sometimes, death is merciful. x never seemed like he could find peace or stability. life was beginning to take more than it gave to him. but in the middle of that, he put together one of the greatest album runs in history and instead of just party and bullshyt, he sold millions of records with real lyrical content about real things. now there are millions of people who deal with their own traumas with even more clarity because somebody more articulate than them put it on wax.
RIP to one of the best to ever do it.
