The song was made when X used to get into a lot of trouble and his music reflects his life timeline that’s why the song is more aggressive and not so lyrically impressive
and he was the first to do this distorted aggressive rap and it was orginally like this bc he couldnt afford good equipment and him and ski mask would just make this agressive off the wall stuff bad in 2016 and 2017
wwooowowoo Rrrr Ye this was also when just after they met in jail they started making music together and would record from a cheap microphone and laptop and X has influenced this mix between rap and metal music for others such as Scarlxrd
In rap it was pretty inventive, but its not really the aggressive delivery which made it that. Him and a few more artist pioneered this distorted wave, which is the production quality you guys are hearing. The song is supposed to be Egotistical, its an expression of just raw youthful pride and aggression. Which is why people were able to resonate with it.
Very very true, its also the type of music millenials and generation Z people listen because it is great at parties and in the car when you want energy in a song. I would say this song did kind of popularize the whole trap rap music because it is what brought me and my friends into it.
TheCheesyLife it means your story was anecdotal, and it’s pathetically narcissistic (but typical of teenagers) to believe that because a certain song put you and your friends onto a genre that it “popularized it”. The genre existed and was popular before this
Yea you’re right about the context thing! Scar Lxrd would’ve never been what he was musically without X and this style of music. X and his producers revolutionized it
OH NO NO NO! "Sippin Tea in Your Hood" or "I don't want to do this anymore" would have been much better XXXTENTACION stuff to react to! That's really where you get the jist of his whole start and evolution. Also try "RIP Roach" where Skimask the Slump God is featured.
Daniel Väeger yes this!!!!! I honestly didn’t want them to hear this because they praise him for his lyrical side and this isn’t exactly the best song for that :(
Denzel, Ronny and X all had the same importance in this agressive rap/trap panorama, in my opinion, since they lived together and worked a lot of times together
Listen to some of these ! His SoundCloud days was where he gained his OG Cult-like followage! Rip Roach Gnarly Bastard King Of The Dead I don’t wanna do this anymore Vice City Riot! Rare pt.2 Many many more on his SoundCloud & around the SoundCloud community!
They should have reacted to the video of Look At Me that has RIOT in the end part because Look At Me by itself is barely even a song don't know why people suggested that
Shamrock Kev because the people who dont actually listen to X suggest that lol and unfortunately still there’s people that see that as his best song. Not even top 15 imo
The track isn’t amazing quality wise, but at the time of its release it was insanely big. Mostly because this song specifically was the song that paved the way for many of today’s soundcloud rappers to become successful (Before Loom At Me’s release, music like this was ignored and overlooked by the mainstream audience). If Look At Me never released, rappers like Ski, 6ix9ine, Trippie a Redd, Lil Pump, Lil Xan and Smokepurpp would be nowhere (And those are only a few examples)
Sooooo the rap scene would be way better? Or at least would have a higher standard? Turn it up loud enough in your car that the already distorted wave of shit becomes a massive wall of super distorted sound that makes an semblance of “music” indiscernible. It’s one of the lowest forms of music, or art in general for that matter. Your favorite quality to the music is that you can still hope to pick out something that resembles a “beat”, just enough that you can justify what you’re doing to yourself is “listening to music”
Alex Mceachern lil pump and smoke purp were hanging around x before they blew up that’s were thy got their sound. X explained everything in a conversation with Ak
Something about this song that really resonated with people was how brutally honest it was in the face of a genre that doesn't generally accept the emotions he was expressing. The hip-hop community has always praised artists for being aggressive, even angry, but otherwise stoic and impenetrable; while the anger and aggression are certainly there, to a lot of people X represents a sub-genre of hip-hop that openly expresses angst, anxiety, and loneliness as well. The song is literally a plea for us to look at him. Plus, it's a banger. Rip X.
Rage Vibes Forever If you watched their other reactions you would understand that they prefer X's meaningful music. X himself hated his old music and his old self
That’s not even a song that they collaborated on, it’s literally two different songs that fans put together. They both have such amazing songs why do people suggest a fan made song?
DId I? didn't realize :p. Well i guess they're the most popular for a reason. Edit: Just google searched his most famous songs and you're kinda wrong. According to billboard, His most famous songs are beamerboy, white wine, girls, gym class, benz truck, awful things, and brightside in that order. Crybaby, let me bleed, better off, and witchblades are a little more of his underrated songs. source: www.billboard.com/articles/columns/hip-hop/8039174/lil-peep-songs-best-hits-list
RIP X. Such a tragic way to go. No one deserved death like that no matter how many sins they committed in life. Violent crimes like this need to be eradicated
Rip xxx you were just comin up and u were so young man. Your music made me feel at peace, which is weird considering what it was about. Thanks for everything you’ve done and hope your having fun singing that fire in heaven🙏🏼 I just wanted you guys to know cuz I know you guys were fans of his music so it would be nice to hear your take on his tragic death. Rip xxx
I really like your channel, not only do enjoy how you brake down each song with honesty, but I think you're opening my ears to some new genres. Really rate it.
I’m just coming back to this years later and I realized that you’re right about this not being believable. He was about 17-18 when he made this song and it was before he really started to be emotional. This was his outward persona while his later music is his inner persona, what he was really feeling at the time.
This song was the "start" of his career (by that I mean it's what blew him up), after he got out of jail he started to calm the music down, then he released "17" which was his mind coming out into song form, this year "?" came out and that's where a lot of his hits and #1 billboard songs came from example "SAD!".
When I first heard IMSIPPINTEAINYOHOOD , another one of X’s older songs it blew my mind, I never liked Look At Me as much. Before hearing ISTIYH I had never heard distorted 808, I had never heard shouted rap vocals besides arguably Eminem and I had never heard something that was so aggressive. It absolutely blew me away, quite literally in fact, as a metal head I never thought rap was capable of doing that. I fell off my chair when I first heard it and moshed around my room at 2 o’clock in the morning. I am willing to say that he didn’t invent this type of music but that he popularised it through songs like look at me and teainyohood, and that the early music in this genre will forever hold a special place in my heart.
This is the song that started X off, most of his old songs are very aggressive, but over time he has been converting more and more to the type of music he is doing at the moment.
X was the first soundcloud rapper to really get famous that I can remember. So this song style was new to a lot of people but had been cooking in the underground for awhile. This song blew up because it was very quotable.
"I spoke to the devil and he said everything will be okay", Is a much slower song of XXX's, but its definitely one of his best songs. Also Achoo- Skimasktheslumpgod is fire.
This track is iconic , it made soundcloud have a huge bump and it helped to blow up people that were on soundcloud
no lies here
Fr he gave all them clout just watch old x concerts and you can see young lil can and lil pump
*xan
Danny Yeah, right. 😂😂
This is the track that made xxx and soundcloud rap huge
It’s great to see Johnny Sins and Macklemore collaborating with each other.

He still does get in trouble lmao
and he was the first to do this distorted aggressive rap and it was orginally like this bc he couldnt afford good equipment and him and ski mask would just make this agressive off the wall stuff bad in 2016 and 2017
wwooowowoo Rrrr He wasn't the first though, and he's far from the best. Denzel curry owns this style
wwooowowoo Rrrr Ye this was also when just after they met in jail they started making music together and would record from a cheap microphone and laptop and X has influenced this mix between rap and metal music for others such as Scarlxrd
it's he friends with denzel curry?

Him and a few more artist pioneered this distorted wave, which is the production quality you guys are hearing. The song is supposed to be Egotistical, its an expression of just raw youthful pride and aggression. Which is why people were able to resonate with it.
He is saying, "Look at me, Fuck on me"
Very very true, its also the type of music millenials and generation Z people listen because it is great at parties and in the car when you want energy in a song. I would say this song did kind of popularize the whole trap rap music because it is what brought me and my friends into it.
TheCheesyLife “i think it popularized this type of music because it made me and my friends listen to it” how self-centered teenage tunnel vision
Carson Black ?
TheCheesyLife it means your story was anecdotal, and it’s pathetically narcissistic (but typical of teenagers) to believe that because a certain song put you and your friends onto a genre that it “popularized it”. The genre existed and was popular before this
Y’all look like off brand Johnny sins and Macklemore

Mike McMahon I’m fucking dead 💀

This nigga called him a pornstar 😂😂😂😂
I cant describe how true that is
Yea you’re right about the context thing! Scar Lxrd would’ve never been what he was musically without X and this style of music. X and his producers revolutionized it
definitely the most random thing ever seeing you here Hawks 🤣
Wow
Ayo hawksnest here? Wtf
But SCARLXRD came out before X?
OH NO NO NO! "Sippin Tea in Your Hood" or "I don't want to do this anymore" would have been much better XXXTENTACION stuff to react to! That's really where you get the jist of his whole start and evolution.
Also try "RIP Roach" where Skimask the Slump God is featured.
Daniel Väeger yes this!!!!! I honestly didn’t want them to hear this because they praise him for his lyrical side and this isn’t exactly the best song for that :(
Daniel Väeger They have to react to Rip Roach or #SippinTeaInYoHood
Yung bratz
Daniel Väeger Vice city is probably one of the best X songs. Gave me chills when I listened to the lyrics.
Daniel Väeger or KING
React to SKI MASK THE SLUMP GOD & XXXTENTACION - Take a step back. It got way more energy then this song, its fire!

Holy shit i almost died that is the such a diss
They ain’t thinking straight my boy let them pass 😭
This is authentic X for everybody, ironically it sounds forced for y'all. Interesting to say the least.
Sam guy ...While I agree with you, I felt the need to add that all of his music is authentic.
he popularized this sound
this is lil uzis sound...thats why he switched up..
phar0ahad3 Uzi? Are you broken
Denzel, Ronny and X all had the same importance in this agressive rap/trap panorama, in my opinion, since they lived together and worked a lot of times together
phar0ahad3 lol this is not uzi’s sound
one thing you gotta understand is X and Denzel used to live together so its possible that X influenced denzel or visa versa. Or they both pioneered
Listen to some of these ! His SoundCloud days was where he gained his OG Cult-like followage!

Screw You Google they rapped over each other's track, tale of 2 cities and alright
