Beethoven is a legend RIP

just like biggie smalls once said, "you're nobody till somebody kills you". its a perfect summary of what happens when you die. when you're alive nobody talks about you but when you're gone everyone all of a sudden misses you

having DOOM included in the "actual goats" part is a nice touch :) i love doom frfr

Eazy E was a true legend. Really took the rap game off with N.W.A and Boyz-N-The-Hood is still an absolute banger to this day, along with a lot of N.W.A song. RIP to all these legends

“This man went triple plastic” had me laughing way harder than it should have

Degenerocity showing love to David Bowie actually makes me happy.

I love Amy Winehouse. There's just no other artist that comes close to her music especially her iconic voice. I wonder what more she could bring with her talent if she was still alive. RIP

Chester Bennington from Linkin Park is a legend in my opinion, that was a celebrity death that hurt a bit during the 2016 celebrity death streak. The last Linkin Park album hurts a bit when you listen to him sing a message he couldn’t hear himself

people before rapper dies: wow this is trash people after rapper dies: HE'S A LEGEND RIP I WISH HE WAS STILL ALIVE I MISS U

There’s definitely a line between “legend” and “an artist with great potential”. I love Pop Smoke, like, way too much, but he only had 2 albums released while he was actually alive, the 2 posthumous albums are great too ngl. I wouldn’t say he’s a legend, but he had insane potential. Still one of my favorite rappers of all time

When it comes to X and Juice, I recently saw a clip of Trippy Redd saying that when it comes to him and his generation of music he's the only one left, since he blew up the same time as X and Juice and that actually made me feel sad for him

Prince, MJ, Tupac, Biggie, David Bowie, Kurt Cobain, Freddy Mercury, Chester Bennington, X , Amy Winehous they all are THE legends

Finally bruh someone said it tired of not being able to criticize someone's music just cause they died

Freddie Mercury had one of the best voices and his band made some of the best melodies in history. Rest in Peace.

Peter Steele was a absolute Legend in the metal Gothidelic community he passed away in 2010 from heart issues. He had the most amazing bass singing I have heard. He has imspired me to sing, play, and write music like he did.

To me a legendary artist is someone who came into the game and not only made their own lane but also changed the way future artists approach the craft. Legendary artists have a way of being authentically themselves to the point of being highly influential while also fitting in with what is hot atm. These people make waves that change currents

Man, David Bowie is my personal legend. I wasn't expecting to see him being brought up, not at all.

The thing about Juice too is that he has a lot more hype songs then people think. he’s not always sad and depressed like people always say.

"this man went triple PLASTIC" LOL

What I wish is that more people could listen to more juice wrlds music. Everyone knows all his songs that blew up that sound like middle school heartbreak music, but beneath the surface he’s actually an amazing rapper.

I feel like a lot of what makes an artist a legend isn’t just what they did music wise but as a person as well. Like Muhammad Ali and Tupac. They did so much outside of boxing/music for their community. And that’s why they’re legends

Thank you mr degenerocity for blessing us with another classic

I’ve never related to a video more, you literally took the words out of my mouth like literally. Its mind boggling how you also don’t fw lil peeps music but still respect his death, just like me, especially being that falling down is the only song with lil peep I can tolerate🤣🤣

Fuck yeah. Giving’ Bowie the appreciation he deserves. Did not expect that one, but you’re spot on. LEGEND.

This man is a certified hood classic

When Mac Miller died, I had never heard anything by him before, and my college roommate said “Let’s have a Mac Tribute Concert” so we just listened to a bunch of Mac Miller for the day and I was hooked instantly. Man is my favorite artist of all time now and it hurts so much that I can never see this man perform live or hear anything legit new from him. RIP MAC 💜

i wish one day juice's label will release all his bangers (the ones which aren't usually sad)

"They never thought I would get them rackkss"had me on the floor😂

I think the title of “Legend” should be reserved to those who left a mark in their respective genre, and the mark in turn influence multiple new artist. People who pass away recently are just too new and we don’t know of the aftermath of their death for a while.

Didn’t expect David Bowie to be in this video. He truly was a great artist and I remember listening to his songs with my mom when I was 10. Good memories

I like the videos where he’s a lil more chill and gets real cuz it feels like your talking to a friend about som shi yk

I'm a year late, and I never comment on videos, but l love your videos and I'm grateful that you mentioned Bowie, he isn't remembered as much as he should be and was the greatest rockstar of all time in my opinion, so thank you for that degen!

I feel like a legend is someone who genuinely impacts the music genre they make

The term “legend” has definitely been thrown around a lot to the point where the meaning isn’t as impactful but I think something that’s really important to consider is the impact the artist made. You don’t need to like someone’s like peep’s music but the impact he made was undeniable. Peep, X, Juice, Uzi, etc. basically formed the new gen. In fact Juice WRLD even admitted that peep was one of his biggest inspirations.

I didnt listen to melodic rap when x and juice died. But juice had music so touching and it reached so many people that it finally got to me. And even i gotta say its fire. Juice is absolutely up there with some of the best rap artisits in history.

Nah this was funny asf I love when ppl flame other peoples favourite rappers and I get it’s a joke which for me makes it even more funny. I’m a juice fan and when he said the Bart thing I couldn’t stop laughing W vid

Mac Miller's music has definitely resonated with me on a pretty deep level. Though not necessarily listening to his music before his passing, so I don't have much of an emotional connection to him as a person, I was able to really connect with how he feels on LPs like Circles and Swimming. I don't know if he's a legend or anything, but he's definitely an artist that has defined a low era in my life.

I think everyone agrees MJ is a legend

There needs to be a 2nd part to this video. Celebrating the music of the gone is just so captivating.

Thank you for mentioning Bowie, what an actual legend may he rest in peace.

Miki Matsubara is a good artist, though not many people know of her other than her song “Stay With Me”. Her final thoughts on her own career only fill me with sadness because yes she made music but she felt like she wasted her life making it instead of seeking more from it. May she Rest In Peace, and may all these artists Rest In Peace.

Love to hear about music you love! David Bowie was an absolute legend indeed. You don't have to just talk about rap and shit tho lol, it's cool to hear something different

David Berman is one of my favorite musicians. He drew me into more indie type music. I started listening to his music after his death but it's still really impactful for me. Purple Mountains was an excellent album and i hope his music can be remembered for years to come.

I consider Nujabes a legend. His music was so damn relaxing & showed me a new side of hip-hop I never knew existed. He died in a car accident twelve years ago, but his music still goes hard. Luckily, all the rappers he collabed with are alive, I think, & I've heard some good tracks from them.

I think that an artist's music becomes legendary when it ages well. Everybody including myself would recognize a 2Pac song, I can't say the same for these guys nowadays.

3:52 i know there was like a 1 second clip here that was like "THAT *nword SUCKS", did smokepurrp copyright you or some shi and got rid of dat or was it demonization

Freddie Mercury 😢 i wish he was still alive that he could make definetaly legendary music to this day. Rest in piece our Legend our Queen...

I know this is somewhat off-topic, but the point you make about artists’ deaths at the beginning of the video reminded me of this. I still remember the day Chester Bennington (Linkin Park lead vocalist for those unaware) died by suic*de. It was the first time a celebrity death really hit me. It didn’t feel real at the time. I didn’t even know this guy, yet I was devastated when I heard the news. He was one of the most influential vocalists of the 21st century, not just in heavy metal, but in all of music in general. His band left an impact on culture that few people are able to. I don’t like everything he made, and his death didn’t change that, but now I look back on even the less great stuff more fondly. I’ll never forget the impact his work had on my teen years. Even after nearly 5 years, the world still misses him. Rest In Power.

RIP Tchaikovsky. His Album “The Nutcracker” is just banger after banger

MF DOOM'S death was one of the worst tragedies of 2020. Rest in peace DOOM.

Finally I'm so glad someone covered this.

It feels weird that almost half a decade has passed since Chester Bennington’s passing, whilst I still feel dissatisfied with how the last Linkin Park album was… I hope at least some of the wounds have healed to the rest of the group.

The Fact You Gave David Bowie Credit Is Awesome, A Lot of people don't give him the credit he deserves

I think Ariel Camacho, Vicente Fernandez, Joan Sebastian, Juan Gabriel, Valentin Elizalde and Chalino Sanchez are true legends in the Mexican music industry

I see what you mean but the three you put on the thumbnail were legends

To me Jimi Hendrix will always be a legend. He only lived for 27 years and was able to become arguably the greatest guitar player ever. RIP Jimi Hendrix

to me Chester from Linkin Park was a legend, and his death really broke me as someone who was struggling mentally back then. His songs got through many 00 kids' tough days, may he rest in peace

when X died I started listening to him shortly after his death and then I became a Juice fan so quick the same year (2018). Juice made “Legends” the song just after I became a fan of him and then on 2019 he died so for me he is just some inches below X in the legends ranking and I love both of their music. I really I’m grateful of becoming a fan of Juice before his death and right now I appreciate more truly great rappers and artists music because of them.

A band I listen to a LOT called Hers recently took over my playlist because of how unique their sound was. So I think you can imagine how I reacted when I learned that they died a few years back. I realized that there was never going to be any music from them, which I guess you could say about any artist that dies, but for them, it hit different. I cannot describe how much I recommend them. I would consider them legends gone way too soon.

personally MF DOOM was the hardest for me to deal with as i really resonated with his music and his mad villian album specifically, truely one of the GOATS undoubtedly

Degenerocity is going to be a legend

Not the sad trumpets from Boondocks. Nice touch. Your perspective on rap beef brought me here.

the little peep part got me rolling on the floor😭😭

For me Kurt Cobain is a legend. Nirvana may just be some of the best music I've heard in my life. You can say it's weird, depressing or different, but for me that is what makes Nirvana special.

i think juices musics quality depends on the state of mind while listening.like if ur going through depression or heartbreak it appeals more.But x is a serious legend

Aviici was incredible, loved his music when he was alive but I discovered I knew more than i thought i did of his catalogue when he passed

As a huge Peep fan, I respect your opinion. Peep made music for a specific audience, not so much mainstream

MJ was a true legend. He made super influential music that generations to come will love. I truly believe hes a true legend

X is no doubt the biggest legend in todays generation i remember finding him back in 2015 and till this day his music is the only music that can reach me like that in a hype or in a sad way. what he has done was real versatile art of music. and dont even let me start with him as a person. irreplaceable artist for me

the thing about x that sets him apart is that he died at the absolute height of his popularity. I still remember his question mark album coming out and getting really into x and hearing everyone talk about him. And then one day, when x was currently the artist i was listening to most at the time, he just dies. It came out of nowhere when he was at his peak so it just hits harder.

There are only three Legends who made something about music, Mozart, Beethoven and Bach. RIP for these three OG's 😪

Micheal Jackson was the king of pop and still remains the king of pop Potential war zone in the replies?

A main reason for juice also being a lenged is just his ability to freestyle it was insane

what made me respect juice wrld a lot is once I got into his unreleased music it made me realize how much of a generational talent he was.

For me Kurt Cobain changed music for me forever. Goes to show how technical skill is not a necessity for great music and it’s how it makes you feel. Kurt was a legend and changed music forever. Weirdly enough Kurt was pretty technical in using non harmonic tones. He uses them to resolve and build tension better than anyone imo.

i got my respect on mf doom, 2pac, biggie, MJ, And afew others, they all legends for real im my eyes, and may they rest in piece.

I’m 23 and my aunt was is a big Bowie fan and we both cried listening to his last album right after he died. Learned a lot of his songs on guitar

The thing abt juice is that his fan base and discography are so saturated with his post death fans and songs that it takes away from how special he was while he was alive. As a Chicago native and long time fan of juice I would say that his raw talent and ability was special. I’ve been to hip hop concerts but juices hit different and I’ve been saying that since the day I went. Like x is to you juice is similar for some who knew his music well while he was alive.

Freddie Mercury, Michael Jackson, and Prince… those guys were true legends. And for all you metalheads out there, even though he wasn’t with us very long, the legendary bassist Cliff Burton. RIP.

I've been a huge jw fan throughout the years and i can say that his label did him dirty. Everyone says he only makes sad shit because that is literally the only thing his label let him drop. He got so many hype hard songs in the vault, it's crazy, and his music catalog is even crazier. And because of that, everyone outside of his loyal fanbase see him as a sad emo kid that is heartbroken forever. WIsh more people would see his other side. He hard asf

Favourite artist that has passed is easily Freddie Mercury. He is the king of rock. I wish he could’ve lived longer so he could just how much of a lasting impact his songs made.

10:26 straight up flames 🔥🔥🔥 he about to go octouple Galactic with this one 🗣🅿️

Nujabes is a good example of a dead artist that might not be as remembered as some more mainstream names but his influence on hip-hop and his pioneering of the Lofi genre makes him a legend to me.

Tupac/ Makaveli (June 16, 1971 - September 13, 1996):mOk even though I wasn't born when Tupac was big, I love that man. From the digital underground 'I Get Around' to my favorite of all time 'Brenda Got a Baby'. I can name so many songs. All true I really don't care for the older people who hit me with "what you know about his music", I took the time to analyze his music and grew fond of it. All I really gotta say. Love that man, as he expanded my taste in music

As of the time this comment is made, there are over 3,000 unreleased songs from Juice Wrld and not even 500 of them have been revealed to his community, myself included. The reason why I like to view him as a legend is that he had a passion for music that he is confirmed to have made over 3,000 songs, and not like every other artist in the music industry who has a dilemma over the few songs they’re yet to release. On top of all this, the secret to his stream of songs is his ability to freestyle and come up with lyrics in the second of a thought which he just puts in the song. Dude was attached, music was his life, he was his own music. He was super young with a depressing ass life and if he was still alive, he could be signing so many records for songs that he had made years earlier, making bank off his unreleased for possibly the rest of his life. But we know he wouldn’t stop there, he’d just continue writing more songs, possibly more than any artist ever in existence. Listening to some of his unreleased and posthumous songs just makes you wish in 2024 that he was alive and well. The shit he went through was real too, and the dedication and motivation of the songs were his life. A little profane but it just hit a new note each time. Juice is a legend of the rap community, no further questions asked. That name will be immortalized once those unreleased songs come to light. Just hope he isn’t in a bad place.

He’s trying his best to respect the artist by saying “may Rest In Peace” so he won’t get alot of hate comments 😂

No one has reached MJ's level of fame and legendary status

Personally Juice is a legend for me, and he is my favourite artist. I also listen to peep, but he isn’t a legend, he has a couple really good songs but most of his catalog is mid-ok

If we're talking about legends, then I gotta talk about Chester Bennington, the lead singer of Linkin Park. Absolutely loved him and his voice and the music the band made. Each album was incredible and I miss their music to this day. I hope that others can agree too cause they've been around for ages and it's sad to see that they'll never be making music again. RIP Chester man

I think what made juice wrld considered a legend is his crazy ability of making songs in one take and freestyling for hours

Avicii is one of the biggest EDM artist ever and his death really affected me so much up to this day. Another one is SOPHIE, a real visionary, rest in peace queen.

Juice is in my personal top 10, dude was goated

Never thought Juice's music was amazing or anything i thought he was GOOD but thats it until i started getting into his unreleased songs and i'm just saying he would've been one of the best if he was here today the music he left behind that he hadnt released yet is so fire

Jimi Hendrix was probably the greatest rock guitarist of all time, I'm not a fanatic about his music, but his influence over the rock genre as a whole is greater than other any musician I know of. He's a legend in my eyes.

Fly high Beethoven 🕊️💖 You were the biggest legend of all time

That title for the video instantly brought Kurt Cobain to mind

Really wish most of juices catalog was released he really has some crazy stuff in the vault. Like so versatile and his abilities to make songs was actually insane. The way some of the biggest artist speak about him really makes it seem like he has some crazy skills that no generic rapper has.

The X death hit me so hard I clearly remember it was June 18,2018 on a Monday between early afternoon hours I was in the movie theaters watching Ms.Incredible with my friends and one of my friends told me during the movie that X got shot. All of us fw with X but I told myself he got shot he’s gonna be alright. After the movie ended, we all checked our phones and realized he died and we all sat/stood there like 15 minutes after the movie ended just shocked at the news. That shit is embedded into my mind, all 5-7 of us were in disbelief. Really sad to see the way he died too.

i subbed because you told me to eat my veggies, and only real homies look out for my health like that

David Bowie's influence spans genres and scenes. Listen to Rammstein, Till Lindemann's voice is very different than Bowie's but you can clearly hear some Bowie influence in there.
