    Never listened to his music but it's really fucking sad.
    I saw the video of him dead going around on Twitter, and asked the original poster to delete it since it was disrespectful. It's shocking tbh.
    Do you know how depression works?

    I knew someone would say this eventually.
     
    Peep was an addict but he was also a person. Struggling with a dependency condition isn't that simple. Think what you will about addicts but it's horrific when anyone dies from these circumstances. People think they get a free pass to be awful about the death of someone just because they died because of drugs but you really do not. To you he was just a random druggie but someone else has lost a friend, a sibling, a child, a grandchild, the list goes on.
    I have lost friends to addiction. Please think about what you say before you say it you unfeeling asshole.

    Not in any way a doctor, however- from personal experience -
     
    I know someone who died recently and someone had checked on them and said the same thing- they were sleeping and snoring so thought nothing of it...
    HOWEVER-we found out-
     
    when one ODS and falls into a deep sleep, if they are snoring loudly, they can throw up and it (what is the word? aspirates and goes to the brain and it is fatal
    even if someone sees it immediately (like a major stroke or embolism I think.) So death is almost instant.

    Lil Peep (born Gustav Ahr), a rising emo-rapper, has passed away at 21 years old. Lil Peep was making waves this year with his debut full length album and had been on the rise since 2015 with his Soundcloud releases, revolutionizing the genre of "Soundcloud emo rap." A cause of death has not been confirmed but is suspected to be an overdose.
     
    Peep publicly struggled with addiction and mental illness and whether or not you like his music, it's devastating to see a young man with such potential's story cut short in this tragic way. I hope this breaks open a conversation about the horrors of addiction and mental illness. RIP.

    BTD should return to the 200 after Christmas, as in the last few weeks, over 120 new or rentry albums (of the 200) entered the chart, many will only be on a few weeks
    and after Christmas it usually opens the way for at least 50 to 75 older albums back on the charts.
     
    (unless it is being reconfigured and perhaps Cola is being dropped from it...
    ALSO- Billboard itself changed the way they are counting streams (due to the attempted theft of her #1 for LFL and now places like Spotify will place more emphasis
    on the deluxe Spotify and not the free one, and also, continuous replay might not count so much.
    Plus it has to come from America and not other countries.
    Same with buying physical copies, which still counts heavier than a digital copy
     
    So look for the return of BTD to the charts in January if not sooner.

    I wanted so badly to take seriously that follow-up EP with the surf rock beach sounds, it would've been amazing, but I just have a feeling that the LFL era's going to be longer than we already expect.

    this man was literally raised with the idea (pushed by his father) that the white race is genetically superior and that the Trump gene is superior as well. Seeing videos from the 70s-90s this man has never been able to string a proper sentence withouth butchering some grammatical rule. We don't need to meet a media mogul that loves to suck the medias tit to know how immature he is (like, come on, we have enough videography footage to make a 5000000 hour documentary about his life and form opinions over them).
    he raced to be president simply because he could; he could give no fucks about politics or the 99%. 
     
     
    i would love to know how you magically switched the on/off sexuality button and how that has any relations to the topic that is being discussed.
    Also Lana is one of THE most unrealistic creators out there. She has created a small "fantasy" universe within her music that literally has in no way any connection to "reality"
    (new york transplant lolita going to the beach, driving down Sunset Blv with her daddy on her Jaguar.. so realistic and #relatable)
    God Bless America and WTWWAW do not count

    Speech:
    I am very happy to be here tonight to give my managers this award and I wanted to share with you what they did for me that no one else could do.
      They were able to see in me all of the things that people around 2006/2007 said were unmarketable, not pop enough, too abstract. They were able to see these traits as assets and to have the wisdom to see that some of the peculiarities of my writing style were relatable.    They could actually make my record translate in a universal way that other bigger managers and bigger labels that I had met hadn’t been able to understand up until that point.    My melodies, choruses and songs weren’t four to the floor, and my sentiments were not always cheerful… like having a debut record called Born to Die! But I was able to communicate my feelings in a way that was different from other artists at the time. I had my own unique vocabulary and I had ambitions to be a great American writer. They saw that value in that.    By the time I met Ben in 2009 I had already been playing in local bars and auditioning for major and indie labels for about four years. Although my experiences with open mic nights and playing on the lower east side of New York City was generally positive, my experience playing for labels was mostly the same.   Every meeting ended with the question, Where are the hits? To which I would indignantly reply, I’m sharing my life story! I guess I expected people to see the value in that and to have an a-ha moment.   On some level I think people did love the music, I got a lot of positive feedback, just no calls back. That was probably because nobody knew what to do with the tone of the project and songs, and they couldn’t really envision what my career would look like long term.    But when I met Ben and shortly after I met Ed, I moved to London where they lived, and we did start to get calls back after making the rounds for a few years.   They were the first people who could see the big picture and they loved my music as much as I loved making it. Which I think is the most important thing for a manager: to truly love the projects that they are working on and to want to make the personal and professional commitment it takes to make an artist successful.   Once an artist becomes famous, it really does become a commitment and a shared life between everybody involved. The artist’s ups and downs and the layers of the complexities in the ways that the managers need to be involved, especially in a younger artist’s life, can be extensive.   Crazy ex-boyfriends, complex family histories to work through, previous indie record deals gone wrong, eleven record publishing commitments made at a young age to unwind. All of that before you even think about what the style of the first record should be.   The most valuable thing a manager and an artist can share is to be on the same page as each other for the most important things like principles, ethics and goals.    Eight years ago I told my managers upfront that there were going to be more parts of me that were not for sale than would be for sale. That having a real private life was going to be as big a priority to me as it was to write thoughtful records. I had to fight that a little bit, but we’ve kept them at the forefront of all of our decision making.    On a side note, I’d also just like to say that there is a real cultural shift happening this year with women coming forward telling their stories about experiences in the entertainment business. It’s a real cultural moment.    Me and my managers called each other up the same day that some of these revelations started to be divulged and I felt really lucky that we were on the same page about the fact that we felt like this is going to be a really good thing for artists like me and younger. I had a moment in those weeks thinking about how important it is to have those shared principles.    So to finish, I really am one of those artists who wouldn’t be where I am now without these two people because it does take a village to make an artist go far. They’ve helped find the right people to support me as I travel around the world sharing my music.   I also wanted to say that Dave Chumbley was my booking agent and he passed away this year while we were doing shows in the UK. I feel like if I mention his name, he’d be smiling because he loved stuff like this.    So congratulations, you really deserve it, Ben Mawson and Ed Millet, managers of the year.

    We're probably not going to hear it ever in a couple years.
     
    But Lana said that Yosemite was her favorite, and when it was scrapped, she said that Heroin was her new favorite. I mean if she thinks that Yosemite is better than her Magnum Opus - Heroin, we can be sure that it doesn't suck. Btw, she said that TLY is her favorite from Honeymoon, BTD her fave from BTD and that Cruel World is her favorite from UV so the queen has nice taste. I'm sure Yosemite will deliver.
     
    And if your taste flops and you don't like acoustic songs, then yeah you're probably not going to like it 

    Okay I don't wanna contribute to the Yosemite hype so let's keep in mind that it's all speculation

    Updated for the Nov. 11, 2017 chart
    Notes of interest this week- the Beatles #1's falls off the chart (they have 295) weeks and directly behind Lana
    and Nirvana also falls off, Thriller and AC/DC, and Zep are not on 
     
    and Lust for Life is still on the Top 200 in its 14th week. 
    ​Lana also reenters the Social Media list this week at #47, her 119th week on that chart (she got as high as #14).
