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").

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

I'm gonna man up and admit that I was wrong. There's a lot I didn't get about Lil Peep. But he was good.

I'm still not going to be sitting around listening to Lil Peep, but this one is pretty and the video is poignant (as people point out in the comments, it's shot like it was already a memorial): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mu5xpZdYoQ0

Idk what made me come around but there’s a certain nocturnal quality to much of his music that I can appreciate. It feels pure.
― human and working on getting beer (longneck), Friday, 17 November 2017 22:19 (six years ago) link
thanks for that comp deej i will def be listening later
― -_- (jim in vancouver), Friday, 17 November 2017 22:25 (six years ago) link
Also I agree with deej in that grunge is the main frame of reference for most of the guitar stuff he does, at least post crybaby. Part of why I didn't like him initially, I think, is that I kind of left grunge for rap back in the day and have not been thrilled by the prospect of grunge coming back in the context of rap. But it is what it is.

Been randomly checking out some of his stuff, fully expecting to hate it, based on most descriptions I've read, but I really don't - whatever the influences (I kinda hear Beck sometimes), he did his own thing with them and it worked. RIP.

deej, It's not passive, I actively dislike you.
your imaginary sense of ownership on very specific artists is offensive enough but it's particularly horrible when you're preening about how ahead of the curve you were for an artist who is getting a "died for the sins of his generation" treatment in GQ.

What “ownership” dumbass?? What fucking ownership? I said I liked something & made a case for it, that’s it
Saying it’s crazy how the convo went from highly controversial /trash talking to literary greats over the course of a few months doesn’t actually have anything to do with me?
You are completely projecting
And it’s passice aggressive bc you just run into every thread sniping about it in fake little asides instead of actually having a conversation
