his manager said in music not just hip hop

Jaden Smith is a happier version of who he’s feeling like on a particular day lol

imagine taking jaden smith seriously

then hes wrong because ed sheeran has done it already

Jaden makes better music tbh

He’s not independent

This honestly kiiiinda makes sense

Both are and were super try hards, so yeah.

XXX has 4 SOLO songs hit a billion streams on Spotify. But there are a few artists with more that 4 songs w a billion streams.

You can say that about Cudi Tyler and Trav too

two niggas that inspired X? LMAO

No, that's Dominic Fike.

X music was super mid, and every fan of his i've ever met or spoken to was super young lol i'm convinced this dude whole fanbase was just teens

His rapping wasn't all that, his song about depression weren't deep and always fell flat for me. Juice WRLD was even more angsty but actually made it work

The screaming songs where fun when they just came out but it got stale quick

I'm crine at "dirty slums of Florida"

He from Plantation

X could never

I liked ur post cuz I thought u were making fun of jaden but as soon as I realized that wasn’t the case I snatched that mf back, wym jaden is a little nicer when it comes to music

He is. Listen to both of their music. Most of X’s music was raw unfinished demos. He’s still going down as a legend but it is what it is.

Niggas don’t actually listen to Jaden so it seems like an outrageous comparison

Year old thread for this s*** take?

I just listened to by and idk it just feels like jaden has 0 authenticity. Like it might sound good sonically or it might make sense but it just gives me the same feeling I get from ur weekly top pop hit. Soulless

It’s just me at the end of the day but I feel like this is what truly seperates the two of them x felt more real

I feel like that’s just you knowing what his background is and projecting that onto the music.

Cause IMO numb is just some s*** a white band would’ve made in like 07 that would’ve been pasted over a naruto AMV

I think X would’ve been better no question if he never died or went to prison

Fair, that might be a factor. But he can go from numb to infinity on the same album and I feel like his versatility is also a big reason he’s miles ahead of jaden. Jadens subject matter sounds all “l.a kid spoiled but sad” type vibe. I could be generalizing but that’s why I could never connect

Ya also I agree with ur last part, his life was cut too short smh

Yeah I feel you on that La kid spoiled but sad point

Damn, almost got me til I realized the date on this thread

I like u OP but cmon now
