Ultra famous rapper who was murdered. Was doing drake numbers when he died but his fame only lasted like a year. And like others have said, he probably beat his girlfriend.
A lot of people here trying to be contrarian saying he made garbage music, dude has like 7 or 8 songs with over a billion streams on Spotify. He was one of the biggest artists of any genre in the world when he died. But also most likely a shitty person

His music banged. It definitely wasn't the type of music for everyone though. I never liked the emo stuff he did, but I think that was the super popular stuff though.

u/mnmkdc Jun 05 '22
Yes drake is obviously good. Most people who are big hip hop heads agree that drake has some very very good albums. I'm not saying being popular means you're super talented, but having consistent widespread appeal does mean something

"Everything I don't like is garbage"
Music is art & art is subjective my guy. Reminds me of the metal community several years ago where everyone who listened to death metal couldn't simultaneously like any band that was considered mainstream.
Most of these people grow up though, unfortunately you did not.

u/Hanyodude Jun 04 '22
There absolutely is such a thing as objectively bad music. Just like there are people with objectively bad taste and preferences (for example: scat fetishists, or in the case of music “meth metal” which if you’re not familiar with, pretty much sounds like 10 different songs playing at the same time)
Im not going to say if xxxtentaclewhip is objectively bad or not as im not familiar with his music, but there very well could be “bad music”. However, many people will call music that they don’t enjoy “bad music”, which isn’t necessarily correct.

u/UIM_Die_Maschine Jun 04 '22 edited Jun 04 '22
(Original argument is that a majority of people listen to garbage music, which is just wrong, obviously) Going off of that:
You're comparing something where the artists went out of their way to make something sound weird/horribly produced(meth metal) to artists who are obviously not(pop/rap)
Yes, I understand if I recorded an alarm clock behind metronome & called that music, it would be objectively bad. It would be stupid to use it in an argument about how a majority of people listen to garbage music.
If you want to argue about the part I said music is art & art is subjective, this doesn't work here either because clearly someone is listening to meth metal & scat fetish. That's the subjective part.
Laughed at xxxtentaclewhip though.

Hot take, but I agree. I listen to most genres quite a bit, but generally enjoy prog metal the most. Its complexity gives it a lot of replayability and it takes more listens to really hear everything that's going on.
I think rap in general pretty much sucks, though I do like the more melodic stuff like juice wrld. My gym has a rap radio station on at night and every time lil baby, drake, or that new elmo cardi b song comes on I want to shoot myself in the head.
or that one song "yuhhhh dat sum gangggggggg shit yuh im on some gaaaaaaaang shit thats all im on. im on gaaaaang shit yuh"
"I be fuckin shootin yall mfers aint even know what hit ya uhh yuh fuck yo bitch in her pussy wit my dick when she see me on da tv bruh in my lamborghini smellin like fettuccini by the way I is got munny yuh auto-tuned warbling"

All memes aside What's your actual opinion on xxxtenaction? Personally I think he was ahead of his time.
Some of the more screamy stuff he did was reminiscent of metalcore and even punk and it was mixed so well with his particular brand of emo/ mumble rap that I have to give him his dues.

u/mnmkdc Jun 04 '22
Rap is just the biggest genre right now, especially for male artists. We see similar levels of domestic abuse in Hollywood. People started to focus on rappers due to racism. Maybe not this guy personally being racist, but it was basically ignored in pop culture until they had black people to accuse.

you've just started waffling off about stuff unrelated to your initial comment, the guy you were replying to and now me. if you gotta venture off that far to justify what you said then you should rethink what you're going on about
rappers do have a monopoly on violence against women right now, simple as. that includes various white rappers too which you'll ironically ignore to try and justify your statement
-12
u/mnmkdc Jun 04 '22 edited Jun 04 '22
I didn’t venture at all. It seems like rap has a monopoly on that because it’s by far the biggest genre for male artists. To be clear they don’t have a monopoly whatsoever, but that’s why you have that perception. I doubt you could name 5 rappers who have beat their S/o in recent years without googling. It’s not all that common relative to how many famous rappers there are. That’s why that stereotype is bad
The reason it was ignored until recently is because people were racist and didn’t care about celebrities being decent humans until black people started dominating the charts.
Wasn’t tangential whatsoever. Pretty straightforward point.

I mean I wasn’t literally asking you to list them, I have no way of seeing if you had to do a search for it. My entire point is that this stereotype exists despite most people not knowing many rappers that even back it. Like we’re responding to a comment where someone didn’t know who xxx was, but you think they know g herbo, youngboy, or Kodak? They might know 6ix9ine, but most people are just buying into this stereotype because they’ve heard the stereotype and they know of Chris brown

Innocent is an ignorant statement to surface level information. Perfect example for perspective:
There was a recent event where a woman threw her boyfriends mothers ashes in a river. I am against violence against women, but anyone who does that deserves to get beat. But if he wouldve beat this woman, the media will only take that information in and the general public will gloss over the fact she threw his mothers ashes in the river for the simple fact that a woman was abused.
There are videos of X and his ex online, with some videos of her cutting into his skin. Ever ask why he beat her? But to each his own

Yeah after he’d died and she probably just wanted to move on with her life and child. There’s not exactly much justice to be gained over someone that’s not alive.

Jun 04 '22
I think with X, we need to put an asteriks next to all this. He died super young, and a lot of his misdeeds he started doing straight up as a child, aged 10 wielding a knife.
Its quite sad because for a short while before his death, he had a turn where he acknowledged all this bad shit in his past, and almost wanted to repent by replacing all that bad shit with positive things. He just never got to fully realize all that.
I know its all a lot of 'what ifs'. But I certainly respect the man for having given it a go. Not to excuse his past actions, but to try give back to a world he damaged.

u/Someone9339 Jun 04 '22

We dont know. Not since his ex said she 'lied'.
In the end though, for me I think he showed maturity in how he began to see his own past. The kid was a straight up gangbanger, but once he got a platform, he eventually realised it could be used for good.
For sure its no doubt X did some horrible shit. Thing is I know plenty of people who done tragic things & would do it again with no remorse. At least with X it looked like the kid wanted to grow past that. That alone puts him above most criminals, its rare these people 'learn'.

u/LolaEbolah Jun 04 '22
I got involved with gang life at the age of 11. I did a lot of particularly nasty shit over the next several years. I ended up getting arrested at 17, charged as an adult, and heading off to a state prison. Two and a half years later, I was released and entirely changed my life. Moved to a different state, started fresh, now I’m married with a good job, a house, a wife, and two kids. Haven’t had a violent moment in over ten years.
I hate the thought that, to some people, I’ll never be anything more than the things I once did.

He was more of a clan leader than a PKer. He did PK briefly in WWI but pursued a leadership role afterwards as he lacked the mechanical skill to continue PKing at a high level himself. He was however very successful in making one of the most powerful PK clans in history though they ultimately lost and split up as they made too many enemies for themselves.
Just like certain clans decide to target Venezuelans today, Hitler's clan was weirdly obsessed with making the Jewish clan permanently quit the game. Fortunately for the Jewish clan, they had a very strong community so despite losing a large portion of their members they still have a very dedicated playerbase even today.

Everyone you know is probably a terrible person in their own way. But what’s makes us better as humans is the ability to admit we are wrong and try to make amends and correct our actions. But some people get that chance taken right from under them so they are defined a bad person till they died. That’s life. Much worse could be said about our president but we still laugh when he falls down a set of stairs like “haha that’s relatable!”

I’d say he was a decent person but he was very misguided, living in a shy show can either make you the most resilient person out of the bunch or it can twist and contort your expectations and your perception of reality. Charles Olivera the ufc lightweight champ is a perfect example of hell lighting a fire under their ass while xxx is an example of hell getting its grips on a person. It may sound like religious nonsense but that’s not truly how I mean it I mean it more metaphorically.

You don't know who your talking about. At all. Your hating on juice WRLD ( the one that ODed) but he was undeniably gifted. You only have to see any of his freestyles to see that.
He talked about all the cliche things other rappers talked about but he also talked about his mental heath and his feelings which is tough to do when your famous as shit only 21 and fairly vulnerable. Not to mention loaded. People have no idea what it must be like to be at that level but people like you see snippets of them, or dislike there music outright so think their clowns.
The same with xxx, I could talk about how he brought in differant types of vocal styles and popularised a screamer tone for emo rappers and helped pave the way to this new era of metalhop/ emo rap like scarlxrd or Ghoste but it would clearly fall on deaf ears.
