The rap world was rocked last week when burgeoning emo rapper Lil Peep died of an overdose at just 21 years old. In addition to the seemingly endless roster of artists expressing their condolences, Lil Uzi Vert is also reeling from Peep’s death and appears to be taking steps to change his lifestyle.
In two Twitter posts posted on Thursday (November 16), the Luv Is Rage 2 rapper expressed empathy for the battle Peep was fighting — addiction — and alluded that he was struggling with the same thing.
“We Would love 2 stop ….. But Do You Really Care Cause We Been On Xanax All Fucking Year,” Uzi wrote. “Rip Buddy I 100 % Understand and I Don’t Fault U.”
“Sober 2 day I have been shaking,” he added. “I have been cursing my love ones out and fighting. In the studio with no thoughts in my head. Teeth biting down because I just wanna be angry at something …… maybe I will just smoke weed tonight.”
In the wake of Peep’s death, more and more people are speaking out about the addiction epidemic, a far cry from the way drugs are often glamorized in the entertainment world.
Check out Vert’s tweets above.
Not a fan of dude, but good for him. It makes me sick how much Percocet and Xaxax are glorified in rap lyrics these days. When I was growing up, they smoked weed and a few of them sipped lean, and anything else was seen as being a fiend as far as rappers. Nowadays I hear them talk about doing powder, molly, xannies, and opiates like there’s no tomorrow (for some of them there actually isn’t). Now that I think about it, rappers actually did talk about ecstasy back then (thizzing), and Andre Nickatina was the only open coke head rapper. Maybe I’m tripping, and it’s not as new as I said, but it feels like its a lot more common now.
Back in my day, if a rapper took a gram of Anthrax you would be dead, so lord knows how these younger guys take so much without dying. We also called our genitalia our peep
add cyanide to that and you get a lil peep
¨In the studio with no thoughts in my head¨ i will call that bussines as usual
