he really was, underrated asf

They were young and just starting out…

I mean when he died

word salad

People be weird man they can’t acknowledge artist dying young before they could develop more is what ruined rap scene

You're just moving goalposts. Just because Kanye collabed with Lil Pump it just makes his opinions on music irrelevant? You don't have to like X but to say everyone only cosigned him for clout sounds silly

yea xxx was super problematic too, it's possible his issues might have landed him in jail anyway

Weird as f*** lol. We would’ve been having this same convo about Dot, Drake, or Cole if God forbid any of them went out after just establishing their name and art.

nah if Cole passed after his debut album people would be s***ting on him harder than Juice Wrld

they were shaping up to become major pillars in the game for years to come and hadn't even tapped into their full potential yet, ppl don't miss them for no reason, insane loss

game so f***ed up after that we let Yachty get away with making a fake Tame Impala album (which I enjoyed) and we called that s*** groundbreaking

X SAVE US

well I would hope not 🫣

Dollar and a Dream III got me through some long bus rides home

album better in retrospect but the expectations at the time were illmatic level

Condolences.

Their music was so ass though.

Except for Pop Smoke

damn fr? sheeesh

born sinner is a much better follow up I will say. great album. A hot take classic imo.

CLARENCE PARENTS HAD A REAL NICE MARRIAGE

THIS MUSIC FOR REAL DEPRESSED HEADS ;___; UWU

They only respect certain black artist . Yes the quality of music , aims and lyrics are different but they all deserved to live

I mean Rapsody might disagree

he definitely had a hand in getting Little Simz on Ab Soul tour

Paak with Tints and Black Panther

got BADBADNOTGOOD a Grammy

got SZA the biggest song of her career

Keem

Jay Rock biggest hits

Exactly this. People lack basic empathy. Like for somebody to say “only depressed people” like their music is so disingenuous and just says a lot about that person and how they perceive others. It’s not even worth arguing or replying back to some of these cats after a certain point.

& took Doechii on a stadium tour with him.

But oh she makes sweet potato nail tech give us us free music or whatever the f***. Nvm. Industry plant!!

unfortunately that's true for the majority, literally couldn't imagine

the artists he took on his first big tour

Anderson .Paak
Travis Scott
DRAM
YG
James Blake
SiR

but let a KTT user tell it, he put no one on lol. Travis dropped Astroworld after this tour just for a perspective

It makes sense

They both have worked with artists for reasons outside of the artists undeniable talent. Either to have a certain image (look at all of those whos all over the last Kendrick album) to stay current (rich the kid collabs, too many Kanye collabs to even say)

Just because they hyped a guy up I wouldn't say "wow they must really believe in this dude!" Especially when I listen to the music and it's complete and total butt

goosebumps still one of trav’s biggest records

they just purposely obtuse to s***

couldn’t be me
