Are we still talking about the wife beater?

I thought it was a pregnant girlfriend. IDK. RIP Tough Actin’ Tinactin

He was very talented. His first album debuted at #2 on the billboard 100 and his second album debuted at #1. He made alot of changes and the growth was nice to watch

He wasnt married

She was his ex girlfriend.

She admitted to placing blame on him for her injuries when he had nothing to do with it smh.

Source? A quick google search shows plenty of links about the abuse and pending charges. I don't see any links about her recanting the abuse.

smh.

Being talented doesn't excuse being an appalling human being.

i have a feeling if this guy was known instead as the world’s greatest hot dog vendor, his fans wouldn’t be out celebrating his life.

A hot dog vendor got locked in a freezer and died at the Braves ballpark today. Baseball fans in the stadium were mildly attentive to his passing.

Imsippinteainyohood gets me pumped before every poker session. X was a legend.

I'm gonna drop 'sippin tea in your hood' on my keed next chance I get.

Gonna give a big old 'wat' to this

Not true at all by the way

Bazooka,

So, you know, pretty much hundreds of thousands!

Is 6ix9ine dead yet? That's a rapper death I could really get behind.

Not a pawn show watcher, I assumed it was the person known as Les Gold that just died. Didn't know who The Old Man was.

RIP America. You have always sucked but this is going to take it to a whole other level.

The History Channel did a tribute flashback episode for him last night, fwiw. Chumlee somehow looks the same as he did on the show.

xxxtentacion's most recent video was released today. You'll see him walking up to his own casket to say goodbye to his old self. Unreal he's killed so soon after making the video. Its not to late for anyone to change and become a better person.

Were you his agent? Trying to figure out how you were tied to him financially.

Nope just a grieving fan.

Huge fan too here H0RUS, but some battles just ain't worth fighting. Especially ones rooted in culture. Some people are just going to look at a scary black kid with face tats and domestic violence charges from when he was 17 and use that as the foundation in their stance on how they and everyone else should view X because they can't compartmentalize the person from the music.

The development of X as an adult over the past year was a real feel good story if you were a fan of his. I can't remember a hip hop artist in a long time that experimented with music so much in this short of a time period and gain the cult following that he did. A lot of people make the 2Pac comparisons, and I can see why. Overall talent wise, 2 Pac's body of work is light years ahead of anything X has ever done, but Tupac also died at 25, XXX lost his life at 20..... waaaaaaay before he even got a chance to find himself as an artist. The people he touched by the spirit that he was feels exactly to me like how it was when Tupac got killed and I saw all of my older friends and relatives mourning like they lost a family member. X just had a one of a kind soul and millions going through depression, hopelessness, anxiety, love-lost just identified with him through the music.

This story is a real freaking tragedy. His death hit me especially hard after losing my dad on Fathers Day just one day before. I feel bad for the people who really loved him that still hold pain, depression, and despair in their hearts. The kid turned over a new leaf in his life, served his time, tried to right all of his wrongs (ending beefs with Ski, Rob $tone, his abused ex-GF, & others) all for it to be taken away over over some cash in a bookbag. The kid literally *JUST* got his **** together. Sucks that it's always "your own" that end up doing you in.

Like you would have been all broken up if you weren't a fan of the music.

I'm more of a fan for his advocacy of helping people going through mental health issues. I like his edgier music around the time of the Revenge EP than the current stuff. There's a dozen other acts that do the acid-rap/trip-hop better, but how many 20 year olds are really making great music? He was more of an artist just finding his range that was killed before he was completely polished as an act.

Foatie,


I dont know much about X, so I won’t comment on his situation. However, people compartmentalizing the person from the music is exactly what enabled R Kelly’s behavior all these years. So I’m not sure that’s really something to aspire to.
