>This song has gained huge popularity with Gen Alpha kids.
Isn't it mostly just the meme that's popular. 20 million views isn't that big. 'U Guessed It' has 90m and it's arguably a shittier song. At least that Skrilla guy actually rapped for a few bars in the middle of the free verse nonsense.

OG Maco actually made a rap song without a single rhyme in it LMAO.

Bitch, you guessed it
Hwah, you was right

Damn, haven't thought about OG Maco in years. RIP.

> Just heard he passed away this morning! RIP MACO!!! You helped paved the way for a lot of these young rappers today

A true OG and pioneer.

The piano riff in that song is dope though.

The song is a banger yes. Even the "rap" is good. But if we're talking about shittiness in terms of they're not even really rapping. Yeah he mostly just accentuated the dope beat. I heard him talk about the story of the song. The producer played him the beat in the studio, then he just got on the mic and adlibbed that whole thing. People think "freestyle" means adlibbed but it doesn't. That's called "off the dome." So it was a truly off the dome song and it became a pretty big hit. He was channeling the spirits.

I guess the freestyle misnomer was already popular back then. Back in the 90s, freestyle just meant when you recite some verse you already wrote on some random beat played for you.

OG MACO INTERVIEW :: "'U GUESSED IT' WAS THE DUMBEST SH*T I EVER MADE"

>Yet frustratingly, he’s seemingly found himself pinned to the success of that first hit by the general public – a song which he unapologetically calls “the dumbest shit I ever made.” “I can make a couple more “U Guessed It’s,” and I can make millions off of those,” Maco shrugs. “But that was never what I wanted to do and that’s not what I want to push for all these kids who look up to me.”

<I was just thinking about what you were saying with your process of writing, how you’ll usually start out writing first and then do the beat. Obviously, on “U Guessed It,” you wrote it to the beat?

>No, no, “U Guessed It” was actually – I didn’t even hear the beat; I never heard it before. For “U Guessed It,” I walked in the house and I was drunk and I slapped the headphones off the edge of my [producer’s] head and I was like, “Play a beat.” And before he could play it, I was just so frustrated like, “You know what? Fuck it, the beat’s going to be trash, I don’t even want to hear it right now. Press record.”

>So, the first time I heard the beat, just like if you were to turn on the song your very first time, you heard that little piano [part], I heard it live and recorded it live at the same time. So I never heard the beat, I had never had a concept for “U Guessed It,” none of that shit. It was just, “Press record, I’m hearing this shit and it’s what I’m going to say right now.” So it was really raw.

<Do you prefer to write things that way?

>No, I don’t really have a preference. When I’m freestyling a lot, a lot of the time, it’s more gloomy because I’m just speaking on what’s around. So I’m not really trying to get to a deeper purpose of shit, I’m just really telling you how it is. “U Guessed It” is – I’m just really telling you how it is, telling you all the shit. I know you’re doubting me, I know you’re trying to play me, but it don’t change the fact I’m still the shit. So I’m going to tell it to you.

>There’s a lot of songs where I just go off the top of the head and it’s what you got. But I enjoy when I’m trying to get something across. I want to write it because when I write it – I’m accepting that boom, this is going to lead to this and this is going to lead to that. I need it to go that way because, otherwise, it throws my entire objective off and I hate that.

>So it’s equal, it’s pretty equal.

<Health issues and death

>Ihesiba was seriously injured in a traffic collision on July 28, 2016. He suffered multiple skull fractures, cracked vertebrae, a broken orbital, and heart palpitations, and nearly lost his right eye.[10][11]

>In 2019, he was diagnosed with the flesh-eating disease necrotizing fasciitis, causing an improperly treated minor skin rash to leave much of his facial skin disfigured.[12][13] Ihesiba struggled with depression from his battle with the condition,[14] and on December 12, 2024, he was hospitalized after a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.[15][16] He spent the next two weeks in a coma before dying from his injuries on December 26, 2024, at the age of 32.[17][18][19]

Jesus fucking Christ. That's sad.

Skrilla does Santeria and that’s how he made his song go viral.

Gen Alpha brain rot is truly saddening.
