R.I.P

21 is far too young. Regardless how you feel about the circumstances surrounding his death and all that shit, it's still unfortunate. RIP

RIP

rest in piece. this tore me up.

dont do drugs lads

Wasn't a fan but never want to see this kind of thing happen.

opioids + benzos = risky biz for the heart

RIP man

Stay safe folks

Drugs are scary RIP

Little bo peep and his speedballin' dip..

Didn't he say he was a "functioning junkie" or something like that?

I believe it was a "productive junkie."

Tomato, tamato. That xan shit is wack, and the little lads thinking that shit is cool are wack. I don't even feel some type of way for 1'ing all his albums a while ago.

R.I.P.

not a fan but super sad nonetheless

All these gross alt comments. dude was 21, doesn’t matter what he was into or how you feel about his music, thats way way too young to go out

Starboy is obviously a bit of a cunt

Oh man, it hearts my heart to see someone die this young from opioids.

wayyyyyyyyy too fucking young ):

RIP

He died doing what he loved.

RIP

RIP, nothing more

Fuck man.
RIP

21 is also a good age to know the risks of the type of drugs you are taking.
I feel kinda bad, but at the same time it is really really dumb what happened here.

We will not see his likes again

I never got into his music, was never a huge fan. But I can't imagine what it would be like to lose my favorite artist, as many people have today. My condolences go out to his friends and families, and of course, his fans.

"21 is also a good age to know the risks of the type of drugs you are taking.

When are we going to stop perpetuating the myth that most drug addicts don't know the risks involved? Odds are he knew the risks and didn't care because of the way the drugs made him feel. Never heard much by this guy, but a very sad death nonetheless

Damn R.I.P.

Is anyone going to argue that the fact this lil was a hopeless case didn’t account for a hell of a lot of his artistic appeal/credibility? His lifestyle paid for his supper and built his name :/

R.I.P. gone too soon

yea let’s please not say they should know better. they do. countless people from my hometown have been dying from ODs the past few years. recent one was literally a few days from his baby being born and he was trying so hard to be clean. obviously we all wonder what makes one put that needle in their arm the first time, but it’s hard to judge when you don’t know what someone’s life is like.

peep was not only addicted but extremely depressed and suicidal. he has literally said there are days that he wish he didn’t wake up. a predictable end for him. it’s sad.

"Odds are he knew the risks and didn't care because of the way the drugs made him feel"
Why feel sorry for someone who risked their own life for a dangerous high? If he didnt care about his own life than why should we?

Hearts my heart [2]

It's a shitty situation, but yeah, I do agree with Hogan to a degree.

no one is hogan, but if you had someone in your family or close circles of friends like this guy you would probably be a little more sympathetic to addicts.

Never heard of him

potsy just made a list describing how he dealt with depression and addiction and came out feeling good about life in the end. could have been the same story with lil peep. but it wasn't.

Idk who this is but Drifter probably does
RIP

RIP, way too young :/

as someone who is in rehab right now because of heroin addiction, i'll just say that no one does dope because their life is so fucking awesome. it's a slow suicide.

people saying "way too young"

as though it would be ok if he was 70 and he OD'd? lol

I usually try to stay chill in comments on sputnik but wow some of you guys are being real fucking assholes. I really hope none of you ever have to deal with a family member/loved one struggling with serious addiction/mental health disorders because I think you'll change your tune. Shame to see so many sputnik regulars are ignorant as fuck.

sput has no clue tbh

"Why feel sorry for someone who risked their own life for a dangerous high? If he didnt care about his own life than why should we?"

So, if your closest parent and friend both became addicted to Xanax because they were chasing a high, you wouldn't care? You should absolutely feel sorry for people who die from drug overdoses. They know the risks but their dependency on the drug alters the way dopamine is processed, forcing them to chase a high in order to avoid feel increasingly more depressed/anxious/paranoid/etc. Drug addicts are still people who deserve to be respected...

Hopefully, this sad event juxtaposed with the messages in his music will better a generation of youngsters. RIP

RIP, nothing more [2] can't speculate much here.

hey thane, thanks for sharing that. good luck in rehab, you can do this

damn you guys are so badass celebrating someone's OD

Music was pretty lack luster, but rest in peice to this guy, never like seeing anyone die especially at such a young age

I'm not much older than 21 fuck this hit me hard, I don't like his music but this sucks

CÅSTLES II was pretty good. RIP!

Guess we're not gonna hear a peep out of him anymore.
Anyways, RIP. I just hope his candid attitude towards heavy drug use doesn't translate over to his fanbase. Drug use like that isn't a joke.

Snide when the fuck can I buy that ep

Sn00ty remarks?

Always sad reading about stuff like this, regardless of circumstance. Hope his family and friends are able to get the space to grieve.

Snide means daddy in Brazilian.

Also from what I understand this dude's fanbase is really rabid so I hope they leave his family and friends alone.

Hi daddy

Hi Scoob, where's the mystery van? I left the scooby snacks in it.

Damn...

RIP

That’s really shitty. 21 is too young.

Very sad stuff, came across a couple dudes like this in the ward. A lot of times addicts have no desire to live past like 25 so they get stuck in this trap of not giving a shit what happens and just doing their thing. Doesn't make him a bad person

Always wild to hear somebody younger than you has died

Who?

"Very sad stuff, came across a couple dudes like this in the ward. A lot of times addicts have no desire to live past like 25 so they get stuck in this trap of not giving a shit what happens and just doing their thing. Doesn't make him a bad person"

No-one's saying he's a bad person for doing what he wants to do with his body, it's just he apparently had a very open and casual stance of "oh hey doing hard drugs isn't so bad" and didn't make any effort to tell his fans not to follow his example.

Can't tell if sarcastic or not.

It's rarely going to likely that someone who is depressed/suicidal and using fatal amounts of opiates is going to have the insight necessary to warn others to avoid using hard drugs.

All I know is the consumption/glorification of drugs in general is scarier than ever these days, especially when so many street drugs are being laced/counterfeited with fentanyl

Addicts and even first time users can now ingest a drug that looks 100% like the real thing, and end up overdosing on a amount that normally wouldn't ever cause one. Hard drugs are obviously harmful to begin with, but now the potential for death is higher than ever, and many people are still walking around unaware.

I'd be afraid to even do a line of coke now tbh

claiming to be a functional//productive addict isn't necessarily glamorizing heavy drug use. i mean i of course agree that people like this have a certain moral responsibility to not mislead some of their more vulnerable fans and inculcate some image of the cool drug abusing musician guy but idk , opiate / benzo use is inherently numbing , and just all around judgment impairing. not surprising why addicts aren't exactly beacons of responsibility.

yea gmember that's true. these sketchy ersatz drugs are super prevalent nowadays.

Why feel sorry for someone who risked their own life for a dangerous high? If he didnt care about his own life than why should we?

lol for real spirit. [2]
some of these ppl aren't even trying to better understand addiction.

If he'd have cleaned up his act would anyone have been interested in his art is my issue.

Lil Clean Livin' coming to no town nowhere near you no time soon

not doing drugs =/= lil clean livn' ? I feel like there is host of other issues he could have rapped about if he had stopped using. it's not like his mental illnesses and dealing w/them would have went away

Drugs aren't cool, stay in school

“Why feel sorry for someone who risked their own life for a dangerous high? If he didnt care about his own life than why should we?”

Life must be so nice in your gated community.

I have a gut feeling this could have been intentional. If he knew the risks involved and all.

he died from pills that looked like xanax but were actually cut with fentanyl. so no i don't think he was aware of this before he took them.. the risk he thought he was taking was trivial next to the risk he unwittingly took

drugs are fucking scary

R.I.P, so young man.

brokencyde are still the brokencyde of this generation

great contribution

"Still lil peep sucks, is shame that he has died so young but his noise makes me wanna kill small creatures of the forest"

When did all of these budding psychopaths start infesting Sputnik?

please leave

im asking nicely

a few days ago i watched an interview with lil xan who said he quit using xanax because a lot of the pills, at least the ones off the street, were cut and/or laced with fentanyl, which is an opioid with a potency greater than morphine. he was smart to quit. sometimes people feel so sick and depressed to the point where they live recklessly, not outright committing suicide but not caring if they live or die. many who die from an overdose suffer through that. R.I.P.

"i got plastic bags full of acid, whatever happens happens"

Damn, he's the same age as me.

Not sure who this guy is though. I think he had a different Sput article like a month ago?

RIP

thought it said lil pump at first. cant keep track of all the lil rappers that keep coming out lol

but yeah regardless rip hard

Weird feeling seeing kids younger than myself dead already,
that's some sad shit

some of these comments are really disappointing...RIP hard even if his music never truly clicked with me. weirdly enough I heard some great songs by him the day he died before I knew he died

Damn this guy was going places

People have been told for years and years that opioids are the worst. Still rest in peace, man. Hopefully this enlightens others in the scene around him.

rip

forreal....rip lil peep, wish he could have gotten the help he needed

RIP

hogan900 come on man, don't be like that. People who have self-destructive behaviors don't have them out of the deep philosophical belief that life isn't worth it. They have them because they are unhappy.
If you don't care about your own life, it means you're already very depressed and it's sad to see a 21 year old man be like this, and die.

Way too young to go out like that. Man fuck drugs...

RIP Peep.

really upsetting seeing some of the comments here. I get how someone might think its as easy as simply deciding to switch up and change to a cleaner lifestyle, but when you've struggled with some form of mental illness, trying to get sober just amplifies the anxieties and depression that may have already existed. I'm aware this isn't the place to preach, but its sad to see some of you write off a person who was very apparent with their struggle. the least anyone could do that may have had a negative outlook with Lil Peep is just hop along to the next page.

but i guess the internet will be the internet.

RIP LIL PEEP

For real never heard of this guy till today. Listened to some stuff. Wont listen again. Sounds like a lot of people love the kid though. I Wont shed any fake tears over losing someone I never knew about BUT ANYONE losing their life at 21 is a damn tragedy. RIP

Yea some people trying to package sobriety vs. drug use as some clean-cut dichotomy, like choosing between chicken or fish at a restaurant. People with pathological susceptibilities to substances spend their entire lives battling themselves. It’s absolute hell , full of delusion , self-manipulation, self-loathing , self-destruction , etc etc. every long-term addict I know, myself included, hates the fact that they’re so drawn to / consumed by these feelings elicited by certain substances. It’s not something they wittingly chose.

RIP hard, so sad

"One of the realest. Please someone tell me this isn't real."



Really

hal1ax: well put

RIP in peeps

Man, people are really on here 1'ing his whole catalog.

his music isn't very good, but if it's being done out of spite then those lads can suck a sword.

I 1'd his disc seven hours before he retired from music

good for you dude

thanks, I'm a poisonous cvnt but even I have my standards, just needed to clarify

Don't do lean

Smoke

smonk

Very sad news, and he was so young too. RIP hard

Allegations were coming his way anyway. Dude was a fucking creep.

Only people who unironically liked him were tumblr girls who wear chokers, say days and like anal.

Not really sure what liking anal has to do with anything, but 21 is way too young to go. RIP.

chokers are cute

so did lil peep

He died because some bitch laced xanax with fetanyl not by choosing to mix opiates. So sad. RIP 21 is far too young.

"Why feel sorry for someone who risked their own life for a dangerous high? If he didnt care about his own life than why should we?"

literally the dumbest shit to say ever because:

1).he unknowingly bought shit cut with fentanyl. so he had no inkling of the danger he was in
2). he's a human being. get tf off this hating shit

pretty disgusting thing to say yeah

dude literally said we shouldn't care about anyone who doesn't care about themselves like jeez how heartless can you be...

never forget

I forgot

I'd be mad at the post itself if I wasn't already mad about the fact that everyone else can bump old news articles without getting banned besides me.

Who gives a fuck

you apparently

I can’t believe we’ll never get an album called “Peep This Lil Peep” : (

Not in the slightest halfax

Imagine bumping a year old article to make a comment like that

Igord shows up to to Lil Peep’s memorial service crying hysterically:

“I never loved you anyway!!”

lol

Dead meme
