    I’m sold to the fact that whenever he looks away from the camera he’s looking at a Thesaurus to find more adjectives to describe the music.

      Well to be as consistent and concise as he is he would obviously have to script his videos, so it’s not impossible he’s used one before ^^

    I genuinely cried the first time I listened to this album. I come from a vastly different background and upbringing than Juice, but the themes of depression, anxiety, and substance abuse coupled with the fact that this was a posthumous release really got to me. I've had more than a handful of my own issues with mental illness and substance abuse, but I was fortunate enough to get sober at 21, only a few months older than Juice was when he died. When I listened, it was so easy for me to imagine drinking myself to an early grave instead of getting sober when I did. I guess I just kind of felt connected to a lot of this album in ways that I never would have expected, being that I'm not a rap fan at all outside of Juice. But I think that music is supposed to speak to us, and if we can empathize with something that we're hearing, that's great. Legends Never Die hit me like a truck, and I believe that it's absolutely what a posthumous album should be.

I'm not usually interested in this sub genre of hip hop.. etc... But I feel so connected to him. It might be the fact that I was at a really low point a few months ago that was a years long battle with depression that had me feeling suicidal on multiple occasions. And it still creeps in from time to time. But man I just love this album. There's a few songs I could leave, but overall I'm a big fan.

    You know the viewpoint that this is more of a final tribute-like album vs. people like me who aren’t full on fans of Juice who were expecting something different is a pretty good take. I think it’s good for those who loved his music and is a good send off, yet it is upsetting that for people like me he isn’t going to make something that I personally feel he’s capable of

    I love the album and all Juice albums and SC material as well as the leaks. It could be me being a major Juicewrld stan but I don't think he ever put out a bad song. Even his freestyles that are over an hour long are better than rap albums being dropped by so many of his contemporaries in my opinion. I think the label did honor to Juice by the inclusion of the talk about drugs even under the circumstances of his death because thats what he was talking about from the start and was a continuing theme in his life. I also think the way the album was laid out was a good tribute and memorial to juice with the The Man, The Myth, The Legend Interlude at the end of the album you also have 3 songs which follow suit to an extent about the respective titles. Out of the legends Juice was talking about on the song, if you count him amongst them I think the release of this project was handled in the best way in comparison to Lil Peep and Xxxtentacion. It's a sticky situation and a sensitive one and ultimately fans want to hear the music from artists they love even in their passing. On the other hand the music being released if not fully realized and finalized by the artist can come across as a money grab or commercialization that wasn't true to the artists work. Certainly there is a deeper discussion to be had here and I do not think all posthumous releases from Peep and X were bad but some of them have rubbed me the wrong way. One thing I think was handled perfectly because of his involvement with the music video was X's song Sad. It was quite literally prophetic and the timing seemed incredibly eerie but also seems quite clear its something X had worked on extensively both in the video and from his sentiments before he was killed. Also with Lil Peep the documentary about his life Everybody's Everything was an excellent tribute to Lil Peep but also showed fans another side of Gus behind the scenes and looked at the reality of the situation without overly showed glamorizing his life before and during his brief rise to fame. Of course there are more "Legends" in the rap game but much like 2Pac and Biggie have been considered the legends of the old guard of hip hop I think Juice, X, and Peep are the Legends of modern rap.
    Also a slight aside I think Mac Miller's album Circles was a fantastic album and very innovative and really showed the direction Mac's music was heading just based off Swimming alone. Pop Smoke also had a great posthumous release, a debut nonetheless, that although was heavily influenced by 50 and features I believe represented what Pop would have wanted based on the short time he was in the industry. I could go on and on about Nipsey, Bankroll Fresh, countless rappers specifically who have died so young and how their legacies have been handled but I'll just end it the same way as you did.
    Legends Never Die. Forever.

      Also a quick note about Righteous & Blood On My Jeans. Because these songs and many others were leaked and Juice livestreamed them while recording before their official releases it feels especially eerie. A few months ago I reposted a Juicewrld Righteous video on another platform from an old Juicewrld livestream and people reacted to it like he was still alive. The last time I checked a few weeks ago the video had a modest 16k views on it. I'm not typically the kind to repost livestreams or pictures of artists I like but I have noticed a trend especially in the wake of X, Peep, and Juice where people start these fan accounts on pages like instagram entirely devoted to one artist and they post every picture they can find and rack up hundreds of thousands of followers and likes. That's something that can rub me the wrong way sometimes as well as it seems some of these pages really wanted to start a way to honor these artists while others are copy cats chasing clout to promote their own music or boost their own careers. Its just such a bizarre dynamic where most fans get an extra layer to the feeling of knowing an artist from their phone screens and never get a chance to see them live in person at a show. Then in their passing when a new picture drops you have never seen of that artist it almost feels like its new and that they are still alive. Extrapolating from this phenomenom along with the lyrical content of these 3 artists I can look back and see why Pac and Biggie lived on so much through their music after death even though their coverage was mostly on TV. It will be strange to see someone like Snoop Dogg pass who has been popular since his Murda Was the Case film and public television trial and coverage on TV to now being as relevant as ever on social media. Snoop is an artist that is really cross generational from the old guard and has continued to thrive and see massive success as a music artists in this new age of connection.
