nah i don’t really care about the topic of this thread that much i just recognized your typing style and vocabulary

i wondered where u went, your other account was MIA

i requested my old main banned and i just made this to keep a lower profile but sometimes dumb threads like this bring the old me back

how do u know this?

Nope

dam what i figured artists' contracts would just nullify if the artist died

how

yup, it’s kind of ridiculous but empire wanted their 10 mil back.

his team “cash grabbing” is mostly a big misconception. his mom actually paid for a lot of the production and promotion for bad vibes forever out of pocket. there were always gonna be 2 posthumous x albums they just didn’t have much to work with unfortunately and it shows

Yeah, SoundCloud era legend therefor making him a legend during a phase/state of hip hop that was also important

Only people that say no probably think Gibbs and Earl are

I think so but this generation doesn't play about domestic abuse (and we shouldn't). His music was great but his past is a part of his legacy.

Thank god he was here to, uh, tell kids it's okay to be sad while stabbing people and holding women hostage

Whole Lotta Kings

Quit hating

I can already tell u hate the nigga so Imma just say, that wasn't his message at all lol.

Really loaded question because of how closely his music was related to his non-music antics. He was by no means a transcendent musician, but in a few decades he'll be one of the more iconic acts from this era. I'd say yes, he's a legend in the mind of the public, but I don't really feel that his output justifies that perception

Yeah Nas wishes he was a mediocre SoundCloud rapper

Here is my pain and thoughts put into words. I put my all into this in the hopes that it will help cure, or at least numb your depression. I love you.

XXXTENTACION, The Explanation

Lmao this proves my point even more, theirs no where in those lyrics that tell kids to harm themselves or dangerous s*** like that.

are you in the music industry? how did you speak to these people?

also yeah, X's team gets a bad rap. idk what people wanted them to do ,he literally died. they tried their best with what they had, which isn't a lot.

One example is taking Tyga off BVF and replacing him with Joyner Lucas

So many of the decisions they made completely s*** all over X's artistry and it doesnt matter if his mom payed for the features out of pocket because X would never have made songs with half those mfs

if you’re 14-25 absolutely

I’m sort of in the industry but my connections with those people came about mostly as a result of me being fairly early on X (at least in comparison to most of his fans nowadays) and putting in a decent amount of work to build his fan community.

yes
