Juice Wrld made me want to get into music. He was the voice of a generation of black boys and back youth. His music stood for so much. He made the most meaningful music from any artist in history. He will inspire the youth to make a change in the United States and the world. When you think of the the 2010’s, you will see Juice Wrld. He is the greatest rapper of all time
“He made the most meaningful music from any artist in history. ” KILL YOURSELF
let them have their own music old man. your parents said the same thing about your music. juice did make meaningful and emotional music that alot of people loved, now if u quoted the guy above about juice wrld being the best ever then maybe u had a point. stop being a fucking douche and let the guys fans mourn the loss of an actual good artist. if u knew anything about music u would know he was a great artist but your blind and still believe that hip hop music cant evolve, you should kill yourself. one more point. i bet juice wrld singles outsold your favorite rapper, u bitch u.
Shut up young bitch. Master P sold more records than this guy. You dont know the fuck you are talking about.
Time to get off that Lean Ryan
If i die can i be the most talented too – it was the same with xxx and peep, dying doesnt make their music better or change the fact that xxx was a domestic abuser and peep was promoting the drugs taht killed him and many of his fans – not saying they deserve to die but when will motherfuckers stop rewriting history when people die – he wasnt even a rapper, he was a soundcloud singer, he was great at what he did, but it wasn’t rap…he was a product marketed so well that you think he’s the best artist of all time – first of all you gotta have ATLEAST a few albums/decent catalog before that can even start and you didnt even say in rap, you said, in music history…i think you need to lay off the lean like homeboy said^
Im Danny Bars and since leaving my label and goin indy ive still got 6 real music vids from the label days at facebook.com/dannybarsraps/videos and ive got a couple random tracks on my bandcamp before my new album ‘Jawn Doe’ drops next month,thats dannybarsraps.bandcamp.com – just letting you know so if i die tragically you can tell everyone how i was ‘the greatest artist in the history of music’ 😛 #rillydoh
RIP. I’ve never heard of you or really any of these people, but RIP brother. Way too young.
Score another W for drugs.
When will y’all learn
I assumed this guy was trash because of his whack cadence and lazy bars in lucid dreams, but listened to some of his freestyles today and was stunned at how talented he was. Freestyle or not, dude had bars for 50+ minutes on Westwood, really good delivery, funny and charismatic dude. I slept on him hard, sad to see all these preventable deaths from the youngins in hip hop lately. RIP
