XXXTENTACION?

[Belgium]

Decided to give this a chance. I don't really know his music well besides that god awful Look At Me song and a few others.
That being said, this album was surprisingly far better than expected. Still not my thing at the end of the day but I think there's some potential for him in this emo rap lane.

I love this album

 

[dipsetgeneral]

Wait. This album is completely left. It's like a alternative type of emo rock. Lots of acoustics and guitars. I thought XXX was like emo-hip-hop stuff. This is completely different!

I'm throughly impressed by this album.. in MY opinion the song that really puts his talent out is the song "depression & obsession" the melody and his voice is like no other . I can't even imagine him singing that .. he can go from rap to this style with ease and doesn't seem forced..

Beating out Taylor swift and uzi vert is something very special and telling of this guys music ..

I'm glad he backed off the " look @ me " style for the mean time

As a 30 year old man who enjoys life and is in a stable relationship....i can say i don't like this album .
But i can see why kids might like it or get down with it. This coming from some one who basically made house of balloons his life soundtrack for basically all of 2011 and 2012

What happened

Based on that deposition, the following is a chronological summary of what she described:

• The reported victim met XXXTentacion online and went to a movie theater with him once before she attended one of his shows in late May 2016. On that particular evening, he came up from behind her in the crowd, grabbed her neck, and walked away silently. Later that same night, he hugged her and invited her to a party at the house where he was living in North Miami. At the house, he told her he liked her and suggested she could move in with him. The next day, she left her ex-boyfriend’s place and began cohabitating with XXXTentacion.

• The first incident of domestic violence occurred about two weeks later. He slapped her and broke her iPhone 6S, because she had complimented a male friend on his new jewelry. (XXXTentacion later repaired the phone.) Later that day, XXXTentacion left the room and returned with two grilling implements—a “barbecue pitchfork” and a “barbecue cleaner,” she said—and told her to pick between them, because he was going to put one of them in her vagina. She chose the fork. He told her to undress. He was lightly dragging the tool against her inner thigh when she passed out. He did not penetrate her with it.

• Following that incident, XXXTentacion began to act violently toward her often. Around July 2016, the couple moved to Orlando. When asked during the deposition to “pinpoint the days he threatened to kill you,” the reported victim responded, “Well, when we lived in Orlando, it was literally like every day.”

• About a week and a half into their stint in Orlando, the woman and XXXTentacion were on their way to a show together. They listened to one of XXXTentacion’s songs in the car and she sang along with his verse. Then she hummed along with a verse from a featured artist on the track. After that, XXXTentacion fell silent and left her in the car outside the venue. Inside, they got into a fight. When they arrived home after the show, he took her into the bathroom. “And he was asking me why I was singing his friend’s part of the song, if I like him, why do I like him, like do I ever look at his Twitter,” she said.

Then, XXXTentacion head-butted her, punched her, stomped on her, and put her in the bathtub, where he continued hitting and kicking her. “He also wanted to cut out my tongue because I was singing the song,” she said. She tried to run away down the street. He tackled her, causing her head to hit the pavement. She suffered black eyes, a lump on the back of her head, scratch marks, and bruises, including a large bruise on her ankle where he stomped her.

• Also while living in Orlando, he hit her with white plastic clothes hangers. “He broke a good 30 hangers on my legs,” she said. Around this time, he tried cutting her hair, and he held her head under running water in the bathtub.

• In August, XXXTentacion was arrested in a separate case. (As previously reported, he was charged with armed home invasion, robbery, and aggravated battery with a firearm, stemming from an alleged incident in November 2015. He pleaded no contest to those charges in March 2017 and was ordered to serve six years of probation.) The woman called her mother to pick her up and then went to stay with a friend in Texas. But she soon had to return to South Florida, where her planned accommodations fell through and she ended up living with XXXTentacion’s friends. Around this time, she had sex with another man.

• When XXXTentacion got out of jail, they moved back in together in North Miami. (On September 16, 2016, court recordsshow, XXXTentacion agreed to house arrest, and was released.) He told her he knew she had cheated on him. He put a knife to her neck, strangled her “a little bit,” and called her a “ho,” she said. That night, he woke her up and told her to go outside, where he picked up an empty glass beer bottle and demanded that she tell him the truth or, “I’m going to **** you up.” She replied that she already was telling him the truth, that she had cheated and was sorry. He dropped the bottle, slapped her, and let her go back to bed.

• About a week later, she and XXXTentacion moved to an apartment in Sweetwater, Fla. In two incidents there, XXXTentacion grabbed her by the neck, strangled her, and forced her down on the bed before another person who lived there came to the rescue. “I’m like scared,” she said, recalling how she felt. “It’s like he’s going to like end up killing me or something.”

• In early October 2016, she found out that she was pregnant by XXXTentacion. The pregnancy was planned by both of them. On the afternoon of October 6, he told her to move from the bed they were lying on. He then went out onto the balcony, where she could still hear him, and called up the person she had slept with while XXXTentacion was in jail, demanding to know everything. When XXXTentacion returned inside, he told her, “You need to tell me the truth right now or I’ll kill you and this jit.” She said that “jit” was slang for the unborn child.

He then started elbowing, head-butting, and punching her. He strangled her until she almost passed out. He took her to the bathroom and demanded one last time that she tell him everything or he would kill her in the bathtub. She couldn’t even recognize her face in the mirror—it looked “distorted”—and her left eye was completely shut and “leaking blood.” She was losing vision. She vomited.

• Other people who lived in the Sweetwater apartment eventually arrived, and she asked them to let her go to the hospital. XXXTentacion told her she couldn’t leave until her face had healed, because otherwise the police would be called. He told her she had to wear a hoodie. XXXTentacion and the others also put glasses on her, then they all got in a car and drove to an apartment she had never been to before, in North Miami Beach. (The hoodie and glasses were noted in a police report.) They left her in a bedroom, and XXXTentacion confiscated her phone. She didn’t get it back until he was arrested on October 8.

• For the next two days she didn’t leave that room except to use an adjacent bathroom. She couldn’t find a way to flee. There were bars on the windows. “If you’re smart, you would stay with me until you get a car and you have enough money to move into an apartment,” he told her. “Because if you leave now, you’re just setting yourself up for failure. You’re going to be homeless.”

• Around 2 a.m. on October 8, XXXTentacion was in the living room of the apartment playing Minecraft and using Skype. She let him know she was going into the kitchen to make him some food. She opened the refrigerator door wide enough so that he wouldn’t be able to see her if he she crouched down, and then she opened a side door and ran to the nearest main street she knew. She didn’t have any money. She asked someone if she could use their phone and called the only number she knew by heart. It was the number for the ex-boyfriend she had been living with the night she agreed to move in with XXXTentacion. That ex-boyfriend’s mother drove her to the Miami Beach police department.

Pitchfork also obtained transcripts of previously unreported depositions by the woman’s ex-boyfriend, his mother, and Sgt. Amel Soto, the Miami Beach police officer who first questioned the woman. The ex-boyfriend backed up much of her testimony regarding what XXXTentacion had done to her. The ex-boyfriend’s mother attested to the woman’s injuries, describing her eyes, for example, as “black and blue, purple, every color under the rainbow.” Soto—a 23-year veteran of the police force—remembered the reported victim telling him about being attacked for humming someone else’s music. He testified, “I had never in my entire career heard something like that.”

Never bought that he didn't do it and that someone else "jumped" her.

 

[UnicornHunter]

Wow makes you think this what made Jocelyn Flores do what she did

[UnicornHunter]

Too much game of thrones .. that's some King Joffrey type move

 

[jr paperstacks]

Yea...I can't listen to this kid. I asked why people didn't like him and I see now. Got it. Album is dope, but i'll never listen to it again. Ah well.

 

[LA Diggler]

Yeah, **** this kid.

 

[toogoon23]

Sucks because his music is fire but yeah, I cant support this man after reading that. Truly disturbing. Wishing wellness for the victim.

 

[monstar]

kids like this dont deserve a platform especially with dispos like this out

Sad part is some young kid gon try to justify these actions when this dude has serious issues that honestly cant be and shouldnt be resolved outside the wall. cat is a predator on the weak and that in itself is weak

They already have. When pictures of her battered face were floating around...a million little ****tards (mostly young males) blamed it on her for "cheating". This is before Look At Me took off btw...

 

[UnicornHunter]

SMH .. What is this haha

 

[6pac]

seeing content like the above in my IG explore feed every now and then helps me understand why and who post 98 babies are making music for

 

[6pac]

as far as the allegations

innocent until proven guilty i guess but damn. a lot of that is too specific to make up.

i wonder what happens if he embraces it and uses it as a gimmick a la Em/Kim.

even tho putting hot steak tongs in a ***** coochie sounds like some **** 99 Em would be like "nah thats some other **** dog"

 

[Maximus Meridius]

He seem like the type of mfer to do this. All the weirdo **** we been seeing from him, the attention whoring. Ol I was bullied in HS type.
