    Juice was really supposed to be the biggest rapper rn I believe it he was so talented and just his leaks are better than a lot of careers rn I hope he's smiling at heaven

    Juice freestyles better than any of his songs

    i really thought X would've survived somehow

    Losing X and Juice lowkey more impactful than PAC and Big dying.

    At least they still had Jay and then Em and DMX popped up. And Outkast and Lauryn Hill was still pushing things forward.

    X and Juice dying (and Peep to lesser extent) literally killed a whole new sound from developing

    Edit: in terms of pushing the culture forward. PAC and Big died and gangsta/bling bling rap still kept flourishing for another 5-7 years.

    X and Juice died and Uzi falling off literally killed the emo/rage/SoundCloud era

    Someone please ban OP after spouting this nonsense

    Maybe you just need to listen to more forms of hip-hop before creating this opinion. Rod Wave, Polo G, YB and Yak are very popular artists from the wave who are just as big as the artists you named they just aren’t going to get the same mainstream attention and you know why. There’s a certain sound and look that doesn’t get pushed in your face daily since 2015 but it doesn’t mean it is not as big as those artists. I bet Rod Wave and Polo G got the same numbers as Juice or X. Let the dead rest In peace and move on and appreciate what is here now

    Really don’t get the hype behind rod wave at all tbh

    Yb and Yak obviously hard

    And polo g is just okay

    facts, mainly x and juice and pop though. uzi and his entire gen (xxl freestyle) are a whole diff discussion about if they lived up to expectations or not.

    X was going to be a superstar

    He was a superstar before he died, he was dominating the charts.

    Bro PAC’s death impacted in the form of literally every black male artist from 1998-2003/4 being required to be hyper masculine and sexual in some overt way in order to be huge - and not just rap, I do mean every black male artist

    And even further, rappers like DMX/Ja/Em/50 are examples of PAC’s direct influence

    This sounds like a bad thing

    Uzi
    X
    Juice

    These 3 were gonna be the leaders musically, aesthetically, and culturally for they’re generation just like Drake Kendrick and Cole.

    X and Juice dying really f***ed up the game.

    And I feel like they’re lack of energy negatively affected Uzi’s artistry cuz he hasn’t touched LIR2 since.

    Lil Peep dying plays a part too, say what you want but that emo/rage SoundCloud era was different unique and spoke to a generation just like the blog era spoke to mine

    Current era we in has no direction, no narrative. Everyone just putting out projects and songs just cuz

    Carti lowkey the only one keeping things interesting.

    Culture would’ve been in such a fascinating space with X Uzi Juice Peep and Carti leading the way.

    Uzi went on a twitch interview and talked about being a a big fan of Juice, really gave him a lot of props for how big he would have been. I think what you're saying is true just because when X died he said that X was the only artist he truly viewed as competition. I think to an extent him and Carti have that dynamic but Carti just isn't as commercially driven. someone like Drake or Kendrick is fueled by being the best, and when no one is challenging you, it can leave a void in your head because once you are out of enemies / competitors the only one who can take you out is you making a mistake. I also think that the loss of X and to a lesser extent Juice has led Uzi to not dropping a ton of music and his long gaps between projects nowadays, he is under a lot of pressure and will be criticized heavily if he ever flops or puts out a bad album

    if it weren't for Pac, gangster rap as we know it wouldn't even exist, and honestly the world would probably be better for it
