Guess we will never know.

not bigger than Drake. But popularity wise if he got a light sentence, he could eat a year or 2 in prison on his charges (bc I love X but realistically he wasn't gonna walk) and come out and rebuild. so maybe top 10 streaming #s wise. he would've gone far as f*** man. X had a good life ahead of him

How am Iying man
I legit haven’t heard of those songs before

By listening to this album, you are literally
And I cannot stress this enough
Literally
Entering my mind

That’s crazy cause one of them is diamond.

See how you had to lie to try to compare the two

I don’t think there’s much original value in this thread being made, even as an X stan, but it is a shame that he was killed before he had the opportunity to even put together a catalog that could survive on his own

It’s gonna be pretty hard to explain why this artist was a cult of personality with SoundCloud loosies, one mixtape and an album that might as well been a tape to his name (not to mention the posthumous nonsense)

No.

The man had a tree tatted on his forehead.... I highly doubt it lol

Bro Sad! Was huge bro do you only listen to Drake or sumn? I'm legitimately confused how someone who lives on a hip hop forum, missed a #1 record from one of the biggest rappers of the modern era. S*** cap like hat dog

Good for them
My crowd doesn’t listen to xxx

If it was a casual I would understand. No way you haven't heard of some of the biggest hits from literally the biggest rapper of the new gen when you live on ktt.

just realized this smh

Even though I've heard the song before, I've never heard it outside of KTT/Youtubers/streamers tbh. Not even on the radio.

It's not a stretch that some people who don't really listen to him know or remember those songs.

Also not ragging on him by saying he's bound to the internet.

Mine doesn’t either. I still know of the song

Uzi is someone who I feel is a better projection of how X would’ve played out than Drake

Just bc I feel X would’ve had multiple lapses where his popularity would’ve been stymied. He was too “dirty” to have a trajectory that only went straight up, while Drake is this ever safe dude that only cares about popularity

You just said it yourself, outside of ktt. That's my point. That song was huge here and in general, how you miss both and nigga been on this site since I was in middle school

idk if he’d be bigger than Drake, but it’s undeniable that him & Juice would be absolutely massive had they still been alive. They likely did not actually hit their peaks in popularity yet and they for sure would have been some of the biggest generational artists. I’m not a massive stan of any of them by any means, but it’s just undeniable how big they were.

X would’ve also had to keep up his hype while in jail and post jail (assuming he went to prison)

That would’ve been a lot harder to judge two years out when you had Juice, Uzi, Baby etc to compete with

But he also said him and his crowd don't listen to that music, so it's still understandable. There's been "big" songs posted up here that I haven't heard because I don't listen to that type of music or artist. The song(s) were still big though regardless, but it's just not surprising that someone hasn't heard it.

Using your own subjective experiences to say if a song was real life big or not is always dumb but Sad! was objectively a big song lol

My walk of life doesn’t matter but it got burn on the radio in the heart of southern Alabama

Where do they rank on the cult scale relative to Beyhive, Minaj fans, and Kpop twitter
