Life goes on... without them. RIP.

 

Unfortunately, when you reach a certain amount of fame and fortune, people from your own city or state will be looking to take you out of your glory, even if you aren't a street guy.

These rappers need to learn to leave where they're from and NEVER COME BACK, history has shown they almost always die where they're from.

 

RIP both of em. Didn't know Jimmy's music but I was deeply connected with XXXTentacion and couldn't believe the news.

 

Always sad. May they rest in peace.

 

who?

 

XXXTentacion was an emerging young talent in a genre also quite young, the "emotrap". Rooted in trap of course but also in genres like grunge (big fans of Nirvana apparently), very depressed and dark genre, lots of saturation.

People should be more decent. Pass your way if you can't at least be respectfull at ones passing. Specially when you do it in an anonimous fashion. Whotf are you ? Lacking talent in music so much that you shine by dissing freshly passed human beings ?

Internet sucks.

 

rappers ? you thinking the gold-teeth wannabe gangsters who talk really fast onto music without concept?

 

emotrap?! great now i got coffee all over me and in my nose...*snork*

 

I don't know them, but you're right Talmi...There should be a certain amount of respect on those that have passed, regardless of one's prejudices.

May they RIP.

 

November 16, 2015: XXXTentacion is charged for committing home invasion, robbery, and aggravated battery

April 24, 2016: ...He discusses his troubled past and time in juvenile detention. He includes a very graphic story about beating up a cellmate, whom he refers to as a “faggot,” describing every violent act in gruesome detail.

May 2016: The first instance of domestic violence allegedly takes place. XXXTentacion made girlfriend choose between penetration of her vagina with a “barbecue cleaner” or a “barbecue fork.”

July 2016: The second incident of alleged domestic violence occurs. XXXTentation kicked, punched, tackled, and “stomped on” his ex-girlfriend, because he heard her singing another artist’s song, the testimony states. He also threatened to “cut out,” her tongue, the victim said.

August 9: XXXTentacion is arrested for his 2015 robbery and assault charges. He is held at Broward Regional Detention Center in Fort Lauderdale.

September 16: XXXTentacion agrees to house arrest, and is released from jail. Soon after, he allegedly assaults his ex-girlfriend again after she confesses to sleeping with another man. According to her testimony, he put a knife to her throat, strangled her “a little bit,” and threatened to hit her with a glass bottle.

October 6–8: Over the course of two days, several instances of domestic violence allegedly take place. According to XXXTentacion’s ex-girlfriend’s testimony, he threatened to kill her and her unborn child before elbowing, punching, and kicking her. When she asked other residents of the pair’s apartment to take her to the hospital, XXXTentacion refused to let her leave. She recalls him saying that she needed to wait until her face (which was severely beaten) had healed (her orbital eye socket broken).

XXXTentacion and his housemates then drive her to another apartment, where they leave her in a bedroom and confiscate her phone. She is trapped there for two days until, on October 8, she manages to escape and contact the police.

October 8: XXXTencacion is arrested in Miami-Dade County, and charged with aggravated battery of a pregnant woman, domestic battery by strangulation, false imprisonment, and witness tampering.


December 15: XXXTentacion is jailed ahead of his abuse trial, with seven new charges added, including different degrees of witness tampering and witness harassment. Prosecutors believe the rapper coerced his ex-girlfriend into signing the previously submitted documents that claimed she wanted the charges dropped. His bail is denied. He now reportedly faces “decades in prison, at minimum, if convicted.”

 

Nuh unfortunately it won't happen, it's hopeless.
Prejudiced haters can't pass an opportunity to spit on corpses.
They can't defend themselves, perfect targets for cowards.

Can't help but notice that this crap happens only with dead colored rappers. It says some nasty things about our forum.

 

Karma is a bitch.

 

Wow. What bubble are you living in? Neither prejudice or hate presented there, simply a case of 'never meet your heroes', eh?

 

I feel really sad about X, such a diverse and talented guy. Y'all keep forgetting that he was only 20 yrs old, its only natural to make mistakes on that age. I feel like he always tried to learn from his faults.. anyway hope the ones responsible get 1000000 years in solitary confinement or get their 'wig split' in the streets too.

 

That's not true. It also happened, when a white DJ died, Avicii.
This disrespect results from envy, I think. Some pople just can't stand other's success.

 

Well, watch your back then. Cause Karma hits really hard people speaking ill of the deads.

Who wrote anything about heroes ? He was a musician. Not a freaking role model. Or a morally bankrupted (or simply bankrupted) elected president. He didn't own to you or anybody examplarity. Only good music to himself and his fans. He didn't claim to incarnate any examplarity. I certainly didn't write that he did, nor anyone afaik.
And as far as those cases are concerned...they'll remain closed forever now that the presumed culprid is 6 feet under.
Those cases btw are part of his life and I don't see why they shouldn't be talked about (which absolutely every orbitruaries on the guy do), but people who do talk about those usually don't forget the rest - and main thing no matter how grim those events are - his music.
Only people with ill intentions do what you do.
Do you monitor dead rappers orbitruaries - on rappers whose music you don't know - on your free time ?
Is this like the alt right basic troll hobby nowadays ?

 

True, some discussing remarks on this thread too.
The degree of hatred in some people is scary.

 

But XXXTentacion? I'm sorry, but I don't feel sad for him. Guys maltreating women, children or weaker people in this way I don't have any sympathy for, even when they are dead. Regardless of color, religion, sexual orientation ect etc.
And it is not hatered. I just don't respect them.

 

I get that. Or you can not like his music, the message it convays, whatever. To each his own.
Then isn't passing your way the best option ?
If I was to intervene in every death annoncement of people I dislike for x or y reason unrelated to their music this site would become a war zone.

 

You're right. But... Ok, not the right place.
