"Where is my pizza I ordered n-----??" -- your comment on Bot's profile
"Real hood n----- s---" -- your comment on ThyNeighbor's profile

to be fair, you did say jamar clark was a "thug" who deserved to be executed by the mpls police department, and you referred to two rappers making an anti-trump song as "uneducated gangbangers," despite the fact that you have a six-year-old's grasp on grammar and spelling. have a good day you self-loathing racist hick.

knew this was coming but its still hurts man... I grew up on X's music and I havent stopped listening for almost 20 years straight. And out of all the music I've listened to since, there isn't a single rapper that had that same energy or was able to reach those same heights. He was - and always will be - in a league of his own.

Thankful to have been able to experience his journey and happy that he’s finally at peace. I think that’s all he ever wanted was to be at peace. He’ll be celebrated forever and he truly is a king of this culture.

If your friends are having issues with drugs please reach out. This could be me, this could be you. This could’ve been anyone

yeah I saw that article yesterday and I don't know how much of it I believe, just cause his brother says he didn't act depressed, doesn't mean that he wasn't. it's not unusual for some who's depressed to hide it around people and just act like everything is ok. either way it's still so sad.

Lil Peep’s Brother Calls His Death an ‘Accident’: He Was ‘Super Happy with Where He Was in Life’

BY BRIANNE TRACY•@BRIANNETRACY

POSTED ON NOVEMBER 17, 2017 AT 7:38PM EST

News of Lil Peep’s death shocked fans and ignited a conversation on addiction and mental health, but his older brother Karl Åhr, who goes by Oskar, wants to set the record straight that there was more to the rapper than his drug use and the persona he portrayed to the public.

Peep (real name Gustav Åhr), who was a rising star in the hip-hop and emo scene, died on Wednesday at the age of 21 ahead of a scheduled show in Tucson, Arizona due to a likely overdose on Xanax, according to Tucson Police. Oskar says that the pill Peep took may have been laced and caused his death accidentally.

“We [the family] have heard there was some sort of substance he did not expect to be involved in the substance he was taking,” Oskar, 23, tells PEOPLE exclusively. “He thought he could take what he did, but he had been given something and he didn’t realize what it was.”

As to the possibility of it being an intentional overdose, Oskar says Peep “was not struggling” at the time and that finding out about his death was a complete shock.

“It was an accident, it really was an accident,” Oskar says. “He was super happy with where he was in life.”



Lil Peep was well-known for lyrics that openly addressed his use of drugs, specifically pills, and his battle with depression. While Oskar says that he and his brother went through their fair share of struggles growing up with their father, who he describes as a “selfish man,” much of the sadness Peep portrayed in his lyrics and on his Instagram came as a part of his job.

“It makes me laugh to think about the days we watched WWE together but [Peep] mentioned how being a hip-hop artist is like being a pro-wrestling character. You have to be an actor,” Oskar says. “He gets paid to be sad. It’s what he made his name on. It’s what his image was in a sense.”

“He was so proud when he heard that there were people in the world who wanted to k--- themselves, and then they didn’t because they listened to his music. He was helping people, he was not somebody who needed help,” Oskar continues. “He was not as sad as people think he was. It’s frustrating as someone who remembers a happy brother.”



According to Oskar, Peep “had a much healthier relationship with drugs earlier in life” before his rap and hip-hop career started taking off.

“[Early on] he didn’t drink alcohol, for example,” Oskar explains, adding that his brother did use marijuana, though, starting at a young age. “I can guarantee [drugs are] not something that would’ve been a part of his life if he was not a part of that specific culture. Not only was he a part of it, he’ll be remembered for making waves in it.”

Oskar makes it clear that he and his family have great trust in Sarah Stennett, the CEO of First Access Entertainment, which partnered with Peep in the last year, but he blames the hip hop industry as a whole, in part, for putting pressure on artists to portray a certain image.

“My brother didn’t take five Xanax pills every day, but he would take them and then post on Instagram about it,” he says. “I wish it would have paid for him to be a little safer, but the world needed him to have superlative problems that he dealt with in superlative ways. Gus dealt with these problems much better than Lil Peep did, but people didn’t know Gus, and there’s a reason Gus doesn’t sell.”



He continues: “I hope there is some focus on drugs like Xanax and pills, in general, and the potential for them being laced, but I hope it isn’t too much associated with how people remember him.”

What Oskar hopes people remember about his brother, who he describes as determined and deeply loyal, is the sweet side of his personality that couldn’t easily be found on his Instagram or in the lyrics of his music.

“Everything in his world was about our mom,” he says. “And I want to talk about how much he loved his dog. As a tough guy, he had a super tiny little dog, a silky terrier named Taz, that he loved and he actually saved. He has spent more of his life than you would think with an adorable little dog that was his partner in all of this — sitting around while he was making a lot of those songs at the beginning.”



Oskar says that he and his brother had a very close relationship, and though they didn’t get to talk often due to Peep’s hectic tour schedule, they were both looking forward to spending Thanksgiving together next week as the holidays were a time they would catch up on life.

“It was all very odd and surreal. Yes, my brother was a rap artist. But that was his career,” Oskar says. “We would giggle about the things that were a part of his job at family dinners on holidays. He was very proud of himself and he knew we were very proud of him.”

In the future, Oskar hopes to put out some of Peep’s unreleased music that he collaborated with his friend and fellow rapper Makonnen on that he says “is a lot happier.”

“He might’ve made a funky Red Hot Chili Peppers album in the future about why he loved life,” he says. “We didn’t grow up thinking he’d be a hip hop artist and what an awesome career it turned out to be. He thought he’d be an actor of some sort since he always had this presence and this charisma. His versatility knew no boundaries.”

1. I Know There's Gonna Be (Good Times) - Jamie xx ft. Young Thug & Popcaan
I prefer the leaked version with only Thug for plenty of reasons (the order of the verses, the lack of Popcaan), but that doesn't stop this cut from Jamie xx's In Colour from being one of the most innovative, bold, and just downright fun tracks of the year. One of the best examples of Thug's vocal range, as well as why his devilishly exuberant voice should be prized as a national treasure, "Good Times" is a feat worth praising. Jamie xx had people all around the country belting "I'M A RIDE IN THAT p---- LIKE A STROLLER" with nothing but absolute joy written across their faces. Young Thug provided the perfect template for a "good time" (sex, drugs, and companionship -- see: "even in the summertime, me & lil shawty cuddle"), but didn't shy away from his usual train of thought at all (the aforementioned line of note is followed by the often overlooked aside, "I survived in the motherfuckin' gutter"). For Thug, his origins and his place in society at the moment, aren't two disjointed worlds -- he won't let them be. For him, pullin' up and shootin' the fair one, you know, "hood times," is just as essential as that "mush ti(iiiiiiiiiii)me." Especially if that guy is already "runnin' up all the money that he owes." He is "coming red like Coke Cola" after all. He isn't ashamed of his heritage, nor is he concerned, even for a second, about what you think of him.

My friend first got to hear this song while in Rome. And for that reason I will forever hate him. But, to be fair, I first got to hear the leaked version of this song with one of my closest friends as we made our way through the 100 leaked tracks -- and that experience of staring at each other, bewildered, not knowing music could be this special, is one I wouldn't ever want to trade.

And, with this, my list comes to a close. 2015 was an incredible year for music. It was a fascinating year for rap, in particular. The unnecessary walls between genres are being toppled, homophobia and the resulting insecurities are hopefully on thier way out, and, most importantly, we're starting to realize music is about feeling, and nothing more.

Despite the not so uplifting events that have plagued the US this year, issues that don't seem to be going anywhere for the foreseeable future, "I know...there's gonna be good times." And, to me, making us believe that is the greatest feat imaginable.

4. March Madness - Future
Even though its the 4th song on my list, some people are still gonna be surprised/upset. That's just how good it is. This is the kind of "song of my generation" candidate that has Lebron tellin' b------s to talk to the hand while he rocks out:

This is one of Future's greatest achievements to date. He made a song that appears to be pure id, pure, unfiltered, bravado, but is anything but upon further inspection. Underneath the mesmerizing Tarantino beat, underneath the "f--- a cougar like she Halle Berry," is the central conceit of the record: "all these cops shootin' n----s -- tragic." All Future wants to do is reap what he's sowed, see his hard work come to fruition, and he should be able to -- shouldn't he? But as much he tries, it's next to impossible when the rest of your community, the ones you've been trying to uplift for years by using your music as a vehicle for self-expression, are being beaten down more than ever before. It doesn't matter if the statistics say otherwise, if crime is actually at an "all time low," or if certain pockets of people in the US somehow don't even believe civil rights issues exist in this day and age -- cops are still killing innocent civilians. The title says it all -- how can there be a "march madness" if nothing's wrong? Things are clearly going to s--- in this country. Why are we in denial? Innocent civilians are dying, and Future's still the lone soul "livin' lavish." And even then, he doesn't feel like he's using his privilege appropriately: "I didn't wanna f--- the b----, but the molly made me f--- her,even though she average." "March Madness" is anthemic, it's exhilarating, it's empowering -- but, above all, it's clearly made in the image of a man grappling with inner demons while being forced to put on a fake front for the rest of the world.

It makes sense that once Esco got out of prison and was on his way home from Dubai, and he finally heard "March Madness" for the first time, he played it non-stop for the entire duration of the flight.
