XXXTENTACION - 17 FIRST REACTION/REVIEW (JUNGLE BEATS)

[@JungleBeatsRadio]

RIP XXXTENTACION. While we have publicly disagreed with many of his life decisions, no one in their right mind would wish what happened upon him. There's no doubt this man has helped countless people through their pain and suffering. Through reviewing nearly all of his music, we got to see a window into that world. It was clear X had a powerful unique musical talent for his age. It's sad to see him go so early in his life. [From Instagram: instagram.com/p/BkL9qSXFY55/]

Jungle Beats 💔💔

[@timm2002]

Almost a year since his passing. Still cant believe hes gone man.

[@spvceghxstpvrpp3171]

"When I turned 13, I blew out my candles, my wish was to be dead at the age of 18." - XXXTENTACION, 12/10/16 I think that's why he named the album 17, he wanted that to be his last year living. Concerning the repeating all throughout the album; Xxxtentacion expressed in "Everyone dies in their nightmares" that he's trapped inside his mind or he can't escape certain thoughts. So these thoughts constantly repeat/rewind in his head over and over. That helps to explain the repetitive nature of the album.

[@JungleBeatsRadio]

Thanks for explaining that.

[@AnthonyMiravich]

souljahmed no on the album cover it says "my sanity left me when I was 17, my heart broke beyond repair when I was 17, I realized the pain is and always will be a cycle when I was 17"

[@LucianStar7]

souljahmed i want to die at the age 16

[@kontakt642]

Oh man...I have no words.... *R.I.P.*

[@candicehere3641]

Quality and he died on the 18th 2018..👀

[@oasis6137]

I like your idea that the short songs are like thoughts and notes, I never thought of it that way

[@JungleBeatsRadio]

Thank you : ) Just came to mind whilst divulged into the music - A. Mann

[@p.w.2893]

Afrogum just read this comment when the mentioned it in the video

[@dawg3865]

And its teasing. It makes people want more and they go listen to his other music

[@JungleBeatsRadio]

We knew XXXTENTACION had the capabilities of making more melancholic, atmospheric self reflective music which we have previously enjoyed and yearned for. Now he delivers. It’s still very early in this album’s release, but we both thoroughly enjoyed this body of work. While many critique 17 for being too simplistic, ‘not fleshed out’ enough and lacking creativity, we generally agree with that. However we believe 17 was never suppose to be any of those thing’s, and it is in fact, doing exactly what it was set out to do. 17 is simply a collection of thoughts and experiences transparently turned from written word and one’s thoughts, into sonics. Yes, you can say that about pretty much all music. However, typically music is then polished with creativity, complexity and substance. 17 is not. It’s bare bone and raw. It’s naked. It’s not stereotypically pretty, even though the lacy piano’s and basic guitar riffs make for a pleasurable auditory experience. 17 is honest and vulnerable and seems like it’s doing exactly what it intended to do. There aren’t any filler tracks and the album doesn’t overstay it’s welcome…instead it actually leaves you wanting more. While this may be a grandiose statement to our youthful ears, XXTENTACION is showcasing why he’s in the conversation of one of the most diverse and prolific artists in any genre within music under 25. There’s very few who have the talent to tap into this many genres while creating a cult like fan base.

[@kindabutnotreally1119]

[@JungleBeatsRadio]

Part 3 is coming soon. Just wanted to get this out first. But appreciate the love.

[@keegansway9929]

Heres him in a studio singing dead inside: instagram.com/p/BWTg0nPBlhD/?taken-by=keegansway

[@pg13pacernation30]

about time was waiting for this reaction to happen for a long time. You guys are a beast and this album is masterpiece for sure 10/10

[@davidsant433]

*KENDRICK FUCKING LAMAR* just shouted X's album out. Wtf is happening lol. That is a *major* look

[@JungleBeatsRadio]

So glad he did! Will shut down a lot of the haters.

[@undun6605]

yAs

[@alyanadestiny692]

X is probably the most genuine and kind artist I've listened to in a very long time, even at his concerts he cares about each and every fan which is so rare to find in modern artists nowadays. Much respect to him

[@lilyeet7498]

x stopped doing drugs early 2017 btw

[@KENWALD]

his friend killed herself in his hotel room. her name was jocelyn flores. this album is dedicated to her

[@catcat2443]

Swagfag 69 it’s not dedicated to specifically but it’s is so people who are depressed and have anxiety and for himself it’s a beautiful album

[@MrNotCreatlve]

*in bed* "Lemme check KZbin one last time" *Sees this video* I JUST WANT TO SLEEP

[@lefyri6715]

To be honest,I came in with X's hard shit and all that screamo bass boosted trap stuf and when this hit i didn't expect much just another adrenaline shot,then i heard the first track and fell in love,I generally enjoy lofi hiphop and melanchonic stuff and this record made me real comfy with all those great beats and the beautiful lyrics

[@MarkkosGuns]

BRUH I WAS WAITING FOR THIS 🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@maciejocicki2492]

same

[@pg13pacernation30]

about time was waiting for this reaction to happen for a long time. You guys are a beast

[@kieferhansen5424]

For sure x's best work, I dont like x at all but this album had thought and feeling into that and I respect that. Such a breath of fresh air.

[@pg13pacernation30]

This album is a masterpiece for sure 10/10 but too bad so many people judge him and don't even listen to the album and talk shit lol

[@prodbymai]

love you guys

[@JungleBeatsRadio]

Love right back : )

[@windboyx]

It's 1 AM god damn it. I gotta go to work tomorrow.

[@JungleBeatsRadio]

We apologize in advance for your tiredness in the morning.

[@abnerfuentes670]

X doesnt use drugs.... he's in probation. He's said this so many times

[@drakeanarion1016]

Abner Fuentes I would like this comment but it’s at 17

[@valentinosantillan4171]

x is talented and this album is fucking good, feelings man, btw good video guys keep it up!

[@JungleBeatsRadio]

Thanks for the kind words! We hope to keep it up : )

[@Nepentheeemusic]

This album really, really surprised me, really solid album. Also get onto Saturation 2, even better than the first one!!

[@JungleBeatsRadio]

Coming soon ; )

[@juice_stain3504]

Rest in paradise Jocelyn Flores, Jahseh Dwayne Ricardo Onfroy, and khaeh

[@weedaily1334]

Damn I like how deeply you thought and discussed

[@runman4604]

Loved your reactions, made me realize the feelings I had when I first heard the album myself. I love him so much

[@EliMfGen]

Depression & Obsession: Being Depressed & being in love w a woman leads to emotional torture when the relationship turns toxic. The depressed one will start to hate the person he's w but refuse to let go bc that woman is in a sense a "drug" that helps that depression. A "drug" that person hates but is obsessed with. "I hate her. It's hard to love how I feel my stomach turning."

[@unknown-hg6dr]

X is making short songs bc well lemme give u an example. It's like ice cream if you have too much ice cream you wont want ice cream anymore but if you eat barely any ice cream you want wayyy more

[@Kidwhix]

still waitin on exmilitary

[@Kidwhix]

also if you ever get to reviewing government plates, watch all the music videos for each song, makes the experience way better

[@tyfire5397]

X is a great artist and I love how he discovers different genres with music 👏 great reaction

[@leannn994]

I listen to this album at least 10x and I could say that this album is up there with DAMN

[@WieruX]

Rip x, good video. Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱

[@dandragon6142]

People who say his album is bad really need to back off. Remember "explanation" and if you dont care or can't relate then fuck off. Stop saying it's poorly produced because it's his thoughts and his idea to put it out there, so acknowledge the fact he's putting this up in order to help those whom need it.

[@JungleBeatsRadio]

Exactly, it's just become cool to hate on this album. So much passion & pain is through this thing. - A. Mann

[@mandospiegel8994]

So if I took all of that into consideration, I should just like it? Taking everything you said into consideration and more, I still don't like this album. Some people ACTUALLY have reasons to either hate or don't like this album, and they're not all sheep.

[@cydar]

X is gonna be one of the best of our era

[@Hiyumpa]

d9rcy nah he's good but not one of the best

[@cydar]

+Thicc Crompton Ik right now he isn't but he has the potential I think

[@clark503]

d9rcy No he definitely will not be. This album wasn't bad but wasn't well made. Just a bunch of ideas thrown in. Sloppily done.

[@JungleBeatsRadio]

That was the point.

[@pitosequito]

Denzel is better. This album wasn't that good, it was generic depressed piano with a beat. I like where he's going and he has potential but he needs to try something else with his production. He will be one of the great rappers of the future, but i don't think he'll be the best

[@playboicarti0000x]

This setup for reactions is too crazy 😮‍💨 them speakers too nice

[@grim7773]

he's been sober for almost 9 months, since he's been in jail and still now because he's still on probation

[@AshFlexum]

They're back

[@AshFlexum]

Also react to more of the popular songs

[@marcanthony3626]

You guys should definitely react to more of his music ! You guys are amazing 💯👌

[@tyrell6701]

This is the best album of the year for sure imo, simply because of the message and the impact it had on ppl including me. It felt like he spoke to me and helped me get through a tough time. Much love to X and u guys🙌

[@pg13pacernation30]

about time was waiting for this reaction to happen for a long time. You guys are a beast and this album is masterpiece for sure 10/10

[@aquila2207]

Jocelyn Flores is sampled from Potsu's 'Im Closing My Eyes.' He just put bars over it.

[@ilovecody7514]

It was a pretty solid album. I just wish it was a bit more fleshed out.

[@JungleBeatsRadio]

Ayyy what's good Swami!

[@ilovecody7514]

Jungle Beats Lol, what up!!! I've been pretty busy lately just starting college and crap, but I had to tune in again for these reactions. I'm definately watching the SATURATION II review later that's my album of the year right now with SATURATION right behind. BROCKHAMPTON just keeps getting better. Can't wait for SATURATION III!!!!

[@timbee4149]

Fuck yes you guys are so lit

[@thespeedsters7058]

It’s past a year since he’s past away...I can’t stop listening to him...I don’t want to stop listening but sometimes when I’m listening to his I forget he passed away. When I come to reality and realize he’s not here and not making songs anymore, I fall down in spiral.

[@suncrainer7406]

this is one of the best reactions ive seen

[@TheAnimeYoungin]

Best Review I've seen, i like how much our thoughts have in common, subbed

[@JungleBeatsRadio]

Thanks for the love, welcome to the JB family!

[@Justanadmin]

His album is under the EMPIRE label, which is an independent record company.

[@justinuchiha5276]

I hope x watches this video because this is a great review

[@lazosantoniou4885]

most hyped for this than everything

[@grilledchicken2774]

"Shoutout to Jocelyn"

[@JungleBeatsRadio]

She's a close friend of mine, different Jocelyn. - A. Mann

[@forzxken4364]

I liked this as soon as I saw the vid come out!!!!❤❤❤

[@hippieman1996]

Great video! You guys dove into this album deeper than most I've seen on YT, which is fitting for how deep the album dives into your thoughts and emotions. Definitely earned a sub, keep up the great work ✌

[@JungleBeatsRadio]

+Dylan Rose thanks Dylan appreciate you

[@kultursarok]

I enjoyed this album too, but from this weeks releases Sat 2 is by far my favourite, and definetly an album of the year contender, please do us a favour and react on it, you won't regret it!!!

[@allonsy3695]

You notice how front of album was acoustic and end was piano. Last track was both. That was great and a nice way to tie it up. It's all so cohesive and sounds almost like one piece. This album is so punk rock!

[@zachwilliamson13]

I love this album so much

[@YungMayhem95]

BRILLIANT REACTION

[@memejunkie4744]

This is his soft side we wanted you to see but we also need you to see the savage

[@JungleBeatsRadio]

Pt.3 almost here.

[@ILuvMusikz25]

🖤

[@JungleBeatsRadio]

❤️

[@MISPLACED96]

I'm really sad a lot of people didn't understand or even care to understand the intent of this album. I thoroughly loved it.

[@nFClanz]

This channel works hard af

[@JungleBeatsRadio]

Thanks homie, yes we do!

[@jessicarauch6063]

In members only vol 4 theres a song called touch eem body. Xs flow is literally amazing

[@AeroSlaya]

The album is ALSO on Spotify

[@fpsSYRIA]

I'm in that 'love anything that Kanye does' cult.

[@joeray661]

When I was goin thru shit. Kid Cudi helped me. Mac Miller helped me. I know it's cliche but same here.. and x follows on that list. The first time watching this reaction and I'm really glad I did. Thanks guys.

[@spvceghxstpvrpp3171]

Album of the year

[@coasterconsumer2722]

for depression and obsession, he's saying he's depressed and relies on certain things, specifically girls, to numb his depression, and when that something that he "obsesses" over leaves, the depression gets worse, therefore meaning depression and obsession doesn't mix well

[@arvoresdeoutono7791]

Great fucking reation man's

[@JungleBeatsRadio]

Thank you ❤️

[@nivitoo]

Just subscribed to you guys ! Channel looks clean af. I only knew you from your beats back then...

[@tails1960]

You should really check out trippie redd's album called a love letter to you, also great video as always

[@p.w.2893]

You guys are awesome! You're not like the other reaction idiots. You mention intellectual thoughts , analyse his personality, his music.. I like that

[@NnjaKd]

earned a sub have a great day guys

[@mrdmt974]

Nice job, you guys had a similar reaction to me, but yeah nice way to think about the short runtime of it. also recon you boys will listen to saturation II?

[@JungleBeatsRadio]

On the way it is, thanks for the love!

[@jonathang6543]

He did had singles. And he mentioned like two months earlier he was releasing it.

[@itzaaron9636]

My favourite album 2k17

[@pradabears]

Joji and X Collab

[@mandospiegel8994]

Not close at all.

[@bwzboddah5219]

Are you going to happen to make a reaction on Freudian by Daniel Caesar that dropped this previous Friday?

[@JungleBeatsRadio]

Probably not as we have a lot we want to get to but it's added to the list. - A. Mann

[@carljohnson5292]

X went to singing school when he was younger

[@JungleBeatsRadio]

Source?

[@carljohnson5292]

Jungle Beats It was some interview I think, I've seen 3 of them and it's been quite a while now. I also think that it was mentioned in a "before they were famous" video.

[@fairy5100]

YEESSSS

[@KadenJ]

You guys know Action Bronson Dropped the Blue Chips 7000 mix tape right? I feel like no one is giving it any attention

[@JungleBeatsRadio]

Hard for it to gain attention with so much dropping, AB's hype has died way down now, especially with his lackluster debut he dropped 2 years ago. - A. Mann

[@wanna-be9970]

the Lucio guy really got hit hard from this album

[@FRANCO-cm7ol]

aye!!!!

[@ratdior]

Bro your boots are always on point! brand?

Thanks, type in Chelsea Boots in google and you'll find plenty of options.

[@jeremydiesel7805]

[@far3621]

YOU PICKED THE WRONG HOUSE FOOL!!!

[@reubenbf]

you guys need to listen to Tightrope, sounds like some Radiohead stuff

[@Trezlez]

You're getting better at deconstructing what you're listening to and commentating on it

[@JungleBeatsRadio]

Thank you, every video we do we always look into how we can improve what we do, glad you can see some growth! - A. Mann

[@JungleBeatsRadio]

As someone whose seen many videos I'm curious what makes you say that? - Alexander Sandalis

[@Axelrator123]

Would be amazing if you did a reaction to Lil Uzi Verts new album Luv is Rage 2. By the way love you guys :D

[@draviiii]

Melon gave it a 2. It's atleast a 6. You guys have great taste w

[@p.w.2893]

So you did xxxtentacion... I think it's time that you analyse and react to one of his biggest inspirations the guy is called Shihlo Dynasty

[@yungslimebeatz]

He said he didnt wanna be called a rapper and says hes an artist and does all genres. So keep saying hes looking for his sound when hes not. He does all sounds.

[@molassesdeathbed5531]

PLEASE REVIEW SATURATION 2!

[@JungleBeatsRadio]

Just gotta edit it :)

[@molassesdeathbed5531]

Jungle Beats Dooooope. Love your videos by the way!

[@youngsasuke4050]

17 means when he was 17 he didnt wanted to not live anymore

[@mranklebreaker1210]

When this review is longer than the album

[@chiopniz2992]

Try " Shahmen " Please, he is really interesting.

[@Beatelephant]

Hope, you guys don`t mind too much if I reommend my music. Trumpet & Beats. Everything selfmade. Miles Davis inspired. You`re welcome on my channel. Looking forward, Ingo Gabriel

[@DaRagingSandwich]

Can you guys look at Saturation 2?

[@JungleBeatsRadio]

Yep!

[@crestcomplete]

You can tell in the first couple of minutes that they didn't do any research about the album

[@JungleBeatsRadio]

Nah we coming in fresh.

[@Notsonorm]

Nice blue snowball

[@persona3440]

He used beats from potsu n nohidea

[@hotstankygarbage788]

You know, I'm thinking you guys probably won't, but will you ever do a listening of Lil Pump? (Our modern Tupac, jk)😁

[@JungleBeatsRadio]

Honestly, at this stage, probably not, we have so much to get to, yet I always write down everything people suggest so never count it out. - A. Mann

[@swipeduk]

*'Our modern Tupac' the door is that way 👉🏽🚪*

[@JungleBeatsRadio]

I can see the appeal in that xD
