Back in December, the 19 year old Florida rapper and recent Maggie Simpson lookalike Kodak Black was released from jail after having spent two different stints in two facilities, according to TMZ. Fans of the Finesse Kid rejoiced; despite Kodak being charged with sexual assault, which he is still awaiting trial for, there was still hope of him cleaning up his act to give us more hot tracks like "Lockjaw" or his classic "Skrt." Was Kodak Black going to make an amazing post-lockup transformation alá Gucci Mane?

The last month has answered that question with a resounding, "nope."

In the time that he's been out of prison, Kodak has: already threatened to beat up Lil Wayne (good idea), accidentally showed us his "Lil Kodak" while livestreaming in the shower (great idea), and just last week, gave an interview at The Breakfast Club wearing a ski-mask during the entire thing (best idea so far).

Ha ha I Win 😎

Disclaimer: I actually like Kodak Black. On top of "Skrt," which I think is a great example of his ability to show emotional depth in an otherwise gritty and dirty subgenre, I thought his mixtape Lil B.I.G. Pac was actually popping and a sign that we could expect good things from him.

But no mistake. To call Kodak Black's interview with the Breakfast Club a trainwreck would be an insult to trainwrecks. It is like a 22-minute long experiment in miscommunication and social awkwardness. When I first opened the video to see him wearing a ski mask, showing no intention of taking it off, I laughed. It looked like he was in the middle of robbing the station, got caught halfway, and tried to play it off by giving an interview. By the end, I wished that's what had happened.

That's when it hit me: Kodak has been acting strangely ever since he got out of prison. And he looked awfully different too…

Before and after prison Kodak. Looks off, right?

Now he was even refusing to show us his face. To put it bluntly, was this the real Kodak Black?



Warning: This is where s**t gets real spooky

It's 2016. Kodak Black has released the mixtape Lil B.I.G. Pac, receiving stellar reviews for it, and set to make music with French Montana which will give him wider appeal. This is all a taste of things to come. He plans to follow it up with an album. And not just any album. The album. The one that will put Florida on the map, usurping Atlanta from its geographic dominance over the rap game, and dethroning rappers like Young Thug, Gucci Mane, Future, etc.

But the powers that be can't let that happen. There's too much money in Georgia, the loss in strip club revenue alone would destabilize the global economy. So they imprison Kodak Black on some trumped up charges, and send out a fake, an Imposter Black, with the mission of ruining his own career.

Either that, or Kodak Black really is just dumb. You be the judge, America!
