the left of me.
-Look to the right of me. -We outside.
-We outside. Oh! -And we coming to LA.
[DJ Pvnch] It's like a magician.
The trick is happening in the off hand,
and I'm like, "Everybody, look right here."
And everyone actually looks.
"Stare at my hand.
Stare at my hand. Don't stop looking."
Yo, I got a lot of people mad right now.
Like, I know they, like-- they looking at their phone
right now like-- [laughs]
[Brendan] Beef is part of hip-hop.
Always has been.
People got more worked up about it
because he wanted people to be worked up about it.
It was also adapted for Instagram.
It was not, like, songs that went back and forth.
He was just filming himself yelling at people.
It was more designed to piss everyone off than-than usual.
It's not, like, a mano-a-mano situation.
He's-he's spraying all over the place.
Luda, Luda, Luda,
you bum-ass pussy-ass

Suck my fucking dick.

Fuck 6ix9ine, nigga. Yeah.
Yo, I don't know how more disrespectful can I get.
YG, suck my fucking dick, stupid.
No, 99.9 percent of y'all rappers
is fucking bitch-ass niggas,
and y'all can all suck my fucking dick.
Do not beef with me if you're not ready to get disrespected,
'cause I'm a disrespectful-ass kid.
I will tell you suck my dick with your mother's lips,
and nobody give a fuck if you put up a post saying,
"Damn, bro, my mother's dead." I don't give a fuck.
I'm standing on suck my dick
with your mother's lips still, nigga.
In a way, he like a-like a- like a little mad-ass genius.
In a way, yeah.
'Cause, he--yeah, he perfected something.

[Giancarlo] Maybe the most fascinating part
about supervillains
is their obsession with notoriety.
Look what I did to this city
with a few drums of gas and a couple of bullets.
[Giancarlo] They are obsessed with being the bad guy.
They'll do anything for attention,
even if it creates absolute havoc...
And here we go.
[Giancarlo] ...leaving those around them
to clean up the mess.
They love seeing the world burn.
And we can't take our eyes
off of them igniting the fire.
[reporter] I do have to ask.
You know, this weekend, a lot of--you--
a few social media posts.
-Yeah. -You might be aware of this.
There was guys looking for you based on your
-social media posts. -Yeah, yeah.
-Does that make you nervous? -Not at all.
See, I'm all, you know, calm and whatever,
you know what I'm saying?
It's all cool, like, you know what I'm saying.
I gotta keep a smile on my face, you know what I'm saying,
'cause all this shit is funny to me.
Yeah, so are you gonna continue to post on social media?
I'm gonna keep trolling these niggas, man.
You know who these fuckers are, man.
You're gonna keep trolling?
Hey, what's your message to those guys
that are looking for you?
I mean, they still haven't found me.
I'm not that hard to find, know what I'm saying?
All right, man. Glad you're good, man.
-All right, bro. -All right.
[Billy] When we was in LA, he was like--
I swear he was like, "Yo, we should do something.
We should do something big,
like, stage something, man, 'cause we in LA.
People are saying nothing happened and stuff."
We like, "Man, we're not doing all that."
Like, "I don't know, we out here, we safe, man.
Thank God we're about to go back home, chill out."
Then the LAX fight really happened.
He was like-- that was what he wanted.
That what he wanted.
[man] Fuck, nigga! [shouting indistinctly]
Which one of you niggas want me, nigga?
Fuck me, nigga.
-[man] This is crazy. -What y'all niggas doing?
[man] Oh, shit.
All-out fight right here.
Tekashi's getting in.
-God. -[indistinct shouting]
[Harvey] We just got this video.
-[Charles] Wow. -[Harvey] Just got this video
of a rapper and this massive, massive fight at LAX.
[Charles] At LAX, spilled out into the street at LAX.
Uh, seven or eight guys.
The rapper's name is 6ix9ine
or Tekashi 6ix9ine.
Uh, he's 21 years old, fighting out of New York.
[Seqo] There's no-- there's no need for that.
Man, you asking for it, and you asking for attention.
Shit that we don't need.
Shit that we're not welcome into.
We don't want that, not that kind of attention.
[Billy] It's a big game to him, you know?
He don't care about nothing, you know what I mean?
He just care about himself and whatever he--
his personal gain, it's just always been him, and...
and I don't mean to sit here and bash him.
I'm just trying to tell everybody, like,
how this guy really was, you know?
[indistinct shouting]
Two thousand and eighteen Super Bowl.
Super Bowl weekend was in Minnesota.

We put my life--I put my life on the line every time.
Sometimes I was just--feel like I was riding for the cause.
Like, whatever happens, you know, I'm just--
I'm too deep in at that time, I felt like,
you know what I mean?
We just wasn't with that shit.
And I know for a fact, me-me and Chris
and a couple other niggas, everybody used to be like,
"Nah, we're not jacking that."
It was just one person that was on his side.

We ain't ducking chains out here, man.
We out here, king of New York shit, man.

Come get tripped up, man.

New fucking Death Row, man. We out here, man.
King of New York City shit, man.
[Billy] Shotti's screaming out, "The new Death Row."
All this-this whole character he's on.
Like, what are you doing all this for?
[Shotti] What's up?
On the West Coast, I'm feeling like Puff,
feeling like Suge.
What the fuck is up? It's Treyway.
[Seqo] Shotti knew 6ix9ine and the Treyway name
was-was strong.
I'm guessing he just wanted to be a-a mogul
like he say-- like he say he-he trying to be.
In his mind, to me, I think he was like,
"I'ma use this kid as much as I can
to be the next lit Suge Knight."
You know, we got a-- we got a little circle:
myself, Tupac, Snoop.
Marion "Suge" Knight,
head of Tupac's label, Death Row Records...
[reporter] Knight behind the wheel
of a hit-and-run in Compton, California.
Let me tell you like this, I know people say don't curse,
but I'm a fuckup.
When Suge Knight do something, they know I'm a fuckup,
so it ain't no big problem.
Now, if a fuckup like me can do something and make it,
anybody can make it.
Happy birthday, Suge Knight.
Treyway shit, man. Happy birthday, Suge.
Shout out. Thanks for the love, Suge.
Appreciate that call last night.
Fuck Suge, nigga.
You know, can't run no Suge, know what I'm saying?
Like, you trying to be somebody else, nigga.
Nigga, be you.
You know, come on, man.
He tried to make his own Treyway,
like, a--his own LLC, after I did the corporation.
[DJ Pvnch] That's what started a lot of the conflict
with Seqo and Shotti, because they both have Treyway,
and they both have different visions
for what they have for Treyway,
and then they spell it different.
I-I know that that created a conflict with both of them.
[Seqo] Can't be two Treyways, nigga.
Fuck are you talking about?
Like, there can't be two Seqo Billys.
Know what I'm saying?
If it is two Seqo Billys, we gotta fight for that.
[Shotti] [indistinct], man.
Look how-look how-look how the homie living.
He invited you people into his house
-on his fucking special day. -[man] Talk that talk, Shotti.
Praise the Lord on his special day.
-[man] Hallelujah. -You feel me?
[DJ Pvnch] Tekashi would play the chessboard
against everyone.
I started to really watch how he dealt with people.
He's very, very chessboard-ish, you know what I mean,
very--
I know who's the back line, I know who's the pawns.
[indistinct chatter]
Tekashi would cut people off around him
and kind of be like, "Look, Shotti, yo,
tell Seqo I don't want him around,"
and Shotti would enforce it.
To be real, that's where Shotti started losing
a lot of friends.
electronic hip-hop music
[man] Sick.
I said motherfucking 6ix9ine in the motherfucking building.
[Billy] In my mind I'm like, "Why are you just listening
to everything Shotti say all of a sudden?
What the hell are you talking about?"
Danny, he don't wanna be controlled.
He's another person that hate to be controlled
or told what to do.
He felt like, "Man, Shotti don't care.
Shotti with everything I'm with.
All the bullshit and shenanigans
that I could come up with, he's approving of it."
So it kind of, like, drifted him more to Shotti and stuff,
you know?
[Seqo] Niggas gonna do what they do.
I felt betrayed. I was like, "Damn, son."
Nigga dead. Nigga played me.
That's how I felt.
Nigga played me, know what I'm saying?
tense music
[Tekashi] I don't think y'all know how hard it is
to make fucking Billboard in the first place is.
We six for fucking six, nigga.
Take your hat off. Six for what?
-We six for six. -Six for what?
Fucking talk about, six for six, Blood.
Six for six.
We fucking six for fucking six, man.
[Shotti] This is New York shit right here.
Fucking New York shit.
This is the shit that's happening, man.
I stopped coming around,
'cause I saw, you know what I'm saying,
what was--what was going on.
The Temptations' "Just My Imagination" playing
Ooh-ooh
Ooh
[Ron] Police have analysts that their job solely
is social media.
You just look at social media every day.
After shootings, high-profile incidents.
Most of the time, it's out there so much
that they don't really have to work hard these days.
Casanova, you big stuffy bitch!
-[laughter] -Treyway shit, man.
I don't give a fuck about y'all niggas feelings, my nigga.
I'm a gangsta, and when you see me, man,
I'll knock your motherfucking teeth out.
But it was just my imagination
Runnin' away with me...
[Brendan] We knew he was affiliated with gang members,
but we didn't know to the extent,
and what he didn't know was that
the gang had already been under investigation,
and he was basically the gasoline
on these, like--these embers that turned it into
a-an entirely different situation
that was out of everybody's control.
[gunfire]
[reporter] A shooting near the Barclays Center
right outside the Atlantic Center Mall.
The gunman seen here, police say,
still on the loose tonight.
[reporter] On the receiving end
of those bullets, police say, a 50-year-old man
hit once in the ankle.
[Tekashi] This how the fuck we mob, man!
Treyway shit, man!
Jack boy shit, man.
The fucking Barclays, stupid!
[Adam 22] You can be a famous gang member,
but you can't be the famous dude
who's really up close and personal doing the shit
or, like, ordering the hit.
When's the last time you shot?
Who was the last person you shot?
I know you lying.
But it was just my imagination once again...
[reporter] Rapper Chief Keef now back in Los Angeles
after being shot at in Manhattan.
He believes the shot was fired
because of a beef with Brooklyn rapper
Tekashi 6ix9ine.
[reporter] What about this Chief Keef thing, man?
I'm a big fan. I'm a big fan of Chief Keef.
You're a big fan?
How much you think a feature cost?
What was the situation?
I don't know, we don't play with guns, man,
you know what I'm saying?
Tekashi 6ix9ine is for the kids, you know what I'm saying?
We don't promote no gun violence,
you know what I'm saying?
[Ron] Just by hanging out with a Blood member,
calling yourself a Blood member,
if you are under investigation,
they're not only looking at you,
but they're looking at all the pictures
that are viral, videos that are viral,
and they're putting a package together
where they're gonna sweep up the whole crew.
You can tell 'em you're a gangster all you want, man,
but telling the feds you're not is gonna be the hardest part.
Just my imagination
Runnin' away with me
I never met her, but I can't forget her
Just my imagination
intense music
[crash, glass shatters]
[indistinct chatter]
I mean everything, nigga. Get out.
Get out, get out, get in the car, get in the car.
Get in the car, nigga.
Get in the car, get in the car, get in the car.
All right, get in the car, get in the car.
He gonna shoot you. Get in the car, get in the car.
-Get in there, get in there. -That's what he'll do.
Get the fuck in.

Put some baby in the kitty and my apes getting filthy
