its funny how people cant accept this
i remember going to play ball at the park in 2018 before he died and kids LITTLE KIDS (like 9 & 10 year olds) were singing LOOK AT ME, Jocelyn Flores, F*** Love. Its true man he had generations on lock, and that would of translated to album sales and merch, so yea saying he would of been as big or bigger than drake isnt a reach
Gods Plan was bigger than all of those. Scorpion outsold '?' by millions. Pre death X wasnt even that big.
Facts, the impact this nigga had on a whole generation was unreal. Mfs just hate to admit it

The same could be said for designer if he blew up off a second song and died shortly after.. but ok
No he wasnt lmao
He wouldn’t have even been bigger than juicewrld

Post with 3 entries, Drake and X with 2, Juice, Kendrick and Travis all with 1.
Who knows where his career would have gone if he survived, but I think it’s plausible that he would’ve made some more radio friendly hits and hat would have made him even more popular. But based off the numbers, he was one of the biggest names of the 2010’s.
If anything he may be out of here if he was still alive
Tory was blackballed for something we don’t even know if he actually did yet
I’m pretty sure there would be an uproar with triple x, forcing the entire industry to blackball him. I can’t imagine someone who abused women the way he did being bigger than drake
Hell, part of why drake is who he is is because he’s been able to keep a relatively clean image
The same could be said for designer if he blew up off a second song and died shortly after.. but ok
You really comparing xxxtentacion to desiigner LMFAO

You gave to appeal to more than the youth to be on Drake or even Kendrick's level though.
The Big 3 had both old heads and Zoomers bumping their music and respecting them. And they were able to sell out arenas on tour cause of that.
I be seeing Hispanics and Arabs over the age of 35 playing Drake songs in some of their shops and bodegas. Not sure if XXX would be able to have that reach.

Xxx’s mentality > his music, songs speak for themselves dawg
The same could be said for designer if he blew up off a second song and died shortly after.. but ok
Cmon now with that comparison …. Xxx was doing crazy numbers before he passed, he def had the potential to be one of the greatest

Bro something eerily similar happened with me. I was on a bus headed to work and there was a summer camp filled with like 10-12 year olds. And they had rip X written on their faces and were listening to his songs. Keep in mind this was like a few days after his death, so they definitely listened to him before. I thought it was wild af
He really didn't even start doing crossover collabs yet before he died bc of his image. But he probably would've been seen in a better light with his son and all and started getting some huge features...could easily see him and Billie having a megahit or two by now.
No he didn't. He didnt even have 10% the talent Drake has.
What basis do you even have for that
He would not be able to pass him unfortunately because his music was not as consistently poppy as Drake's plus his aesthetic wouldn't sit comfortably for the typical person
What be compelling be niggas to make threads like this
I feel like his impact is exaggerated, I think pop smoke and juice was on track to get drake level popularity more then xxx
Obviously I’m just going based off personal experiences but I’ve heard way more people bump pop smoke&juice music than xxx music
By agreeing to this, you are implying that X would have been the biggest rapper in the world by just about every metric.
So he would have been bigger than Kendrick, Cole, Ye, Trav etc.
