growing up rich and being a rapper is the plot of Malibu's Most Wanted
Woah, it is..talk about conspiracy
Mabu's most wanted
Edit: I'm sorry
honestly i thought thats where he got he name from.... lil mabu aka lil malubu most wanted lol
Easy money for him . While lil Nas x wasn't accepted by country fans . Shit crazy
Hold up take the "li" and throw it in the front its damn near malibu just mixed up with an extra "L" thrown in this kid might be a genius lmfao
This is literally Timothy Chalamet's character from SNL come to life(except in on the joke)...."Dad I don't like it here, everyones super mean."
THATS WHAT IVE BEEN SAYING 💀😭
Cling cling cling man you capping
DRIP SPLASH WATER DRIP DRIP SPLASH WATER
The way I thought he was Danny Gonzalez who decided to pursue an actual rap career despite the fact that they don't sound alike at all 😂😂
I thought I was the only one who noticed the similarities in the way they look😂
Daniel Hernández you mean
My next up recommended is Danny's new video lol
you mean drew gooden
Bye 💀💀💀💀
I didn't think people was actually taking him seriously...
They are all under 21
They don't he's heavily promoted I doubt he's gonna rap in 5 years he gonna be working with his father in the Disney company
they didnt
most people just said that kids funny and the songs sound fire
They dont but he makes more money then most hood rappers lmao
XXL put him in the Freshman class and he's wracking up legitimate artist numbers.
So, I used to go to the school he went to (Emory). I transferred out a few months before he came. My friends who still go there (seniors now) tell me that he's just a "regular kid" and people often bother him in the cafeteria although he tries to separate his school life from his career. He doesn't find it amusing when people come up and ask him about it. Never heard a bad thing about him from on campus.
I know folks at Emory too and it seems like Mabu only attended Emory because ATL is a hip hop hub. Mabu could've easily gone to a prestigious university up north, but chose to go to school in Atlanta
@@indecisive.325y’all tweaking lol
Interesting. I never thought about that before but you're so right.@@indecisive.325
why doesnt he drop out lol
His fault ,what a goofy😂😂 make cap rap and expect to be chill
Wow i like the way how you talk about people. There's no judging, nudging and no framing. A nice & clean documentary. Big up!
Funeral business, NY carry permit... His dad is mafia
I think so too
@@Snufz760 exactly
😂😂
oh damn lol. whole other type of street to have cred on, but he can't even talk about it. that'd be a crazy life to live
I literally thought the same thing immediately lol
I hate the way that he’s profiting off of a dangerous lifestyle that people actually live without fearing for his life at all. He can go home every night with no fear while the people actually doing the shit he talks about have to worry about whether or not they gon see the next day
He pays them so it's okay to make money off of their ignorance
Mabu is actually from the hood
Dude Calm Down It's Not That Deep, Everyone does That As Long as he ain't hurting anyone who cares
@@Used_condoms906he literally grew up in a multi-million dollar mansion wym 😭
Fr😂
“Deportation… My name is Luis.” 😂
😂😂😂
I cant lie, shits legendary
he told him "you sound very black" lol
Lowest common denominator entertainment
no one actually thought he was a gangster💀💀💀
It's crazy how many people this kid connected with back when he was doing this marketing thing. I have a couple friends who were also reached out to by Mabu for this marketing stuff. They never responded.
I ended up responding and bro helped me a lil forsure. we still locked in
The fact he was a rich white kid before all of this is just so funny to me
Bro a lot of black rappers lied aswell. Biggie smells mother after he died showed he went to private schools and had a nice upper middle class upbringing, lil Tecca wasn’t about that life, YBN nahmir wasn’t about that life.
Most rap fans are middle class white kids
@@LilEshu808mabu never lied about it tho
@@IshaanjitThe kids whole persona is ridiculous.
It's not funny. It's pathetic, shameful, disgusting, ignorant, stupid, racist and lame.
Lil mabu grows up in a "friendly neighborhood!"
So funny man
@@StunningIceBoxwhat you so mad for little dude?
I wasn't being sarcastic
@@StunningIceBox calm down, son.
@@SaccoMabowleshe said he wasn’t being sarcastic💀
I still think about Slim Jesus. He was open and honest in his first Vlad interview and from my memory it was a similar story Drake said like rapping about what's going on in the hood while not being there (Drake said he would only go to the hood to meet friends) Also just a year or two later you'd have people like Lil Tecca and a lot of new 'Drill' or gangster rap. I feel like Drill time was a good song but he also didn't help himself by hanging up om Birdman
Lil Mabu is rlly smart, that’s obvious, he knew what he was doing.
Lift and help each other out stip the divide ! I love seeing pepple from different walks of like together making art for the workd RESPECT!!
Is it just me or does mabu look like loki from mcu?💀💀
Edit: TY for all these likes!!!
I can’t unsee it now cuz he could DEF pass for a young/flashback version of Loki 😂
Also looks like Tom Holland 😂
Its just you
Looks like Loki had a baby with Tom Holland, or Timothy Chalamet got pregnant with Nicolas Cage.
😂
He’s doing what most rappers do, he’s just being honest about it
yea but they're black and grew up poor, not the same lol
Not really tho look how many rappers get locked up or die because of street shit
Nah a lot of them be lying to@@wisdom7981
They can't gatekeep a genre. Plus, he's not saying he did go through it @wisdom7981
Lmfao you think alot of these rappers be telling the truth? 😂😂😂😂
tbh i get it. this guy is less about the music and more so just a entertainer as a whole, the music just comes with it as part of the character. one day he could also make some really good sht and solidify himself as a good artist, but he doesnt necessarily need to. smart tactics overall, but being rich enough to do all of this in the first place definitely helped a lot ;d
The father supposedly was beat up at a wake in 2016 and left with a concussion. But seriously sounds like the kid has something behind him other than just money. Not my kinda music, but hope he keeps succeeding at life.
Idc if Mabu isn’t about what he raps about. His shit is lowkey 🔥🔥
honestly i got a ton of respect for mabu. being able to balance music, school and an online image is a hard thing to do.
“…so i condemn you for that”. Lol… Woops.
Lil tech: you don't have to be gangsta to rap.
Mabu is entertaining but I feel like rappers like him just don't last long after their momentum. The "white boy trend" gets boring after a while but we'll see how far this one goes 😂
Yeah they don’t last. Remember slim Jesus
@@Corvy952 exactly what I mean 💯
Tbf I think he has some bangers but if it wasnt for thus video i would've forgotten about him
Yea ok bro
Disagree. hes poping off and been for years
I’m a millennial. Unlike us, I noticed Gen Z doesn’t care if you’re a fake gangster, or have ghost writers or rental cars and mansions. They will continue to like you if you keep acting, and cancel you when sick of you.
Well said
"unlike us". Speak for an entire generation and imply that you have some more enlightened principles or something. cringe
@@erikgriswold5273 I didn’t mean to offend you. You can correct me without insulting me.
Edit: I believe I heard something similar from Anthony Fantano. Perhaps I should rephrase from “like us” to “ Millennials”
Third edit:
Ok nvm. I didn’t offend you you’re just an asshole. I just visited your page. You videoed a woman working out without her knowing making fun of her. And posted it on the internet for all to see. Your just like being contrary you’re not actually offended.
They only cancel you if you make the gays upset
his fans are all 12 so that’s gen alpha. it’s also nothing to do with cancel culture lmao it’s just his fans don’t care because they are 12 year old white kids themselves. stop looking for things to complain about that don’t exist
fantastic video mister bawlz. love the haircut btw
thanks!
Mabu is really an amazing artist, just came across his music recently and was wowed!
Mabu is gonna do what he does because hes a opertunist, however the rappers who have embraced him simply for internet clout are the biggest problem.
i read an argument in another comment that they're getting something out of his appropriation at least. not sure how I feel about that but it made me think
Yeah it's a shame
yeah, he's an opertunist
“You sound very black” 😂😂😂
Yup, Remeber he came in as "Lil Malibu"!!!
I honestly really like mabu, i think he has got the balace just right with serious and gimmick and there will be more serious tracks on his album coming out in april. He has always been upfront about who he is and i think its got to get to a point that so many artist r messing with him that y'all need to accept that he probably is actually a pretty decent guy that ppl genuinly like him.
Now we wait for the inevitable genre switch up after he gets bored playing rapper like many others like him..
matthew spherical back at it again!!!!!!!!!!!
And other words lil mabu is the kid rock this generation
i remember seeing him on a short before he got real famous😪🤣
He went from a drill artist to making masterpieces like “oppy day”, truly inspirational
I remember seeing him spamming IG comments back even when I was in high school lmfao... I was a hater but dude never gave up and actually found some success so I cant hate no more lmaoo
Why does anyone listen to this persons music.
Because some people like it
Because the music is fun nothing more
Regardless how you feel about the kid, you gotta respect his hustle. Boy cooked up a decent career using the right ingredients. He's smart, talented, & despite how he comes across, (mad) mature for his age when you think of how he executed everything, leaning into his privilege & leveraging what he does have to get what he wants. Not to mention he's funny af and the music slaps hard... That's a winning combo any day of the week.
And I think that's the reason big names in the business, both front facing & behind the scenes, rock w him.. they recognize the hard work/hustle & respect the grind. Plus, there's something hypocritical about hood culture hating the guy just because of what he was born into. Almost poetic how he doing the same thing as real street rappers, but from the opposite end of the spectrum, if that makes sense..
P.S. I think the BS w/ ChriseanRock was because now he can use the marketing/virality he provides as payment aside from money, which he gave her on that track. And value = value at the end of the day, another sign of his A1 business mindset. (She just mad now 😂)
Whenever I hear this background song i always know the videos gonna be a banger
You should make a video on the best artist ever Yuno miles
agreed
Been listing to mabu since demon time, bro on his way up
im so tired of people saying he's a genius for what he's doing as if so many people haven't done the same. They're so ignorant for perpetuating this dumb ass behavior.
Usually I like this dudes videos but this whole vid just seemed kinda meat ridingish
ong, it's the tv trope "hood/hood-acting white kid" modernized for the internet
I don't know how anyone from New York rocks with this guy
@@c0rxpseb0i13 got a shout out from Mabu and started glazing hard.
@@DefNotMyBurner most likely or mabu bought this video
Hard to believe this dude really rocks with mabu
W Ballzack 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Drake 2.0. damn these guys out here taking your money 💪🏻
bro also made the worst song of the century or some shit 😭😭😭
Yes, ALL of his music.
@@UFEDUC3 i was mainly talking about mr take ya bitch cuz that’s the only one i really heard was the worst
chrisean went crazy wym???
@@slaterr_same i actually hate that song lmao also isn’t Christen like 23 and he’s 18?.?🤨
@chuuchuuutrain who cares? 🤨
JUST TO REMIND ME AGAIN HOW UNFAIR A LIFE COULD BE, THANKS MABU
you should make a vid about the nu-horror core/ torture core scene
torture core sounds scary
@mattyballz it's like horror core memphis rap turned up to 1000, you should check out Craig scissor hands new album
three six mafia, tommy wright iii, tech n9ne, lil ugly mane!
@raven06 too bad these guys already did that. brotha lynch hung, icp, twiztid, Twisted insane, lurch, and spice 1
@@helldog63 torture core is still very different from this
By definition of the term “industry plant” he fits the imagery to a T yet no one says anything because he’s good at marketing his career
By definition? What industry support did he have? He's independent. I think you don't understand the definition yet you chose to make your statement how you did. Insane
You don't know how what industry plant mean. The kid is 100% funding his own music. The Industry isn't even involved in this. So how is he an industry plant when he ain't doing nothing with the industry?? Smh
@@erikgriswold5273LMFAOOOO.
Tbh if you can’t tell it’s all an act and persona then that’s on you. I like his sense of humor and sarcasm…😂
This has nothing to do with humor. He's mocking a dangerous lifestyle that is not a fun "choice" for most of the young men of color who live it. He's making a mockery of an entire culture because ignorant whites think black people are just violent and criminal. It's shameful, pathetic, and above all disgusting. L
I honestly thought his persona was satire. I just assumed it was comedy. Maybe he's paying folks to keep it friendly?
THIS GUY GREW UP RICH LMAO AND IS PLAYING GANGSTER
You are so completely braindead. Did you watch the video? You're all caps typing this like you discovered something. Holy fuck
Most of these rappers are lying about being in the streets
People were saying he was Tom Holland Spiderman
More like Tom MacDonald
Everyone pays for features. Every single one of them. Theres no “free collabs” unless both ppl are stupid unknown.
Danny Gonzalez out here trynna be the drill game Bruce Wayne
Great insight in this video, some of your most thoughtful work!
Let's see how long he will last within the lifestyle he chose, there's nothing Real about being FAKE and calling yourself a Gangster or in any Gang....I can't wait to see him cap out ,🙏
No matter our background we can do anything.
Grew up poor you can become a doctor, it’s just you, that’s holding yourself back.
Mabu, may have not grew with that background, but he can do anything he wants. Anyone can.
yea but being a doctor is a lot harder than being a mabu hahhaha come on bruh
@@papervws it’s an example bruh.
ik im just saying.. being rich and becoming mabu is a whole lot easier than being poor and becoming a doctor, if someone invests money in their career and goes hard on the gimmicks theyll probably get famous, its not just ourselves holding us back.@@1738..
Will you people stop crying over a "little white boy" that started rapping and getting known.
Don't matter what excuse you come up with crying about it he's still going to rap without anyone's OK.
Why people got such a problem with him is beyond me.
Bring him up, don't try and drag him down.
Anyone could do what he's done.
Make your own music. You can be a cowboy rapper or what ever floats your boat
This little white boy Is doing what ever so called other rappers are doing. Half of these "rappers" nobody even really knows. Only difference
Because he bought his way into the rap industry. He’s no different than Jaden Smith.
He essentially took the lil dicky route but made mid music instead of bad music
Hes not lying about his roots
Why so many hate ? He is kid ,really very clever. I love Mabu
Mabu is the drill version of Bo Burnham.
I think he is funny and makin smart moves with the privileges and personality that he has. People shouldn't take everything so negatively and seriously. His music is entertaining imo and I'm pretty sure at this point he has a good relationships with ppl he works with. It is what it is. Besides industry plant is a weird term considering a lot of musicians in different genres where "found" or scouted whether that was a club joint, small self-funded concerts, tv shows, personal connections, etc. for YEARS. It's not like these ppl come out of thin air!!!! It's a normal practice I promise. Luckily, you are able to make moves on your own without a label (if that is what you want or don't need) and social media is easy for scouting. It is what it is. We always have to find some negative connotation...
I don’t care how much money he’s making. I wouldn’t want to be him, or have his career.
Im an artist i follow upcoming artists on insta since 2016 every one i see i known this kid since he was barely a teen and he BEEN tryna go viral doing some controversial shit
Matty is absolutely killing it with the content lately! 🔥
1 min gang
who the fuck is giving this kid plays though? i don't think i've ever seen anyone who's ever claimed to listen to this dude.
Fr
that's the thing, people like this don't have a lot of real fans. two thirds of his views are probably people like us who wanna react to the shock of it
Reactors are doing his music. Just type in Lil Mabu music reaction they all pop up
He looks like Timonthee Chalmet
Let’s be real no one thought he was from the streets
My problem is when he dropped that song with that one rapper, it was on the front page of the TH-cam explore feed, and the song was about how to commit murder. Why is the algorithm front paging this song to the masses!?!??
Bc it’s a white kid saying it
Because white people can do whatever they want with zero consequences. Classic double standard. Pathetic.
$$$$
Because it’s controversial and controversial content gets views
@@dimitrosg yeah not like 90/100 rappers that rap about murder is black
must be because hes white
Crushing it again, Mr. Ballz, ca-can I call you Mr. Ballz? 😮
That’s acceptable. Thank you Woozy.0
Nobody actually did think he was a gangsta
LOL Deportation meme comes from him 😭😭😭
lil Mabu -> LilMabu -> Malibu -> Mali-bootay --> B-Rad G
This video is basically Malibus Most Wanted in RL.
Matthew Delucas popping up talking about “ traffic traffic felling kinda carsick “
'also my name is mattyballs' got me🤣
So Maybe my brain is just losing it slowly like my Aunt Aurora. Well hers is more due to her medicine cabinet looking like a LIL Peep concert with names with more X's then an xxxentacion CD collection mixed with 90's break up song titles BUT I feel like you've done a video on this guy before. Maybe you just did a video that had him in it and you loaded in facts about him and that's why it sounds familiar. Familiar Like the voice of the guy my girl is cheating on me with. Speaking of my father! All my family watch your channel it's amazing lol you always put so much thought snd info and love into each video and it shows bro it shows like a video or show that you can't look away from. Like the women standing by you and your girl in the self checkout and she's wearing white and Walmart has the AC cranked up! Not worth it look away! BBBUUUTTT you don't because you can't! Because the content is just that good! Lol see like your videos! Keep up the amazing work bro!
nobody cares but me and lil mabu have the same exact birthday and were born in the same city
Mabu is a Rapper/Entertainer!!!!!
And he says it, I’m from NYC and I respect that at least he’s being honest about his fake lifestyle .
All these other rappers that you guys think they are ganat -only because they come from a particular neighborhood .
90% are as soft as an ice cream cone.
Keep entertaining Mabu respect✊🏽
P.S.
Matyballz you dropped his Addy to his parents and other family homes - the definition of dry snitching!!!
Stop drinking that Hatorade matyballz!!!!
😂😂😂
He will grow out of this and be embarrassed by it eventually
Yeah because most people don't aspire to be from the hood.
yuno miles video???
im a marketing major, and in my opinion from what i’ve studied till now, this dude is a fucking marketing/PR genius
This is probably one of the only times I agree with the "it's only cool because he is white" rap fans.
Ouuuu i love the earrings, just keep the beard!😘😘😘
Crazy you brought up Pat Cc because id love to see you guys work on a video project together 🔥
So Young Mabu is basically like a white Tariq Saint Patrick? 🤣
Everyone knows that rappers PAY for features. Kid did his thing and you gotta respect that. Anyone can make any type of music now and I see it all the time on soundcloud
Matty got a fresh cut
Errrrmmmmm, why is nobody talking about a MattyB & PatrickCc colab???
another amazing upload btw
only 11m in. lol
Good evening Mr Ballz
Convoluted way to say he bought his way into the rap game
Wassup ballz
yo
Boy jacked everythint he got from slim jesus pay respect
17:15 that's not chrisean that's a look a like a stunt double
I said the same thing it's a bad look a like at that
Saying "buy features" sounds so stupid when almost everyone who does features gets paid to do so
How did rappers allow this to happen , this is crazy
Because most of them are fake too.
@@hansmemling2311fivio isnt fake
Mabu didn’t have to do all this fake gangster bs to make it big, he could’ve tailored his image to be literally anything but instead he chose to cosplay poverty and gang violence. The idea of a rich kid using his money to buy an image of poverty to look “hard” is embarrassing af and he should’ve just stuck to whatever kind of music he was making before. I just saw a video of him walking around with a 9 year old “rapper” in a Chicago hood with a shit ton of security and he was getting popped at. It’s crazy. He got to visit the hood and play around a little bit just to go back to his rich life at the end of the day and it irks me so bad bruh.
He has never pretended to be poor. Part of his shtick is that he is in private school
Except Mabu never pretended to be poor
@@nomanejane5766 I never said he pretended to be poor I said that he is using the aesthetic of poverty to make a profit. Not the same thing.
Even worse when a college like him would reject someone with the background that he cosplays as. Sad.
let’s go bro 🎉
