    I’m pretty sure you don’t get any more white trash than this, this is one of the people included:

    It was pouring rain, and I was riding shotgun in a Rolls-Royce with a 38-year-old MAGA rapper named Forgiato Blow. We were on our way to have dinner at Hooters.

    Only half of his face tattoos were visible from where I sat: a diamond balanced on the coiffed hair of a cartoon Richie Rich on his cheek. Two interlocked Rs—to stand for Rolls-Royce—nestled next to his ear. And the Bitcoin symbol peeking out from under his red, white, and blue “American Gangster” cap.

      Was wondering who gets a bitcoin tattoo and then

      The Rolls-Royce is painted cotton-candy pink and neon blue. It’s covered in drawings of dollar bills, Bitcoins, piggy banks—and Richie Rich. On the hood are the words “Trump’s Nephew.”

      oh

        The person making fun of that car is my favorite part of that article and I love that article. Also, there’s pics of that car further down, it’s as bad as it sounds.

        While Jantz was parking, a man outside Hooters laughed. “Who the hell drives that? Captain Crunch?”

        I repeated the joke over dinner, with his producer Dexter Drayton (aka FangaLee) and another up-and-coming MAGA rapper, Stoney DudeBro.

        They laughed. Jantz wasn’t as amused.

          Stoney DudeBro

          Can’t believe a MAGA is calling himself that. Or anyone for that matter.

          They should just go home, no one’s better than Roy Wood Jr

          They need a followup, so much more material now. Except now it would be a grievance rap.

              I went back and read that article to the end. I can see why you love it, a remarkable amount of ridiculous bs condensed into one space. That’s an article you can’t really give someone the cliff notes on.

              Probably one of my favorite parts

              “But my fans aren’t teenage boys,” he added. “My fans are 50-to-60-year-old people that probably never listened to rap music in their life. And I make them love rap music. Now they love rap music.”

              That is sad. But funny.

                I think that wraps up the whole article, sad but funny. I was just laughing at this too:

                He said he eats at Hooters almost every day, and always orders wings. He’s hooked on soda, regularly guzzling gallons of Dr Pepper, Fanta, and Coke. He told me he finds it hard to sleep.

                The writer knew how to be dry with his humor and let us laugh at the absurdity of it all.
