Krispy Kreme uploaded the music video The Baddest on April 20, 2012, which quickly went viral.[8] The video for The Baddest had a huge spike in views after Ray William Johnson featured the video on an episode of =3 on May 8, 2012.[9] Later on May 18, 2012 Andy Milonakis reviewed Krispy Kreme's follow-up single, Haters Wanna Be Me, on =3 during Johnson's temporary absence from the show.[10] The viral videos have been highlighted for their slow-witted[2] and braggadocio lyrics,[11][12] along with being featured on Barstool Sports,[13][14][15][16] CBS,[17][18] and CollegeHumor,[19][20][21] among others.[22][23][24][25][26][27] Aside from praise of Krispy Kreme's viral videos, the rapper has also met negativity for The Baddest video as Tosh.0 criticized Krispy Kreme's flow and the beat of the song.[28] Krispy Kreme has also been referred to as the Rebecca Black of rapping".[29][30]. One instance of his much-criticised lyrics[31] is in the song, The Baddest, in which he boasted about having 400 cars, scars, guitars, houses (twice), and mouses.[32][33][34] The Baddest, was named the #10 most embarrassing "hip hop moment" by CraveOnline.[35]
On May 14, 2012 Krispy Kreme released his follow up single, Haters Wanna Be Me, which, much like The Baddest quickly went viral.[36] Haters Wanna Be Me was ranked as the #20 best music video of 2012, so far, by Complex.[37] On May 31, 2012, Krispy Kreme released another song, Best Friends,[38][39][40] a more serious rap than the previous two, with the lyrics focusing on his friendship with Money Maker Mike and referencing the influential rapper Tupac Shakur towards the end of the song.[41][42][43] On June 3, 2012, Krispy Kreme gave a motivational speech to his fans about chasing their dreams and openly wept throughout the video.[44][45] On June 15, 2012, Krispy Kreme released his fourth song, Girl Work It.[46] On June 23, 2012, Krispy Kreme uploaded a video addressing his haters.[47] Krispy Kreme uploaded a fifth song on July 6, 2012 titled Stolen Bikes,[48] a song which he uploaded a preview for as well.[49] Only four days later, Krispy Kreme released a sixth single titled Coolest Guys.[50] A seventh song, titled The Fight, was uploaded on August 24, 2012.[51][52] Afterwards, he released a song praising actor Denzel Washington called Denzel Washington which was uploaded on September 14, 2012.[53]
Money Maker Mike
Krispy Kreme is joined by Money Maker Mike in the viral videos.[54] Money Maker Mike has been met with criticism[55] for doing very little in the viral videos, having never rapped alongside Krispy Kreme. However, he has also received many positive comments on Krispy Kreme's videos. Famous rapper, Mac Miller, gave a shout out to Money Maker Mike, saying "That type of shit is cool to me because I'm like, 'Man I'm really makin' it when random big videos on YouTube, they're wearing my clothes, that's hella promotion for my clothes." The statement by Mac Miller was in response to Money Maker Mike wearing a Mac Miller t-shirt in the viral videos released by the duo.[56] Money Maker Mike has been documented wearing this shirt in all of the viral videos to date,[57] including Stolen Bikes where he is wearing it underneath his suit.
