just wanna clarify i use the term musician lightly 😂

Hello

[@hig2831]

you have your content from hip hop culture

[@Helluva_Boss]

Ballz 😩🤤

[@peetree65]

yeah🤣

[@sneakythiefgaming6648]

I think on a lesser scale, denzel curry should be on this list.

[@itzjetlife3639]

it’s insane that danielle bregolli got rich and famous off of being a bad little kid

[@leothecuisinart]

she got rich and famous bc people are morons who enable that stuff to go viral, the same kind of people who scream "worldstar!" and start filming when a fight breaks out

[@Brown_girl_artist_]

thats her mothers doing

[@aryanravi8164]

Speaking of successful memes to career, I think Joji qualifies for this. Although pink guy wasn’t a singular meme and therefore had longevity, it’s cool how he has a successful career in “serious” music

[@chilchilmajda]

and he’s definitely an artist for sure

[@slashingjw1251]

pretty sure you dont know what a meme is

[@susabobus]

Idk abt pink guy but joji made harlem shake

[@Quesoquantum]

John Gabbana is living proof anybody can turn their life around. It does not matter how many drugs you were on or how insane you are. There is always hope for a better day.

Yo we just forgetting Joji out here? As a kid growing up on the internet, Filthy Frank turning into an acclaimed artist was never something I thought I would see. But here we are.

[@hazbc]

I cringed too hard at the back pack kids genius intro that I had to look away, but I could still hear the 20 jackets he was wearing rustling lmao

[@Quesoquantum]

I know this is fairly random but I remember doing a practice lockdown at school where we were supposed to be quiet (because in a real lockdown you're quiet or you get shot) and this one dude was rustling around in this paper bag ass jacket

[@CougarMacDowall]

I remember meeting Patty on the beach in Daytona while doing a photoshoot while him and Big Win where shooting a few scenes at Daytona peer for BlahBlah. His content doesnt give off the right impression of him as a person, hes like one of the nicest peeps you'll meet was super humble and actually had allot of passion for his music at least at that time lol.

[@SomeRandomDude-xk2rm]

Didnt expect to see u here

[@CFootprints]

Okay but you've seen his content...right? Doesn't scream humble, or respectful, or decent human being. The clip in this video he's stealing and destroying property. On the Internet you are the person you portray yourself to be. And he portrays himself as a cringelord douchebag.

[@slashingjw1251]

but he does steal shit and trashes stores?

[@chrisc4903]

Big Win is booty

[@legalduidriving]

That is very obviously staged.​@@slashingjw1251

[@MiniMight]

i feel like the fact bhadbhabie genuinely didn’t fall off after getting famous from a meme is not properly appreciated 😭 like she even got people to refer to her mostly as bhadbhabie instead of danielle bregoli

[@Greybell]

i used to listen to her music unironically. her music honestly wasn't bad for its time, but there are some accusations that she got ghost writers. still getting 200M streams on Spotify from a person who's known for a meme is unheard of.

[@shmunked]

@@Greybell who doesn’t have ghostwriters in the mainstream at this point

[@teemo9141]

[@theoutsiderjess4869]

​@@teemo9141 not everyone but alot of musicians do

[@Mpeezy69]

Not just that but she got ppl to refer to her as bhad bhabie instead of "cash me outside girl" which is crazy 😂

[@Noobalator]

I've unironically listened to Bhad Bhabie after she started to rap. Whoever her ghostwriter is and the beat selection deserve praise.

[@dh.151]

for real Gucci flip flops was a bop. she's speaking out now about "rehabilitation camps" for youths being extremely abusive which isn't spoken of at all in media which is good

[@ravenhoney444]

omg literally cause her music is a guilty pleasure of mine cause i actually like a lot of it but if i play it on the aux im gonna get clowned on which is sad cause she actually isnt a bad person and i still keep an eye on her socials and she's super successful which is great considering her roots on dr phil

[@HyphyJuice916]

​@@dh.151there are some for sure bad but she was clearly a problem before that.

[@RoarTheRapper]

I’m glad Gabbana improved in his music! I could see him getting bigger with the right artists in his circle like Andy or Lecrae.

[@JayBrown-xs9ps]

Yessir! Amen 🙏🏾

[@NightVisionz457]

Or Sevin! There are some good artists hidden from the mainstream. Have Gawvi produce and he could make something special !🌃✨

[@chairmanmaozebron9686]

honestly can't believe bhad bhabie first appeared when impact font memes were still unironic

[@andrewvaldez8689]

I went to the same HS as Backpack Kid when I was a Senior in 2017 - 18, around the time he blew up online and on SNL. I remember vividly that he had a whole ass group of people that would occupy the whole hallway from morning, after each class all the way til we got out at 2 o clock, even at lunch his "posse" would have 3 - 4 lunch tables occupied just to stay around him. Eventually it died down but holy crap, I've never seen so much people around one person in my life

[@YourLocalMelomaniac]

Why’d he say “per-vert” though 🤣🤣 6:42

[@2thl3sstv]

I feel like Mattyballz & Patrick CC would make a sick collab video!

[@HedeccaTamer]

I just clicked the title and I was just convinced it was cc before a different guy showed up They would definitely do something great together

[@2thl3sstv]

@@HedeccaTamer Agreed! pretty stellar content from them both in my opinion! :P

[@joshuabowen6919]

I concur, Doctor.

[@HellGirl666]

Woah Vicky has also swerved into being a fundamentalist Christian and I'm pretty sure grifting in one way or another. Also her fighting BhadBhabie was hilarious at the time because I was always going to put money on Bhabie winning. Bhabie also would go on to use her platform to speak out against Dr. Phil and the ranch as both were predatory and abusive to her and the other girls who went there, one alleging SA against the staff members.

[@CapitalCLYDE]

Yeah that place Dr. Phil sent her did her no favors. Those places need shut down.

[@Abominable_Intelligences]

Dude, you forgot FilthyFrank, the epitome of early/mid 2k memeology

[@oo2337]

Denzel curry also made a career out of a meme w Imperial and the bottle flipstuff that was going crazy in like 2016

[@super6070]

He was rapping way before that

[@theoutsiderjess4869]

Bhad Bhabbie is the most successful out of the bunch but Backpack kid looks the happiest

[@nicolebaii8447]

I swear that back pack boy dont blink.. Its creepy.. He also didnt create the "floss"

[@strangerofthe2067]

By far, the MOST SHOCKING info in this video is that Theo Von was in Cash Me Outside Girl’s music video 😂 like WTF?!? I really ain’t trying to watch her music videos but damn, I might have to see that lol

[@mattyballz]

😂😂 fr man

[@NoSkrilla]

Yo Matt, I have no idea when you started popping into my feed but I am so happy it did. Your content is entertaining as hell and you make jokes so subtly that catch me off guard and get me cracking up. Keep up the great work with your videos!

[@mattyballz]

thanks!

[@Legiey]

John really turned his life around, and his music is completely different, I like it but I know people aren't into clean and more religious type rap, but he has turned around like I've never seen before

[@SamSlugg456]

I never knew how to pronounce bad bhabie when I first saw it written on Guccis flip flops. Bhabie. Bhabie. Baby. Babie. Bahbie. Baybee. There were so many other ways to spell it that made a little more sense lmaooo wild

[@jbulls193]

The backpack kids' hand movements kinda remind me of some tai chi moves. I think that he maybe instinctively feels something from his dancing. If nothing else it's probably good for his health. Keep dancing dude

[@angeladelcid2589]

Backpack Kid to me probably been corny and socially awkward up until he realized he could do that lil dance move....git that attention and his head unreasonably swelled

The best example of a rapper doing something with a meme is the german rapper xatar that had a meme of him talking about food and after it got a lot of atention he opened a restaurant and made it a franchise so he made a big move of of that

[@Tricolorrr533]

@@mattyballz i understand where you're coming from but my point is exactly that, that different generations consider different things to be good. Though i didn't take you as a fan of hers i understood that you appreciated aspects of her music because they're similar to what you'd probably consider of good quality, based on your previous experiences with music. We older people (though i'm "only" 30 lol) have different musical backgrounds and with a constantly changing music industry I assure you the overwhelming majority of people older than me isn't really finding any enjoyment in music like that for 2 reasons: it has nothing in common with what we know (it's even insulting to us old people that she would call herself a rapper) and it's not like music has been getting better with artists like her looking for ways to make it in the industry over any artistic aspirations
