Blueface is becoming more than the viral meme that launched his rap career. His hit song “Thotiana” took over social media recently and broke into the Billboard Top Ten, but critics were quick to debate whether he paid his dues in the rap world. But he’s not afraid to admit that “Getting to this point probably took about 25 percent music” and that Blueface is a role he plays, complete with signature dance moves. Now, a sequel to “Thotiana” is in the works and some critics are taking him seriously, calling him “ahead of his time.” (NYT, WP)
