He was an addict and that was his life, so he wrote songs about his life, the good and the bad. I think a big part of the problem is that when they put that story out there kids see it and then they see that they're successful rappers getting paid and getting women while being on drugs and they dont understand the real focus of the story being told. instead of hearing "i'm f----- up on drugs to the point that i don't give a f--- about anything" they see it and hear "i do drugs and i don't give a f---" and connect that with being cool and successful.
its definitely a problem but i don't really see how the blame can fall on the artist for how their art is interpreted. all the artist can do is make their art and live their life. a lot of people probably saw peeps drug abuse and thought it was cool without listening to the songs he wrote about hating waking up in the morning.DKC, DetroitDGAF, dkdnfbdjdkdddjdjfvcgfl and 3 others like this.(This ad goes away when signing up) -

And you're both right. I've never listened to him I just googled some of his lyrics so I guess I can't see his music in it's proper context. I guess I see lyrics like
"Yeah, I do them drugz, I don't give a f--- what you think" and immediately think of Future, somebody I'm a huge fan of and the whole "I'm an addict and I can't even hide it." I just know how popular these guys are and then think of my little brother who's about to turn 14 and he's asking me what Xannys are and rapping along to Percocet, Molly, Percocet.... and I don't just cringe I legit get scared as f---.DetroitDGAF, DKC, theg and 3 others like this. -

I have a great amount of respect for your thoughts and opinions but I've got to ask you a few things. First of all I think this article was incredibly irresponsible. I mean don't you think this type of rhetoric sounds awfully familiar
Now is not the time to have a conversation about Xanax. Now is not the time to harangue recreational drug users, or start any sort of “see, drugs are bad” dialogue. What we can do is admit why so many of us related to Lil Peep on such an emotional level, which is, to put it simply: we saw something of ourselves in him
Now I'd be lying if I said I knew anything about this kid before yesterday and while anybody dying so young is tragic and he very well could have been a good guy, but- can you really call his music and what he promoted good? I don't like that this kid had such a huge platform and used it to promote reckless drug abuse. And I'm not singling him out I'm talking about all of these addict rappers. In my industry I'm working with a lot of 17-22 year olds and not only do they look up to these guys they emulate them. This is the self-snitching generation so I see them posting about it on Snapchat, Twitter, IG... They really think it's cool to be a junkie now thanks to these addict rappers. I've glanced at some of his lyrics and this is what he was all about.
I'm just playing Devil's Advocate and maybe I'm just old and don't understand but while I'd never wish death on anybody I think now would be the perfect time to highlight the fact that being a junkie isn't cool. Overdosing isn't cool. I'd like to think that this death will wake up some of his fans. Unfortunately, I'd bet a lot of money that the exact opposite happened and there were a lot of "Xannys" and Percs and whatever else taken for this guy over the past few days.DetroitDGAF, an0nymous, DKC and 3 others like this. -

ebro saying that peep's music is fire seems so fake to me

I'm not trying to make the thread about someone else, I just wanted to vent in one post about disrespect people showed for an artist I enjoyed and the stark contrast to this one.
It's over now

I was going through my gf's iPod late last night and saw she had Lil Peep in it..so I listened to the song "Awful Things" I normally don't like music like that, or glorify what he sung/rapped about it.. but I kinda enjoyed that one song. He was crying for help & no one was listening. Dude didn't deserve to die..real shame. #RIPOrdinary Joel, jmillithauglybasedgod, Lil Squeed and 3 others like this. -
