50 Tyson: Autistic YouTube star from the Twin Cities [VIDEO]

50 Tyson is taking YouTube by storm.
50 Tyson is the latest viral YouTube phenomenon to emerge from the Twin Cities.

The 16-year-old kid--who really does resemble a cross between 50 Cent and Mike Tyson--has 3.8 million views of his YouTube mirror rap.

Now he is turning his fame into a chance for autism advocacy.

If you haven't seen the video yet, watch this:



There are a lot of great moments in this video. Perhaps the best is when 50 Tyson forgets how old he will be next year and turns it into an opportunity for a remix.

Recently, 50 Tyson got a chance to re-record the song with all the real hip hop trappings. The best part is that 50 Tyson makes the Mall of America look big pimpin'.



Mike Jones made a whole career out of raps like this.

Also: That is the worst spelling of "premiere" that I have ever seen.
