Panda_bear 43 Posted February 13, 2018 Quote Gustav Elijah Åhr (November 1, 1996 – November 15, 2017), known professionally as Lil Peep, was an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer. He was known for being part of a "post-emo revival style of hip-hop" Åhr died of an accidental fentanyl overdose on November 15, 2017. AllMusic described his music as a blend of hip hop and rock influences along with trap, punk, and dream pop. Åhr’s music contains lyrical themes regarding topics such as depression, drug use, past relationships, and suicidal thoughts. Before the release of his first album, he mentioned Kurt Cobain, David Bowie, Frank Ocean and Riff Raff as inspirations. His other musical influences include Gucci Mane, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Crystal Castles, Seshollowaterboyz, Rozz Dyliams, My Chemical Romance and Panic! at the Disco. Any fans of his music? I only recently discovered him and I've been binging through his discography. I really enjoyed Call Me When you're sober and appreciate all the other genres of music he combined with the rap/trap style. His passing was very unfortunate and sad on a number of levels. 2 Shir0 and suji reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
suji 8317 Posted February 13, 2018 Fucking love this dude. My sister would always blast his music in the car, and to hear that the dude died was very surreal and tragic. As someone who initially grew up hating all kinds of rap, his music made me a huge fan of underground rap/vapor trap, etc. I can totally relate to most of his lyrics.

Same here. I'm more of a rock and metal guy, but appreciate some good hip-hop and rap, and his style instantly made me a fan of his. His music definitely pulls you in even if your not a rap fan. Definitely blast worthy with some emo but catchy vocal hooks. His lyrics are also very relateable and a part of why I think he attracted a lot of fans. 1 suji reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
