An interesting watch for one seeking a man

"69: The Saga of Danny Hernandez" is a fascinating up-and-down look at the rise and fall of the controversial rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine. Where the documentary really succeeds is in capturing the chaotic energy of his meteoric rise to fame, but at times it feels like sensationalized spectacle more than deep exploration into the complex persona behind the rainbow-haired provocateur. The film touches on serious topics relevant to the influence of social media and the implications of living life from controversy, which it lacks nuanced storytelling to unpack. Despite all its inadequacies, "69: The Saga of Danny Hernandez" remains an interesting watch for one seeking a man behind the headlines, although some deeper questions are left open.

Conflicted- but I think the quality is there

A little annoyed at myself for even clicking this doc out of curiosity, because idk how, but i didn't know of him at all, and the rainbow hair got me. And obviously I don't think this person deserves any more attention. I will say, I'm pretty intrested to see what it's creator comes out with in the future. So many poorly thrown together documentaries come out on streaming platforms, and at least after watching this I didn't feel duped in that way. I felt like even if it wasn't 100%, the person who made this cared about doing a good job.
