From all people in the world i don't understand why the youth gravitated to X so much. He has done horrible things even though i believe he actually was on a path of bettering himself

But there were many more artists who made the same type of music depressed teens could relate with that had much more of an positive vibe around them like Juice WRLD

He'd be top tier, rapping wise he was A1 i wasgettin sick of him singing over them acoustic guitar beats doe

Mac was a mainstream rap artist getting regular radio play how wasn't he bigger he was doing feats with mega established stars like the internet gives you a false inflation of one's popularity no cap.

in what way were they bigger? Nothing about streaming numbers or followers indicates that and they all peaked around different times. And if you were in hs/college around 2017~2018 you would've felt how big his impact was.

Unoriginal!

9th most streamed male artist on spotify two days ago with no releases in 2020 and people on here say he was insignificant

If you wanna be fair Juice was bigger then he was and had more hits so the youth did gravitate to him more as did everyone

nigga who tf is San Benito

outside of the net i wasn't seeing x like i was seeing mac and peep

i guess the newer gen has a different observation of popularity

Bad bunny

Michael Buble is in the top 5 this list doesnt represent the people at all

Fr tho its unreal how mainstream he was, one of the most unlikely stars of the millennium

Beefing with Drake was a smart move from him career wise

maybe😎

bad bunny

who the f*** is san benito ktt heads are normally on the ball with newer artists is he a plant or what?

Killer Bean has control of the youth

geetar

bruh Peep would be such a megastar rn, Post Malone big if not bigger if he was still here

Pop

Man why he had to leave us

can confirm. my cousin was like 14-15 and heavily f***ed with x

I mean yeah i probably could have picked a better alternative but still, even though they both had a cult following i feel like X was seen as some sort of messiah out here to save the youth. I'm just wondering why X of all people
