Simply proves you can be a genius at anything and still be a dumb ass in other areas of
your life. Flashing money on the gram, trolling, getting into beefs, beating up women, all young ameuturish behavior. XXX made himself an easy target.
He was 20 years old breh. I'm in my late 20s and there isn't a week that goes by where I don't think about how stupid I was in my early 20s.
The only reason shyt didn't pan out way worse for me is because I had the right people in my ear, and I was in the right environments, to keep my fukkery levels moderated. EVEN THEN I was an administrator's discretion away from getting expelled from college my senior year. My life could've looked completely different.
I wasn't even a fan of dude's (I'm only finding out some songs I recognize were his after his death) but this shyt hit me for those reasons. He wasn't done growing, he didn't have the benefit that a lot of us have (though granted, some of us do better with even WORSE circumstances than he does - but those are exceptions).
By all accounts, no matter what his troubles were, he wasn't about that kind of life where you'd expect it to end this way. He wasn't a Chief Keef, a 6ix9ine, or whatever. Due was a troubled kid who made it somehow, only to have it snatched away over like $15-$20k. It's depressing as fukk.
