Wow I’m old, I remember this nightmare.
Depending on your age Mactonight are two completely different things. If your gen-x or millennial Mactonight is the weird fast food mascot you saw at McDonald's 20 years ago. If your a zoomer Mactonight is Moonman, the vaporwave, alt-right rapper who loves to say the n-word and kill minorities.
I remember my dad listening to Moonman songs.
I’m an older millennial who’s fairly into vaporwave and I’ve never heard of this racist rapper version of mac tonight. The food mascot from the 80s (twenty years ago was 2004, btw) fits in with the 80s samples vaporwave uses, like this Saint Pepsi track:

This is the one I found as well. I wonder what happened to saint Pepsi?
I can't find the video, but i saw someone interview him, and PepsiCo asked him to use a different name.
He now goes by Skylar Spence. It's a different genre, but I love the songs he's released under that name.
I saw him in concert in 2017 under Skylar Spence, but he flipped back to Saint Pepsi for his 2019 release, so he must have figured that out somehow.
