I fuck with Juice heavy, but X fans went looking for another X when he passed... Whether you wanna deny it or not Juice got boosted when X passed because thats who they found similarity to.. That's why I went to Juice tbh.

I love hearing ppl talk about X’s legacy and try to figure out and pinpoint how he made such an incredible impact in just a few years and the evolution of change we witnessed in him. I feel that what really sets him apart from any other artist is that there was an other worldly quality to him. Beyond his music, yet in his music. His knowledge when he would speak about things on a spiritual level and different realms, almost like he was an old soul who had been here many lives before. It’s more of a feeling and not something I can put into words, but there was just something different about him that set him apart from any and everyone else. If he was alive today I feel that his impact would have reached far beyond music LLJ FOREVER 🕊️

Juice Wrld was a great artist a lot of pain & emotion went into his music he was a great freestyle artist every line he said went with the previous line not to much filler like most rap artist , He could construct & deliver a verse better than everyone in his class including × (just being honest ) he stayed mostly in the genre of Rap with a little pop.

X & Juice both goated. While being in a somewhat similar lane musically, they're hard to compare because they both have their own unique strengths while having a few similar strengths. They're both incredibly versatile and had great voices that were easy to identify. X took his time, was genre blending and was incredibly deep. Juice, obviously could freestyle like he could breathe, was also genre blending, was pretty introspective and deep, maybe not to the extent of X. He was kind of a pop star(not a bad thing), because he had a clear talent for catchy melodys. Wish they were both here, they'd be on top running the industry 😭

He was studying frequencies and was constantly placing frequencies in his music to give off the energy he wanted you to feel. X was constantly experimenting with everything he did, he didn’t wanna be just a rapper he was an artist. He made vastly different songs with vastly different genres as well. Juice doesn’t have anywhere close to the artistry that X did. Juice stayed in his lane and ran it but X blew up his lane and wasn’t stuck there.

@@Osei_Bean_8ryant writing is a big part of artistry. Pen to paper, thoughts down is artistry. Not freestyling whatever words are coming to your mind. X was an artist. Juice was a rapper. If you don’t know the difference between the 2 in this context then there’s not much I can do for ya lol Like saying Kanye aint the greatest rapper in terms of ability but he’s arguably the greatest artist of our generation. There’s lots of rappers who can put rap Kanye. They not on his level though and that’s because as an artist in general kanye is a powerhouse. X was a powerhouse as well. I love juice but saying he’s better than someone like X who was constant trying to evolve his music and constantly tryna stray away from the norm and still blowing up to that extent is crazy. He studied frequencies and would put them into his songs to alter your mind. X was making strides in genre merging, juice was no where near as versatile which would also go towards artistry points for X. The only thing you’ve said is juice did the same thing over and over again and perfected it. X didn’t want that, he didn’t wanna be tied to 1 sound or 1 genre. X also inspired and had influence in the rap game which juice does not have the same of. Juice said x influenced him, tons of artist tried imitating X after he died and none of it worked which is why all of his fans gravitated towards juice to fill the hole. X was king of SoundCloud and because he set himself apart with the 808s and distortion as his unique sound many others tried to replicate it. Juice never had anything like that to try and replicate. Juice stayed in his lane and did his thing. Great rapper but not the greater Artist.

Juice Wrld didn't need to rely on beefs and misunderstandings to keep relevent or to grow... that itself says a lot!

[@jamessavage5275]

True but you can also made the argument he benefited from jah death also. After x passed, fans were laching onto juice to be bro replacement. Even that tribute song to peep and x gave him even more exposure

God rest both of their souls, but I think XXXTentacion would've wound up maybe like a Trippie Redd or Uzi. Like, he'd have a fan base and he'd show up to the festivals, but I don't think his fame and sales would've been that crazy. JuiceWrld already had a big hit (bigger than any hit XXXTentacion had) and he was already collaborating with pop artists. Between the Drake beef and the domestic violence allegations, X's ceiling was pretty low.

[@limbosfinest]

Same. These guys have no idea how high & wide Drake's ceiling is to be saying X would overtake it. X prolly would've been doing some time in jail rn off witness tampering charges if he was still alive. Juice was a phenomenon even while living. I remember how well robbery connected when it first dropped. He was just as versatile.

[@iseeangels937]

Comparing X to Trippie is crazy. Trippie has nothing on the impact of X, not a single touch.

[@iseeangels937]

@@limbosfinest X first blew up while in jail. X being in jail would've probably helped him if anything. Then when he got out, it would've been his resurrection all over again. Jail was not gonna stop X, drake was not gonna stop X even. Only thing that could've stopped X was god, and that's what happened I guess

[@THESMOKERSHUT]

If X was still here the music industry would be completely different and tbh his style of music would’ve made artists like Drake sound like complete cornballs. Not cuz Drake is worst or anything but it’s just a drastically different sound which when compared side by side Drake would sound soft and simple. Also tho there’s an argument that X’s antics contributed to the beef and his success too. It’s hard to tell which reason was the main one for the young man’s success but in his short time he created waves through the industry.

Listen x is the reason why I started rapping seriously . Juice wouldnt have been a reason for me to rap seriously. When juice died I didn't cry but when x did that shit fucked with me a little since I connected to him so well. X is also the reason why sad depressing music got a wave and I think that all girls are the same would've been as big as it was if it wasn't for x. And if x was alive I think juice would've been smaller

[@absolutezer0791]

But I do agree juice would've existed . I just don't think juice's initial image when he came out would've been as much of a shake up as it was without x. But with the ( no uzi= no juice ) it makes sense. But I still think x paved the way of that depression type music and furthered it
