My son, John, first made me aware of XXXTentacion two years ago via the rapper’s song, Garrett’s Revenge:

“I’ve dug two graves for us my dear, cant pretend that I was perfect, leaving you in fear, oh man, what a world the things I hear…If i could act on my revenge, than oh would I?” XXXTentacion

I think it’s one of his better song’s, and although my opinion is worth little, I’m still impelled to say:

Had X lived a few more decades, I believe he would have matured into a strong and recognized political and social voice.

Instead, we lost him to the Dark Side at age 20.
