Lucki>
Ski
Juice Wrld OFC
Juice Wrld all Days week
SKI
Who else felt so bad that he had to keep judging his dead homies 😔
Me😞
True 😌
they really gotta do x v juice like that 😔
Yeah that's kinda cruel
forreal that shit is actually messed up
When he said “both my brothers lookin down on me from heaven” that made me so sad :(

@@ChadeshJew You are a grown ass man saying this shit man 🤦🏾♂️
@@ChadeshJew clown
This must’ve been hard as hell for ski. He’s literally friends with half of the list
Man, I feel so bad for Ski especially. He has lost so many of his closest friends. He's such a great guy, he didn't deserve to go through that pain.
@HELA ONFROY stop lying bruh
He's only lost three🤦🏽♀️
@@loveforlife2729 three? Who was the third one besides X and Juice?
@@sunflower-vz1vf Peep bro
@@SlouchVeryRare him and X had beef with Peep until he died. That’s why X made that one song
How can ANYONE hate this man ski
Cuz he trash
@@SeymourKitty ... stfu
@@SeymourKitty roddy rich is trash
@@kinshin99 No he isn't, they both good rappers imo
@@Flo_Resolution yeah roddy is so good shame he got 2 songs that actually bang 😂😂😂😂😂
Man so many of his friends are dead this is just kinda sad
honestly
True
Same. I see this pretty disrespectful because why you gotta put his friends in the thing
@@jimmypurrpgem2995 because they were the kings of the scene they are talking about
@@jimmypurrpgem2995 I really felt the same like he didn’t go to into x or juice as best rapper in his own words ski just had to say better friend in his life basically witch still makes since but like juice go crazy with the freestyles and flows so like.. damn also rip both legends
its actually mind blowing how x and juice and peep were some of the most promising artist of this generation and they're all dead all within a 3 year span. its unreal
It’s because ski kills them
@@blor8729 what are u smoking yo?
@Efrenzy not that deep
@@blor8729 The fuck??!
i swear tho 2017, 2018, 2019 wtf
To See that Ski actually pick Lil Peep even through all there drama/beef makes my heart melt. Ski is one of the most intelligent and loved artist, we must protect him at all costs🤍 LLJW LLJ LLP
It’s about TIME we had a new ski mask interview
where you been?

I ain’t seen u in a minute where u been🥺
I miss you man. Don’t ever leave us again.

“I got both my brothers looking down on me up in heaven” you damn right they are ski..
“So ski, we made you a bracket.”
Ski: “ok, ok!”
*first bracket is shown*
Ski: “cmon bruh”
It’s so sad hearing him say “our era” cuz there won’t be anymore days with x and ski, or ski and juice no more. It’s genuinely heartbreaking :(
the era of the old underground rappers have all become legends, now it's up to the new generation

he needa do a full no jumper interview ASAP
@@biggroceriers7285 fax
I'm happy to hear he's got three projects coming out noon waiting for him to drop another banger
right
X all the way and he wasnt done progressing. He is so talented
When X died SoundCloud just felt different
I like how ski, juice, and x were all equivalent
Yeah but that was a messed up question
Ye
X was the best one
@Aisha Mohamed get u outta here
I feel so bad for Ski and Trip. Bless them
his voice is so comforting to hear tbh
You should hear it in person not now but it use to be raspy ass hell but he got his voice back .
Facts, I don’t even know what I’d do if my boy were taken outta this world
makes me bust
@@bowskee ⁉️⁉️
@@bowskee same 😩
The host was mispronouncing x's name so much I started thinking it was intentional
deadass “X-X-TEN-SHEE-OWN”
XXXintentional
Ski's wordplay and flows are insane it kinda pisses me off that he is so under appreciated in the rap game
Ikr
Ski is so underrated man
or he just hasnt dropped an album in 3years...
👌
hhh he was underated as hell even when X blew up
@@hhh-ch8ho what he gonna drop a album after his 2 of his friends just died?
@@TOPFLO0RBOSS you expect someone to be known for doing absolutely nothing?
Damn, just thinking that in the top 4 only Denzel is Alive 😔😔
@ХХХTENTACION yo its xxxtenacion dammnnn woah
Ifkr bro🥺
If zel dies idk what im doing bruh
feels weird
Only one that is responsible and smart
You can tell his in voice he loved x so much..love you ski..and rip to the legends...
Respect to Denzel, he stayed in with the final 4 when 3 of them are Skis best friends who have died.
Denzel was also close with Ski at one point
peep was not ski best friend lol
Ski: *Soon as june hits...*
*June arrives.*
Ski:
Edit 1 month later: LES GOO JUNE 25TH
sh
Fr though
💀💀💀
Bruh give him time lmao
@@noahalkema8214 Yeah like cmon guys give him 5.6 × 10^7 years for him to release his next album… Be patient, gosh
Complex outta pocket for this smh why y’all set Ski up like that.....
Fr
facts smh
?
I think ski knows that this is bigger than his emotions. It’s not a set up cuz he def knew it would happen before the interciea
its just a really bad coincidence that all the top soundcloud rappers were tight w ski like that. i woulda had pump vs purp and trippie vs 69 for match ups instead tbh
X is the GOAT. He mastered every genre and says a lot when his contemporaries looked up to him and even tried to replicate his sound. RIP
X definitely had potential and he is the goat of soundcloud but he didnt master all the genres
def didn’t master every genre 💀
He was good but definitely not the goat
I mean, the host didn’t even gave a chance to trippie lol
He just threw him there and that’s it
It’s like Floyd vs my grandma
Ong Trippie is one of the best ones why tf would they match him against X in the first round 😂
he is not anywhere near in soundcloud era
It’s been a good minute since a seen ski
Facts
Fr
New music soon according to him, can't wait to hear it.
Y’all hear new Bugatti
When ski mask shouted out Wintertime my heart filled with happiness. WE NEED THE GOAT BACK
Cant wait until he comes back
where tf is he
frfr
Low-key, y'all did my mans so foul lol Stokely a champ for sticking with it.
Danggg shit sad Manz really said “from the beginning to the end” 😔
No one beats their friendship, if anyone think they do then they r a - 🤡
protect ski at all costs.
We know we've been saying that since juice died
Honestly X is the greatest artist to come out of SoundCloud. Most talented too. After him is either juice or Uzi (tho I prefer juice)
Denzel best artist out of soundcloud
I kno some wouldn't know Black Kray, GTBSG/SBE, and Cartier God influenced some of these Soundcloud rappers
@jamnik even if it wasn't for the Raider Klan, they still would be a thing 'cause there's many to be influenced at.
agree but x don't got the best music unfortunately, so much lost potential
@@Alex-kh8zj i agree... he didn't have enough time to really master each sound he started ):, so much potential taken away shit sucks.
X, Juice & Peep should still be here bro. Shit makes me sad everyday.
X, Juice, Peep, and ski were the SoundCloud GOAT's
And uzi
It really had to come down to X and Juice though, I will throw in Uzi and Peep as 3rd and 4th but when it comes down to the most iconic/best Soundcloud rappers, it's always gonna be X and Juice.
I respect it💕
Fax. Ain’t no other way
I don’t think juice was very SoundCloud era, I feel like SoundCloud was definitely on the decline when Juice was blowing up. Personally I think X 1st, Peep 2nd, Uzi 3rd, and Juice 4th. Peep was definitely a iconic rapper from the SoundCloud era and played a pivotal role in shaping the sound/scene at da time. If we’re talking Soundcloud i think juice is more of a UA-cam rapper than anything wit lyrical lemonade videos shaping his career
As a huge fan of both, X is comfortably first when it comes to that era.
@@yungwxiner4226 yeah you make some really good points and I agree. X is definitely number 1 and Peep and Uzi are the next in line
can't wait to see that mixtape and future projects.
We're not gonna act like they're lowkey not trying to create beef with his choices
before watching the video i already knew the final will be X and Juice
Crazy how 3 of the rappers here were close to ski and they aren’t here anymore rip X, rip peep, and rip juice 🙏
@@nemodollaz4120 I’m talking abt the ones the passed away
@@nemodollaz4120 LMAO
They on Top 4.
Bro I love ski he seems to be so happy expressing himself
X will win it all in Skis eyes.
But Pouya, Fat Nick should’ve been in here. Ghostmane, Shakewell. Germ. Bones. There’s so many more people. Tank head. Craig Xxen. So many.
Exactly bro, Uno and Fauni too
Yung lean, Oliver Francis, Night Lovell, clams casino, so many more, they went full normie with this list
@@lil10dot true sure did
nah they don't have the pull these guys do.... woulda ended the same way
omen xii
“From the beginning to tha end!”
The fact the he was/is lowkey close to most of them is crazy. Most of that era literally rose together.
i can relate to this vid, thank god i was listening to all these artists in the sound cloud era and not the tik tok music era
xxxtentacion & ski mask the slump god are my favorite duo !!!!
The best.
Yeah man mine too
Ski energy is unmatched 😂❤️
Ski is one of the most likable people ever ❤️
i think soundcloud is just hitting a phase 2 comeback with these new underground artists
real shit
no cap
like who? put me on im not in touch with soundcloud since x died
@@Felix-nz1ll summrs, auntumn!, bk the rula, kankan, baby santana, ssg kobe is ones i listen to from the new wave 💯
auntumn! * my bad
If Ski mask, Denzel Curry, $uicideboy$ collab in this year it will be great year in time man.
Imagine if tiktok was a thing back in soundcloud era 💀
vine
It technically did lol with musically
@@anthonynazaradeh1909 Vine was just skits. Not a lot of songs blew up from there. Tiktok is similar it's not exactly the same as Vine.
@@RoyalTy37 There wasn't any rappers that blew up from musically in the soundcloud wave.
@@RoyalTy37 Tiktok is more popular than musically ever was. Musically was for teens but for tiktok it's mostly for anyone.
Respect good to see you speak out SKI stay blessed
It is crazy to think that 3 of the final 4 have passed away. RIP 🙏
His laugh brings me joy
For Trippie Redd, this was an unfair matchup 😂
He is trash he would lose anyway
I don’t think he’s trash, he just didn’t stand a chance against him.
@@cowcool201 trippie one of the best of all time
@@shawngregan766 nah you’re trippin man
@@cowcool201 he aint trash, i know you listened to him in 2018 its just a trend to call him that now
this was a cold ass video, awesome idea bro make more videos like this
From beginning to end 🖤
X was always on another type of level rip bro:')
Miss this man ski mask !
Hope he drops a project this year
Hes dropping a mixtape called sin city next month and made a song with chief keef and lil gnar
im hype for his new shit
I get that complex thought this was a fun little game but that shit was FUCKED UP this shit real life! Love goes out to ski and RIP all the true artists.
We ready for Ski album
Waterrrrrrrrr🌊 RIP JAH
never wanna say rip ski mask bro
insane bracket
How are you gonna talk about the “Soundcloud Era” and not even include Bones in the bracket or even mention him.
I’m sure there’s plenty of artist they could’ve included, but I think it’s because of the time of the vid, and other factors that played into it.
I don't consider bones a soundcloud rapper but I guess I can see what you mean
@@satyr9598 yeah that’s true, it’s just the fact that bones is a top tier pioneer from that era
@@ZaWRLD what would you consider him then?
@@doctorhewitt an emo rapper who was before the soundcloud era
xavier wulf hella underrated in soundcloud rap
my favourite on the bracket
Please do more of these
Always loving new ski mask content
X most definitely deserved the crown. from the very beginning that crown was his. I love all other artists on this list but X in my opinion was like the stepping stool they needed to reach the top. Everyone except maybe peep, peep was in his own lane aswell
I feel like Uzi was more original but X definitely deserves it. I think pretty much all of "emo" rap was so original in like 2017 and 2018
@@ZaWRLD i feel like bones should have been on this list
they got their styles, not based off x
i’m waiting on that album😫😫
i’m back 6 days later when ski said from the beginning to the end made me feel a feelinh
i miss wintertime ;(
love ski man, can’t imagine what he’s dealt with
SoundCloud still my era 💯💪🏽
so sad that 3 of the final 4 ain’t here with us today :(
Caribbean vibes at the end love it
Ski Mask is always smiling and laughing all the time I love it man making me smile ❤
sad to hear him saying “was” ab jah n juice 🙁 needa protect ski
I’m glad he’s still smiling, rip to three legends
Good to see Ski bro it feels like forever.
June Flight and June Ski🔥🔥🔥🔥
One of my favorite rappers 🖤
Rip x
Rip juice
Rip peep
