Yesterday, YouTuber Ben J. Pierce, also known as KidPOV on YouTube, excited all levels of social media when he posted a creative YouTuber Impressions Rap to his channel.
And boy, we sure are impressed!

At the beginning of the video, Pierce addresses his audience’s consistent plea for collaboration videos with other YouTubers or celebrities, and goes on to announce that he will be getting all of those collaborations done at once.
However, as fans of KidPOV watch their screens eagerly, it soon becomes apparent that there aren’t any collaborations. Instead, viewers are rewarded with Pierce’s humorous impressions of fellow YouTuber friends, such as Connor Franta and Grace Helbig.
Now, this isn’t the first time someone has tried to make impressions of YouTubers; almost every prominent YouTuber has done an impression video sometime in their online career.
What we especially love about what Ben has accomplished isn’t just that his impressions are reasonably accurate –– it’s that he was able to rhythmically rap his impressions to a catchy beat, a feat that hasn’t been done before by YouTubers of similar magnitude.
We also love the cute props and outfits Ben included, like a blonde wig to look like Hannah Hart and thick glasses to look like Tyler Oakley.
Those YouTubers that were included in Pierce’s rap took to Twitter to express their amusement.
