The 10 Most Popular xxxtentacion Songs

The late rapper XXXTentacion had one of the most diverse musical careers, with songs he recorded before his death and during his life. This article will be on the best songs X has released, in which he talks about different topics such as depression, relationships, honesty, and even suicide.

There are a variety of genres to listen to that will help you get through your day or improve your mood. Many of these songs were released posthumously after X passed away from a shooting at Rapper’s Delight on June 18th, 2018 by another artist named Robert Allen “Bob” Thompson Jr who was sentenced to 17 years of prison for second-degree murder.

1. Everybody Dies in Their Nightmares

This song is done by XXXTentacion as a cover and he also did an original instrumental version. This song talks about X telling people that everyone has their nightmares and that some of these nightmares are the worst fear to them. He talks about his struggle in life and expresses how he copes with his problems and the struggles he faced in life.

The lyrics are quite dark but the beat makes it sound like a party which is quite different from the original released by XXXTentacion on SoundCloud before his death, where it had more of an atmosphere of a calm and gloomy day with the piano tone behind him singing.

2. Moonlight

This is a very emotional song with a catchy chorus. The song is about X’s girlfriend and says how they were going through so much when they broke up because X couldn’t bring himself to talk to her anymore. It was his truth, how he carried all of these emotions and he didn’t know why he was holding on to his feelings for her. He still felt broken, always searching for what was wrong with him and this is why he didn’t want to speak to her, and that’s why it got so bad between them.

3. “The Remedy for a Broken Heart (Why Am I So in Love)”

This is the most emotional song out of the songs on this list. X talks about how he got so broken up that he hurt himself by taking pills and overdosing. He talked about how he was very low, and how he didn’t want to think about anything so he took all of these pills. Through his lyrics, it’s clear that at some point, X did love someone but at this point in his life, nothing mattered and he was just trying to find a break from reality because of all the struggles in his life. 

4. Sad!

This is quite a fast-tempo song, with the catchy chorus “Sad!”. The lyrics are about how X feels lonely and blue, asking why no one understands him. He talks about how he’s so sad and how he wishes to be in a better place.

5. “Jocelyn Flores”

Jocelyn Flores is one of the most well-known songs X has released, reaching over 9 million views on YouTube after just a year of its release on March 26th, 2017. This song’s lyrics are about his girlfriend named Jocelyn Flores who passed away from suicide in May of 2017 at age 20. X had an intense relationship between her and her family. He talked about how at the end of the day, he asked why she was so depressed since he didn’t understand that feeling at all. Jocelyn Flores’ death impacted X tremendously, but he never wanted people to go through what she did back then.

6. “Don’t Cry”

The song was released on May 9th, 2018, just a short time after XXXTentacion’s death from a shooting on June 18th, 2018 in Miami, Florida by a gunman named Robert Allen “Bob” Thompson Jr. The song is sincere in some parts, and sad as well. He talks about his struggle and how he wants to talk to someone but he can’t and that’s why he is so depressed. In the chorus, X talks about how his cousin was on a shooting range in the Florida area where he died, and that it’s so important to speak up when a friend is feeling down and some people would be willing to help them out.

7. Revenge

The song is about how X feels like his life is over and there’s nothing that he can do about it. He talks about how he has nothing to live for and how it’s a struggle not to have revenge on someone else. This song was released in May 2017 and it generated over 87,000 sales in just 1 week after it was released. That sales record is still one of the highest for XXXTentacion’s music in a single week.

8. Hope

This was released in December of 2017 and it’s about how X feels lonely, sad, and down and feels like he doesn’t have anyone to talk to anymore. He talks about how he’s been in a dark place for years and no one has ever known how he felt. He talks about how he has the hardest time because everyone is always around him but he is so alone. This song was released just around Christmas, so it seems like X was staying in that dark place while his family and loved ones were enjoying the holidays.

9. “Look at Me”

This song was released in December of 2015 and it’s about X telling everyone to look at him. He’s telling people that they need to stop looking at him the way that they do and start seeing through a different perspective, how he feels when the world is looking down upon him and judging his actions.

10. Ski Mask The Slump God – ft XXXTentacion 

This is a song done by X with another artist named Ski Mask. The song is about two sides of one story, saying how they are both going to end up together in jail because they’ve made bad decisions in their lives such as robbing houses or stealing cars just for kicks. They are both going to end up in jail, so they should get together while they’re both free. 

Conclusion

The songs have a variety of different meanings and messages behind them, but it’s clear that he is talking about a variety of different subjects and things such as depression, his struggles in life, his past, and how much he has changed. He talks about the things that he does to help him out and talk about these different emotions that are hidden behind him.

The songs all have different and unique beats and melodies, making them pretty easy to listen to which is a great quality for X. The lyrics are also simple, relatable, and have a lot of depth behind them but they are still very simple and not too complex or highly intense in their message.
