Whoopty Rapper CJ Accused Of Giving Off Tekashi 6ix9ine Vibes

We're getting more and more evidence that the Tekashi 6ix9ine experiment may really be over.

Is there another New York rapper ready to take his place?

CJ has a top 20 hit with "Whoopty", which apes the Brooklyn drill sound that the late Pop Smoke brought to the forefront.

CJ has industry ties -- his uncle James Cruz is the former president of Bad Boy -- a deal with Warner, and French Montana is executive producing his upcoming debut EP.

Today, Pitchfork called CJ out as a "ripoff", and Brooklyn drill pioneer 22gz likened him to another borough star who wasn't very authentic: Tekashi 6ix9ine.
