Animated music video of one of my favorite artist/inspirations XXXTENTACION. Turn on captions for lyrics!

Had soooooo much fun animating this and going back re watching his fun moments, while finding some new ones along the way. I also want to thank the man BLACKY SPEAKZ for introducing me to him. If it wasn't for blacky posting a small snippet of X's idontwannadothisanymore song in his X vs uzi video, I probably would not have gotten into X,since I'm the type where I don't go out of my way to look up a artist that people recommend(but from time to time I will now, but those lil snippets of songs helps).

This is also a thank you to other creators that help spread positivity and truth around his name and not just that but in the hip hop community as well.

Before X all I listened to was whatever popular on the radio, a random song on the internet or old music on my phone from years ago, so when I started listening to X other songs, I can't lie, I didn't like them but for some reason I kept going back to them and they eventually grew on me and I developed a connection with them.

There was an aura of mystery surrounding his style from the beats he found/produced, the cover pictures for his music, lil snippets into his views on the world/life, that I wanted to know more about him. I felt there was a deeper meaning to what he put out but I couldn't put it into words, until I saw MRAMAZING video talking about it and it really started to click for me.

Seeing his journey from who he was(violent, angry,wanting to die) to this person who found peace within himself,helping others,and wanting to live was incredible. I even saw bits of myself within X in which I'm sure others do with themselves and the views he had which made me feel incredibly sad that I won't see how much bigger and impactful he was going to be on the world.

Just seeing how knowledgeable,inspiration-able, and unapologetic he was to be himself thru interviews, ig lives, live performances, or stories told by others was a breathe of fresh air.

But even tho he's gone, he will still continue to inspire like other artists that passed to soon. To those who already know about him will keep his name alive, and pass on the positivity and knowledge that X wanted and even people who don't know anything about him will wanna know about this man when they get a chance to hear him like I have.

Long Live Jah
