XXXtentacion had REAL s*** happening in his life and depression went hand in hand with that

He died and the industry replaced him with someone who was doing well mentally until d**** took over Juice WRLD , so his pain was a lil less real than X. Still real tho

Then Juice died and the industry replaces him with kid laroi he has had 0 problems in life and his depression is a complete fabrication and marketing gimmick. There's levels to pain and

Most of juice wrld music is available on widely used streaming services whereas X soundcloud stuff is stuck on the platform and YouTube and is less accessible to a wider audience

So I'd say Juice has bigger impact because his work is more readily available

But if X team did there job properly and released like an biopic and put his soundcloud work on streaming then he would have tge bigger impact

1000% u sure bout that? I once heard X literally talking about the frequency of music and tuning it a certain way so that it hits you a certain way

Crazy how impact can be held back just bc of a dying music platform and YouTube "premium" bs

X was a god to the youth. Regardless, its safe to say both would be running s*** if they were still around. F***ing crazy that they could've been potential leaders of this s*** but now they're both gone

Y'all downplaying Juice itt

smh

If X and Juice was alive rap would be in a different direction currently

Juice and its not even close tbh

Bias aside

I think Juice was the better artist musically, like man his rapping ability and the melodies he was making at 19 just put him ahead of X.

Commercially Juice was obviously bigger, but he also had more time in the industry to make connections plus he wasn’t a problematic person outside of music

That being said X’s influence is bigger and his cult following is more apparent. You can hear a lot of X’s sound is Juice’s music and even the whole emo rap persona was definitely at least partially inspired by Uzi and X

Also Juice came in at a prime time during a vacuum where X had just died and Uzi was on a hiatus so he had a perfect opportunity to sweep up the Uzi + X fan base

pre death X was bigger than pre death juice

them dying skewed things

Not really it just showed Juice was a lot more popular than people gave him credit for and his career trajectory was looking promising if LND say anything

not really

pop smoke album outsold juice world's you would be surprised how much death helps

? is 3x platinum
17 is 2x platinum

Pop smoke album had more songs and a deluxe

pop smoke album did over 860k this year while juice's did under 300k

the deluxe didn't do that much anyway

Pretty sure Juice did over 300k in week 1

Kid laroi is white privilege music, been known

yea i know its kinda hard to compare.

? was bigger than goodbye good riddance. but everything else isnt really a fair comparison

kid laroi a pop singer he shouldn't even be in this convo.

From a outside perspective I don’t know how anyone doesn’t chose X. The versatility and range X had within is music was way wider and better than Juice imo. You can argue which was better. But impact is easily X. He’s legit the 2pac of the new generation. I hate comparisons but he was a main figure to them

Because Uzi the mainstream artist with multiple hit singles is so hard to digest for casual listeners

lmao X last few projects were hardly even rap
