Shit Is Getting Real In The Internet Streets: Youtube Star Releases Jake Paul Diss Track Featuring His Ex Girlfriend
Vs.
Billboard - Chances are, you’ve heard of Jake Paul. The 20-year-old YouTube/Vine celebrity and quasi-rapper, formerly of the Disney Channel series Bizaardvark, has morphed into an A-lister among teens and is gradually earning name recognition among adults. Paul has 10 million subscribers on YouTube, where he posts original tracks and vlogs with his Team 10 crew, and nearly that many followers on Instagram, where he posts performance pics and solemn solo shots. He is controversial: Paul has been accused of racism, bullying and making his L.A. neighborhood “a living hell,” all over the past few months. He is also becoming commercially viable: Two of his more viral songs cracked the Billboard Hot 100 this year, including the party-rap posse cut “It’s Everyday Bro,” which has earned 110 million YouTube views. Paul is not on this week’s Hot 100; however, a response song to “It’s Everyday Bro” — subtly titled “Its Everynight Sis” — debuted at No. 80. The diss track comes from RiceGum, a fellow YouTube celeb, and Alissa Violet, who is Paul’s ex-girlfriend; “Its Everynight Sis” is an evisceration of Paul, that questions his moral character, sexual prowess and mainstream fame (“Stop bragging, just accept nobody knows your Disney show!” goes one refrain).
First we had East Coast vs. West Coast rap rivalry. It was Shug Knight and Tu Pac vs. Biggie and Diddy. We all know how that ended. Motherfuckers getting shot in the streets. Now we have a new rap blood feud. Jake Paul vs. Ricegum. A battle royal for the Internet streets and it’s getting fucking ugly. Listen I’m a huge Jake Pauler but if he doesn’t respond and respond hard I may lose faith. Like I’m not saying he has to murder Ricegum but he has to murder Ricegum. This is what happens when you’re king. Everybody takes their shot at the crown. We need to make an example of this clown. Oh you want to see how the Jake Pauler’s bully people bud? You’re about to find out. (I hope)
PS – For anybody who thinks this is kid’s stuff RiceGum’s diss track debuted at #80 on the billboard charts. This is as real as it gets. These dudes have armies of teenage followers. They control the internet. They may look like dorks, but they are the Van Buren Boys. You don’t want to be on the wrong side of history with this one. Shit is scary real.
