Law 28: How XXXTentacion Stole The Hip-Hop Throne

[@DazeOfDom]

Jah knew where the music industry was going . Which was why he started switching up his genre and be versatile

[@globalpotaoto6681]

In fairness I was listening to jah since 2016 and he always had that versatility

[@DazeOfDom]

@@globalpotaoto6681 no doubt , which is why I believe he came into the game knowing exactly that🤘

[@africangamer824]

X ain’t drop 17 bcz “the music industry was going somewhere” that nigga just went through the worst years of his life and decided to take a different approach to life & his music

[@angelnegrete4163]

More like he tried to be more positive because he saw where the industry was leading. He said we are in a Spiritual war. Still are. So they got rid of him so they can’t have him help the youth out❗️ so they continue to have their most successful industry plant (Drake) to lead everyone with distructiob aka distractions. Why you never really see drake making kids do right like giving out to the homeless ect. He does the opposite!!

[@igotthemunchies7292]

X and Juice woulda been top tier artists if they wer still alive

[@lylesrevenge]

Man seeing those IG lives it was peak SoundCloud era banter, lol it never even felt like an era going thru it but looking back fills me with nostalgia

[@craigsteward1166]

We will never have another rapper like X, love him or hate him you can’t deny his impact on not just rap but the next generation of artists as a whole. I also think he’s one of if not the only rapper to use the mysterious aura and not be annoying while doing it If he ever got your attention he’s already won, whether you love him or hate him he refused to be ignored and forgotten

[@godsfatheramen]

Stop it

[@YANNI_777]

Facts

[@craigsteward1166]

@pasonjayne4635 How come when he was free and on house arrest he only had a few posts on Instagram if not just one? And when he went to the BET awards in 2017 he wore mask, this was way before the mysterious rapper persona was even a thing or at the very least it was nowhere near as common as it is now

[@zuludkawso]

Relax kid Xxxtencion was just your generations Tupac...but Pac was the original....do ya research

[@jaychulo.F]

@@craigsteward1166he wore that mask 1 time in the bet awards he was in the ugly era in 2017-2018when he cut his eyebrows off and had his hair gray he was transitioning but even then he was still doing instagram lives he was never mysterious

[@youngtucci98]

This Laws of Power Series is one of my favourite Series on KZbin 🏆🏆🏆

[@lucidmind9676]

What made me a fan of X wasn’t his music, I actually didn’t like Look at Me when I first heard it, it was his No Jumper interview that made me actually check him out because bro was so young, younger than me but was so good at articulating himself and saying putting how I felt at the time into words. I became a fan of his in late 2016 and was proud to see how far he had gotten when “?” Hit number one on billboard and used to watch his lives and blogs religiously. ATP, it’s not even the music that I miss or that hurt me the most when he passed, it’s the live streams and motivational videos I miss the most and what hurt me the most about his death and still bother me til this day is the fact that A) he spent most of his life wanting to die but when he finally found happiness and a reason to want to live, his life was stolen from him and B) he never got the chance to experience fatherhood and never got the chance to even see/hold his child, that’s what hurt me the most about his death

[@lil-soda-boi]

Goated series... X's strength really was his duality

[@brandonp2211]

Music hasn't been the same since he passed.

[@lilsaysothe1st]

Crazy how Drake copied X and kendrick shouted him out. Kendrick been knowing Drake a culture vulture.

[@fazormcghee7936]

I was in your comments a long time ago, telling you to get back on this laws of power series and im glad you finally did

[@shatteredmindd]

I’m a fan page for X & I truly loved this detailed video. Well done man.

[@TinePizza]

The streets needed this one 🔥🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@lucidmind9676]

The main reason I fw X is because he always spoke how he felt no matter the consequences, like you said he was bold and sadly that same boldness that got him to where he was is exactly the same thing that led to his death

[@safetybelt1356]

Been lookin for an episode for X he was really into the laws of the universe all that really lookin forward to this one!!

[@mider-spanman5577]

Man you are doing it with these videos nowadays and you have come such a long way from when I first started watching you! You're more grounded and you make really great presentations! Comparing XXXTENTACION with a historical figure was the icing on the cake for me. He really was the black sheep of the industry and I believe they had to get rid of him because he would have taken over.

[@t_chandy]

IMO X, Juice & Pop were on track to be the next big 3 of hip hop. RIP to the Legends

[@tbj4855]

Nah they were too niche with that emo rap. As you see it fell off and isn’t even talked about anymore

[@lordsafro]

@@tbj4855maybe Juice & Pop Smoke, but X’s best trait musically was versatility

I like the set up of this video You wrote a post earlier about this topic and dropped a video that goes well with it Keep going man 😊

[@ExamplesOfMyExistence]

another great video dawg, boldness used with caution and a plan can yield great results. Blessings man keep it up

[@gserco1806]

I be real Drake bit X’s flow. However, they’re beef wasn’t even that deep fr to go that far. Even now Drake still sneak dissing it’s so corny. It shows X’s energy in the industry was intimidating to the so called “Big Dogs”. Also, Offset back then had Drake’s missile meat in his throat with no hands. It’s wild to me😂

[@OtakuSupreme]

Hell yeah bruh another quality video 💯💪🏾

[@bangaamen501]

I miss Jah great video bro 🔥

[@fazormcghee7936]

I love x but don't call him jah. Jah is a jamaican word used as the name of God. His name is Jahseh. Fun fact tho, the word "Jah" is the name of God in Jamaica and "seh" is a jamaican word that means "say". So his name Jahseh can be translated to "God says" or "God speaks"

[@stylesthagreat7640]

We miss you Jah💯

[@Lusty4k]

10:35 he was right about everything and more than 5 years later no one can see it still, just crazy

[@AK4Z.]

Thanks for this!

[@tasenova2717]

XXXtentacion has a documentary out now in 2022 and his psychiatric study was possibly on the lines of borderline personality disorder. He was trying to redeem himself, but you hear him say this and the dude had different things going on: "I told her I want you to cut in my arm the world alone so when you feel alone, so you think of me and you know someone feels the exact same" It's always interesting to see these, but I say it now, that method of his is almost his natural temptation.

[@Pejaysaidit]

This is so accurate, because Tupac also falls into this law and suffered the same fate, and to a degree so does it apply to Nipsey. This crazy wow!

[@OfSoundShades]

I think Nip situation was more so unfortunate. Him questioning dude about paper work wasn’t as much of a bold move as much as it was inquisitive. It’s not like Nip went into rival territory looking for smoke or anything, he was right in front of his store. Tupac on the other hand, this law definitely applies to him as well

[@jacknapier6668]

X would've took drake's throne if he was still alive today. That's why the whole thing today feels so wrong with the stagnation of the industry today and lack of creativity. That soundcloud era was the wave like Juice all them dudes but the 2 most important forces of the genre got taken. Felt like the rap industry and the fans and the world we just got robbed, X was the talent he was the GOAT and he was just getting started then some dumb, greedy, pathetic scum had to go and try to rob and shoot him. And Juice had the flavor he had the sauce and it was unfortunate because I think he was hanging around the wrong people primarily his girl Ally Lotti was running drugs and was a bad influence on Juice. And you can see how awful she is she tried to sell a sextape with her deceased boyfriend in it. It's just wrong, she's just an awful person but somehow juice loved that girl and she has the nerve to disrespect him while he was alive and even while he is in the grave. Drake had his time, Kendrick had his time, J cole had his time. But they are just old they were good for their time but we gotta let them go at some point. The rap industry needs to move on. Not to Mention Mac Miller. Pretty much all the rappers I liked listening to are gone or passed on and I rarely actually find any real rap talent left with lyrical ability that isn't all mumble jumble.

Let them go hell no ain’t age limit in hip hop 😂😂 j Cole Kendrick could go for 10 more years lol
