Being as obtuse as I am, this thought really never occurred to me! For me it seemed like a logical downward progression (and amalgamation as @omitaylor mentions above) of current hiphop trends over the past few years (lil wayne-->chief keef-->slim jesus-->stitches-->6ix9in...) settling on its new low of position itself within an even younger demographic. But now you have me thinking....I'm sort of hoping this is all a parody, because if it is, it certainly caught me with my pants down. But if it is a parody, it better have a very sharp resolution that is super slick/clever!
