I understand completely. I can understand people being indifferent, but the celebrating and being pissed at other people for a simple RIP, that just felt dark to me, especially after seeing him slumped over in his car, nobody helping, and knowing his family will be haunted by that clip forever. His passing in itself doesn't bother me too much, I wasn't a fan and didn't feel a personal connection to him, I mean I thought he was a total piece of shyt, but everything else surrounding this has left me uncomfortable. I couldn't focus on my work thinking about this last night.
:mjlol:

:dahell: As a HH head from way back I can honestly say that I never heard of him until yesterday.

I can't go through the entire thread, but can someone name songs or albums of his worth checking out??

RIP to this breh.

He was extremely talented. I was excited to see his career progress, especially as he got his severe bipolar disorder under control and made amends with those he'd hurt.

Very, very sad to see someone so young and gifted go out like this.

He was really talented at crafting melodies, which might be the most important aspect of creating music. He wasn’t the most prolific writer, but his versatility allowed him to cross genres. His last album had rock music, rap, and carribean influenced dance music - all of which he could make at a pretty high level.

My girl texted me and said did you see the theory that drake killed xxx.

Lmao what??? :heh:

That’s the most random shyt I ever heard. Drake will never catch a body. He ain’t that type of dude.

Yea he won’t kill you

He’ll just fuk your mom, your sister, and your baby mama

He made good, sometimes even great music, across a number of different genres breh.

How someone goes from making "Riot", and rapping well beyond the abilities of the vast majority of 19 year olds getting heavy burn right now, to making songs that could've been straight out of an early Nirvana album...shyt blows my mind.

I was excited to see him progress. Especially as he started to get his mental health under control.

I remember shytting on him as an artist a few months back but still people felt his music and unfortunately a lot young Black men's lives are snuffed out before they can really enjoy the fruits of their labor. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.
