    I was introduced to x and his music through my kids. His music is really good. There is doubt he was a rare talent and his message resonated because it is genuine and represents the experiences of a significant number of youth. It is rare to find an artist of any kind that is stable and plays well with others. I love Dr G, but I think what he is missing here is that X was really starting to talk about turning his life around and had taken some observable steps. He was not killed as a result of any drug or gang activity and in that particular situation had done nothing more than shop for a motorcycle with cash and was jumped by 4 people trying to steal money that he had earned through his
    Music. We really don’t know what kind of person or role model he would have become as he does too young. We just know he was a person who was exposed to crime and violence his whole life as as Dr G pointed out, he had to attempt to use violence to protect his mother at 6 years old. He did a lot of
    Bad stuff, but genuinely seemed to be trying towards the end. I wish he could have lived long enough to get past 27, straighten his life out, proceed to make terrible music, and be an actual role model.

    “It’s almost like his music career interfered with his life of crime.” That is amusing, but also rings so true. Also, it was a very interesting observation that the type of music he sang had to come from a place of experience, I never thought of that.

      I both agree and disagree with a lot of the "it had to come from experience" characterization. A lot of his style of rap is really based on expressing, dealing with depression, trauma, paranoia, persecution, competition etc. and the gangsta life is and others' his way of experiencing and depicting that kind of emotional material. but other kinds of rap, like other kinds of expression, have their ways of dealing with the same stuff without the exact same circumstances being involved

      @sinderella23 3 года назад +21

      What facts?? Sounds like his entire analysis is based on two radio interviews and news headlines. Not X's personal IG posts that are all over youtube. The 3 hr interview with Akademiks where he described his sense of responsibility inspite of his personal struggles to, to help kids like him get through the troubles he's experienced. His charity work. His mother dropping him at random ppls houses with no diapers or formula and going off with her bf and stripping and prostituting. Getting in fights in school so his mom would be called so he could get to see her. He has abondonment issues. Witnessed violence against his mom not just the one time at 6. Multiple times. Learned relationships from his parents and his mom and her pimp. Repeatedly saying no one cares about him other than his money. He wants to die but he has responsibilities to the ppl who tell him, like Curt Kobain, that his music keeps them going. He encouraged his fans to practice the laws of the universe. Journal and chase their dreams. He was tortured and there's no question as to why. It's not an excuse for his behavior but a reason. The fact he left behind a son he didn't get to see born. I could go on and on. The little snide comments Mr. Grande makes aren't funny. Ppl are really hurting and acting out as a result of that. No OCEAN breakdown is going to explain that. The human brain it too complex. Too many variables. There's no coincidence that he said he would be reborn after he died and that the last two music vids he shot was of him attending his owm funeral, mastering his mind and observing life in the afterlife. Then finding out two days after his death he had a son on the way that is his spitting image.

    That's the sad thing about the entertainment industry - the image and story of the artist is just as important as the music. That coupled with the negativity bias of the brain means that bad press gets seen more than positive press. Like if X was just a nice kid who made music on the weekends while studying at Christian University, literally no one would care. This is almost the same as Dr. Grande's channel - serial killers, conmen, mental disorders, etc. get the clicks. If this channel was dedicated to healthy individuals leading productive lives and not a veritable freak show, then I doubt anyone would watch.

      That's exactly how I was feeling and it's where I can't like nor can I dislike it. Like MouthSoap says he looked up very limited info, most likely from his wikipedia page or something similar and it really just felt, disrespectful but not on purpose. This made X look more like a pure cold blooded criminal and didn't delve into what his music actually was rather than violent crime rap. Even during his soundcloud days where he was at his most violence we saw songs like Snow, that show his weaknesses and his depression that was most likely the reasons for his actions, attempts to make himself either fill the hole in his heart or to just sustain and get by, which is no excuse for his actions at all but the origin of his actions. X obviously wasn't proud of his life, hence late 2017 and 2018 where he did his best to change his life around to be a better person, something he achieved but was ultimately murdered once it happened. I won't get mad at the doctor though, he seemed very misinformed and just overall limited to what he could fully learn so, it makes sense why the video is the way it is.

    I refused to listen to his music when he was alive because of how terrible he was. Once he died I listened and quite enjoyed his music. Because he died, it feels less like I am supporting/promoting his terrible behaviors.
    I feel like he had some mental health problems. Some of his lyrics (SAD!, Jocelyn Flores, Everybody Dies in Their Nightmares, Depression & Obsession, as examples) openly discuss depression, suicidal ideations and feeling trapped in his mind. These are songs that he wrote, and the way they were sang them really conveys true emotion, which is why I found myself liking his music once I listened. His music actually made me feel like I was quite harsh on him before he died - not because the things he did weren’t absolutely horrible, but because life simply isn’t black and white and money doesn’t fix family problems or make you exempt from mental health issues.

    Fun fact: I knew him when he was a kid. My cousin was best friends with him when they were kids. I used to baby sit them and he was a bad kid. He always influenced my cousin to act bad when they were together. They were very unruly and did not give a shit for adult commands.
    It’s sad, because while his adult actions are not justified, he was definitely groomed to be the adult he was. No rules. No care for another. Sad.
    It’s the main reason I don’t want to have kids. Always look to the parents. They failed their child.

    Solid analysis, Dr. Grande. I can't claim to know what your childhood was like or who you are as a person, but I can almost guarantee it was nothing like Jahseh's. You have probably always been well adjusted or at least reasonable. If you grew up like him, you would probably understand why his mind worked the way it did. His music reflected the way his mind worked and it was wonderful and refreshing, in a creative sense.

    This was very interesting, but one of the things you got quite wrong is that you said you didn't know why he'd commit robberies when he was already making it as a rapper. From all points of view he had stopped doing BnEs and robberies before his death because he had millions of dollars. He was trying to turn his life around. i understand that you may not have done super in depth research on him before making the video but you did a good job with what you know, there's just a few things mistaken.
    I made a video about him the year he died about how he built a cult, but I did it before understanding a lot about him. I have since "researched" a lot (AKA find him fascinating and so I read up on him a lot) and understand a lot of things I was wrong about in regards to him

    Let's consider popular music and what it means: that the art form is crafted for a low education public (the education level has declined from folk to rap) and the sine qua non, profit. You can't make a competitive profit (investors cause the equation) without telling your public they are important. This is where classical music forms diverge: they require their audiences to reach to comprehend a work of genius. Rap is important to the self assurance of life's downtrodden and we should not forget that function. When I read in the NYT Art pages that it's the newest and biggest wave, I can see that in the scope of popular art, it is, but in the world of major art it isn't a footnote. Its function is more sociological.

I don't dislike rap and I do like the blues which is a very simple form of music. Simple certainly doesn't mean ineffective. I do have a problem with the fuss every generation of pre adults makes over its signature music. Now you have me right, I was born immediately after WW II and really prefer music from The American Songbook but was a very early Bob Dillon appreciator, you know, all that stuff. My generation took its music too seriously, far too seriously, and perverted it into "social statements" and eventually a culture war. Nobody is standing at the pulpit here. I grew up in a musical household and was exposed to the kind of music 1940's folks liked. Then on to very early rock n roll and folk and so on. I have been amazed by music from some great artists of every generation I have witnessed. Nobody has a lock on culture.

You’d do the same in his position with 100,000 plus people tryna touch you in places you don’t wanna be touched. He never abused his girl if you know him he loved her to death & tried getting her clean off drugs she was one of the reason he was so depressed because he felt betrayed by the only women he loved close by his mother. That’s why jah would do so many crimes back in his younger days his mother was a stripper and he just wanted attention from her & his mother’s love again how can you blame him?. Jahseh never got knocked out he got sucked punched lol, why do people only try to glorify the mistakes in one when no one is perfect just because he’s made different mistakes then you doesn’t give you the right to knock this man down like he portrayed crime. X did good just sometimes your past mistakes catch up yes x was a “ criminal “ back then I guess you can say but he did it for attention from his mother the only person that was still in the picture since his dad got locked up and ended up moving back to Jamaica. Jah changed in many different ways his insane that he was human, my guy was a charismatic person, he loved to laugh & especially seeing other people laugh. He had character someone you can relate too. Yet he felt alone because that’s all he’s ever known, when your locked up for a crime you know you didn’t commit it fucks with you mentally and physically. When you talk about his “crimes” talk about how he tried to change the world by trying to unite as one , he would host charities he would donate to his community, he made a song for parkland when the shooting happened and also visited the victims involved. Not only that he also even hosted a free show, and even before his death day legit hours before he posted on his ig that he wanted to host a charity in his community. When you talk about jahseh don’t only talk about his “crimes” talk about how he impacted thousands of people to remain positive and to keep pushing forward when its rough. LONG LIVE JAHSEH ONFROY 🖤🦋

      Did you know Dr. Grande did a piece on him - and it's profanity free?

    This is why lil Peep didn't want to make a record with X. He also hurt a mentally fragile girl whom later killed herself in a hotel room he dumped her at. The song Jocelyn is influenced by it. I don't get why he was worshipped. Thank you for the range of people you cover, Dr. Grande. ❤️🔥

      Hey, so this isn’t true. The real reason why Lil Peep and X didn’t hit it off is because members of GBC stayed at Ski Mask’s house, and some clothes got stolen. People accused Peep of stealing the clothes, but it was actually Yunggoth. X didn’t like Peep when he initially heard that, but when he realized Peep had zero involvement in the stolen clothes, X didn’t have a problem with Peep anymore. Peep’s closest friends say that he actually wanted to meet X in Florida in early November 2017.

    No commentary on his suicidal, creepy lyrics??? I think that's where the real analysis is. I didn't know him before he died. I listened to some of his lyrics. I felt depressed and dark inside. I can only imagine those who meditated on that type of abysmal negativity. Sad.

      I like the song but its definitely some depressed, dark lyrics.

    I think you over- generalize rappers: 1. They are not all Xxx. 2. I think it is important to delve deep and understand how people connect w XXX and other rappers in terms of their lyrics and beats. I think people connect to feeling trapped by structural factors: a lack of resources, feeling stereotyped, and...a criminal social identity seems a life sentence. I CERTAINLY do not condone these behaviors. I do think that this is nothing new, and there are deeper cultural, systemic, and racial issues that merit further research. Thanks. So many thoughts and research about this topic
