May 19, 2018 Is he "underated" though? He actually had A LOT of hype when the Catch Me Outside video dropped he just didn't sustain it
May 19, 2018 Nobody wants to hear a rapper rap about nothing, it gets old fast especially when they're not bringing anything new to the table
May 19, 2018 It's more than that , his songs chart well he's appealing to the mainstream and I would of never ever ever guessed this in 2016 his name is off-putting enough
May 19, 2018 Travis Scott raps about Caesar salad seasoning and cactus stroking don't play yourself there's a deeper reason than rapping about nothing I guess ski needs a "ITS LIT!"
May 19, 2018 the reason for that is his fanbase. they will eat up literally anything he drops because he's successfully built an emotional bond with them, something ive have never seen another artist do and a name doesnt really matter. rappers name themselves all kinds of sht these days. but its the music that matters at the end of the day.
May 19, 2018 Bro.....he is most definitely not the first to have a dedicated fanbase, we'll use Travis again who always had a well knit loyal stanbase but he still needed antidote to blow to these levels that X is at Names do matter what the h--- lol rap is no different than any other business, if people can't spell your name they're less likely to search for you and if they can't pronounce it they're less likely to talk about you lmfao cmon
May 19, 2018 u dont understand, --- fanbase is different. its a stronger connection he has built with his fans. its not "well knit". its a f---ing cult lmao and because he built his fanbase like that from the beginning people are going to MAKE you blow up. he just knows how to control his fanbase. if he tells them to do something, his word is bond. as for the name thing, again because people were pushing the f--- outta him in 2016 and 2017 when he was locked up, his full name didnt matter because people just called him "X". and on top of that because of the connection he was building with people through the music, he made it so no body could forget his name. but lets not act like that after you learn how to say XXXTENTACION its not a catchy name
May 19, 2018 x bought playstations for a school of r-----s, meanwhile skimasks name implies he commits crimes good gosh going damnerica
