The Fray How To Save A Life Album Zip ->>> http://bit.ly/2ynTsRK
It turns out people are looking, though perhaps not for the reasons X had hopedSince then, there has been almost no middle ground in the response to the rappers popularityGoogle Trends data shows a grimly proportionate correlation between the alleged October 2016 incident and Xs sudden spike in visibilityMeanwhile, just as many listeners have chosen to opt out entirely, and understandably so; it is soul-crushing enough to exist in 2017 without the obligation to engage with music made by even alleged abusersCertainly, it is within Xs artistic license to write about any of this, regardless of its veracityThere is a sense of unease when Digital brings the beat back; whatever just happened, no one is sure how to follow itBut 17 forces you to sit quietly in Xs headspace, to wholly embody that suffering; to be dancing to this stuff would be perverseThat woman is alleged to be his ex-girlfriend; a photo of her swollen, bruised eyes has been circulated across social media
But part of the reason stuff like rap-rock was so maligned (aside from straight-up classism) was that it often seemed to sit awkwardly in the middle of the two genres it attempted to merge, unresolvedBut a deeper dive into Xs three-year catalog turns up sufficient proof that it is more than just lip service when he lists his inspirations as Nirvana, Papa Roach, and the FrayAs Look At Me! crept up the Hot 100 earlier this year, X sat in a Broward County jail, serving time for violating a house arrest agreement from 2015 charges of home invasion and battery with a firearmDead Inside (Interlude) is just a piano and Xs racing thoughts, reminding me quite a bit of the 2000 version of Cat Powers In This HoleIf Xanax, within the vernacular of SoundCloud rap, has come to function as a trendy accessorya signifier for a certain type of fuck-the-world cool for those on the fringes of society (or those who imagine it might be glamorous to be)17s desperate numbness is a reminder that opiates clinical purpose is to temporarily anesthetize a traumatized mindI put my all into this, in the hopes it will help cure or at least numb your depression, he announces in the albums intro, the p in depression popping into the microphone, painting a picture of X recording alone in his bedroom, just as you are listening to itAs genre boundaries have dissolved and rappers have become known as the new rock stars in a post-Rebirth world, the recent resurgence of emo, rap-rock, and Hot Topic aesthetics makes sense beyond just millennial nostalgiaThere is no respite, no light at the end of the tunnel, just darkness
X assumes a cult-leader authority over his die-hard battalion of stans, outlining in interviews a rubric for fandom that feels more like the Sea Orgs billion-year contractIn an Instagram post last month, X warned fans: If you listen to me to get hype or to not think, dont buy this album.Its a thing, these days, for rappers to insist that their work transcends genreand hey, more power to em, though by now its a bit clichdBut where alternative R&B in the 2010s has largely suffered from an air of total detachment, Fuck Love bleeds emotionNothing on the 22-minute album sounds anything like his breakout hit; and while I imagine that X relishes in this opportunity for a bit of a fake-out, it feels disingenuous to chalk up 17s stark distinction from Look At Me! to pure provocation
Of its 11 songs, only half make it past the two-minute markScattered throughout his SoundCloud are surprisingly compelling experiments in grunge, nu-metal, and post-Weeknd R&BVoices in my head/Telling me Im gonna end up dead, he chants along with the funereal plod of Save Me, a blatant cry for help that sits somewhere between Staind and unplugged Chris CornellBut more recent, and far more harrowing, charges have made X notorious, raising the valid question of whether ethical consumption of his music is possibleThe R&B songs hereespecially the Trippie Redd-featuring Fuck Love, currently the most-played song on SoundCloud this weekfeel adjacent in sound to popular R&B of the past few yearsJocelyn Flores, a half-sung, half-rapped dedication to a friend who ended her life in a hotel room earlier this year, presents pain as ones final connection to something thats no longer there
And so the fact that 2017s most vital rap movementa loosely-connected group making bruised, blown-out DIY music that often doesnt sound much like rap at all, mostly discussed under the umbrella term of SoundCloud raphas almost no mainstream appeal is not a hurdle, but a selling pointAnd though its preceded by a creepy demand for fealty (I do not value your money; I value your acceptance and loyalty), X seems sincere in his hope that his words might be a balm to others in painCurrently, it has more than 92 million SoundCloud streams; the first comment on the track reads, MY EARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!One of the most disruptive effects of streaming culture, especially as it pertains to rap, is the way it brings the periphery to the center: When one hot SoundCloud single does more for a young artists career overnight than years of label development, there are no rules beyond what works and what doesntMany of these fans seem eager to comply by trolling his critics (and, horrifyingly, his ex herself) with frenzied claims of innocent until proven guilty and familiar misinterpretations of the First AmendmentIt is that visceral emotion that makes it easyagainst all of my better judgmentto understand what makes Xs core audience so intensely, uncomfortably fanaticalIn fact, it would be a stretch to call 17 a rap album at all; instead, it is a collection of shell-shocked bedroom R&B and hopeless, rock-bottom grunge that deals exclusively with depression, heartbreak, and suicide 08ebffe940
