Be honest: why did he leave barely any legacy behind despite being the biggest artist of his day?I haven't heard a single Gen Z artist say they were influenced by him.
Not a big loss for music.
Him and Peep have basically been forgotten.
His son is being groomed into being a rapper and YouTube kidfluencer.https://www.youtube.com/shorts/7oUVVbz8lHA

>>128855178Hip hop and pop is mostly disposable and just plays some into current trend or dopamine fix of the moment. Calling it slop wasn't a meme.
>>128855303Rap seems to be going back to a more lyrical miracle direction as it falls in mainstream popularity. X will be a footnote in music history alongside Juice WRLD and Pop Smoke. "Legacy" was nothing more than a fanbase of dim-witted zoomer kids who have since moved on.
>>128855303into some*
He will be remembered but that rememberence will always be followed up with him putting bbq scewers in his girlfriends vagina without her consent. Just a weird guy all around. Good songs. Completely dickhead though type of guy to fight his own fans
>>128855224His mother stole his inheritance:https://www.tiktok.com/@jahfroy17/video/7584842342834720031Jenesis (X's baby mama and Gekyume's mom) wasn't in X's will since X wrote his will six months before he got her pregnant. So, when he died, control of his estate went entirely to his mother and two half-brothers since Gekyume wasn't born yet. Jenesis tried suing X's estate to get Gekyume a portion but instead settled for being given a large payment of money. Meaning, Gekyume was completely excluded from his father's estate and will inherit nothing, all because Jenesis was stupid as hell.

>>128855372Boomers and Gen Xers are irrelevant, sorry grandpa.
>>128855386None of them except Juice and Trippie have been clearly influenced by his sound.
>>128855369X used to be top 20 in the US only a few years ago.
>>128855224No one will care about Gekyume or X by the time Gekyume is old enough to start rapping.
he was not musically very distinct even for his time. a real product of his time who was not talented enough to leave a legacy like other dead young artists like cobain.
>>128855178Elvis, Hendrix, Lennon, Marley, Cobain, Pac, and Biggie all became legends due to their legacies being handled very well and those in control of their estates going to huge lengths to ensure they all became staples in popular culture. What has X's mom done to ensure the same for him? Check her IG and it's all luxury porn. Very little about her son.
>>128856062X's wasn't well thought of enough to have a legacy that matches any of the in a way regarded cultural icons
>>128855178>why did he leave barely any legacy behind despite being the biggest artist of his day?3 reasons: He himself mostly contributed to the lyrics. The one who was the backbone of his style was Shiloh Dynasty.Secondly, he was really into occultism. No one can copy an artist that is into occultism, because they are too complex. The references, which make it great, filter the normie.Thirdly, since he was this complex, you can give part of his style to different industry plants and make their whole gist being that style.Give the soft vocals of Shiloh Dynasty to Billie Eilish, the emo lyrics to Juice Wrld, the satanism to Lil Nas X, the disturbing stuff to Kanye, the social commentary to Kendrick and you get the late 10s and early 20s music landscape.Isn't this also what happened to music after the Beatles disbanded? No real copycat, mostly just derivatives?>>128855864>cobainOne trick ponies like cobain and lil peep are very easy to market but they are forgotten pretty fast.
>>128856452>Cobain brought underground sensibilities as well as political thought that people still gravitate toLike what? Glam rock is gay, money is bad, women are cool?>Peep was more or less just like a lo fi punk that was all about going dumb because of muh depression and dropping outPeep brought fent into public discourse, just like Cobain brought heroin.None of them had any lyrics that dealt with anything substancial.They were both expressing the feelings of the troubled youth of their time.They were both edgy for the sake of edginess and they both were talking about dealing with their dread.They both had distinct styles. If they didn't make a song in that style, then they used the average slop that was popular at the time.I honestly see a lot of similarities between them.

K-dot was rapping about social cometary years before X made it big. Lil Nas X is irrelevant. Billie was whisper singing before 17 came out.
>>128855224What the hell is this channel? All of the videos are of Gekyume.
>>128861045Aren’t children under 16 prohibited from having social media accounts in Florida?
>>128861035>K-dot was rapping about social cometary years before X made it big.Nas made it big, for that matter.Mr. Morale was a 100% conscious hip hop album, while his previous projects (before 17) always leaned more into experimental rap.>Lil Nas X is irrelevantLike anything occult. >Billie was whisper singing before 17 came out.She was a Lana Del Rey copycat/SuicideSheep style of EDM singer, which is different from the bedroom pop of her latter albums.Hope you remember when everyone was saying how "she hasn't found her style yet" (back when 6 feet under and ocean eyes dropped), because she was very derivative in her "whisper singing".
>>128857535if anything 4channers care way too much about stupid shit and need to take a chill pill
>>128861250What evidence us there that Mr. Morale was influenced by X?Billie’s style didn’t change that much between her EP and first album.Again, you’re seeing things that aren’t there.
