As a big fan of X I think he deserved prison time for the horrible things he did. Over the past year he has made a an effort to try to change. Everything he's done the last few months have been positive and I believe that he was turning his life around.

You might not like his music but millions of people do. I know lots of people that X inspired by helping them cope with their depression . Imo X is one of the all time greats.

Also X stopped ducking around with beef, violence, drugs etc a few months ago. He even ended all his beefs with rappers like Drake, 6ix9ine etc.

And btw he got shot after leaving a motorcycle store and heading out to his charity event he was hosting on Florida.

It's incredibly callous, IMO, to bring up a person's transgressions once they have passed away. He may have had a beleaguered past, but the man was only 20. How many of us wish we could go back and re-do some of the less than savory things we did at a young age? This man wasn't afforded an opportunity to grow, change, possibly even educate. This whole "good", "that's what he gets", "he deserved" climate is quite off-putting.

I feel mixed on it. On the one hand, I think it's kind of stupid that we as a society stop criticizing people the moment they're dead. 

On the other hand, a lot of the times we only show humanity to people AFTER they are dead (see - almost every person who's commited suicide ever)

And honestly, I'm the kind of person who thinks that almost no one ever deserves to die, even serial killers. 

So it's a mixed bag. I don't think most people are saying he deserved it. Just that the life he led was going to obviously make this the result, and that he is responsible for his decisions. I still don't agree with anyone entirely, though.

Damn...

He wasn't a good person, but not bad enough to deserve this.

About to listen to Sad! on repeat.

I can't stand this idea. If anything, their death is why you should be able to speak freely and honestly about how great or terrible they were. 

Damn. Sounds like a bad apple. 

THankfully inhave great parsnges who taught me right from wrong at an early age. So growing up I hated the very idea of doing something against the law and couldn’t understand ppl who do. 

If you want a good life, stealing, killing and other things won’t give it to you. It’ll just make your life worse. 

You have to work hard if you want anything out of life. Life isn’t easy but you don’t have to make it harder on yourself by doing dumb shit. 

Karma eventually catches up. What goes around comes around. All the bad deeds a person does will come back to bite them in the ass one day. 

I will be honest and say I don't know a lot about the guy, but I do know the charges included beating his pregnant GF and when taken to court he tried to dissuade witnesses from presenting evidence with threats of violence, he was also under charges for witness and evidence tampering with felony charge cases possibly those involving the sale of drugs.

As for the stance of "don't talk about the bad things he done because he died" History is littered with people who done horrible things, we still speak of them, when someone is a bad human while they're alive they are responsible for the same acts when they're dead, the only difference is they're now a dead bad person.

So? Why should we care? Why is this horrible?

XXXTentacion threatened to penetrate his ex's vagina with a barbecue cleaner/barbecue fork. Allegedly he kicked, punched, tackled, and “stomped on” his ex-girlfriend, because he heard her singing another artist’s song. XXXTentacion was arrested for his 2015 robbery and assault charges, he put a knife to his ex's throat, strangled her “a little bit,” and threatened to hit her with a glass bottle.

Come on, he has a history against women, there's no way in hell he deserves respect. Just because he's famous and makes music, it doesn't make him a good person. 

If it was an average person, like us, everyone would say "well, they deserved it", "they had it coming". I'm not saying he deserved to die, I'm just saying, he doesn't deserve respect, nor does he deserve to rest in peace.

He did some terrible things and deserved to go to prison for it but he's been trying to turn a new leaf this past year by doing lots of good.

IF (IF!!!) he did beat up his girl, damaging her eyes while she was pregnant, it is no big loss for me.

A couple months in the right direction does not erase ones past. Who says he doesn't do this again when a woman makes him mad. He died at 20, and this stuff was like a year or two ago. I'd have some symphothy if he had shown to be clean and on the right path for like 5+ years or something. I mean how many alcoholics or drug addicts do you think have their say 6 month pin for staying clean. I bet a ton of them have multiple pins.

But I guess that is the world we live in. Look at Chris Brown and other singers. Doesn't seem to matter what horrible things they do, as long as they keep making music people like they don't care that they are women abusers.
