Idk feel like everyone’s gonna give a different answer depending on how old they are and how much they connected with the music but it’s over now they made an impact clearly whether or not they would’ve had 11.2 billion streams or whatever post death only matters so much

Lil Peep death started it all and death of soundcloud rap, after peep sc rap was associated with heavy d*** use abuse

Damn I had this exact thought earlier today about Xxxtentacion and Pop Smoke

lil peep was real as f*** man his music was different

Bro was the truest emo rapper tbh
Uzi real af for saying he was trying to copy his voice preset in early 2017

Uniqueness
Creativity
Authenticity

Call em sad bois or whatever but they genuinely felt the things they rap/sung about

Repped where they were from

Had an identity to themselves

Weren’t afraid to branch out and collab with artists from different arenas

Something that not every new artist today can say

These mfs actually tried and seemed like they gave a f*** about their craft

<3

That tweet got everyone mad as s*** lol

Pop Smoke the only one that fked me up the drill scene in NY was going crazy and him as the front liner so much potencial man

I still hear people blasting his music outside to this day.

I don’t know how much longevity they all would have had if they were still around but they all definitely made a huge impact when they were alive.
