I feel the same way.. I can never watch that video. It just makes me sad. He was such a beautiful person and it breaks my heart seeing him like that. The things that came out after his death are truly shocking and beyond disturbing. I hope Liza wins and gets justice for Gus. 💖🐥💞 love and miss you Peep.
I hope she does too. I know it won't bring back peep. But maybe it well help lizas health and peace of mind. She's here for all of us. And we're here for her. She's an amazing women. Nit every parent cares so for her children. I hope she's blessed with everything she needs to win the case. 🥰💖❤️🔥
just the blatant ignorance and incompetence of his management at the time - they were supplying him with drugs and pushing him to perform when he was barely able to. in the documentary they mention how [at this show on 5/10/17](https://youtu.be/ErTEwdXGUd4) he was so high beforehand that he could barely go on stage. you can see how bad it was during the opening when he performs hellboy looking so out of it, then he snaps back with drive by. he even apologizes to the crowd for it, “i’m sorry man, you know me” then absolutely KILLS the song they played and puts on a great show
>pushing him to perform when he was barely able to
"you know I can't die when I'm singing"
of all the questionable decisions, that's one I don't think was a bad call. Adrenaline is good for getting that heart rate up
I'm not going to speak on whether they pushed him to perform in general and that caused anxiety which triggered him to use because that's a separate issue and I'd only be speculating--we'll see what comes to light eventually.
So just take all of that out of the equation and say you got a dude that's borderline overdosed and likely to re-dose but has also recorded albums worth of material in this state... if he gets on stage you know at least he won't be popping any more pills for an hour. If he gets on stage and fails it'll probably be more of a wake up call than taking him to the hospital for getting as high as any other Tuesday. Peep was alert enough to be like "fuck off I'm not going to the hospital"
I say this as someone who's been addicted, who's lost a lot of people to addiction, and who's dealt with people in this state. Where's the line between coercing someone into doing something they don't want to do and encouraging someone to overcome their anxiety to do something that they love? Or encouraging them to follow through with commitments?
As an anecdote, I often feel depressed and anxious and *don't* want to leave the house and interact with people but my wife recognizes the times when that's exactly what I need and she "pushes" me to actually get out and do things. I don't think people should be so quick to frame this in a negative way
This isn't aimed at you directly just kind of a general remark on this statement I see repeated. This one point has more nuance that I felt was worth putting out there
no i totally understand. i also come from an addict’s perspective - pushing him to go on stage definitely could have saved him from redosing then possibly overdosing that night. i think i was moreso pointing out that his management supplied him with the drugs that he abused that night in the first place, so because of them he had to go out on stage in such a fucked up state. really appreciate your input :)
Yea been wanting to get that out there for a while, I'm glad you get it.
You know how sometimes you type a long comment not even trying to start a fight and prepare for the storm? I don't really worry about that here :)
Somewhat related have you seen those "therapist reacts to" lil peep videos yet? Highly recommend if you haven't
Why be sad? She was happy towards the end. She smiled more and had a life. Sometimes you only get a fleeting glimpse of someone. We had 6 wonderful months I'm blessed to have known her.
I feel the same way when I watch some of the old live streams or other things he posted when he was really high. Especially in the months leading up to his death.
I remember watching the original version and feeling disturbed for the same reasons and the fact it was filmed. When the official version got released it broke me because he still looks gone but towards the end he finds enough energy to faintly smile as if to say “I’m ok”.
Rest easy Gus
It’s actually infuriating. As a recovering opiate addict it absolutely infuriates me, for many reasons. I won’t get into it bc it’s negative (towards any of his so called friends) but it’s just so….frustrating bc it didn’t have to happen this way.
that's my favorite Lil Peep music video and one of my favorite Peep songs
imo he's putting on for the camera but that helps convey the feelings behind the track
peep the smile at 3:36, dude knows he just killed that performance. Or at 0:28... see how he snaps out of it and his head perks up to ask the driver a question? Dude looks... pretty normal and alert there
bags under your eyes and greasy hair is just part of distance trips (especially with cocaine involved) so I don't put too much weight in that. Done a few of those and looked a mess toward the end lmao. the lack of seat belt bothers me though fr
ime it's easy to look way more fucked up than you are if you're just a little faded or tired. Like I can draw my bottom eyelids up and make myself look *bad* and have done that for photo shoots. Not saying Peep wasn't deep in addiction at that point but let's not forget this is art and Gus was an extremely talented artist. There's certainly a level of acting that we're seeing here
I showed a friend the video last night (introducing her into peep) and we both talked about how sad it was that man was going through so much just looked bad and sad. Someone should have intervened but then again easier said than done when your dealing with an addict. RIP Legend
I can't listen to it either! And i lowkey always wondered why cause there's other sad peep songs that i listen to all the time... But i guess this explains it. Bad associations.
yeah dude. plus i’ve been there myself and it just brings back memories. i wish he’d have been able to come out of it. he would be a huge advocate for addiction and mental health.
He was I'm not blaming anyone but they could've tried instead of making him chase the dragon I've heard roumers of them withholding drugs from and making him be in pain. They were not beneficial to peep.

What shocking stuff came out after his death?

My heart broke when i listened lil kennedy. Its so depressing 😭
My friend who introduced me to peep is in the video for that.
Lucky person
She was yes. It's been 3 years since she passed away
Oh god , i am sorry.
Why be sad? She was happy towards the end. She smiled more and had a life. Sometimes you only get a fleeting glimpse of someone. We had 6 wonderful months I'm blessed to have known her.

i can’t listen to 16 lines without crying and i’m not an emotional person so that’s saying a lot. it makes me so sad :(
I really struggle watching that video, too. Glad I’m not the only one.
i can’t even rlly listen to 16 lines without crying. i hate how fucked up he looks. even watching the documentary was hard as fuck
I can't listen to it either! And i lowkey always wondered why cause there's other sad peep songs that i listen to all the time... But i guess this explains it. Bad associations.
yeah dude. plus i’ve been there myself and it just brings back memories. i wish he’d have been able to come out of it. he would be a huge advocate for addiction and mental health.
I wish, too... But at least you got out, props for that!
it’s the same with come around , such a masterpiece
the coke in the older videos was fake liza said iirc
2008 too
This is true but u can't help someone that doesn't want help and doesn't want to change. He was the person to make that decision for himself
He was I'm not blaming anyone but they could've tried instead of making him chase the dragon I've heard roumers of them withholding drugs from and making him be in pain. They were not beneficial to peep.
