On Monday, a very sad thing happened for rap fans. The 20-year-old rapper, XXXtentation, was shot in Florida and died. The rapper appeared in Florida due to the upcoming charity event in which he was supposed to participate. The charity action was his plan and it concerned people who struggle with depression. Despite the created image and conflicts with the law, X had a lot to convey and aimed at spreading the good on many levels.
On Monday afternoon, XXXtentation went to the skepu with motors to make a new purchase. Two men ran up to him when he returned to the car. One of them was wearing a red mask and according to witnesses, he gave about 7 shots towards the rapper. After the shots, the second man took the Louis Vuitton bag from the car, then escaped the black Dodge.
According to some sources, the rapper was still living in the hospital, where he died shortly thereafter. The whole event was witnessed and one of them recorded the approach to the car and checking the pulse of the rapper, which he thought was already dead.
The whole situation is shocking, mainly due to the fact that it was a young artist gaining more and more popularity and artistic maturity. This year he was to release another album, which will never be released (at least not entirely). He was exceptional, charismatic, he could sing, shout and rap on the gangway or boom boom and he always sounded interesting and unique.
Very big loss for rap, music and culture. Many rappers have commented on this situation, indicating how much they can not come to terms with it. Such loud deaths of rap stars have recently occurred in the 90's when lives lost 2Pac and Notorious B.I.G.
The worst part is that each of them was a great artist, and we will never hear their original songs again and we can not see how they develop.
Rest in peace...
