lil peep - lil peep (r.i.p.) lyrics

disclaimer: glamorizing drugs is not cool

during november 2017 emo rapper lil peep died from overdosing on fentanyl-laced xanax, fentanyl is 50-100x stronger than heroin, the probable cause is an accidental overdose

lil peep was at the forefront of popularizing the subgenre of alternative/emo/rap music all while popularizing an emo, punk aesthetic. this style has been popular among self-proclaimed “rockstar” artists like lil uzi, trippie redd and rappers like lil pump and smokepurpp (face tattoos, dyed hair, etc.)

lil peep posted one of his last instagram videos, a video of him eating xanax bars which many people suspect were pressed with an extremely deadly and potent chemical fentanyl

lil peep sadly obviously struggled with suicidal ideation:

i deleted pray i die i’m sorry

— goth angel sinner (@lilpeep) january 22, 2016

i am a depressed drug addict and i’m nearing my breaking point. everything i love is disappearing

— goth angel sinner (@lilpeep) february 17, 2017

though it was slightly blasphemous, peep compared himself to kurt cobain who infamously committed suicide at age 27.

in punk and grunge, rock songs t-tled with motifs like nirvana’s “i hate myself and want to die” were standard. as rap music continues changing and evolving, alternative emo/grunge rap is merging into the rap world, meaning artists are becoming more comfortable discussing topics that include their own personal problems, relationship issues, depression, and mental health.

g*nius posted a vid about “how lil peep, lil uzi vert, and trippie redd are bringing back emo” (to a certain extent).

depression has been a recurring theme in hip-hop-rap for years and it blends well with the alternative rock that was coming from rising soundcloud rapper lil peep, we should realize these artists truly put their hearts on their sleeves in their songs. while his songs have been noted for being particularly emo and slightly grunge, his tweets and instagram posts before a concert led fans to be worried about lil peep who overdosed before his concert. source: late into the night on november 15, 2017, lil peep p-ssed away due to a drug overdose. the tragic news was confirmed by his manager on instagram. he was 21. whether or not it was intentional or not is unknown, however, six xanax would usually not qualify for a suicide attempt, lil peep got a bad batch of fentynal laced xanax and overdosed and died

whether lil peep intentionally k!lled himself or not, this is a tragedy and should be a big reminder to be extra careful, research about your drugs, research and test dosages before using

lil peep had obviously struggled with suicidal thoughts in the past. tweeting: “i deleted pray i die i’m sorry”

suicide among rap artists is nothing new, in 2012 capital st–z p-ssed away on december 24, 2012 at the age of 19 from an apparent suicide

with new wave rappers such as lil uzi vert and xxxtenacation shifting trends, baring more emotion in their music it makes it easier for upcoming artists to speak about their own relationship problems, drug abuse, and depression

however kid cudi pioneered putting his feelings on the line with raps people could relate to: “in 2008, kid cudi announced his musical presence to the world with the gloomy, melodic masterpiece “day n night.” cudi wrote the song while dealing with the death of his uncle, and in the years that followed its release, he battled drugs and depression. in an april interview with the folks at billboard, “the pursuit of happiness” performer explained that appreciating the luxuries and comforts he’s been able to afford himself and his family helped shake him out of his depression, something he had used drugs to deal with in the past. “i have everything i ever dreamed of in terms of stability. but i hadn’t been living that reality, because depression was f-cking me up,” he explained. “so this year i chose to be happy. i just woke up.” — source

emo pioneer icons such as kid cudi and kanye west have addressed their struggles with anxiety, ptsd, and depression in the past: particularly on the game-changing emotional alb-m -ssisted and co-written by kid cudi 808’s & heartbreak.

cudi raps some concerning, worrisome, and depressing lines on on “don’t play this song”:
> reckless and young and my, my mom’s calling
think i should hit decline
i’m numb faced while i’m thinking ’bout suicide

kid cudi even had to check in for a brief stint at rehab in 2017, and same with kanye. cudi created a music video t-tled “mr. rager” featuring symbolism of cudi slowly k!lling off himself seemingly as a result of his own drug (ab)use. kid cudi’s have helped countless fans who struggle with similar substance abuse problems, depression, anxiety, addiction, suicidal thoughts and more. do we need to realize these are legitimate cries for help from these artists? even the braggadocios kanye west admitted his struggles with depression after the loss of his beloved mother, donda west.

as kanye rapped about struggling with donda’s death on “clique”:
“went through, deep depression when my mama p-ssed
suicide, what kinda talk is that?”

are these artist subtlety calling out for help from their fans? are these artists just releasing their inner demons on these tracks or is it deeper than that? atlanta r&b and trap rapper future has many songs and lyrics that concern his fans and make them wonder about the state of his mental health, including, to name a few: “codeine crazy”, “hardly”, “perkys calling”, “mask off” and “subst-tute everything”. dj booth posted an article t-tled “future’s drug addiction is k!lling him & we love it” which is sad but true, we seem to bask in his lack there of-pain however, it’s not something to joke about. future is profiting from his pain but it’s no laughing matter. future has expressed his deep emotional distress, prevalant drug use, and storytelling of his come up.
