Every song on his YouTube has almost the exact same flow, rhyme scheme, pattern, etc. Great production value, but that is about it. Severely lacking originality and creativity.
For those who do not know, the city pictured in the video is rated as a top 5 Forbes list “Best small city to raise a family” . It is an extremely low crime, affluent area that hosts some of the best high schools in the state. Video very un-original and plays off of stereotypes and gimmicks used in several rap videos. If you actually know the city Midland, it makes it even more laughable.
Lol. One of the best small towns next-door to one of the nation’s worst. Must not of heard about the murder/suicide attempt outside the high school in the video or how heroin is killing kids weekly round here. Keep doing ya thang Calhoun! #989.

That’s exactly what those in Midland tell outsiders to try and seem like they are cool or whatever. “I live right next to Saginaw”. The east side (only bad part) of Saginaw is atleast 30-40 minutes outside of Midland, and is the furthest away part of Saginaw. Auburn, Freeland, and Bay City are much closer. I live in Midland and remember when the jealous boyfriend killed himself and wounded one person, that was atleast 10 years ago, so what is your point? It is true and a very sad problem that a lot of kids OD in town, it is a growing epidemic all over the Midwest and east coast especially. Being proud of where you are from is a fine thing, but trying to portray it as something that it is not to try and “fit the mold” is dumb.
You’re wayyyy off man. Do your homework. Southside (Sunnyside) is the worst part of Saginaw. The north side (nuttyside) and east side are just about as bad. the westside isn’t quite as bad though. South wears yellow, north wears blue, and the east wears red. There are beefs between the sides constantly. The gangs are:
4th n kirk posse on the northside, Sunnyside boys on the south side, the eastside gang, Sheridan park on the far south side, Bloomfield boys on the south side as well, not to mention folks, and the Mafia kings which is a Mexican gang. The west side of Saginaw is 20 minutes from midland, and isn’t all that great of a place either. Check your facts before you talk. some of us actually know Saginaw. You clearly haven’t been there for anything besides a spirit game, and it’s obvious you have friends there. But i see what you’re saying, midland is NO Saginaw. But I know John, I went to school with his family, and worked closely with the people who produced his first album. He doesn’t try to be something he’s not. He doesn’t wave guns and throw gang signs in the video. He is just him. He doesn’t rap about violence, gangs, selling drugs, or friends that are in prison. He has ONE consistent message: he is on the come up. He wasn’t born with a silver spoon in his mouth like 99% of midland was (yes I know this for a fact) and his only recurring theme is that he is working hard to get to the top. So cut that hater shit out.
