In honour of xxxtantacion..... RIP or get well soon?
It's not everyday you get to hear that an hiphop artist was shot, most of the time, we see them moving around with body guards, whole details of people who are supposed to help them out of a stiky situation, usually the press, or haters of their music, or something relatively minor.
But then there are times whereby a person nust wants to be free, to be without constant supervision, to be without the caged feeling, and so celebrities often go out on their own, especially when they are in their own neighborhood.
Jahseh Dwayne Onfroy, aka xxxtantacion broke conventional norms with his unique style of rapping and his unique behavior.
His sound of choice was weird, horror-type music, mostly deep trap sounds were used and it evolked the feeling of reflection, to think, have deep thoughts and reflect on the past.
His vibes were much different from the likes of kanye, woth kanye songs having a much happier tone to it, even drake and weeknd would be considered happy when compared to xxxtantacion.
Being 20years of age, he also was a youth coming out of a troubled florida society and finally having a breakthrough in life.
He was however, shoot on june 18th, 2018 by some gangstars for some yet unknown reasons, although twitter is already buzzing up with reports of the culprits emerging.
He strikes me of something of a troubled child, I was looking for his biography, but they arent really a lot about him out there, one of the well known fact about him is that at age 6, he stabbed a man that was assualting his mother.
If you end up thinking about depression, loneliness, death, saddness, being vulnerable, needing comfort, while listening to his music, dont worry, thats exactly the sort of emotion he aims to bring out via his music.
The way to success is by mastering your art, and clearly he did, he knew what the people in his area wanted, and went for ut, he knew what would strike a chord in their hearts in Florida, and went for it.
All in all, his albums 17 and ? ( yes his second album name was basically a question mark) reflects his detachment from society.
I really hope he isnt yet dead, initial reports says he is though, lets see how the future holds.
