The Darkest Angel

Wild ass post. Rip X but absolutely not the case with him tho. Maybe he could've redeemed his image later on but we'll never know

good boy

I fully believe x was an angel sent to us from whatever god you believe.

he presented us a child - not a man. a 20 year old child who was clearly flawed and clearly wise beyond his years.

for almost a year he showed nothing but positivity and his following wasn’t over looks or music - it was over the way he made them FEEL wanted and important in the world. he publicly stated that he wants to right his wrongs but he doesn’t know if it’s too late.

then, we all watched him get murdered. 8 million followers, millions of dollars, gunned down over a petty 50k. lifeless body all on the internet.

remember he died in 2018, when woke culture was first touching the mainstream. mental illness, and protecting minorities from poverty and gun violence are the main points right?

so this black CHILD, who grew up in poverty, gets killed from gun violence. and I saw people who’s entire brand was being woke say he deserved it.

his purpose was to pose a question. we’re all flawed, can humans forgive? can you forgive a CHILD, for doing the worst of the worst, if they show true change? to me, that is his legacy forever. and to me, like Kanye said, not supporting him publicly over his allegations was the true sunken place. hating someone even after such a tragedy is the sunken place. x did better for himself. we can all do so, so much better. and we can definitely start by forgiving someone who went through so much agony, only to end up as caring and positive as he was in his final year.

I'm not expecting anyone to agree with me, he was already on that path before he died as well.

I've seen ppl here and on social media say he deserved to die, it's crazy.

Why do we have to infantilize and romanticize young male figures who clearly had patterns of being terrible human beings because we enjoyed the media they made for us to consume? Then use things like charity and fan interactions - the absolute bare minimum for any current day mainstream musician - to justify it as a rebuttal to their heinous ways

Like…he was an “angel sent from God” is nuts, and might be the worst form of idol worship and shirking accountability for someone you like. You guys use language to mitigate what he did like “he made mistakes BUT”. No sir. He didn’t make mistakes he made choices. He wasn’t a kid he was a grown ass man with full autonomy. And no amount of religious allusions will change that reality
you get extra nasty points for using the black kid card

There’s also an element of you being the non-black consumer of black art archetype that doesn’t see black artists as three dimensional human beings but you think you’re better than a racist cause it manifests ‘positively’ in the form of infantilism rather than demonizing

But that’s another topic 😊

Let's not forget that this lil mf was a straight up demon at one point, but i do believe surrounded by the right people and being kept out of certain environments he would have been able to grow

I mean if you watch his documentary, it gave u a pretty raw look at who this guy was. He was a really violent kid with a lot of problems. But towards the end of his life, he was seeing a therapist, was getting on medication for his mental health problems, and was working on himself. It seemed like he was trying to do better and I think as a 20 year old, he deserved a chance. 20 years old isn't even old enough to develop a pattern of behavior. His life was literally just beginning
