This song is still 100% relevant to what goes on today.

This song is too accurate right now

More people need to hear this right now. “Think about the people who own it for just a second”. These riots are getting out of hand

FACT : Dude was 16 y/o when he wrote this, it's actually a 2014 song

It's crazy how many people still don't understand the meaning behind X's lyrics. People really think he's promoting rioting in this song. Wild. Wake up.

I'm just sad people are misinterpreting this song during these riots. X is calling out the hypocrisy and self defeat of riots, not encouraging them

His versatility is INSANE. He has music for the whole entire spectrum of emotions.

His flow is insane

"I am not dead until I am forgotten" - XXXTENTACION♥️

It's so upsetting to see such amazing talent go so early.. Rest In Peace X. Another great rapper lost..

yo if he continues this sound, i would listen to this nigga everyday

"The real ones been dying, the fake ones is lit" - J. Cole Rip X

This song kinda makes u think that he lived this year already

This song is so relevant right now. wish x could see the legacy he’s left behind

0:29 ‪“Look at all the stores you’re wrecking, think about the people who own it for about a second” Sad to see people who own small business get their lives destroyed even though they have nothing to do with the cops who killed innocent people

Listen I'm a metal head but discovered X from my son like 5 yrs ago. Love this kids flow and style, he is a sad loss to music itself. Hope his music carrie's on through time. Rip.

I love the old school flow

this song couldn’t be anymore relevant right now

We need this song in GTA 6.

This song rly hits, the beat, the flow, the lyrics, it seems like a 90s Brooklyn hip-hop song

X was ahead of his time.

Coming back to my favorite song to pay respects to a legend 💔

I think people don’t realize that this song is anti riots..

The Raspiness in his voice brought this whole thing to a whole new level, sheesh

had to pay respects to him with my favorite song, rest in peace X.

This song is needed more than ever now

Only ogs know when this wasnt on spotify and everyone would look for it

This was X;s peak, can’t be convinced otherwise

This rap is actually nostalgic...It reminds me of the 90's.. I like that, alot

when you realize x was only 17 when he made this it was made in may 2015

He’s saying that you can't fight racism with violence and destruction. he’s saying love is the way #RipGeorgeFloyd🖤🙏🏼

HE WAS AHEAD OF HIS TIME, TRULY A LEGEND!!!!

to anybody that doesn’t listen, this is an ANTI-RIOT song

I forgot he was gone for a moment, just saw this in my feed and remembered how much I fucking love this song. Long Live X

If he rapped consisnetely with this flow and style, he would be on top of the game. His flow and lyrics is fucking on another level to other rappers

Anyone talking about George here understand this song is not promoting the riots at all its saying they are bad

Anyone gonna acknowledge how old school this song sounds, lyrically and rhythmically? My god it bops, I miss this guy

The versatility is real.....

This man's music was my safe space for the longest time. Hate how a label can ruin that for you... To me, he's a totem of the hate and violence that surrounds us everyday, through this song, his music, everyday life and untimely death... I will forever respect him for the way he externalised how it affected him. To me this song is what he stood for. I feel his spirit. I'm proud to be part of the million kids he wanted to influence. #LONGLIVEKINGX

I will riot if this does not come back to spotify Edit : WE DID IT VROOOO

He has so many styles

Thinkin bout this song, while Minneapolis is rioting.

Still on repeat as well as all his songs 😢🙏🏾LLJ

X was ahead of his time, look whats going on now

The riots that are happening in Minneapolis is what X is talking about. I know the killing was not justified at all, and terrible, but setting apartment complex’s and destroying business is not the right way to go about. Just like in the song X says “Think about the people who own it for about a second.” And I’m not sure if the people are taking that into consideration. I just want to hear other people’s thoughts.

Its crazy how a lot of people didn’t get this song at first and was calling X weird for making it ... now it makes sense to them it took people 3 years to finally realize what this song and video stood for ... Couldn’t have been a better time for this song ..

I was never exactly a fan, and stumbled on this by accident. But this song and its lyrics deserve a lot of respect, written by a 16 year old in 2014... it flows so well, and fits just about any year after 2016. I wouldve really enjoyed more music like this.

This song is more relevant right now than it has ever been before.

I hope when he free he chills out and just stays out of trouble kid has way too much potential for it to go to waste

This is the track that bought my respect He was just trying different shit

The UKs fav song rn

He’s not rapping about riots he’s rapping against riots.

This beat is so underrated

Needs to rap like this more

genuinely had potential of being one of the greatest hip hop songs of all time , wish he had a longer verse

this song is more relevant now that riots all over America are going on 。

I don't want to see this guy in jail anymore his music is too dope.

This was the first X song I ever heard! It's awesome 🔥 and R.I.P. 🕊️

“I know you got your problems but brother they got theirs”. People need to support themselves or their family dont loot ❤️

X on xxl freshman 2017

it’s kinda sad that people are only finding this song now

I wish he had actually rapped like this more

“Racism is not getting worse, it’s getting filmed”-Will Smith

Rest In Peace X. ❤️

XXXTENTACION on the come up

Best generation of rap I've listened to.

came here as soon as I heard the news. Riot was my favourite; Rest in peace.

He sounds so much better when he actually is rapping like this. He needs to do more tracks like this

Easy the dopest song he have made

Looks like we back here again lmao

Rip legend X

Look at the world today.. it’s crazy how he was literally speaking facts..

I feel like everyone needs to listen right now. He is speaking the truth. As they riot thinking in their minds that they are helping the cause they are just causing more pain. Is that the goal? To transfer your pain onto another person? No. George Floyd was killed senselessly but that doesn’t make it okay to burn a city down to show conflict. Show that you are fighting for him, show that you remember him and do it the right way. Rest In Peace George Floyd.

this is so underrated and he was 16 when he made this in 2014 that’s crazy, he was so talented RIP X.

I had to come back to this classic, my favorite for sure🖤 R.I.P X💔🌹

THIS SONG IS AGAINST RIOTING. PERIOD. X is trying to say that we need to move AWAY from this type of foolish behavior! " be unmoved by the opposition, remain unscathed in the comfort of your own home in your own realm, demonstrate care for the youth’s future, white or black, black or white, are you willing to risk your own child’s future due to your own bigotry?"

Is it me or does this give you old vibes and sounds like an old school song I love it Rip XXXTentacion he was one of my favorite rappers hope he rests well in heaven😢🙏🏼🙏🏼

Deadass, one of the best songs of X

R.I.P. XXXTentacion. 1998 - 2018 He didn't deserve what came to him, everyone makes mistakes and hes not exception but there's no coming back from death.

y’all clowns if y’all think this song supports riots... it’s the opposite

Goodbye Xxx Tentacion :-) We really missed you. I really wished I could give you my soul We all love you 💔 ok Let him see his son how he will become? I love you, have a wonderful day 🇮🇶❤️

Beat so old school love it omg

" a man is never dead if he's killed, but is dead once he's forgotten. " - jahseh dwayne onfroy. rip x ❤️

It’s like he alive and made this song last year bro 💙 rip x

X bringing back the 90's rap

RIP X

Lyrical masterpiece it holds such a strong message while sounding amazing

I want him to do a track with this same flow so bad.

this shit is the most lit verse its kinda old school but its to short

I wish this was longer

X's music is the epitome of Intellect

This song had a message. Like all his songs. Not those normal raps where you rap for the sake of rapping to look cool or anything. X had a gift, he is the gift, he is like an angel sent down form heaven. He was like a brother, teacher, family, best friend and guardian to us while he was still living. The fact he went through depression and started rapping/singing to give messages out to everyone, and a way to communicate worldwild with people who went through the same thing, and he went to end his life but stood with us makes me cry. He understood how it felt to go through depression, anxiety, pain...we were there for X with our support and X would want us to carry it this support even if he is not on earth with us anymore. Our support kept him alive..he helped millions of kids and those kids were me and many more. He helped me through depression, anxiety, tough times, when my family weren’t like a family and when my friends weren’t being friends at the time. But X was always a brother, teacher, family, best friend and guardian. ALWAYS. His laugh, his voice, his music, his messages, his quotes, his smile, him having fun just tears me up after hearing about him passing away. He’s always on my mind now and I wake up every morning saying ‘I love you X’ and randomly in other times. It’s amazing how he tried living life the best and didn’t let depression get in his way which he tried to show everyone..I love you, we love you X. I will never feel the happiness, comfort, love, confidence you gave me those years and only you can give. You were ALL I HAD. I lost the ONE person in my life...his fucked up world has no justice, someone people doesn’t deserve someone kindhearted and generous as X. Rest easy and sleep tight and thanks for everything you did to us.Xxxtentacion aka. Young dagger dick aka. Jahseh Dwayne Ricardo Onfroy ❤️💔😞😪🙏🏼 FYI; X never beat up his “pregnant” ex-girlfriend. It’s told she lied about her pregnancy but there is a video of a phone call of X and Geneva (ex gridlfridnd) and they admit later on in the video that he never beat her up. Because I think I remember it was her friend who said ‘I never said it was you that beat her up’ and it was also told that Geneva smoked with a man five times and she fucked him because she was feeling stress. I don’t know his name but I remember they said his last name was Lopez..Jahseh didn’t want Geneva to go prison because Geneva said she’ll drop the chargers and Jahseh said not to because he didn’t want her ending up in prison. Do you see now? No one deserves an early death especially someone like X..I’m just crying with him on my mind all the time.. people need to first find more information about the situation and make sure you are sure as Hell instead of hearing it from other people and then spreads into a rumour and you believe it. X was in prison but it was told because he smoked at a young age. That’s not a crime that is just illegal. So those who are saying they have him for his bad crimes he didn’t really do bad bad crimes..💔💔 Love you X, you will be realised for the effort you put into your music, and not only your life but millions of lives from old ages and young ages. Thank you for everything you did in such little time. Legends never die because they are always in our heart, and your one of the ONLY legends I know, we will celebrate your life and your legacy will carry on, sleep tight and take care of Jocelyn and your loved ones up there. I hope I meet you in heaven when my time is up here. All my love and Condolence to his family 🙏🏼❤️ January 23rd 1998 - June 18th 2018, age 20..

why XXXTENTACION's best songs are so damn short?

I still can’t believe hes died .. no ones going to be able to replace him, It still has me sad today , he helped me get through the hardest times with his music & I just want to say thank you sm RIP X gone but never forgotten 6/18/18 🙏🏽🙏🏽🖤

Who still listening to this masterpiece in 2022?? 😆👌

This is like old school rapping style, i love it. Its not no mumble shit

Y’all can hate him or whatever but one thing you can say is: X SPOKE. He said what he meant and said it with pride. I respect him for that. This music video and song in general was an absolute eye opener. Rest In Peace Jah
