Thraed of Lil Peep

deej thinks he's a real head, not even au fait with the bizkit's oeuvre pfffft

i only know the singles

and

THIS IS THE REAL MOTHERFUCKIN DEAL YALL

plenty of singing on singles even

I was just looking at Wikipedia so I could make a list of all the LB singles where Fred sings (there are a bunch) and it is a little startling how completely omnipresent this band was considering they don't have a single top-40 hit. I know it was a different era and all but still; MTV was really sustaining careers at this point.

They didn't? Mind very blown.

deej....sometimes i wonder if you were ~really~ feelin those lighters or if it was all just a game to you

"re-arranged" is is my favorite bizkit song and it's all singin' durst

ILX re-assessing LB ouevre is a new low

excuse me i have always cared about nu-metal

hey I don't come to you with my problems

don't come to me with your issues

BILOXI!!!!!

on 'faith' he's singing someone else' song. i remember that, and 'nookie,' and 'the outside' which is with staind, and 'rollin,' which doesn't really have singing unless you count ROLLINROLLINROLLIN, and 'break stuff' (again no singing really), and 'n 2gether now' which again—no singing

im not saying there's no connection bc i think its *bad* that peep would sound like durst, ive argued from post one that his stuff is 'bad on paper good in execution' but of the most popular durst songs i don't really hear it. he was much more known for that grainy rap style imo, and for like SHOUTING the choruses while his voice box gets shredded a la "Faith"

going through youtube now i'm hearing a couple songs w/ singing that i have zero memory of, but they don't sound substantially more peep-ish than staind or alice in chains

i know ppl want to defend the Real Artistry of the early 90s alt rock stuff but

the way he slurs & half-sings reminds me more of liam gallagher

i get the comparison conceptually, fwiw, dont think its totally off, but i dont hear it in the vocal style

also the tempos on peep songs are way closer to the slow grind of 'rooster' than they are to 'n 2gether now'

Why would anyone defending the Real Artistry of early 90s alt rock bring up Limp Bizkit?

i think he's suggesting they're bringing up limp bizkit wrt lil peep because they don't want to sully the real artistry of early 90s alt rock by comparing the vocal style to lil peep

"re-arranged" video is like the prelude to the "n 2gether now" video you gotta get the whole story man

the way he sings faith is p much the same way he songs on other songs

just one more fight about Peep's influence, and i will straight up FP this shit

I don't give a rat's ass about"defending" 90s alt rock like Alice in Chains or whatever shit I never listen to from being sullied by Lil Peep. I just heard a song, the vocals reminded me of Durst, that's it.

It would make more sense to me though, just in terms of LB's heyday was later than grunge. I don't know. Just thought it sounded like Durst.

idk i could be wrong like i said LB wasn't a group i payed close attention to

thread got awesome

I'm starting to get into lil peep.

it's not too late; talk to your doctor immediately.

my doctor loves goth boi clique

the key to me, to liking peep music, was realizing that he has written many very good songs

fuck

i know :(

Legitimately very sad about this. Just a boy really, turned 21 this month.

a lot of this stuff really is more descended from durst-shepherded post-grunge (with some ‘10s idioms sprinkled in). anyway rip

i knew rhcp was a part of this

jeez

this sucks

rip peep

I took a real liking to this dude and would check YT from time to time hoping for something new. Loved the video where he talks about his tattoos, seemed genuinely decent and sensitive and self effacing. Thanks D-40 for the introduction.

really sad

a little window into the opioid crisis, a true epidemic which i imagine most of us are too old to have much exposure to

wow this is terrible rip peep

xanax is a benzodiazapine

Deaths from overdose on benzos alone are rare. Probably a fentanyl OD from street drugs (although they may have purportedly have been "Xanax").

Feel bad for saying it but I was having a hard time imagining him at 30, 40, etc. RIP.

:(

incredibly sad

beamer boy had like 20k views when this thread was started. he blew up quicker than anybody I can think of

listened to crybaby this morning, kind of a masterpiece imo

Promise me it's real
Girl, I got a deal
You could be my girl if I could be your world

been listening 2 him all day ~ really just gutted damn

honestly i think hellboy is one of the best records of the 2010s, and sadly, feel like this may make it more thought of in that way :|

ya as good as hellboy and crybaby are it was obvious his best work was ahead of him. could have been a huge star

I became semi-obsessed with Peep after I saw this track uploaded to the No Jumper YouTube channel in early March 2016 and began compulsively checking all his older shit. It felt like he hadn't really polished the records yet but there were so many musical possibilities it made you really curious where he was going to go with it. I think early on, especially, I was drawn to how it built on the formal sound of drill but the textural qualities of rock (and even a lil dubstep in this record).

That same month I made a mini-comp of my favorites, an 11 track mix you can download here. I'd probably pick different songs today, but I think this holds up. I was afraid I might get bored relistening, but I feel like I was able to winnow the early stuff down to a--not comprehensive, but definitely listenable selection. His real debut didn't come until June or July of that year with Crybaby. But yeah, if you're looking to hear some of his earlier stuff check this out
