I'm not a T-Pain fan, but I think comparing his career to Lil Xan is a far reach and unfair. Not only did T-Pain have a few more hits, he has hit songs that he guested, collaborated or produced. You can tell T-Pain had a strong work ethic. Plus, not for nothing, 20 years since he first hit big and I still see T-Pain all over TV and stuff.
@@turnip5359 for real. I think of every kid who's life he's ruined being a shitty influence any time I start to feel even a little sympathy for his situation. Now I just wanna see the tmz special where he's a literal bum on the streets.
People like me struggling to manage money and to save a couple of bucks while these people are melting hundreds of thousands of dollars and then stupidly damaging the products they spent that money on. It genuinely pains me. They're so ungrateful for what they have, people like us can only dream of having that much money in our life
Well like T-Pain said rappers like him & the Soundcloud era rappers they were lead to believe as long as they kept rapping they would have infinite money to do dumb shit like this or worse (T-Pain bought a lambo and sold it in less than a day for 80% less than what he bought it for just because he could) since they would make it back in like a few months. But like J. Cole said in 1985 they only blew up because of a trend and when their audience grew up they would fall off like Lil Pump, Lil Skies, Lil Xan, Smokepurpp, etc. Rappers who people liked when they were 14 - 16 but after they grew up and it wasn't a trend to idolize people like this they quickly became broke and irrelevant in the industry more so being punching bags every time it's was revealed how little units they sold & how no one was attending their shows.
Ya for real. I work two jobs and barely scrape by. I'll never own a house or a car and unless I can figure out how to fail you for once it'll stay that way.
@@roboticunclephil I have a 2004 Toyota Tundra for the past 7 years that just chugs through anything you throw at it and hasn't had any engine issues. I love this old-ass truck. Never considered getting into it while under the influence of anything.
"the industry just doesn't care, they just want you to pump out hit records, then when you're useless to them just leave you in the dirt".... young fella had to learn the hard way people don't pay you for doing nothing
For anyone contemplating dropping out of high school: "Learning stuff you don't need" is not the reason we value high school graduation. But trust me, you don't want to be known as a person who couldn't handle high school. It's never going to be a good look.
@@michaelb4833 You're an idiot... Some people have to drop out... I had brain surgery my senior year and missed too much time and would need to repeat the year because of something out of my control... Made zero difference in the outcome of my life now... 18 years later... No one judges people on if they finished High school if they are successful lol... Only if you became a home town bum and work at the local gas station....
He wanted to be a professional photographer until his camera was stolen. Then he decided to take up music. That should tell you everything about whether he has a passion for music or not.
Another example is his reaction to Mac miller passing. If his inspiration disappears doesn’t mean you can’t continue. He laid off too many times so people got bored of him
Look at his demeanor, attitude and the way he speaks for ten seconds and you know the music industry would chew him up and spit him out. Dude never had a chance to go past one hit wonder/fifteen minutes of fame
Ever wonder why? Sure he's fuckin up, but why? Does he look well? Would you say he enjoys his life. Is he a fufilled person? I'd say he's probably suffering, just miserable, running away from pain at every turn.
I love SunnyV2 since he's mostly telling me stories about RUclipsrs and people I have never even heard of. And the way he does it makes it appears like a murder case.
I SWEAR I CAN'T NAME NOT ONE SONG FROM HALF OF THESE SOUNDCLOUD RAPPERS THEY SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO J COLE BUT INSTEAD THEY INSULTED HIM NOW LOOK🫣🙄😒😔😔😬😌
I know people throw "industry plant" around a lot, but I can't think of any other explanation. Like some promoter thought Xan was worth pushing, and it just didn't work out because he doesn't have the talent or charisma.
He was obviously not even wealthy yet, rappers don't brag about renting multiple apartments, he sounded like a dime store rapper. Taking out loans to buy cars he can't afford and renting multiple apartments, not even getting a house. Sounds like he didn't lose it all, he never really had anything,
I was actually wondering if anyone commented about that cat I know it's not important but, it's the internet, there's always someone who notices something not actually important to the vid/Short or whatever Side-note; That cat is adorable, i'm a bit of a cat-person and cats are never NOT adorable to me
Xan gives off the same vibe my druggie friends used to have back when we were young. Always in a perpetual state of intoxication. Which might explain why he doesn't go to the meetings with execs, probably too zonked to leave the couch. It might've affected his judgements with money too, on top of the stereotypical Soundcloud rapper lifestyle.
It’s hard to feel bad for the guy when he made it so easy to hate him. Also when you hear the backstory of his career, and all of the once in a life time opportunities he had that he squandered it again makes it hard to feel bad. He sold out was his problem. What drew his original fan base was his humble start off. Filming a song in his room, it was relatable. As soon as he got a taste of fame though, he turned pretty much into a narcissist acting like no one was better than him and he could say and do what he wanted. And that’s what he did during all his public appearances. Showed up high as a kite and said very regrettable things without filter. He’s the perfect example of why you shouldn’t get too cocky.
I knew Diego cause he dated one of my friends , she paid for one of his face tattoos , not gunna say she was a minor at any point or how scum bag he was , but i dont like the guy
@@padarousou Damn it's fucked up to say but it's kinda true, if he passes the "fans' are gonna pour in. Just like that X guy, literally had never heard of him until he passed, now my weird cousins acting like he's the shit, gtfoh.
@@elvergalargafilmz2603 Yea well its a pretty fucked up situation when people glorify drug addicts and murderers in the music industry, but then when one of them ODs or gets murdered its a big surprise for some reason
I dropped out of school because of low grades but thankfully, I've been decently successful in every field job I've had. Fast food was the worst time I had but still climbed up the ladder rather quickly and now I'm currently managing 2 Smoke Shops and a wonrking on opening piercing studio. Never liked school but I've always liked making money 😅
What really gets unde my skin about Xan is how he tried blaming his manager for drug problems. His manager was trying *everything* to get Xan away from drugs and the people who gave them to him. Honestly Xan deserves everything that's happened to him
I mean there isn't any proof that he wasn't getting drugs from his manger like he claimed. at the end of the day he is what makes them money so they'll get him whatever he wants
@@colebragg Hey Cole idk how old you are or how familiar you are with the concept of legal proof, but there's actually no such thing as evidence of something not happening.
Dude needs to grow up a little. Do some self reflection, understand his flaws and work on them. Looks like his biggest issue is that he's dishonest with himself. Some people take longer than others to realize it, and some never figure it out. If he ever wants to live even a decent life, he needs to figure that shit out. And maybe stop with the face tattoos.
@@fisherdoggler7237 like he obviously fucked up, didnt really use his chance/position he had, but Why would u roast someone that clearly doesnt think straight?
@@369fs4 I’m sure he can operate and think just as well as most people he’s clearly just lazy and undisciplined not saying he deserves to be clowned on but he does deserve all of the financial issues he’s found himself in.
@@TrillVinity well i somehow agree because in the end its our choices that matter, or mistakes from which we have to learn, however with some cases it begins at young age and they may never get a chance to rehabilitate, you know like they are just fucked up from the start and shit Anyways have a nice day or night
They don’t make millions. Thats a giant lie, just look up “how many rappers went broke” or “rappers that went broke”. Almost all of it is fake and a lie, most of them are eating hand to mouth, having to tour non-stop, to stay relevant. It’s honestly a miserable fucking existence. They can keep the millions, I’m good.
I remember vibing to some of his music then not hearing of him for years, Thanks for making those well worked videos where we learn the actual reasons why the fall down or disapear.
Sad to see Lil Xan waste his fortune and to hear about his mental health. As a Christian I wish the best for everyone and I hope he turns his life around.
Its a shame because even though his music wasn't particularly good, songs like Betrayed and Color Blind were just kinda chill to listen to. Regardless, can't really feel bad for him, in particular as he's been promoting crypto NFT scams on his Twitter for the sponsorship $$$ and then deleting the tweets when the projects get rugpulled.
i still remember when he said Tupac was boring, that moment i said you aint going nowhere, weather you like him or not you should always pay respect to those guys who paved the road for rappers to walk on
Plus regardless that statement is just wrong lol its not even a matter of preference, Tupac was like the least boring person ever even 25 years later just old stories and the conspiracies about Pac are more entertaining than Xans entire life story 😂
True, either that or be super disrespectful. You have to walk either streets if you want to be something, he tried to walk both. If your both, you can't profit from either and you just fail.
Don't forget, when he was approached at a gas station about it, he pulled a gun on two unarmed dudes.... and he kept on backing up, getting into his hummer or whatever basic crap and leaves, keep in mind HE is the one with the gun. Absolute pu$$y.
There is something to be said about the negative effects of "suffering from early success" and not understanding or learning what it takes to actually be successful. When I changed careers and started my first big boy "commercial B2B sales" job, through almost complete beginners luck and no effort, I landed several large sales that made me think I was awesome and my job was easy. Im a really hard working person but seeing success come easy gave me the false belief that I didn't really need to do much and I'd still be successful, and in that time I didn't learn the tools necessary to actually be successful. Fast forward several months and it was a complete 180, I almost had to start over and it was extremely discouraging and stressful feeling like I was only getting worse, when I just hadn't been putting in the effort necessary to do my job. Thankfully I figured that out before it was too late After
The dudes like constantly on the verge of a xanax black out. He needs to quit that shit and he'd be doing much better. Probably needs an insane amount of bricks a day just so he doesn't lose his shit coupled with partying etc he's just drug fked. Obviously just likes the pity party and doesn't want to grow up and go through the hell of xanax withdrawal.
How can he pull his life together? He has no education, his career is finished, has a terrible personality, and he has no money. I think its only a matter of time before he's a beggar on the street.
Its really hard to tell if he had the right people around him giving him good advice and he was just ignoring it, or if he had the wrong people around him giving him bad advice and he was listening to them.
@@nicholaswoollhead6830 LMAO But to be fair he already had face tats before he blew up of his own volition, so it probably didn't attract any "good" attention lol
Man, really felt like a boomer today...Had zero idea who this guy was. Had to do some research. Sucks he ruined such a good thing especially when it seems he has nothing to fall back on (education)
@@MenteMaestra91 only one apartment didn’t make sense the one for his mom and himself makes total sense the one for bitches is just stupid but at the same time not really because you don’t want all kinds of people coming in where you lay your head so it’s not technically dumb
To be fair, T-Pain wasn’t a good comparison cause he’s always remain pretty successful no matter what he’s a songwriter and always had a solid fan base and always delivered hits even when he has “ fallen off “ T Pain is one of the most important artists ever to the music industry, autotune is a norm now, he didn’t create it but he influenced it the most even pop stars use autotune
@@mism847 depends on how you look at it, he was and is actually a great singer and the autotune works for him but I can almost guarantee most likely over 90% of artists use some form of autotune .. even the singers you probably think isn’t , when it comes to rap though that’s where I feel it’s over saturated but unfortunately rap isn’t centered around talent anymore it’s more about gimmicks
I love videos like these, they warm my heart😊. Oh and look, next up is How Lil Pump Ruined His Career...have no clue what a Lil Pump is but judging from the thumbnail, this is gonna be good. Can't wait🤗
I think this is less about someone who “deserved” their downfall and is more about the self-destructive behaviors of an addict. I hope things work out for Lil Xan it doesn’t seem like he’s hurting anyone but himself.
Can't fully agree to this statement. Sure his drug addictions fueled part of his irresponsible behavior but the dude had shit grades and dropped out freshman year. That was before he became a rapper. He just wanted to be famous, rap, and get high like all the other rappers and his past shows he didn't care enough to put in the work. Just a lazy kid who let the fame take the driver's seat while he kicked back and did nothing to keep his career going.
Deserved in the sense that it was brought on by himself rather than he's a bad person who deserves what he got, drug addiction is a horrible thing and you can't always blame drug addicts for their behavior but its also not an excuse for it, that's why taking responsibility for the things you did is one of the biggest steps in recovery and also something he still seems to be struggling to do
I swear once a rapper starts publicly saying "I'm done doing music" their worth to labels and potential sponsors drops considerably. That's part of the reason I can respect rappers like Playboi Carti for not doing interviews and not saying much publicly lol
Sorry to break it to you but high school is completely useless. I would much rather drop out to test an actual job or study to some job I actually want. Plus wtf does that have to do with anything you don’t get money in high school and you don’t learn how to manage it in school either.
@@Raz-lw9vi huh? a high school education is the bare minimum you can even graduate early and get your GED. high school teaches you general knowledge that everyone should know such as basic math, language, history, and science. Too many people nowadays aren’t properly educated on things and spread misinformation. i get not going to college but unless your circumstances are extremely difficult there is no reason to not go. Also news flash lots of jobs require minimum high school and there are programs for students who want to go into trades.
@@leena5875 i did not graduate, I lied on my resume saying I graduated and got decent jobs no problem. I’m in college now and doing fine. Do I recommend it? Not really… but my life is not impacted by a diploma. A lot of history that is taught isn’t even accurate. It has a lot to do with intelligence, if you are stupid a diploma isn’t going to help you. If you are intelligent you can get by in life pretty well.
@@leena5875 Most of what you said there was society telling you you need high school or you won’t get a job. There is obviously more to this but to me, high school is just teaching kids useless stuff that they’ll forget In the future, the only thing high school is good for is a degree. What you learn before high school, that’s actually useful. The school systems are often designed for a older type of society, makes it seem kinda outdated. Ofc don’t let this affect you depending on what you want in life, like if you wanna continue studying, definently finish high school. But me, my interests are not being brung up in school because society doesn’t want us to be entrepreneurs they want us to work with jobs that keeps society running, or making sure you can afford taxes etc. wow longest comment I’ve ever wrote I’m impressed if you made it this far
I wouldn't say he deserves it, im not to judge, but damn, everything could've been easily avoided if he just stood up and took some responsibility for his career, like dude this is your career you can't just literally sit down and watch it getting destroyed.
I think what he means by deserved is that it was done by himself and was completely in his hands to stop but he didn't hence why it's called "Deserved".
Or if he had just took a mil from witch he earned and left. If i had 1 mil. Fuck 500k shit would last me a life time. But thats just how different niggas think ong. fuck 100k could take me long ways . these sound cloud rappers be dumb asf. Jay z took his money and turn it into a buisness and is now one of the richest rappers in history. Have idols like him. not like mac. I love mac to death but u gotta be inspired by people who been in this for a hot minute and know how the game works. and even mac miller had some common sense, he didnt just rap he was in tv shows. movies, and many features this man was about to have his whole life set, Rip mac miller, Rip lil xan career cus i remember betrayed, shit was lit. but nah fam u got no one to blame here but yo self.
This is just one of the many cases of talentless rappers blowing up because of the industry. Betrayed was a completely beat driven song that anybody could've got on and blown up off of. It had nothing to do with lil xan himself. The problem is that he didn't see that, got a massive ego and then got lost in drugs.
As a kid who fell into drugs at 14, I cant hate him. I probably acted similarly at times before cleaning up. Sadly, I don't know if he can change without failing first. I can only imagine how sick I would have become if my incredibly stupid and selfish behavior as a kid had been rewarded with millions of dollars.
It’s insane the effect a poor work ethic can have on a person’s life. He had enough money to retire immediately and couldn’t look past the instant gratification.
@Chelsea yea, I've had really important people in my life tell me I just need to get over it, that I have no will power. And thats sadly how most people see it. They are very ignorant about how our brains and reward systems work and how addiction completely changes your wiring. Its a really hard problem to solve, because at a point it does become a disease and your brain is screaming at you constantly (even when you're asleep) to get drugs. But once you overcome the initial withdrawl and stuff, a lot needs to be done by the addict, and if the people around them try to do the work for them it will just end up restarting the cycle. Being homeless was the best thing that could of happened to me at that time. But I was a rare case, and I know plenty of people who just wont accept life without constant substance abuse. It's sad but at a point you need to cut ties, and hope that eventually they see the error in their ways.
If there is ever a day when SunnyV2's channel dies (IT WON'T) I could only imagine the backlash from all these type of his videos talking about other people falling off, however, never hate I love Sunny; keep going.
I was in the studio with him and some other producers and artists after a show that he performed at and he showed no interest in listening to the beats and tracks that we we were showing to him, he was too worried about the girl he was with at the studio and that she wanted to leave, he left the studio to try to get her to stay and he ended up leaving and not coming back 🤦🏻♂️
Bro look at him. A girl for a guy that looks like that is incredibly rare, it is literally his job to have people make beats for him he can get those anytime.
I remember seeing a photo of Lil Xan for the first time and immediately thought he's some small time rapper who's always on drugs, hence the name. While he does make a point that sitting in class for about 7 hours a day and not retain some of that information, sitting through those classes would've helped him make more conscious decisions and take responsibility, which he didn't do at all. I can't really feel bad for him, his undoing was no one but his own fault.
As sunny said, definetely a difference between failing every class and dropping out year one. It could say it was from unfortunate livihoods, but Xan's extreme laziness, lack of wanting to do work, even performing and making music, he clearly doesn't even want to put effort in once he did one good thing, he just coasted.
I can totally believe that Xan convinced himself he was hard working and quitting drugs, but it was probably all just a delusion influenced by how often he took drugs.
11:55 he actually says he's now more of a celebrity than a rapper as if that alone (being famous) would be enough I'm really not one to give any opinions on these dust bunny SoundCloud rappers but damn, it doesn't take a crystal ball to know their careers will be short lived.
Nah, I think Xan convinced himself he didn't _need_ to work hard or try. That line about quitting rapping to just 'be a celebrity' sings volumes about his actual understanding of the world or what he's doing. Celebrities don't just exist in a vacuum being wealthy. They _do_ something to achieve that status and they _keep_ doing things to maintain it. Apparently in Xan's mind a tiny fragment of popularity translates to a self sustaining wealthy celebrity life.
I think it’s important to mention that a year ago, Lil Xan did another interview with No Jumper explaining how he’s been completely sober for the past year or two years or so, good for him
Damn it is so easy to see just how BLASTED he was on drugs during all of these appearances. It is honestly sort of sad. I don't feel too horrible for him because of all the crap he's done but as someone who had drug problems in the past, it is really easy to slip into it just so you can feel SOMETHING. There is just something exciting about doing some drug and sitting and waiting for it to kick in. Something to look forward to I guess. Even if it is just for one hour, two hours, three hours. It doesn't matter. It is something to look forward to which is why it is so common to see broken individuals fall into drugs. Nothing else to look forward to. Just create it yourself. Especially easy for kids who don't really have any other goals. EDIT: Take it into DMs if you're gonna fight with someone over something so stupid. EDIT: EDIT: Yes, we all know there aren't DMs on RUclips, buddy. Luckily other forms of communication exist. ;D
His situation is a little different as he suffered from severe panic attacks from a young age to the point him and his mom claim it was debilitating.. this lead to the doc putting him on benzos which eventually ofc leads to a dependence and serious addiction. Imagine being on xans / Valium/ ativan to bandage ur anxiety as a kid to adult...
Well then just call a prostitute? Why drugs? They destroy you a prostitute gives you a good Time and leaves. Or is That illegal in the USA? Nah would be weird to have guns but Not prostitutes
@@Raz-lw9vi what you even talk about? Omg 😂 Why would you get a std from a prostitute? In my country prostitution is legal and it’s just a bunch of woman in college or after and they make 150 Euro per hour at minimum, so there is no stds here (maybe it’s just in the USA bc they are dirty? Lul) And the goverment don’t want woman to sell there body to filty guys? That means in the USA woman can’t do what they want? Omg 🤣 sounds like a Middle East Country „no Woman Rights!! We tell them what they can do!!“ LUL 🤣 And the government is okay with selling guns to all people and is okey that this leads to shool shootings etc? Well….. weird… And r*pe?? What the F.

Also they have a driver that waits outside in the car until she is back. So omg you have no fk clue what you even talk about 🤣🤣🤣
How this kid had a career of any kind is mind blowing. It truly makes me sad and very worried about the world my kids will be growing up in. This is wild.
Get off the web and you’ll see that the world is fine. The internet presents the world in a very very different way than reality. Nothing’s changed. People are still the same as they’ve always been. Same amount of idiots. Only difference is those idiots have enough time on their hands to have a voice through the internet
As long as your kids have a proper role model like you in their life, they'll turn out fine regardless of the avent garde circumstances. Remember, Lil Xan doesn't represent our entire generation lol
I can't help to feel a bit bad for him. He just seems like a kid with poor decision making skills to whom nobody really said no before. That doesn't mean that he shouldn't suffer the consequences of his actions though.
Those are the exactly the types of people who should suffer the consequences of their actions? That’s how real life affects everyone else, he’s no different.
The gist of why his career failed is because he doesn't work hard for it. What does that have to do with not having people tell you no? He had someone setting up meetings for him that he chose not to go to. That has nothing to do with having yes men.
@@elan8213 no one said he was different, or that he shouldn’t have the consequences of his actions i don’t get this comment, speaking on stuff the original guy never even said
*LMAO!! 😅 I just remembered when my co-workers and I were crying in laughter when we were talking about Lil Xan being sent to the hospital bcoz of eating hot Cheetos.* 😂
If he made more music like betrayed he wouldn’t have fell of as quickly, there was actually lot of potential with him but he wasn’t passionate about it like a lot of people
Betrayed was his first song that sucked imo and everything after was even worse. Fame just makes artists become trash. His early soundcloud stuff was fire though.
Yeah, dude has lost himself completely. Fell into fame and never took control. To personally state you don't want to rap anymore and then blame the "industry" for leaving you, publicly defame and blame your management for having to fund your drug addiction when you wont perform your job. Dude definitely isn't off drugs and isn't in any capability to save himself.
Way to show the local family owned small business called "target" some love Xan, I heard they were really struggling to stay in business. I mean in 2022 their revenues were only $108 BILLION dollars, they are seriously struggling!!! I think those 2 copies of Destiny you bought might have single handedly kept Target alive this year. Great job Xan, you are such a philanthropist!!
It's hard for me to look at a kid addicted to drugs and blame them for what happened. I grew up in a town riddled with drugs and when you're high time isn't a thing. Nothing matters but chasing the high. Only a few of us got out, cause it's so hard to do without a good support system. He just had people who wanted to take his money or use him once he broke into the music scene and honestly? It's sad. I've never heard his music but I genuinely hope he gets some help and turns his life around.
Drug addiction is absolutely the fault of the drug user. Personal responsibility is a thing, and doing drugs is a choice, no matter how you look at it.
@@trivera801 if you're introduced to drugs before your prefrontal cortex is even fully developed, then no, it isn't your choice. Kids can't make fully informed decisions. You obviously know nothing about growing up poor in drug-riddled cities. Half the time it's parents introducing their kids to these substances. Without a proper support system, it's hard to break the cycle. If he had hurt someone, then he would need to take responsibility, but the only person he's hurting is himself and it's sad. In him I see myself and many other kids from the "bad areas" who nobody cared enough to help. It doesn't hurt to have empathy.
@@TheAciddragon069 Accountability is key. no one forced him to do drugs. No one made him tie his career to using illicit drugs. I feel bad that no one in his corner actually held him accountable. To push him forward to the next thing because all waves crash. So either start one or catch one. No one told him to invest in businesses or start some. I feel bad for drug addicts. I don’t feel to bad for rich drug addicts.
I'm so glad there is finally a line in the sand. It was starting to seem as though someone could piss in a microphone and be successful as long as they LOOKED just as crazy and 'clickable'. We need to work on raising the bar now that we have at least established how low it is.
Yeah the 2016-18 era of shit like this guy and Lil Pump gucci-gangin' his way to millions was really bizarre to witness. On top of the world for a moment and then vanishes behind the scenes until the funds dry up. Such is life in this influencer age of constantly evolving/changing virality.
Shit music is still a thing 99% of new music in 2022 is straight trash. The music industry as a whole is failing. Its all the same shitty beats or stolen beats from a old song. Nothing new and original in 2022.
I’d give that statement a meh. I skipped 8th grade and I’m back at it again. I just wanna finish high school so I can focus on my interests like music and filming. Still it might train your discipline a bit
I honestly don't think high school is necessary. The only really valuable thing in school is the social aspect, as you can learn significantly faster being home schooled or studying subjects you find interesting as opposed to ones that are assigned to you.
@@Matthew-vw8xn You actually don't. Companies value passion and dedication over degrees and diplomas. It's much easier to get hired with 1 year experience in the field than it is to have a certificate from a college/school. Sure, having a diploma from the get go would give you more opportunities, but what if you spent all those years studying on creating opportunities in other ways? I think school is massively over rated, especially these days. Obviously not all schools are the same, and some are very good, but on average they aren't what they are made out to be.
This would've been me when I was a teenager if I suddenly got rich. But if I came into money right now, I'd never stop working on projects because it's super easy to get comfortable and fall off.
Idk maybe im a bleeding heart, but i kinda empathize with the guy. It seems like he lacked guidance and direction from a young age and didnt have a responsible adult who cared enough to rear him properly. So he got swept up in the industry life and got more than what he bargained for. Could happen to any young person who doesnt have strong positive adult influences in their life. I wonder what his upbringing was like
The only logical person on here ty. Just a kid caught up in a crazy world of fame. Watch his interview with Steve-o he’s actually a good kid, hope he does well, glad he’s sober.
I just take one look at the guy and wish he wasnt on the planet because it's a perfect example of what the youth has gone to, or at least how far down they can go in terms of life directions. Just another sleepy person who got really lucky that he even made it out of the gene pool in the first place...maybe I'm too mean but I don't feel for him one bit
@@masterodisguise2983 Perhaps you shouldn't be looking at a lil Xan video as the example of youth today, as it is a tiny cross section. It is only feeding your confirmation bias. ....Here's something you may not realize. A famous philosopher once said to his friend "The youth of today have no respect for their elders and for society at large". that was 2000 years ago. whenever people get to a certain age, say 35,45, 50 or so, they often tend to look at the youth that replaced them and think that new generation is just so far gone. When you look at the real data to understand these things, it actually shows that young people today are, on the whole, far more advanced than any other generations ever. Are they still cringey and dumb? Yes, often., but less so on the whole and... ...so were you. And so was I. We ALL were when we were young. We just tend to not remember it very well. And you also have to look at your own confirmation bias. Without even being aware of it, you will look at certain examples, like the one you talked about here, and you will make note of it because it fits your preconception That's just conformation bias at work./ Why don't you look at what the local chess club is doing? I'll bet none of them would behave in a way that you have noticed in your example here. Why don't you start looking at examples of young people who are bright and not all about attention seeking or materialism, or whatever it is that you see as the problem with todays youth. you are talking about all youth, and there is just as much variety in them than there ever was, including your generation./ The only difference is, they grew up in the information age. So, that means that the smart ones KNOW how to use that to their advantage. And are going to be more mature than any prior generation ever could be. To repeat, perhaps you shouldn't be looking at a lil Xan video as the example of youth today, as it is a tiny cross section. It is only feeding your confirmation bias. A bias, by the way, that we all have. Once you are aware of it, you can be less and less beholden to it.
@@tjali563 no cloud rappers are supposed to be have a chill stoner like vibe to them and their music, where you listen for the vibes more than for deep lyrics
nah thats just hating. some soundcloud rappers have lots of talent they just ruined their career by making dumb decisions and not knowing how the game works. if you think talent decides how someone "fizzes" out then you arent used to the music industry at all
Honestly: *Lil Xan never had a chance to become relevant to begin with. Just like Lil Pump and Smokepurpp, they weren’t going to last long and the hype train has officially left the building. The “Tupac makes boring music” comments was just the final nail in the coffin for his career.*
It’s because they are memes no one listens to their music and actually likes it. Real artists maintain their popularity, that’s why people like pac, mercury and beatles are still relevant even tho they don’t do music anymore
Lil pump and smokepurpp had wayyyyy way more of a career and success than lil xan, lil pump was huge for a while & had only recently in like the last year or two dropped off. Lil xan had one song and that’s it.
Man I felt so bad when they showed a clip of him damaging his own car , My car got into an accident and it took me so long time and money to get it fixed . It was horrible going to work without the car
T Pain is still legendary if you ask me I remember him being one of the pioneers of popularizing autotune in his hip hop songs. Whether you think that is talent or not is up to you, but he had a unique sound that still carries on today in most modern hip hop.
Too many people just crank up the auto-tune and think they're doing it like T-pain... but they're not. Dude is actually a singer and performs like it. His auto-tune sounds like it does because he does his thing with the auto-tune in mind. Most these others acts are half assing what they do and expect the auto-tune to do all the work. T-pains sound is 90% him and 10% auto-tune. That's why he still sounds great without it.
@@bl6628 maybe even 95% him. He can sing all his hits acapella, and the only difference is that it sounds more natural. He hits all the notes either way.
@@thingswhynot I almost said 80/20 lol. T-pain has even said in interviews that auto-tune made his career. He was singing and rapping for a while but he wasn't very successful. T-pain is definitely all of the talent but auto-tune is definitely responsible for his sound. It's not a bad thing it's just what it is.
The interesting thing is it seems like he’s extremely aware of his actions he just has at the same time an extreme lack of responsibility for his actions.
Seeing T Pain always makes me happy. He seems like such a fun dude to be around. That will always help you even if your music career fails. But Xan is the representation of a burnout loser.
He streams on twitch. It's a pretty good watch. On certain days, he has viewers/chat send him their songs and he plays them giving advice and what not.
Dude is someone I both hate but also have a level of sympathy for. He wasted some huge opportunities, refuses to take accountability, and doesn't have much of a work ethic. But he also went from an uneducated kid who grew up in motels, struggling with addiction and poverty, to suddenly being surrounded by swarms of fans, media, and corrupt industry professionals. It was a very sudden, massive lifestyle change and the show business industry is known for mistreating/taking advantage of naive young artists. So many other people who've been in that position have opened up about how difficult it was. I'm sure that shit led to him leaning more on his addictions to cope. He's been hospitalized on a psychiatric hold but he's never personally opened up about his mental health or any trauma he likely faced growing up in the situation he did. Having said that..I think he needs to seriously work on himself, confront his flaws, and access the resources available to him to grow as a person. Not everyone in this country is lucky enough to be in a position, like he is, where they can get help.
@@goldenglowable but Xan had rehabs paid for for him and all the help in the world 🌎- he chose to relapse every time he come out of rehab … all 7 times
@@realeyesbars What about my statement makes you think I don't have sympathy for them? This video was about Xan so I spoke about him specifically. Of course I feel for every person who grows up in those circumstances and has to overcome trauma and poverty and work their way up from nothing. That shit is fucking rough, I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Addiction is also a very real illness and relapses are a part of recovery for many people. Money doesn't buy happiness if you're not ready to confront your own demons.
He never had any talent to begin with so he was doomed from the get-go. We're living in a world where any loser can get famous for a short period of time. It seems to be luck of the draw nowadays.

this is so sad to see. never listened to lil Xan and never really cared but after watching this video he’s been through some shit growing up in redlands plus being a young kid addicted to drugs and getting rich and famous isn’t easy especially when no one guiding you or checking you. Didn’t know mac was his hero either, i cried so much when mac died.
While I don’t think he “deserves” his failure, he certainly brought it upon himself. I don’t have personal experience with drug addiction but I had family that did, (rest in piece Josiah) I’ve seen what it can do to someone. I truly hope this man can find help.
He does deserve them. You deserve exactly what you put into something. That's how it works. And since he didn't put shit into it, he isn't getting shit back. He's getting exactly what he deserves. The problem is he didn't learn from it. Much like most of the current generations who have an air of 0 accountability.
Speaking as someone who struggled with a painkiller addiction for 8 years, things will always end up crumbling after a while, no matter how long it takes. Drugs and success are generally non compatible in the long run. Blowing off all the meetings and responsibilities is par for the course. I did the same kinda sh*t while I was addicted, and I only realized that it wasn't ok after I had gotten clean and become a normal responsible human being lol
Congratulations on getting clean. I was a junkie for many many years. I’m 6 years clean now and life is good. Always great to hear someone else managed to beat the beast.

reality hasn't hit him yet. It hits him when he is completely broken down and admits he royally played himself. He's still in massive denial and shifting blame right now. He'll obviously release something soon to try and get funding, it'll blow, and he'll slip further into irrelevancy.
I love it. Especially when it happens to narcissistic, drug addict horrible influence industry plants who fuck underage girls and promote terrible drugs to young kids
It’s crazy watching videos like this, about the people that were known from 2017-2018 now becoming washed up. Crazy to think everyone was talking about them, either in a good or bad light, now end up like this. Times are really changing huh
Most careers started through “internet fame” last a max of three years before they lose relevancy, unfortunately so many of these people think their career will stay on this high forever, overestimating their talent and/or marketing strategy’s (if they ever even had one) ability to keep them relevant. As a result they blow all their money on a rich egoistic lifestyle just assuming they’ll always have an income this size. It’s frustrating to watch as they could’ve had a moderate lifestyle paid for, for the rest of their life if they’d have been money wise. I think we can all recall a lot of Internet personalities who were viral a couple of years ago that no one talks about anymore, fame just doesn’t last and as a result, neither does the money. But it doesn’t seem like most people are ever going to learn this lesson.

If I ever got big and had a lot of money I’d literally just buy a middle class house and chill💀 I wouldn’t ever try to flex. I’d just be happy to be living comfortable like literally everyone should.
I do feel somewhat sorry for him. But his worth ethic is definitely a problem. *I looked at the comments and a good point to make is that he might have ADHD. And thinking about his lack of motivation. I also think the same. But it could also just be his personality mixed into it. Either way, hopefully he gets help. When I dropped out of high school, it was because of my mental breakdown (I'm not willing to share my mental health openly, It was awful. Let's just say, I harmed myself and hurt my family and friends). Two years later returned to complete my education and of course, didn't get the best grades, but it felt amazing that I could finish my high school and later my college education.
Props to you for the dedication! And also for being self aware enough to care about your mental health and putting it first above all else! As a college graduate who finished with more anxiety than debt, I wish I had done the same before!
This sounds insane but it’s very likely he has undiagnosed ADHD and just doesn’t know it. That is a huge reason why a lot of people drop out and develop addictions, they literally don’t have enough dopamine in their brain to function properly so they can’t focus on school or work and literally chase after the drugs that give them dopamine It’s a much much MUCH bigger problem than people would even expect. It’s a super misunderstood illness but explains a lot of the “I just can’t do it. I can’t do that bullshit” attitudes that exist around school. Or work ethic. When it’s so boring your brain doesn’t naturally produce enough dopamine to keep doing it well….. you’re fucked. And you’ll keep doing the easy short things that give you that quick dopamine boost. Also explains the impulsiveness and how he’s spent through all of his funds this quickly
When I was in high school I did pretty well until I developed a severe drug addiction. I went from being set to graduate early at sixteen to being a high school drop out. I got my shit a little bit more together and enrolled in Independent studies, I graduated and walked the stage at 19. I don’t know you but I relate to your story and just want to say you’re strong as fuck for going back and graduating. I know how hard that can be.
Never heard of this dude but as soon as I saw his interview immediately noticed he's got that junkie sluggishness you get after years of drug abuse. As someone who used to abuse drugs heavily I can say that some shit will actually make u so unmotivated and sluggish once you come down. This dude needs to get clean, would have been better for his career as well as his life but hey.. I'm not one to judge.
When you mix a "One-hit" celebrity and a drug addict, it will never end well. It's a shame really since he seems like a chill dude. Hopefully he'll realize his mistakes and get clean, then he might have a chance to come back.
@@UnicornRyder04 Slingshot, betrayed, Xanarchy, and then Color blind by diplo featuring lil can (my favorite with him, don’t like his other music much) is all I know and were kinda hits. But overall he’s trash and doesn’t have much good music lol
You can't say "I used to bea drug addict"! You should always remember that your always going to be an addict but can manage it. Once you assume you're fine, you could relapse. Even after years of sobriety. Diego has never been completely sober. 🙏 I hope he find his way in life.
I'm a recovering addict. It's VERY hard to work and function when you're constantly fucked up, and I was considered a "high functioning" addict. So many of these young rappers are constantly self medicating and it shows, it's not sustainable especially to the extent that these guys go. If you are clouded constantly with substances your work will eventually suffer and that's what happened here. He got caught up in the lifestyle and the drugs only fueled everything. It's sad, but he has no one to blame but himself.
Same here. At first a lil bit of drugs made me super creative, but once dependent it took the joy and creativity out of everything. The body tries to balance you out so if you're on pain meds youll be in worse pain off of them. Drugs really spoil any passion(except passion for drugs). Drugs, Im sad and miserable on them but for some reason sad when theyre gone. Definition of a toxic relationship. I couldnt imagine trying to handle success messed up. These kids are in for a lot of trouble and depression.
I blame meds and the fact that addictions are not taken seriously enough by doctors and society, everyone put stigma on addiction, it doesn't help. Plus Big Pharma putting those drugs out.
@@emmaphilo4049 it's the stigma and the lack of education about proper mental illness treatment. Medications taken properly with doctor's supervision are valid and important. Most people that abuse these medications aren't even prescribed them, again the stigma makes it seem that way. Better education on addiction needs to be discussed with our youth, especially with all these young rappers coming out and glamourizing this lifestyle it's only making it worse

I'm not a T-Pain fan, but I think comparing his career to Lil Xan is a far reach and unfair. Not only did T-Pain have a few more hits, he has hit songs that he guested, collaborated or produced. You can tell T-Pain had a strong work ethic. Plus, not for nothing, 20 years since he first hit big and I still see T-Pain all over TV and stuff.
totally agreed. TPain is a popular twitch streamer too.
I agree, plus you can see outside of his music career he’s productive in other things like live streaming. He’s actually a great guy.
He's been on Bar Rescue too within the past 4 years or something lmao.
The biggest difference is that T-Pain is actually... you know. _Talented._ He's a genuinely skilled singer and songwriter.
I’m in shock that anyone on the planet would even think to make this comparison… LMFAO

Well like T-Pain said rappers like him & the Soundcloud era rappers they were lead to believe as long as they kept rapping they would have infinite money to do dumb shit like this or worse (T-Pain bought a lambo and sold it in less than a day for 80% less than what he bought it for just because he could) since they would make it back in like a few months.
But like J. Cole said in 1985 they only blew up because of a trend and when their audience grew up they would fall off like Lil Pump, Lil Skies, Lil Xan, Smokepurpp, etc. Rappers who people liked when they were 14 - 16 but after they grew up and it wasn't a trend to idolize people like this they quickly became broke and irrelevant in the industry more so being punching bags every time it's was revealed how little units they sold & how no one was attending their shows.

It’s hard to feel bad for the guy when he made it so easy to hate him. Also when you hear the backstory of his career, and all of the once in a life time opportunities he had that he squandered it again makes it hard to feel bad. He sold out was his problem. What drew his original fan base was his humble start off. Filming a song in his room, it was relatable. As soon as he got a taste of fame though, he turned pretty much into a narcissist acting like no one was better than him and he could say and do what he wanted. And that’s what he did during all his public appearances. Showed up high as a kite and said very regrettable things without filter. He’s the perfect example of why you shouldn’t get too cocky.

Plus regardless that statement is just wrong lol its not even a matter of preference, Tupac was like the least boring person ever even 25 years later just old stories and the conspiracies about Pac are more entertaining than Xans entire life story 😂
True, either that or be super disrespectful. You have to walk either streets if you want to be something, he tried to walk both. If your both, you can't profit from either and you just fail.
Don't forget, when he was approached at a gas station about it, he pulled a gun on two unarmed dudes.... and he kept on backing up, getting into his hummer or whatever basic crap and leaves, keep in mind HE is the one with the gun. Absolute pu$$y.

There is something to be said about the negative effects of "suffering from early success" and not understanding or learning what it takes to actually be successful.
When I changed careers and started my first big boy "commercial B2B sales" job, through almost complete beginners luck and no effort, I landed several large sales that made me think I was awesome and my job was easy. Im a really hard working person but seeing success come easy gave me the false belief that I didn't really need to do much and I'd still be successful, and in that time I didn't learn the tools necessary to actually be successful.
Fast forward several months and it was a complete 180, I almost had to start over and it was extremely discouraging and stressful feeling like I was only getting worse, when I just hadn't been putting in the effort necessary to do my job. Thankfully I figured that out before it was too late
After
He started to think he was untouchable
and that was his downfall
Well I would not touch him hahaha
He was bound to fail anyway
Well he dug a good hole. But he might come right back up.

Obviously just likes the pity party and doesn't want to grow up and go through the hell of xanax withdrawal.
How can he pull his life together? He has no education, his career is finished, has a terrible personality, and he has no money. I think its only a matter of time before he's a beggar on the street.

I think this is less about someone who “deserved” their downfall and is more about the self-destructive behaviors of an addict. I hope things work out for Lil Xan it doesn’t seem like he’s hurting anyone but himself.
Completely agreed; and you can see it in his mentality as well as his stories, too
The irony in his song betrayed is palpable. He practically sang his downfall. Sad
Can't fully agree to this statement. Sure his drug addictions fueled part of his irresponsible behavior but the dude had shit grades and dropped out freshman year. That was before he became a rapper. He just wanted to be famous, rap, and get high like all the other rappers and his past shows he didn't care enough to put in the work. Just a lazy kid who let the fame take the driver's seat while he kicked back and did nothing to keep his career going.
Deserved in the sense that it was brought on by himself rather than he's a bad person who deserves what he got, drug addiction is a horrible thing and you can't always blame drug addicts for their behavior but its also not an excuse for it, that's why taking responsibility for the things you did is one of the biggest steps in recovery and also something he still seems to be struggling to do
This ain’t just addiction. That’s part of it. But he’s clearly been lazy and entitled his whole damn life.
I swear once a rapper starts publicly saying "I'm done doing music" their worth to labels and potential sponsors drops considerably. That's part of the reason I can respect rappers like Playboi Carti for not doing interviews and not saying much publicly lol

@@Raz-lw9vi huh? a high school education is the bare minimum you can even graduate early and get your GED. high school teaches you general knowledge that everyone should know such as basic math, language, history, and science.

Also news flash lots of jobs require minimum high school and there are programs for students who want to go into trades.

@Fabio Fabi it all comes down to perspective and backgrounds. And the value of money that ourself sees, though seeing struggles and loss.
@@leena5875 Most of what you said there was society telling you you need high school or you won’t get a job. There is obviously more to this but to me, high school is just teaching kids useless stuff that they’ll forget In the future, the only thing high school is good for is a degree. What you learn before high school, that’s actually useful. The school systems are often designed for a older type of society, makes it seem kinda outdated. Ofc don’t let this affect you depending on what you want in life, like if you wanna continue studying, definently finish high school. But me, my interests are not being brung up in school because society doesn’t want us to be entrepreneurs they want us to work with jobs that keeps society running, or making sure you can afford taxes etc. wow longest comment I’ve ever wrote I’m impressed if you made it this far

As a kid who fell into drugs at 14, I cant hate him. I probably acted similarly at times before cleaning up. Sadly, I don't know if he can change without failing first. I can only imagine how sick I would have become if my incredibly stupid and selfish behavior as a kid had been rewarded with millions of dollars.
Exactly.
It’s insane the effect a poor work ethic can have on a person’s life. He had enough money to retire immediately and couldn’t look past the instant gratification.
Drug consumption below the age of 18 can have life changing effects on your mind. This is why theres an age restriction on it.
@Chelsea yea, I've had really important people in my life tell me I just need to get over it, that I have no will power. And thats sadly how most people see it. They are very ignorant about how our brains and reward systems work and how addiction completely changes your wiring. Its a really hard problem to solve, because at a point it does become a disease and your brain is screaming at you constantly (even when you're asleep) to get drugs. But once you overcome the initial withdrawl and stuff, a lot needs to be done by the addict, and if the people around them try to do the work for them it will just end up restarting the cycle. Being homeless was the best thing that could of happened to me at that time. But I was a rare case, and I know plenty of people who just wont accept life without constant substance abuse. It's sad but at a point you need to cut ties, and hope that eventually they see the error in their ways.

he's just make a video & title it "how i fell off" xD
I was in the studio with him and some other producers and artists after a show that he performed at and he showed no interest in listening to the beats and tracks that we we were showing to him, he was too worried about the girl he was with at the studio and that she wanted to leave, he left the studio to try to get her to stay and he ended up leaving and not coming back 🤦🏻♂️

Bro look at him. A girl for a guy that looks like that is incredibly rare, it is literally his job to have people make beats for him he can get those anytime.
He sounds like a simp to me.
I remember seeing a photo of Lil Xan for the first time and immediately thought he's some small time rapper who's always on drugs, hence the name. While he does make a point that sitting in class for about 7 hours a day and not retain some of that information, sitting through those classes would've helped him make more conscious decisions and take responsibility, which he didn't do at all. I can't really feel bad for him, his undoing was no one but his own fault.
Dats why there's this thing called family planning: His momma and daddy should never have brought this piece of feces into the world to begin with :)
@@wolflover968 Pretty sure a lack of parenting is how he got where he is
He’s a bum and a junkie
As sunny said, definetely a difference between failing every class and dropping out year one. It could say it was from unfortunate livihoods, but Xan's extreme laziness, lack of wanting to do work, even performing and making music, he clearly doesn't even want to put effort in once he did one good thing, he just coasted.
Don’t blame him. Blame the media
I can totally believe that Xan convinced himself he was hard working and quitting drugs, but it was probably all just a delusion influenced by how often he took drugs.
11:55 he actually says he's now more of a celebrity than a rapper as if that alone (being famous) would be enough
I'm really not one to give any opinions on these dust bunny SoundCloud rappers but damn, it doesn't take a crystal ball to know their careers will be short lived.
Nah, I think Xan convinced himself he didn't _need_ to work hard or try. That line about quitting rapping to just 'be a celebrity' sings volumes about his actual understanding of the world or what he's doing. Celebrities don't just exist in a vacuum being wealthy. They _do_ something to achieve that status and they _keep_ doing things to maintain it.
Apparently in Xan's mind a tiny fragment of popularity translates to a self sustaining wealthy celebrity life.
@@melhupby astute.
ruclips.net/video/ncwRsuj-wp0/видео.html
I think it’s important to mention that a year ago, Lil Xan did another interview with No Jumper explaining how he’s been completely sober for the past year or two years or so, good for him
Damn it is so easy to see just how BLASTED he was on drugs during all of these appearances. It is honestly sort of sad. I don't feel too horrible for him because of all the crap he's done but as someone who had drug problems in the past, it is really easy to slip into it just so you can feel SOMETHING. There is just something exciting about doing some drug and sitting and waiting for it to kick in. Something to look forward to I guess. Even if it is just for one hour, two hours, three hours. It doesn't matter. It is something to look forward to which is why it is so common to see broken individuals fall into drugs. Nothing else to look forward to. Just create it yourself. Especially easy for kids who don't really have any other goals.
EDIT: Take it into DMs if you're gonna fight with someone over something so stupid.

His situation is a little different as he suffered from severe panic attacks from a young age to the point him and his mom claim it was debilitating.. this lead to the doc putting him on benzos which eventually ofc leads to a dependence and serious addiction.

I've never heard his music but I genuinely hope he gets some help and turns his life around.
Drug addiction is absolutely the fault of the drug user. Personal responsibility is a thing, and doing drugs is a choice, no matter how you look at it.
So, the drug dealer tied him down and forced him to do them? Yes, addiction is hell but at some point, he chose to do them, so it is 100% his fault.

Without a proper support system, it's hard to break the cycle. If he had hurt someone, then he would need to take responsibility, but the only person he's hurting is himself and it's sad.

...so were you. And so was I. We ALL were when we were young. We just tend to not remember it very well.
And you also have to look at your own confirmation bias.
Without even being aware of it, you will look at certain examples, like the one you talked about here, and you will make note of it because it fits your preconception
That's just conformation bias at work./
Why don't you look at what the local chess club is doing?
I'll bet none of them would behave in a way that you have noticed in your example here.
Why don't you start looking at examples of young people who are bright and not all about attention seeking or materialism, or whatever it is that you see as the problem with todays youth.
you are talking about all youth, and there is just as much variety in them than there ever was, including your generation./
The only difference is, they grew up in the information age.
So, that means that the smart ones KNOW how to use that to their advantage. And are going to be more mature than any prior generation ever could be.
To repeat, perhaps you shouldn't be looking at a lil Xan video as the example of youth today, as it is a tiny cross section. It is only feeding your confirmation bias.
A bias, by the way, that we all have. Once you are aware of it, you can be less and less beholden to it.
Man I’m so glad the day has come that these “cloud” rappers are now fizzing out. Real talent and real grit will always persevere.
There was no reason to put cloud in quotes. SoundCloud.
@@Cbd_7ohm I think he was trying to say "clout" rappers lol
@@tjali563 no cloud rappers are supposed to be have a chill stoner like vibe to them and their music, where you listen for the vibes more than for deep lyrics
Lil peep was cool tho
nah thats just hating. some soundcloud rappers have lots of talent they just ruined their career by making dumb decisions and not knowing how the game works. if you think talent decides how someone "fizzes" out then you arent used to the music industry at all
Honestly:
*Lil Xan never had a chance to become relevant to begin with. Just like Lil Pump and Smokepurpp, they weren’t going to last long and the hype train has officially left the building. The “Tupac makes boring music” comments was just the final nail in the coffin for his career.*
Well the thing is betrayed still holds up, going back to lil pumps music makes me wonder if we were all brain dead
It’s because they are memes no one listens to their music and actually likes it. Real artists maintain their popularity, that’s why people like pac, mercury and beatles are still relevant even tho they don’t do music anymore
Lil pump and smokepurpp had wayyyyy way more of a career and success than lil xan, lil pump was huge for a while & had only recently in like the last year or two dropped off. Lil xan had one song and that’s it.
@@bruhdon4748 wonder what pump has been up to
@JojoTheGeneral bro shut up
I liked the ending when he said "this could be the end of lil xans career"
That part warmed the cockles of my heart.
Maybe even below the cockles, we don't know

@@Biring1 dude for real this hits it right on the spot
Man I felt so bad when they showed a clip of him damaging his own car , My car got into an accident and it took me so long time and money to get it fixed . It was horrible going to work without the car
😂☠️😂☠️😂☠️😂☠️😂☠️😂☠️😂☠️😂☠️😂
So you felt bad for the car or...
@@boejudden9011 He felt bad because he could’ve used said car, and saw how ungrateful he is.
@Utah Shaw fuck that sucks I’m sorry to hear that man, that’s such bs
What, did your car sneak out one night, get loaded and smack a tree?
The smashing of the tv hurts my heart. It was probably a nice tv.
Yeah.....the lack of personal responsibility is what makes him truly hard to feel bad for.
T Pain is still legendary if you ask me I remember him being one of the pioneers of popularizing autotune in his hip hop songs.
Whether you think that is talent or not is up to you, but he had a unique sound that still carries on today in most modern hip hop.
Too many people just crank up the auto-tune and think they're doing it like T-pain... but they're not. Dude is actually a singer and performs like it. His auto-tune sounds like it does because he does his thing with the auto-tune in mind. Most these others acts are half assing what they do and expect the auto-tune to do all the work. T-pains sound is 90% him and 10% auto-tune. That's why he still sounds great without it.
@@bl6628 maybe even 95% him. He can sing all his hits acapella, and the only difference is that it sounds more natural. He hits all the notes either way.
T pain can sing and has talent ( compared to xan)
@@thingswhynot I almost said 80/20 lol. T-pain has even said in interviews that auto-tune made his career. He was singing and rapping for a while but he wasn't very successful. T-pain is definitely all of the talent but auto-tune is definitely responsible for his sound. It's not a bad thing it's just what it is.
@@bl6628 fair fair. Honestly, auto tune is just another instrument. If you’re good with it, it will sound good.
The interesting thing is it seems like he’s extremely aware of his actions he just has at the same time an extreme lack of responsibility for his actions.
And that's why one can obtain success but not hold onto it.
@Dani Al yo same
Is he & Billie Elish the same person?
he named himself after a pharmaceutical tranquilizer. what did you expect.
This hurt to sit through. I knew absolutely nothing about Lil Xan before this, and I now wish for that happier time in my life.
😂
I empathize, as I had to suffer through the same pain as you.
I agree with you 100%
Damn that is an old account
Lmfao screw him don't be giving your pitty to fools like this.
Seeing T Pain always makes me happy. He seems like such a fun dude to be around. That will always help you even if your music career fails. But Xan is the representation of a burnout loser.
He streams on twitch. It's a pretty good watch. On certain days, he has viewers/chat send him their songs and he plays them giving advice and what not.
This made me realize I would love to have a beer with t pain!
he always looks so happy lol
Just the way t pain talks is musical and rhythmic, I could listen to him talk all day
Dude is someone I both hate but also have a level of sympathy for. He wasted some huge opportunities, refuses to take accountability, and doesn't have much of a work ethic. But he also went from an uneducated kid who grew up in motels, struggling with addiction and poverty, to suddenly being surrounded by swarms of fans, media, and corrupt industry professionals. It was a very sudden, massive lifestyle change and the show business industry is known for mistreating/taking advantage of naive young artists. So many other people who've been in that position have opened up about how difficult it was. I'm sure that shit led to him leaning more on his addictions to cope. He's been hospitalized on a psychiatric hold but he's never personally opened up about his mental health or any trauma he likely faced growing up in the situation he did. Having said that..I think he needs to seriously work on himself, confront his flaws, and access the resources available to him to grow as a person. Not everyone in this country is lucky enough to be in a position, like he is, where they can get help.
Yeah, getting real help gets costly. That's the biggest thing I think people don't understand.
What about all the kids in same situation only without the opportunity Xan had?
Feel sorry for them too??
@@goldenglowable but Xan had rehabs paid for for him and all the help in the world 🌎- he chose to relapse every time he come out of rehab … all 7 times
@@realeyesbars yes, no one said otherwise lol
@@realeyesbars What about my statement makes you think I don't have sympathy for them? This video was about Xan so I spoke about him specifically. Of course I feel for every person who grows up in those circumstances and has to overcome trauma and poverty and work their way up from nothing. That shit is fucking rough, I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Addiction is also a very real illness and relapses are a part of recovery for many people. Money doesn't buy happiness if you're not ready to confront your own demons.
Even if his manager did supply him with the drugs he took them so he’s accountable for it.
He never had any talent to begin with so he was doomed from the get-go. We're living in a world where any loser can get famous for a short period of time. It seems to be luck of the draw nowadays.
A world that celebrates mediocrity.
To be fair it's always been the luck of the draw. Unless the elite chose to raise you from the peasentry anyway.
@@Whickerx7 yeah and I would say it's better now that there are more 'draws' (that dont rely on the 'elite') so more people get a shot.
@@chickenlittle5095 still I bet you buy/consume everything these fool are paid to promote. Funny right🤷♂️
@@pokermitten9795 If the elite don't like what you are saying they try to kill your career before it even gets started. It doesn't always work out for them so there is that at least.
That's the thing with a good income, when the money is good, you take it for granted. When you take it for granted and don't save up. Happened to me back when 2010-2011, when I made money with RUclips, I was a teenager and took it for granted, receiving 1K per month was great at 16. I spent it all then it stopped. Always save money !
Damn bro one of your vids got 4 million!! That's crazy. Good advice you puttin out though
@@JSowder21 my previous videos had more, but since I re-branded my channel, I put all of the rest in private mode. It's good that I had this lesson younger, because now I try to always have money for emergencies.
Yep you either learn early to save or suffer late because you didn’t save and then learn to save anyways
@@RBeeMedia why “rebrand” tho. It’s good to keep old videos to see how you change. Except if your old videos are cringe af then I totally understand
@@Raz-lw9vi My previous videos were mostly compilations of various car videos. The "Ad-pocalypse" happened and I lost all monetization on these videos, so when I started my current photo/video production company, I didn't want to create an entirely new channel. I only left my Jeff Goldblum's video, since people seem to genuinely enjoy it, even though it is no longer relevant with my current content :)
See imagine if he took the strategy Belle Delphine did. She knew she had a limited time in the spotlight, catered what she was doing to have maximum appeal, was literally making over a million a month and clearly saved at least most of it, and now can just go and do whatever she wants.
she went to school, so her brain developed a bit more unlike his
@@ademiravdic she's smart.she had high iQ.
shes a female, look at how she made her money...not the same
@@GoatReactz using 'female' the way an incel would...somehow i'm not surprised you're too dumb to see the same strategy can be used with a different money making method 🤣🤣
@@GoatReactz thats not the point, the point is what she does with that money she made, female or not
this is so sad to see. never listened to lil Xan and never really cared but after watching this video he’s been through some shit growing up in redlands plus being a young kid addicted to drugs and getting rich and famous isn’t easy especially when no one guiding you or checking you. Didn’t know mac was his hero either, i cried so much when mac died.
While I don’t think he “deserves” his failure, he certainly brought it upon himself. I don’t have personal experience with drug addiction but I had family that did, (rest in piece Josiah) I’ve seen what it can do to someone. I truly hope this man can find help.
Sorry to hear that bro🙏
I'm sorry for your loss man, addiction is terrible
Well, he sure as shit didn't "deserve" any success
@Corey lmao mommy chose a pipe over you and left you in your feelings huh? Hope you find peace little man🙏 lmaooooo
He does deserve them. You deserve exactly what you put into something. That's how it works. And since he didn't put shit into it, he isn't getting shit back. He's getting exactly what he deserves. The problem is he didn't learn from it. Much like most of the current generations who have an air of 0 accountability.
3:03 that cat must be high af
Speaking as someone who struggled with a painkiller addiction for 8 years, things will always end up crumbling after a while, no matter how long it takes. Drugs and success are generally non compatible in the long run. Blowing off all the meetings and responsibilities is par for the course. I did the same kinda sh*t while I was addicted, and I only realized that it wasn't ok after I had gotten clean and become a normal responsible human being lol
Congratulations on getting clean. I was a junkie for many many years. I’m 6 years clean now and life is good. Always great to hear someone else managed to beat the beast.
Thankfully you've gone clean. I hope you're doing well.

@@pauljones6629 Simple: Reality check for them.
It’s crazy watching videos like this, about the people that were known from 2017-2018 now becoming washed up. Crazy to think everyone was talking about them, either in a good or bad light, now end up like this. Times are really changing huh
That's what happens when you clout chase with trends that come and go quickly, especially with kids lol
Honestly tho this is a big reality check tbh
He was born washed up
lmao you zoomers are straight ridicule.
Most careers started through “internet fame” last a max of three years before they lose relevancy, unfortunately so many of these people think their career will stay on this high forever, overestimating their talent and/or marketing strategy’s (if they ever even had one) ability to keep them relevant.
As a result they blow all their money on a rich egoistic lifestyle just assuming they’ll always have an income this size. It’s frustrating to watch as they could’ve had a moderate lifestyle paid for, for the rest of their life if they’d have been money wise.
I think we can all recall a lot of Internet personalities who were viral a couple of years ago that no one talks about anymore, fame just doesn’t last and as a result, neither does the money. But it doesn’t seem like most people are ever going to learn this lesson.
"One day, them kids that's listening gon' grow up

i was thinking of this song throughout this whole video
If I ever got big and had a lot of money I’d literally just buy a middle class house and chill💀 I wouldn’t ever try to flex. I’d just be happy to be living comfortable like literally everyone should.

12:37 “the industry doesn’t care, they just want you to pump out records then leave you in the dirt”
Duhhh. 🤷♀️
I do feel somewhat sorry for him. But his worth ethic is definitely a problem. *I looked at the comments and a good point to make is that he might have ADHD. And thinking about his lack of motivation. I also think the same. But it could also just be his personality mixed into it. Either way, hopefully he gets help.
When I dropped out of high school, it was because of my mental breakdown (I'm not willing to share my mental health openly, It was awful. Let's just say, I harmed myself and hurt my family and friends). Two years later returned to complete my education and of course, didn't get the best grades, but it felt amazing that I could finish my high school and later my college education.
Props to you for the dedication! And also for being self aware enough to care about your mental health and putting it first above all else! As a college graduate who finished with more anxiety than debt, I wish I had done the same before!

Finally it’s Here😂⬆️..
This sounds insane but it’s very likely he has undiagnosed ADHD and just doesn’t know it. That is a huge reason why a lot of people drop out and develop addictions, they literally don’t have enough dopamine in their brain to function properly so they can’t focus on school or work and literally chase after the drugs that give them dopamine
It’s a much much MUCH bigger problem than people would even expect. It’s a super misunderstood illness but explains a lot of the “I just can’t do it. I can’t do that bullshit” attitudes that exist around school. Or work ethic. When it’s so boring your brain doesn’t naturally produce enough dopamine to keep doing it well….. you’re fucked. And you’ll keep doing the easy short things that give you that quick dopamine boost.
Also explains the impulsiveness and how he’s spent through all of his funds this quickly
When I was in high school I did pretty well until I developed a severe drug addiction. I went from being set to graduate early at sixteen to being a high school drop out. I got my shit a little bit more together and enrolled in Independent studies, I graduated and walked the stage at 19. I don’t know you but I relate to your story and just want to say you’re strong as fuck for going back and graduating. I know how hard that can be.
@@Angel-jt2pl ye during the video i was like wait i think this guy could have adhd or some shit lol
Never heard of this dude but as soon as I saw his interview immediately noticed he's got that junkie sluggishness you get after years of drug abuse. As someone who used to abuse drugs heavily I can say that some shit will actually make u so unmotivated and sluggish once you come down. This dude needs to get clean, would have been better for his career as well as his life but hey.. I'm not one to judge.
Good for you, for being able to get rid of your addiction. That's not something many people can brag about

When you mix a "One-hit" celebrity and a drug addict, it will never end well. It's a shame really since he seems like a chill dude. Hopefully he'll realize his mistakes and get clean, then he might have a chance to come back.
To be fair he was more of a two or three hit celebrity but point still stands
most people here dont understand that its simply because gimmick rappers inherently cannot stay relevant

You can't say "I used to bea drug addict"! You should always remember that your always going to be an addict but can manage it. Once you assume you're fine, you could relapse. Even after years of sobriety. Diego has never been completely sober. 🙏 I hope he find his way in life.
You do look the type to never stop
I'm a recovering addict. It's VERY hard to work and function when you're constantly fucked up, and I was considered a "high functioning" addict. So many of these young rappers are constantly self medicating and it shows, it's not sustainable especially to the extent that these guys go. If you are clouded constantly with substances your work will eventually suffer and that's what happened here. He got caught up in the lifestyle and the drugs only fueled everything. It's sad, but he has no one to blame but himself.
Same here. At first a lil bit of drugs made me super creative, but once dependent it took the joy and creativity out of everything. The body tries to balance you out so if you're on pain meds youll be in worse pain off of them. Drugs really spoil any passion(except passion for drugs). Drugs, Im sad and miserable on them but for some reason sad when theyre gone. Definition of a toxic relationship. I couldnt imagine trying to handle success messed up. These kids are in for a lot of trouble and depression.
I blame meds and the fact that addictions are not taken seriously enough by doctors and society, everyone put stigma on addiction, it doesn't help. Plus Big Pharma putting those drugs out.
@@emmaphilo4049 it's the stigma and the lack of education about proper mental illness treatment. Medications taken properly with doctor's supervision are valid and important. Most people that abuse these medications aren't even prescribed them, again the stigma makes it seem that way. Better education on addiction needs to be discussed with our youth, especially with all these young rappers coming out and glamourizing this lifestyle it's only making it worse
