Jake Paul Releases Diss Track To His Haters
Jake Paul, arguably the world's most infamous Viner, YouTuber, and terrible neighbor at the moment, has had a rough few months. After jumping into the mainstream with his awful song "It's Everyday Bro," Paul has been fired from the Disney Channel, threatened with a lawsuit from his irate neighbors, and dragged on Twitter for making racist comments to a fan. Amidst all this hate, Paul has responded with--what else?--a YouTube video.
It's one of the best/worst things ever.
The video is titled "YouTube Stars Diss Track." The first frame of the video says "This is not a diss track." Then a title card shows up saying the song is called "That Ain't In the News." It's all very confusing.
In the video, Paul attempts to paint himself as misunderstood while kind of trying to rap like Future. To achieve this, he references some of his most famous "emotional" videos, such as GIVING 500 THANKSGIVING MEALS TO THE HOMELESS and I WAS HER MAKE A WISH.
“Where was y’all at when Make-A-Wish hit me, to meet my girl Caylee. Man that shit changed me,” raps Paul.
It's remarkable to see Paul exploit videos of him exploiting those less-fortunate than he all in the name for views. He's the Christopher Nolan of exploit-ception.
Anyway, while this is going on, Paul is wandering around a grocery store in an Odell Beckham Jr. jersey. He also gets a haircut.
What makes "Jake Paul – YouTube Stars Diss Track (Official Music Video)" such a marvelous piece of anti-entertainment, even more so than the notorious "It's Everyday Bro," is that here we are able to witness Paul's extreme inability to experience self-awareness. Faced with receipts upon receipts of him being awful, Paul takes the concept of "dabbing on them haters," as he's wont to do, and turns it into a full-fledged music video. How much money was spent on this? One wonders.
"You know that I'm cocky, but you know I'm tryna not be," he raps in the same bar as "you know that I kill it, you know my game is pippin." Is "pippin" a thing? Is it like "pimpin"? Or the 1972 Stephen Schwartz musical Pippin?
Anyway, as for this writer, the pendulum for Jake Paul is starting to swing from "worst person ever" to "so bad he's good." I can't wait till his album about YouTube drama drops.
