During Joe Rogan's most recent podcast, in which he spoke to writer Bridget Phetasy, he opined about 6ix9ine's current place in the culture.

"You know what's the Rosetta Stone of the culture war? Tekashi 6ix9ine," Rogan said around the 2:37 mark. "Because the rap culture has always been 'no rats'; 'snitches get stitches.' That's always been the culture. He is now the most popular rapper on earth, he has a video that he just released a few days ago, that, what is it now?"
