I liked him, he talked about stuff not many rappers had the balls to do. With great flow and beautiful imagery, I may add. What I would give to watch his sound evolve.

So many musicians of all sorts dying lately. Could have been lean with codein and promethazine. Former can cause seizure while later depress breathing. Also could have been xanax which also can cause depressed breathing and more rarely seizures. However he was trying to stop doing drugs so much so in theory it also could have been his body going into withdrawls from something. https://heavy.com/entertainment/2019/12/juice-wrld-lean-cough-syrup-drugs/ He on multiple songs suggested he's probably going to die from his drug use ![]() Modified by traed, Dec 8, 2019 5:55 PM |

Goes to show how toxic rap culture is. The music industry as a whole is bad enough but rap really takes it to the next level. Perhaps it's time to stop idolising crime, violence and drugs. Perhaps the chances of a rap artist making it past 22 would increase then. ![]() I can't feel comfortable using the MAL-forum anymore, as it is currently crawling with conspiracy theorists, sexists, racists, nazis, white supremacists and bigots of all kinds but especially the kind that hates jews and anyone LGBT (mostly trans and gay people). Forum mods aren't even making a token effort to crack down on the aforementioned, and as a result the forum is now wholly unwelcoming to minorities at best, and actively repulsive and/or threatening at worst. I'll be checking in regularly to see if things have changed, but for now that's it. |

I can think of K-Pop stars not being allowed to date unless its approved by their managers. Classical musicians hating their instrument but since that's their only source of income they keep doing it. I doubt this is a credible source but have you seen the movie, "A Star is Born"? You are right though, they glorify some bad shit like lean, violence, etc. That's something not to be fucked with but I see friends chugging that at parties cus they see Lil pump do it.

His songs referenced drugs on a personal note and made a negative point of them just not a overly preechy way. Though as that article i posted points out he started using lean because of a song by Future that glorified lean. Anyway it's not guaranteed drugs caused his death. For example he was at an airport. Maybe he had a long flight which caused a clot in his leg from sitting so long which travelled giving him a stroke. This is totally plausible.

@Railey2 Something like a feedback loop. It's difficult to reply from the jumping back and forth between the music industry, music subcultures, and art since for each there is a differet explaationn. Because it sounded so similar to complaints from people about rap music so it's easy to read it as being an out of place tactless comment taking a jab at the artist as if he is part of the problem you describe. I was trying to add perspective. @ohml Started with ganster rap as you know. I don't know how the current wave got kicked up since it seemed like it was moving away from that for a while. ![]() |

-InfiniteLoop- said: Skittles said: With the way he foreshadowed his own death, it feels like XXXTentacion all over again. Foreshadowed his death? Some of Juice's songs like "Lean Wit Me" implied he was battling lean/drug addiction and was in danger of dying from OD. His cause of death is still unconfirmed, but he went into a seizure despite being in high spirits, so there is a good possibility drugs may be involved. XXX released an Instagram video shortly before his death about wanting to leave a positive legacy after he dies. The timing might be coincidental, but his tone and the things he touch upon in the video give the feeling he was expecting his fate. ![]() |

Withdrawl from drugs that were reguarly used could have given him a seizure just the same as using drugs or meds. Though I am aware seizures alone leading to death are relatively rare.

I wasn't a big fan of his rap, but 21 is far too young. As far as the rap culture itself is concerned. There is a lot of rap, some of it very commercially successful, that does not revolve around "bitches doing cocaine", lean, shooting people, etc. Granted those topics are certainly over represented in rap(particularly 'mumble' rap), but there have always been artists that go against that culture through every decade, some more commercially successful than others. And others that aren't directly promoting such, but instead it's a commentary on the environment they grew up in or current societal problems. Then you have the artists that fall into the middle, where some songs glorify negative behavior while others don't. All in all, rap is much more diverse then it's often given credit for...even at the mainstream level. Obligatory Gucci Gang Remix ![]() Modified by Sleepy_Yoshi, Dec 10, 2019 6:17 AM |

Could were lean with codein and promethazine. Former can reason seizure while later depress respiratory.
