The documentary vigorously investigates — and subsequently calls out — his integrity as an artist, an associate, and even as a gang member. Read full review

Jacob Oller

The problem isn’t that the film is as shallow as its subject, but that its efforts to find substance beyond the style are handicapped by its broad format. Read full review

Gandhi speaks to collaborators, lovers and journalists, who help flesh out Hernandez’s life and career trajectory, although the musician’s unwillingness to participate leaves this an intriguing snapshot rather than a definitive portrait. Read full review

The Observer (UK) Wendy Ide

Jun 13, 2021

Was the persona 6ix9ine an act or a kind of addiction? Was he a professional troll – the Katie Hopkins of hardcore hip-hop – or a genius marketeer? This intriguing documentary fails to fully answer these questions, but it does shine a light on a particularly uneasy aspect of internet celebrity. Read full review

Gandhi’s insights into Tekashi69’s psyche are limited, and some of his conclusions about the disgraced rapper’s character are bizarre. Read full review

John DeFore

Even Gandhi (maker of 2016's Obama-early-years feature "Barry") admits that what he hoped would be a cautionary tale is probably just one more way for the infamous celeb to get the attention he craves. Read full review

What 69: The Saga of Danny Hernandez accidentally confirms is that life would be so much better for all of us if everyone chose to collectively ignore its central subject. Read full review

A good reason for Danny's behavior may have been poverty but it's not a good excuse to beat women and play with guns. Tekashi's self-centered, violent, obnoxious persona takes the magic out of the story.

The documentary was well done, however the subject matter is trash. even the people around him hate him. What i learned about 69 in the doc.... Pedo, terrible non existent father, wife beater and will throw his friends under a bus to clear his name. No redemption for this troll.

Don’t waste your time/money. This ‘documentary’ from a pseudo-celebrity who’s only ‘hits’ came from grossly manipulating charting platforms and streaming services, only to result in another ego driven project that nobody will be interested in.
