Do you remember your first date?
- No... I destroyed my own memory.

I am very emotional person, and I destroy myself and the people around me with this. I wish I could be less sensitive. I feel everything very strongly.

Childhood and youth

As a child, Garcia was a difficult child - fights with classmates and problems with teachers were a common situation for him. IN adolescence Gazzy started using marijuana and other illegal substances and practically forgot about his studies. As a result, the guy was expelled in high school.

Creation

In high school, Gazzy met Omar Pineiro, known in the hip-hop community under the pseudonym Smokepurpp. Pineiro heard Garcia's freestyle and literally forced him to record tracks in the studio.

He told me, “Dude, record a song!” I refused, and he literally dragged me into the studio. I freestyled. Before that, I didn't even want to rap.

Your first track under same name Lil Pump posted it on the SoundCloud website, and within a couple of days he had 10 thousand plays. This inspired the young artist to take music seriously.

Subsequently young musician collaborated with such reputable artists as Lil Tex, FamousDex, Ugly God, etc. In 2016, Lil Pump went on a tour with Smokepurpp, which they called “The Meantime”. In June 2016, a video was released for the rapper’s first single, which gained almost 9 million views within a year.

His record was broken by the video for the track “D Rose”, which gained more than 70 million views in six months. The song is dedicated to someone else young talent– basketball player Derrick Rose, who at the age of 22 became the most valuable player of the NBA season.

However, this did not stop Garcia from winning the hearts of millions of fans at such a young age. In June 2017, two Lil Pump videos were released: for the songs “Boss” and “Next” (Lil Pump recorded the latter song together with rapper Rich The Kid).

In the video, the musician, dressed in Gucci, comes to school accompanied by a tiger, disrupts classes and throws a party, and at the end gives the teacher a bag of marijuana.

Lil Pump's personal life

The musician's height is 171 cm. Lil Pump basks in female attention, but whether his heart is occupied or not is unknown. In one of his Instagram posts, the musician wrote that he would “never buy a girl an engagement ring.”

The rapper’s addiction to drugs has been known for a long time; he raised this topic more than once in his work and wrote about it in his blogs in in social networks, calling himself a "production junkie." He urged his fans not to take drugs, but he himself, apparently, could not cope with the addiction. His manager Chase Ortega tweeted after reports of his client's death that, unfortunately, he had been waiting for this news for the past year.

Lil Peep: biography

Pip adheres to a special style of clothing, which is dominated by pink color, he dyes his hair the same color. His music cannot be clearly attributed to any genre - on the one hand, he has more than a dozen tracks with a trap sound, on the other, his main stream of compositions is similar to sad rock, inspired by Blink-182.

In 2017, Lil Peep reached major forms - in September, the musician released a full-length album “Come Over When You’re Sober, Pt. 1", which had some success among fans of the genre.

He generally had a fairly fast career. He uploaded his tracks, including on his YouTube channel, where videos for “Awful Things”, “Benz Truck” or “The Brightside” already collected several million views. He signed a contract with renowned agent Kara Lewis, and specialized publications like Noisey and Pitchfork were quick to declare him “the future of emo music.”

Lil Peep was classified as emo hip-hop - that is, that type of this music that largely exploited the emo boom of the last decade. Lil Peep has become in many ways the face of this trend - and therefore will be remembered primarily as the artist who brought emo culture back to the masses; in his tracks, the music that was popular in 2007-2008 has found new uniform in the tracks. Lil Peep set sad lyrics - mostly about depression, despair, angst and drugs - over instrumentals that sounded a lot like emo icons My Chemical Romance. And in many ways they were about himself:

“I'm very emotional. I ruin the life of myself and other people. I don't want to be like that"

Lil Peep said in an interview with Noisey.

In 2017, Lil Peep came to Russia, where he gave a concert and also shot a video for the song “Benz Truck” (“Gelik”).

The rapper's death was commented on by him Russian colleagues; For many of them, this became a reason to speak out against drugs. Thus, in particular, the currently most popular domestic representative of the genre, Oksimiron (Miron Fedorov), published a tweet in two languages, in which he called for avoiding drugs, and if there is an addiction, for treatment.

Performer Oxxxymiron, in light of the death of rapper Lil Peep from an overdose, called on everyone to stay away from drugs, pointing out that if “such a misfortune” has happened to a person, then you need to look for those who will help cope with addiction, for example, visit groups of anonymous drug addicts. “When I die, you will love me,” Lil Peep wrote on his Instagram page the day before his death.

The musician's brother, Karl (Karl Åhr), claims that Gustav's death was the result of a tragic mistake.

Karl (better known as Oscar) shares his assumptions that the medical drug Xanax, the overdose of which caused the death of the musician, was counterfeit, and this is what played fatal role. So, immediately before the tragic events, Gustav received his pills not from the usual, trusted source, but in a different way.

Lil Peep's family unanimously claims that the musician is Lately he was happy and calm, and even ordinary depression left him. There was not a single hint in Pip's words of a desire to die. On the contrary, he willingly shared his plans for the future and was inspired interesting projects and ideas.

“It was an accident! Damn accident! - Karl confidently answers People magazine when asked about the cause of Gustav’s death, - his brother was very pleased current state own life".

In addition, Karl admits that Gustav created the image of a “sad, depressed, suicidal emo teenager” solely for the stage. IN ordinary life, with friends, and especially at home, he was a cheerful and positive guy.

He felt comfortable at home and got along well with his mother and his dog, named Taz, whom he loved very much.

“Gustav was extremely proud to learn that there were people who were on the verge of suicide, but thanks to his music, they were able to cope with their depression,” Karl continued, “he was not really as sad as he was thought to be in songs and videos . It upsets me a little because in my memory he will remain a happy person.”

Drug use, according to his brother, was not a physiological necessity for Gustav! Rather, it was an external attribute of the rap culture of which he considered himself a part.

His posts on social networks were sometimes too gloomy, but here the reason was not so much in youthful depression, but in the understanding of the inevitability of his quick end. So, in , Lil Peep says that he had already overdosed several times and they barely had time to pump him out. He was not a stupid guy, and he understood perfectly well that sooner or later, medical assistance would not be in time and he would not wake up... which is what happened on November 15, 2017.

Speaking about the use of Xanax, Carl says, “In a different situation, Gus would have found a safer and more reliable way to get the pills, but he had health problems and, in order not to upset the fans waiting for his performance the next day by canceling a concert, he used Xanax , obtained from a dubious source."

All these words, heard from the lips of one of the closest people in Gustav’s life, allow us to conclude that Lil Peep’s death actually occurred as a result of a fatal accident. On the other hand, it must be admitted that if drugs had not been present in his life, this might not have happened...

In his last video, made a few hours before his death, Gustav reports that he took 6 (six) Xanax tablets and is no longer sick. To put it simply, he informed the fans that he would not cancel the performance and the concert would take place.

If we consider what happened from this point of view, then we can accuse Pip of not caring about his health and his life... but not of neglecting his fans.

Rest in peace, Gustav! You will forever remain in our hearts!

UPD. I came across reports online from the Rossiya 24 television channel about the death of Lil Peep. This is something. World turned upside down. If earlier bloggers posted their thoughts online, based on what they saw on TV... But now television journalists roam the Internet, looking for “hot news”, and then (adding with connections they thought up on their own) retell them from the screen. It's incredibly wild to listen to.

I will be very pleased if you share this article with your friends 😉

What does the prefix Lil mean in the rapper's nickname? Lil is short for little. Rappers who have this prefix are either young or were so when they started making music. The exception will be Lil Wayne, who took this pseudonym because of his short stature. In this article I will not focus on Lil Wayne or Lil Troy (who is already over 50). The time has come for the young, let's talk about them.

Lil Pump

This guy is only 17, and he achieved what even 10 lives would not be enough for you to achieve. The first track by Gazzy Garcia (the artist's real name) “Lil Pump” was released on February 9, 2016 and immediately took off. Then Pump released “ELEMENTARY” and “Drum$tick”, which also found their audience. He gained wide popularity after the song “Gucci Gang” and the video for it, which received more than 500 million views on YouTube. Why is Lil Pump so famous? It's all about the quality music, the lyrics of his tracks, to put it mildly, leave much to be desired, but the beat just makes you twitch with your whole body. The fat muzh just draws you in, and you shake your legs as hard as you can. This is the whole secret of new school hip-hop. Whether it’s good or bad is not for me to judge, but such music has a right to exist. Finally, I’ll tell you about famous phrase Lil Pump, in Russian it sounds like “Eshchkeeeeeee”, and in English it sounds like “Let’s get it” ", but due to the distorted pronunciation it is almost impossible to recognize her."Let's get it "translates as "Let's get it", which fits very canonically into the image Lil Pump.

Lil Peep

Lil Peep died on November 15, 2017 from an overdose of Xanax and cocaine, but his unreleased tracks are still being released. Lil Peep was a new generation emo, and his musical style described as emo trap. He was very open, in 2017 he admitted that he was bisexual. This already says a lot about the performers. In his songs, he raised themes of hatred, drugs, addiction, and unhappy love. All songs Lil Peep heavy, atmospheric, mostly decadent, but with elements of trap. It was this combination that became his feature, thanks to which he received recognition wide audience. But don’t forget about his sincerity, the songs are simply saturated with pain, and you believe his every word. During my career Lil Peep released only 1 album " Come Over When You're Sober" (Part I). Unfortunately, we will never hear Part II.

Lil Skies

Lil Skies is less popular than Lil Pump or Lil Peep, but his audience is gradually growing, and the quality of his music is very hard to doubt. Unlike the above-mentioned artists, Lil Skies' music is closer to classic hip-hop, but also has its own characteristics. For example, his recitative is similar to singing. His very light voice fits well with the beat, creating the illusion of a melody. The performer has Mexican roots, and most spent his life in a small town in Pennsylvania. Lil Skies began recording at age 4, and 8 years later he was writing his own poems. In 2015, his first mixtape, “Grades Bad Habits,” appeared online. Behind short term Lil Skies Lil Skies was able to create my own own style and get respect from already established artists such as Lil Uzi Vert, Mac Miller and Wiz Khalifa.

Lil Xan

Lil Xan - another guy with Mexican roots on my list. Xan He was on Xanax for 2 years, hence his pseudonym, but recently the performer was able to give up drug addiction. At the beginning of its creative career the rapper created a team and called it "Low Gang". The team consists of: Steve Canon and Arnold Dead. Beanies is a clothing line styled by Xan himself. His first performance took place at the Roxy Theater for the 21st Anniversary Festival, which took place in October 2017. In just a year, Xan became very famous and began to earn a lot of money from his tracks and concerts. One of the biggest hits was the song Xanarchy. His debut mixtape "CITGO" was released in September 2016. It includes tracks such as "Who are you", "Bout the Bout it" and "OTW", which featured Stephen Cannon. Lil Xan has only been in the rap game for 1 year, but already has super star status.

Lil Uzi Vert

« Someone once told me that I read like a small machine gun, and then I realized that I would call myself Lil Uzi " Later the performer added the word " Vert ”, and explained that this means “climbing straight to the top.” Uzi is one of the flagships of modern hip-hop.
XO Tour Llif3 the main hit of the artist, who topped various music charts many times. Main distinguishing feature Lil Uzi – his fast recitative, which not many can boast of. His idols were: famous people like Wiz Khalifa, Kanye West, Marilyn Manson and others. In addition, he drew his inspiration from different directions. His debut single became "Money Longer". Lil Uzi keeps the details of his personal life secret.

Lil Yachty

Latest Lilo m on my list is Lil Yachty . The rapper is known to the public for his comedic lyrics, unique melodies and, of course, his red French braids (not dreadlocks). He rose to fame with his mixtapes Summer Songs 2 and Lil Boat. However, this was not his first debut as a singer. His initial recognition came in August 2015 with tracks such as "One Night" and "Minnesota". Both of them were part of his debut album called "Summer Songs". Yachty's life was not easy, as in high school he was repeatedly bullied by his classmates. For the rapper himself, it was just everyday life. He started working from a young age and even formed a certain team that is now part of his music. It wasn't easy for Yachty at first when he moved to New York, but things soon changed for the better.

I hope after this article you have a better understanding of modern hip-hop and can distinguish Lil Xan from Lil Skies. I would like to note that the music of each of the artists presented above is new and unique in one way or another.
