'When Sllime did reach a new level of notoriety, though, it was for something no one had expected: in July he woke up to find that YouTube had banned his channel for a song he’d made in 2020 called 'Sell Coke to White Folks, Pt. 2.'' | Alejandro Hernandez
“Basically they said my video was harmful and dangerous content and that I was selling illegal products over the Internet. They put it in the same category as bomb making,” Sllime explains.
“It’s clearly a joke and a fake infomercial—I don’t even see how someone could be confused. I felt robbed and like there was nothing I could do. Out of all the shit on YouTube, why did I get censored?The song repeats its title in a tongue-in-cheek call-and-response chorus, and the video is an absurd parody of TV ads—Sllime flies in space via green screen in one scene, and in another actors rub each other’s faces in white powder.
Sllime spent three months appealing to YouTube to get his channel back, though even when it was finally restored, “Sell Coke to White Folks, Pt. 2” didn’t come with it. Despite the obvious setbacks the takedown caused him, Sllime has built up his underground legend by fighting a battle with an Internet giant—and he’s making the most of his second chance on YouTube’s platform.
