After we lost Peep, X, and Juice we basically lost the godfathers of emo rap. But the thing is the emo rap genre has a lot of pain and addiction in it, it is by definition emotional music. And I believe the genre just by its nature be very volatile. But it saved my life tho real shit.
@@httk8869he is, trippie have emo albums. he worked with X and made fcuk love which is one of the most famous emo songs. he also worked with juice wrld, like alot. Trippie was smart enough to switch genres because he knew the downfall.
thats what I am saying this guy said ''they were not friends like that'' juice literally said he discovered laroi and wanted to take him under his wing. Laroi was making music all the way back when he was a kid way before he signed to a record label
@@Luke.DesLauriersthe problem is that once juice died his record label pushed the juice look and vibe way heavier than before making larois music uninspired and boring af
Juice even gifted Laroi a feature for his birthday, so people saying that his label put him on too many tracks doesn't even hold weight, because Juice himself put Laroi on a track together.
Laroi and juice actually were friends like that, juice took him under his wing when he first went to Australia for a tour and laroi opened for him. LAROI was literally on the plane with juice and saw him die man
it seems like with most rap genres it only dies when artist die or go to jail and thats the real sad part most artist never had the chance to evolve and fully bloom
@@sawave1630??? Literally juice had over 150k sales first week on his second album when he was alive. SAD and Look at me, as well as his album, ?, did crazy numbers by X, way before he passed. How is that only making it after they die?
@@AnimeALX nah but juice was mainstream way before he died. Lucid dreams went number 2, robbery was big, he was selling out concerts on his DRFL tour and was doing festivals all during 2019, while he was alive. If that’s not mainstream success, then what is? Not saying his death didn’t elevate him to the next level, so to speak, but he was already doing numbers before he died.
I feel like people who liked xxtentaction, lil tracy, juice wrld and lil peep still listen to them and they just love their music of course, (Or anyone from that time and before.) But also because it was back then. When emo rap was at it's finest.
I was the biggest juice and X fan back in 2017-2021 Xs label destroyed his legacy with Bad Vibes Forever and then Juices label started out perfectly but like got corrupted or something and just ruined his legacy too. I love them both with my whole heart but I cant bring myself to listen to them anymore. I dont even really know why bc I love their music still. I just stopped listening. RIP to them both.
@@nunu_7887 yeah RIP peep. I was never huge into him but he was dope and deserved the best. I feel like peep fans stayed peep fans bc his mom eventually got ahold of his music and is now able to do what the fans want. But like the labels have the rights to all of juices and Xs shit yk?
yeahhhhhhhhhh lil bibby defiently done messed juice wrlds legacy and same with x the weird part has been how many artists that those people didn't fuck with while alive have gotten features from them after they died @@nitl3gxnd268
the newer wave isn’t talked about like i feel it should. $uicideboy$, Ghostemane, City Morgue, Zillakami, Night Lovell. All new wave artists that are genuinely good and not talked about maybe because of a “tiktok” song but i feel it should be brought up
I was bout to mention $uicideboy$ and ghostmane but I don’t think their a new wave cause they was around with peep . They underground ogs in the game atp
@@hysterical_melancholy I know that, they’re still kinda continuing the wave and haven’t fell off yet and we’ve yet to see someone prepare to take their place, so what’s next for them?
@@v1llianous idk I feel like they have their own cult fanbase that will always like them but if they wanna maintain relevancy they gotta start doing more cross genre collabs.. the scene is just too small for them at this point so i think they need to channel their post Malone energy and start working with some bigger rock/pop/rap/country artists to get a second wind … but i know their fanbase probably wont like that
Juices death did hit the hardest for me, we lost peep and x but we still had juice and it seemed like he would become one of the greatest in the industry, he was extremely talented but sadly things ended up the way they did, also the circumstances of his death, it was all weird, it felt like a weird nightmare for me, just something unreal and shocking
i personally don’t get the kid laroi hate, it’s quite clear he was just more of a singer than a rapper and he was in the rap scene for a bit but over time his ‘rapping’ wasn’t that good so he decided to just go into pop because even if it’s maybe not what he wanted to do that’s what suited his skill set more. He still makes the occasional rap song like his last album he had a few and there was burning up with nardo wick which i did like but it doesn’t mean people should hate on him just cus he suits another genre more
@@morbidzombii again it’s not his fault tho, if ur an up and coming artist you’ll take a feature of one of the most streamed rappers ever. I know ur not saying otherwise but some juice fans confused tf outa me, im one of those juice fans who’s obsessed with his official music and anything new he drops but i won’t go into things to do with ally lotti or leaks or shit like that cus that’s where all the negativity is and if u stay away from that the idea of juice’s legacy is much better
@@lunaastro6226 well mate go listen to any of his songs of the last 2/3 years on shuffle, there’s only like 3/4 songs in that time that can be considered rap the rest is pop. I know he was a rapper first i was there when diva blew up but he’s not gonna be rated crazy high in a rap fans eyes since emo rap has seen a fall off in recent years but in pop he can really become the next JB, can always dabble in the occasional rap ofcourse like jb has aswell but if he releases a rap album it’ll do alot worse than his pop
Juice wrld changed my life im going through a similar situation as him, his music just hits especially Lost in a dark place and deprived. I wish someone close to him would have really listened to his lyrics he was gone too soon. Ive never heard of a better freestyle rapper almost all his songs were freestyled. He became what he never wanted to a legend, but legends never die 999 forever.
Great video but i feel like the emo rap scene isnt dead, it's just the mainstream side of it. There's still artists like IVOXYGEN , lil tracy, even guys like zillakami that are still uploading and pushing the emo rap sound, and there's still a lot of peoples of fuck with that, even if its more underground
When people talk about something being dead, they mean from a mainstream/pop culture standpoint. Everything is alive in its underground niche, but mainstream appeal is what makes it feel alive in a wider sense
@@Daily.fun. i can see you have a learning disability or something cuz u read it wrong but ill clarify, 2 of the greatest implies there are more great people than just these 2. Hating ass bitch!
Juice and Laroi didnt know each other that well? yea that´s why Laroi made already 2 tribute songs to Juice, has couple of songs with him (unreleased) went on tour with Juice and I can keep going.. Laroi is one of the best young artists today and if he is or isnt industry plant who cares?
I have an xxxtentacion tattoo right on ma wrist and juicewrld has been my most listened to artist 5 yrs in a row. Regardless of genre, theyre extremely talented, especially juice I still listen to them because they made good music, i can relate to so much of what they said, and its rare for guys to talk about their feelings and thats all those two do. It helps so many guys out here that are made to feel like we cant talk about our struggles and our feelings. Its helping to correct that on a much larger scale which is long past due. Thats why male suicide rate is so high
As someone who mainly listens to emorap I feel that this video only really tackles the mainstream hits where there is such a thriving underground community like guardin,9tails(sewerperson), Convolk,and more it's a gross underrepresented of the real players in a genre that was never really mainstream and had standouts if anyone wants to really see the current culture of emo rap try the artists above. They aren't a cookie cutter sound and very different from peep and the others but have there own sound and art
they’ll get their spot at some point, just like lil darkie being a very obscure underground artist than blowing up & taking all the great producers around him to the top.
I can't really put into words how well you put the thoughts I had a hard time putting into words; Into words. As a very small up and coming rapper who feels like the game took a sharp turn when these big 3 died, it's rough out here tryna be on the more lyrical side. This video confirms a lot of thoughts and connects a lot of dots that I really just can't describe man, thank you for real for real. It sucks that I can see why the state of hip hop is what it is right now and I just have to try and bridge lyrical to that instead of something that REALLY meant a lot to me; like emo rap. I feel like I'm gonna be restricted to only doing tribute style projects just because these 3 died and took emo rap with them. Shit hurts man, but I really appreciate this video beyond possible description. It's a confirmation I came to the right conclusion; invaluable. 🙏 You earned a sub here bro
honestly it's a lot like punk, in the mid to late 70s punk music was at its peak, then people went overboard in the 80s (something someone like John Lydon fkn hated) so him and post OG punks moved onto different sounds and thus post punk and all these other sub genres.. it got a similar 5 year run of good emo rap from 2014-2019 then idk like Darby Crash and Sid Vicious, people od'd or self delete themselves etc. Feels like history just repeating sadly..
I got inspired by x, lil peep , iann dior, Juice WRLD, and Trippie redd of the emo rap sub genre. When I grow up I want to a producer and a singer which I'm still taking classes for music in general. If I don't make it well nobody can take ot from me 🥲🖤😅
Music genres never die they just become reclusive. People still listen to nu metal, to shoegaze, to whatever. Emo rap has experienced a mainstream death but it's far from dead
There'll never be another emo rapper like juice wrld who could freestyle as good and make that many hits and thousands of fire songs. Emo rap is gonna die bruh
I still rock with x and juice and I have fond memories of listening to juice wrld especially after he passed. I have so many great memories listening to trippie redd and loving it and even X. Even tho I still listen to trippie redd more than X and juice wrld, I still go back to their music and projects. They hit hard sometimes because it reminds me of my childhood.
If you think about it, Lil Peep was the most authentic in the emo rap scene. His clothing, tattoos, sound and mixtapes/albums were a reflection of what he truly felt and believed in and that's one of the reasons why Peep is so iconic.
That sucks emo rap died down. It’s actually great music… I’m an artist, & the type of music I make is emo rap. Not because it’s trendy or nothing, only because I grew up on bands like Thursday, Armor for sleep, A skylit drive, etc. & I loved lil peeps music. It is hard to get views on my music, but I like making the music I want to make
Literally all my favourite artists that i loved at that time died. It's fucked up. Now i don't listen to them much as years back but they are still in my playlists. RIP. And i need to say that i growed up from EMO rap i dont know any others EMO rappers and i don't even want to know. Nobody will be like them and i don't want to be popping xanax again
Great vid, but feels like it could be a bit biased at times, for example, you mention laroi having a father in the industry and say that he "didnt have any catalouge" before getting vids for ll. He did actually have some music, he made music since he was like 12, and i remember seeing him at different music / hiphop competitions when he was a lil kid
to calrify, i dont really care if you call him an industry plant or not, this was just an example as i think you could be more sincere when talking about these artists
And to add, the people that listen to Emo Rap, we have grown up and we aren't sad anymore lol. Like I started listening to that stuff when i was 21, and now as a 30 year old man, what do I look like out here on my Business Grind, listening to Sad Boy music.
I love emo rap, but I wish you would also cover the underground emo rap scene. Rappers like 9tails, lil skele, convolk, guardin, sewerperson, not home and more
this video just proves a lot of the people who listened to peep and juice and x where only there after they died wich is so sad but to the ones who been there since day one with me yall real gs and know exactly what there music and energy stood for.
There’s still a lot of good artist’s that are keeping it alive ! Suisside Shrimp Caspr Ekkstacy Drippin so pretty Coldhart Etc!! Still my favorite genre to this day
eh u were wrong about the kid laroi tho he literally slept in juice wrld room they were close he was kid larois mentor lowkey next time need to do better research
@@rishavfash1r someone that helps someone else w whatever theyre skilled in if u watch the music videos kid laroi is literally in there and in vlogs juice is mentoring him 💀 ur an idiot
@@rishavfash1r ur a resesrch and information channel next time do ur research u say they werent close but kid laroi slept on juices hotel with JUICE recorded taught him thats a mentor my man
it’ll be hard to blow up with this sound now cus when x, juice and peep said stuff we knew it was true and how they lived, if someone comes out now with some of the lines they have people will just say “they’re tryna be juice wrld he doesn’t really feel that way” and until they get to a good size how can we believe it? what made the music that bit better was what they were saying was true whereas nowadays people try to hate before giving someone a chance so we’re not gonna connect with the lyrics as much plus we don’t know them
My favorite emo rapper of all time Drippin So Pretty has switched up his sound and has been making either moody rock or electronic rap. And I’ve noticed MANY artists have been doing something similar. Paris Shadows has been leaning heavily into post punk lately, for example.
I've got the angel of death watching over my back She know I'm too slick, I outlive heart attacks I swear she don't love me, she in love with my racks I got the angel of death telling me to fall back I've got the angel of death watching over my back She know I'm too slick, I outlive heart attacks I swear she don't love me, she in love with my racks I got the angel of death telling me to fall back
It died because the greats died in just a couple years, if they didnt die rap would be completely different right now. but their deaths were coming anyways it was just an amazing moment in time we got to witness
I hope that emo rap never dies. We still got Killstation, Brennan Savage and many more underground artist and begginers. You just have to dig more. Peep wasn't only one doing that kind of music but he was the only one to blow up like that. We need to carry on his legacy and carry on this genre of music but it needs to stay underground tho.
This videos partially correct. Generally, emo rap in the mainstream died for lack of innovation, but one branch of it innovated and became mainstream under a totally different name: hyperpop. Look at 100 gecs, glaive, ericdoa, etc. They're all influenced by those same kinda emo melodies, they're just placed over more uptempo and electronic production.
Not discrediting any other rappers who passed away but peep X and juice where all icons in their own ways. All their music you felt as well as heard, you felt the emotion, the pain, the anger, the sadness, the realness, the cries for help, their art was crazy and it’s honestly so sad we don’t get to hear more music from these artists as they have now passed because the talent all 3 of them possessed is crazy and they would and probably still will go down as legends to the new wave of teenagers and even the old heads have the respect their music at this point like it or not. R.I.P Juice, peep, X and all the others artists who sadly was taken away from their families and friends 💪🏼
I wouldn't say prodigy but this guy is severely undermining how close they actually were, laroi wasn't just a random to juice. Laroi literally toured w him and juice willingly made music w laroi, hell laroi even saw juice pass and has released tribute songs abt him. The way this guy is talking abt their relationship is lowkey disrespectful ash.
juice and laroi were close, juice shouted him out on multiple unreleased songs, laroi was w him when he died, juice gave him a feature for his birthday, took him around the world..
Laroi Grinded in Australia. Rapped for Ben Simmons and shit before he went to the nba. Grinded to get seen by Bibby and opened for juice. Essentially just about every artist is an “industry plant” if that is counted as one.
A lot attempts of emo rap stopped being as good when it gets clear the artists arent talking about their feelings, but trying to imitate other's emotions. Industry plants are just that, even if they actual feel that way, the way its expressed is imitating the emotions that got us those sounds.
Completely agree with basically everything in the video but i also 100% would listen to any emo rap rn. Any new artists making it and coming from a genuine place still has a chance, in my opinion
We still got: Suicide Boys, Bones, pouya, shakewell, Scarlxrd, and Yung lean. I miss the rage😢 Mario Judah is probably a Industry Plant too. MGK, Kid Cudi, Ski Mask the SlumpGod, and Post Malone are some honorable mentions too.
The lead singer of smashing pumpkins described Lil Peep perfectly in an interview when asked about him. Lil Peep captured a culture of kids and young adults that felt like outcasts to the society they were in. The same way Kurt Cobain did in the 90s. If Lil Peep didn't pass away at such a young age, he would have changed the music industry. Post Malone even stated that.
I actually really love the rock section in the Pink Tape, specially the Bring Me The Horizon features, of course it's was not going to be reviewed well it's a Metalcore song in a Rap album. What was really cool about Emo rap it's that it bring much life and energy back to Rock music with had been on decline since like 2014. Emo rap it's a important part of what Rock fans called Pop Punk Revival.
Can't be full emo and mainstream because the majority chooses to ignore most things around them/are less aware. It's the same reason why conscious rap and other forms of art and music that make ppl look within and/or within and it's too much for them (or they realize they don't have the answers and it breaks their reality/ bubble they live in).
Liked the video I just got some things I wanna say Lots of emo rap artist that aren’t mainstream are still thriving in the underground scene nothingnowhere,fatse,93feetofsmoke,lil lotus etc. they’re style just evolved over time and lil uzi ain’t even emo rap at all he had xo tour life and that’s it. Lil xan is more in line with pump and smokepurp. Mgk didn’t get dissed into a new genre he had a song with Travis barker and Youngblood that absolutely blew up and saw that people loved the pop punk sound and decided to drop a whole album
I've been emo for most of my life. I've always listened to old emo bands and I was very early to adopt emo rap. Back then, whenever I called it emo rap people felt offended, nobody even knew what emo rap was. And there was one name that brought me into emo rap that nobody ever mentions. One emo rapper made it big and he got out and is still making music to this day. Oliver Francis

emo rap can be in so many varieties too like the late 90s to late 2000s
It’s called opium💀
“ most controversial” out of all the sub genres of hip-hop it’s definitely not the most controversial
@Slimthickmodels I didn’t say most hated . I said it wasn’t the most controversial
@Slimthickmodelsmumble rap wasn't even a real thing it was what they called the newer generation of melodic rap
@Slimthickmodelswhat’s a mumble rapper ?
Yeah horrorcore and drill was more controversial
As someone who mainly listens to emorap I feel that this video only really tackles the mainstream hits where there is such a thriving underground community like guardin,9tails(sewerperson),
Convolk,and more it's a gross underrepresented of the real players in a genre that was never really mainstream and had standouts if anyone wants to really see the current culture of emo rap try the artists above. They aren't a cookie cutter sound and very different from peep and the others but have there own sound and art
they’ll get their spot at some point, just like lil darkie being a very obscure underground artist than blowing up & taking all the great producers around him to the top.
I love Emo Rap bro, got me into mainstream music. I'm always gonna fw it
aint nobody gives a shi

Emo rap ain’t dead for me. Deffo getting a bit stale but there is some new artist doing cool stuff within the genre
I can't really put into words how well you put the thoughts I had a hard time putting into words; Into words. As a very small up and coming rapper who feels like the game took a sharp turn when these big 3 died, it's rough out here tryna be on the more lyrical side. This video confirms a lot of thoughts and connects a lot of dots that I really just can't describe man, thank you for real for real. It sucks that I can see why the state of hip hop is what it is right now and I just have to try and bridge lyrical to that instead of something that REALLY meant a lot to me; like emo rap. I feel like I'm gonna be restricted to only doing tribute style projects just because these 3 died and took emo rap with them.
Shit hurts man, but I really appreciate this video beyond possible description. It's a confirmation I came to the right conclusion; invaluable. 🙏 You earned a sub here bro
What a great comprehensive video. You really hit all the points and I stand by your opinions. Fire dude
honestly it's a lot like punk, in the mid to late 70s punk music was at its peak, then people went overboard in the 80s (something someone like John Lydon fkn hated) so him and post OG punks moved onto different sounds and thus post punk and all these other sub genres.. it got a similar 5 year run of good emo rap from 2014-2019 then idk like Darby Crash and Sid Vicious, people od'd or self delete themselves etc. Feels like history just repeating sadly..
I got inspired by x, lil peep , iann dior, Juice WRLD, and Trippie redd of the emo rap sub genre. When I grow up I want to a producer and a singer which I'm still taking classes for music in general. If I don't make it well nobody can take ot from me 🥲🖤😅
On God I remember Iann Dior. That was before the dark days.
You don’t need school to make music if you do no you won’t make it.. making music is a feeling
Im sure you can make it i have a friend that became producer because of the same reason. He is literally producing people now lol
Music genres never die they just become reclusive. People still listen to nu metal, to shoegaze, to whatever. Emo rap has experienced a mainstream death but it's far from dead
Thats what i been saying. Just give it another 5-10 years and itll come back
Its debatable that Nu metal is bigger now than it was when it started
There'll never be another emo rapper like juice wrld who could freestyle as good and make that many hits and thousands of fire songs. Emo rap is gonna die bruh
I still rock with x and juice and I have fond memories of listening to juice wrld especially after he passed. I have so many great memories listening to trippie redd and loving it and even X. Even tho I still listen to trippie redd more than X and juice wrld, I still go back to their music and projects. They hit hard sometimes because it reminds me of my childhood.
If you think about it, Lil Peep was the most authentic in the emo rap scene. His clothing, tattoos, sound and mixtapes/albums were a reflection of what he truly felt and believed in and that's one of the reasons why Peep is so iconic.
No word about lil Tracy
Ngl, solo without peep he is just ass
@@teilors9679cap, he’s got a few bangers solo
Bones is still killing it and pretty much started the wave
That sucks emo rap died down. It’s actually great music… I’m an artist, & the type of music I make is emo rap. Not because it’s trendy or nothing, only because I grew up on bands like Thursday, Armor for sleep, A skylit drive, etc. & I loved lil peeps music. It is hard to get views on my music, but I like making the music I want to make
Same bro , completely agree with you as a fellow emo rap artist
@@ColdStarr we just gotta keep grinding bro 🙏 you on BandLab or SoundCloud? I’ll follow
fr bruh
Fax bro
I'm only 9 minutes into the video, but it's pretty criminal to leave Mac Miller out of this video since he inspired a lot of these guys
What I’m saying
This video reminded me of another legend we lost 6 Dogs
Yoo
Literally all my favourite artists that i loved at that time died. It's fucked up. Now i don't listen to them much as years back but they are still in my playlists. RIP.
And i need to say that i growed up from EMO rap i dont know any others EMO rappers and i don't even want to know. Nobody will be like them and i don't want to be popping xanax again
putting rap in the title but the kid laroi in the thumbnail is wild asl ngl
Agreed, wouldn’t say Kid Laroi is a rapper
Great vid, but feels like it could be a bit biased at times, for example, you mention laroi having a father in the industry and say that he "didnt have any catalouge" before getting vids for ll. He did actually have some music, he made music since he was like 12, and i remember seeing him at different music / hiphop competitions when he was a lil kid
to calrify, i dont really care if you call him an industry plant or not, this was just an example as i think you could be more sincere when talking about these artists
i been listening to Laroi before he even blew up. i couldnt care if people call him an industry plant or not lol
And to add, the people that listen to Emo Rap, we have grown up and we aren't sad anymore lol. Like I started listening to that stuff when i was 21, and now as a 30 year old man, what do I look like out here on my Business Grind, listening to Sad Boy music.
bones recently dropped a midwestern emo album, great stuff
U been bringing it back in my city
I still listen to emo trap. Some artists that I listen to are Sewperson/9tails, Convolk, Shinigami, and bones which all are authentic ~
Your a real one bro no one talks about the underground indie emo rap scene I swear my favorite artist is guardin
Bro I forgot to mention guardin, facts I listen to him too 🔥
@@Jasonstormrage IVOXYGEN enjoyers?
@@Jasonstormragelisten to ppg caspr -take this right
@@Jasonstormragelisten to capoxxo - im sorry
there's so much hate on mgk, i did the same and i aint know peep did it too w his suit lmao
Still listening to all 3 legends 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I love emo rap, but I wish you would also cover the underground emo rap scene. Rappers like 9tails, lil skele, convolk, guardin, sewerperson, not home and more
Scarlxrd is probably the only real one left tbh.
That’s a god damm name i haven’t heard in half a decade lmao
Zilla kami…
@@XxGamer42069xX trueee, city morgue
🤘👍
i never really considered xan an emo rapper, he has some sad songs but it's more turn up mumble rap in the style of pump and purrp
this video just proves a lot of the people who listened to peep and juice and x where only there after they died wich is so sad but to the ones who been there since day one with me yall real gs and know exactly what there music and energy stood for.
Juice isn't just emo rappp he's got the best songs in every other genre
I do Emo rap it’s still alive!!!!!!!!!
Same
2:00 "which is sitting at 300 million views on youtube" but the video is only at 188 million views 🧐
theres 2 music videos of betrayed
There’s still a lot of good artist’s that are keeping it alive !
Suisside
Shrimp
Caspr
Ekkstacy
Drippin so pretty
Coldhart
Etc!!
Still my favorite genre to this day
People always forget about drippin so pretty.
eh u were wrong about the kid laroi tho he literally slept in juice wrld room they were close he was kid larois mentor lowkey next time need to do better research
do you know what a mentor is?
Lol he said next time do better research. You’re lost bud
@@rishavfash1r someone that helps someone else w whatever theyre skilled in if u watch the music videos kid laroi is literally in there and in vlogs juice is mentoring him 💀 ur an idiot
@@rishavfash1r also me knowing the definition of mentor doesnt prove me wrong and still doesnt support the misinformation in this video
@@rishavfash1r ur a resesrch and information channel next time do ur research u say they werent close but kid laroi slept on juices hotel with JUICE recorded taught him thats a mentor my man
3:22 but lil peep died on november 15th? 🧐
All the research in this vid is wrong or inaccurate
it’ll be hard to blow up with this sound now cus when x, juice and peep said stuff we knew it was true and how they lived, if someone comes out now with some of the lines they have people will just say “they’re tryna be juice wrld he doesn’t really feel that way” and until they get to a good size how can we believe it? what made the music that bit better was what they were saying was true whereas nowadays people try to hate before giving someone a chance so we’re not gonna connect with the lyrics as much plus we don’t know them
My favorite emo rapper of all time Drippin So Pretty has switched up his sound and has been making either moody rock or electronic rap. And I’ve noticed MANY artists have been doing something similar. Paris Shadows has been leaning heavily into post punk lately, for example.

goated genre , sadly itll never be da same brah
Juice wrld wasnt really emo rap
lmao yes it was
Bro what
he was bruh yall dumb asf @@M4X2COLD
It’s dying because most ppl not in such a dark place anymore but we always come back
It died because the greats died in just a couple years, if they didnt die rap would be completely different right now. but their deaths were coming anyways it was just an amazing moment in time we got to witness
I hope that emo rap never dies. We still got Killstation, Brennan Savage and many more underground artist and begginers. You just have to dig more. Peep wasn't only one doing that kind of music but he was the only one to blow up like that. We need to carry on his legacy and carry on this genre of music but it needs to stay underground tho.
Bro do your research about Laroi. Seem like you just full on hate and spread misinformation
Stop dick riding a plant
a lot of us grew up, stopped doing drugs, and healed from all that. We saw what happened to X, peep, and juice so we changed and matured.
The fall happened because emo raps best rappers od'ed and died
Juice was the last hope then we lost him but at least he left a long legacy
this video is absolute trash lmao
Well u commented on it and made it more popular 😂😂😂
one comment wont make video more popular trust me lil bro@@RickyJim-ot5rv
This videos partially correct. Generally, emo rap in the mainstream died for lack of innovation, but one branch of it innovated and became mainstream under a totally different name: hyperpop.
Look at 100 gecs, glaive, ericdoa, etc. They're all influenced by those same kinda emo melodies, they're just placed over more uptempo and electronic production.
This genre is hard to fill after juice because the audience knows honesty
Not discrediting any other rappers who passed away but peep X and juice where all icons in their own ways. All their music you felt as well as heard, you felt the emotion, the pain, the anger, the sadness, the realness, the cries for help, their art was crazy and it’s honestly so sad we don’t get to hear more music from these artists as they have now passed because the talent all 3 of them possessed is crazy and they would and probably still will go down as legends to the new wave of teenagers and even the old heads have the respect their music at this point like it or not. R.I.P Juice, peep, X and all the others artists who sadly was taken away from their families and friends 💪🏼
Nice video dude, didn't even know Laroi was just a random, thought he was really Juice's prodigy
I wouldn't say prodigy but this guy is severely undermining how close they actually were, laroi wasn't just a random to juice. Laroi literally toured w him and juice willingly made music w laroi, hell laroi even saw juice pass and has released tribute songs abt him. The way this guy is talking abt their relationship is lowkey disrespectful ash.
juice and laroi were close, juice shouted him out on multiple unreleased songs, laroi was w him when he died, juice gave him a feature for his birthday, took him around the world..
Laroi Grinded in Australia. Rapped for Ben Simmons and shit before he went to the nba. Grinded to get seen by Bibby and opened for juice. Essentially just about every artist is an “industry plant” if that is counted as one.
I still listen to emo rap 24/7 mainly just juice n iann dior tho
$b are the only big ones left thankfully sober now
A lot attempts of emo rap stopped being as good when it gets clear the artists arent talking about their feelings, but trying to imitate other's emotions. Industry plants are just that, even if they actual feel that way, the way its expressed is imitating the emotions that got us those sounds.
This was probably the precursor the resurgence of pop punk
Completely agree with basically everything in the video but i also 100% would listen to any emo rap rn. Any new artists making it and coming from a genuine place still has a chance, in my opinion
dang nice video bro
laroi and juice were so crazy close, they literally lived together and laroi was there when he died.
This video is 10000 percent true so not listen to people in the comments
dude i got a song wit the beat you used at the start of the video, W vid gang
progress needs to return
We still got: Suicide Boys, Bones, pouya, shakewell, Scarlxrd, and Yung lean. I miss the rage😢
Mario Judah is probably a Industry Plant too.
MGK, Kid Cudi, Ski Mask the SlumpGod, and Post Malone are some honorable mentions too.
The lead singer of smashing pumpkins described Lil Peep perfectly in an interview when asked about him. Lil Peep captured a culture of kids and young adults that felt like outcasts to the society they were in. The same way Kurt Cobain did in the 90s. If Lil Peep didn't pass away at such a young age, he would have changed the music industry. Post Malone even stated that.
I actually really love the rock section in the Pink Tape, specially the Bring Me The Horizon features, of course it's was not going to be reviewed well it's a Metalcore song in a Rap album. What was really cool about Emo rap it's that it bring much life and energy back to Rock music with had been on decline since like 2014. Emo rap it's a important part of what Rock fans called Pop Punk Revival.
Can't be full emo and mainstream because the majority chooses to ignore most things around them/are less aware.
It's the same reason why conscious rap and other forms of art and music that make ppl look within and/or within and it's too much for them (or they realize they don't have the answers and it breaks their reality/ bubble they live in).
Liked the video I just got some things I wanna say
Lots of emo rap artist that aren’t mainstream are still thriving in the underground scene nothingnowhere,fatse,93feetofsmoke,lil lotus etc. they’re style just evolved over time and lil uzi ain’t even emo rap at all he had xo tour life and that’s it. Lil xan is more in line with pump and smokepurp. Mgk didn’t get dissed into a new genre he had a song with Travis barker and Youngblood that absolutely blew up and saw that people loved the pop punk sound and decided to drop a whole album
i have been listening to powfu since the end of 2018 and i think what he is doing whit emo rap is interesting with the lofi
Hope Trippie comes wit something on LAT2
I've been emo for most of my life. I've always listened to old emo bands and I was very early to adopt emo rap. Back then, whenever I called it emo rap people felt offended, nobody even knew what emo rap was.
And there was one name that brought me into emo rap that nobody ever mentions. One emo rapper made it big and he got out and is still making music to this day.
