For Michael Irvin, Tut Tarantino’s street cred doesn’t pass the dad test.

The sports commentator and NFL veteran, father of rapper Tut Tarantino, criticized his son’s hip-hop persona during an appearance on “Undisputed” published Thursday. Irvin brought up Tarantino's rap image during a panel discussion of NBA player Ja Morant.

“I got a son. He raps. His rap name is Tut Tarantino,” Irvin said. “If you ever listen to some of his raps, I’m like, ‘Oh my god. Where does this come from, son?' You grew up in a gated community your whole life.”

Tarantino has released two albums to date, “Tarantino World” and “Free Brack, Pt. One.” The rapper’s latest singles include “Jokes Up!”, “First” and “Whip Work.”

“He’s rapping my life ‘cause we romanticize and fantasize about that old thug life, ghetto life and all of that stuff, when we used to work to get away from,” Irvin said. “Now, we’ve gotten to a place somehow (that) we’re running back towards it: in the music, in everything.”

Tarantino isn’t the only rapper who’s attracted scrutiny of their hip-hop persona in recent years.

Teen influencer and rapper Lil Tay went viral in 2018 with several videos of her flashing wads of cash while seated in fancy cars and doing house tours. She self-labeled as the "youngest flexer" and now has more than 3 million followers on Instagram.

"People think it's funny, I guess, cause I'm 9 years old and I've accomplished so much," she said on "Good Morning America" in May 2018. "I'm the youngest flexer. I can do anything I like. If they don’t believe me, I don't care."

Lil Tay is alive, living with her momafter custody, child support battle in Canada
