X was for the kids, so to speak. His life and all the fucked up things he did are a clear marker of what not to do. I guess you could be happy he’s dead, but that seems a little shallow to me. His antics would have landed him in the ground eventually either way.
His influence was undeniable in the new scene of rap, like it or not. He was for the kids because he spoke to the heart about issues with depression and how frustrated a lot of young people are today. His music slaps, no one can tell me otherwise.
It’s not just not one thing, but social media I think has a part in all this. We’re supposed to act like everything’s ok: why wouldn’t it be? Look at how great my life is on Instagram! Look at how happy I am! But no, everything’s not ok. A lot of young people are really struggling with these two sides: one, the real world and the other some sort of construct of ourselves we’re building up.
I don’t know the statistics but it seems like almost 1/4 if people at university have depression, even more with mental health problems. I think a real water shed moment is coming up for this generation; regardless of the negative implications of the internet, it’s raising the collective conscious of every one and it’s up to us to make sure we make it out on the right side... we’ll see. Fuck this, man.
