"Drugs are for two things- to keep you alive, or to kill you." -Joe Budden Damn real shit. One of the most logical things I heard Joe say on this show

Joe dropped some MAJOR knowledge on here rip peep

wasn't even a fan, but when he started reading the instagram post, i started tearing up. I understand. and Badu is right, the older generation hasn't fully understood the effects of civilization today on younger folks. ppl are in REAL pain, especially the young, and they're desperate. they're yearning yet hopeless at the same time. RIP Lil Peep.

everyone's telling me life's short but I want to die..

For anyone who didn't know, Lil Peep did not do drugs because of this "rap culture" he did drugs to escape from his depression, he clearly had serious mental health issues, RIP Lil Peep, you helped me so much :(

Peep didn’t take drugs cuz of the rap culture he took that shit cuz he was legitimately depressed and sad about shit

say what you want but joe kicked the knowledge in this one.

Thought Joe was smoking a blunt at first lol

RIP Lil Peep

Our generation has been left in the dust. We cry out for help, our humor is so dark to where jokes about wanting death in depressive states are normal. We're anxious about the future - how we'll chase the American Dream and if such a thing is attainable anymore. We're going to be in debt as a result of academic inflation as poor public school systems altered by old men and women from 3 generations ago fail us intellectually. We feel responsible for changing the political turmoil in our country. The globe could give out thanks to capitalist greed. Previous generations didn't care because they didn't know. Ignorance is bliss but ignorance is hard to enjoy when the world and all its problems are resting at your fingertips. We tell our parents and they throw it away as weakness or being ungrateful; too sensitive apparently. Of course, we're too sensitive for people who didn't have that many things to be sensitive about as a child. They tell us we complain too much even though there's clear evidence of our reasons. Adults today have wisdom from the past but they haven't experienced what it's like to be a teenager today. Shit is stressful and overwhelming. This is beyond words.

Joe: “Fuck all these niggas I dont give af about any of these niggas” Also Joe: “I love yall” Lmaooo

joes that uncle that exposes his hard drug use in the cook out lool

Do you trust your drug dealer? That’s some real shit.

I didn’t listen to his music but this is truly sad to here R.I.P. you will be missed

People aren’t taken serious about their problems with depression because everybody thinks it’s a fucking trend. People claim they’re depressed because they have first world problems and they don’t know how to deal with it. People do it to get attention thinking it’s fine but it isn’t because people who actually suffer from depression and try to talk about it are taken as a fucking joke. Stop making depression seem like it’s cute.

Ericka baduh look like she has a string of cheese dangling from her lip LMAO

He was just making art to portray his life. Not promoting drugs. He had everything he wanted and he still wasn’t happy. It’s devastating.

Peep has helped me through depression I've been fighting for years and still to this day. I'm crying again everytime I realize he's gone. He will always be remembered rest in peace

I hear voices in my head, they tellin' me to call it quits I found some Xanax in my bed I took that shit, went back to sleep They gon' miss me when I'm dead, I lay my head and rest in peace

Erykah talks a lot, but doesn't end up saying anything even remotely coherent.

"Still straight with the weed and the liquor these days, because the new drugs got the kids tripping these days" - Reverend Aubrey D. Graham

He wasn’t taking fentanyl pill, he took bunk Xanax a fan gave him, That was cut with fentanyl. There’s a thread on reddit about the girl (fan) who gave it to him. She deleted all of her social media. It’s honestly so sad, lil peep was my favorite artist. Rip PEEP💔

man eeeeverybody is a fan of peep all of a sudden

don't let anyone bully you into believing his death is funny,not important, or okay. this precious man is gone forever. his life meant so much to so many people. rip to peep you WILL be missed so much bby

Unleaked info - 1) He took over 20 xans a day 2) He didn’t know his dealer laced his xans 3) his dealer is currently in custody 4) All his recent photos on insta have something to do with death or dying in the caption for months.

Please understand "Alcohol" is a drug as well. Actually the most addictive and abused drug overall. The difference is that it has a "govt" seal on it.

"The whole world is in a place where we need some kind of coping mechanism." Damn. True.

PEEP: "I'm dying, I won't last much longer" Y'ALL "Yass peep" -dies Y'ALL: ...OMG... who knew??

Yo!! This nigga died fuck, I thought he was gonna put out more bangers & to think he died when he was flourishing, R.I.P love my nigga Peep.

For a whole 6 minutes I thought that dude was smokin weed but it’s incense 💀

he didn't commit suicide his Xanax was laced and the girl who supplied it was arrested

People saying that hip hop didn't contribute to this is lying to themselves. He constantly cried out for help and fans just go "oh yeah hes on drugs thats just lil peep" or whatever. It's not just the glorification its obviously mental health issues (I know because i have them) but the culture is defintely fucked and this happens as a result.

Erykah Badu & Joe Budden Dropping Some Gems.

I woke up to the news...went back to sleep because I didn't believe it... Woke up and it was real...rip peep

I cried watching this, I still can’t believe this is real 💔 RIP Gustav 🖤

My life doesn't feel complete anymore knowing Lil Peep died early.. it aches like I knew him personally 😭

We all got a lil peep inside us, nothing to lose just waiting for death to creep up. Gotta live it up till it's gone!

Damn, sad as hell to see Peep go. R.I.P. to an innovator. On a happier note, Erykah Badu swaggy af.

If u watch this high you know what erakah badu is talking about

“I have a feeling Im not going be here next year, so let’s laugh a little before I’m gone”

i have a lot more respect for joe cuz this episode. he spoke a lot of real shit today

He never glorified the use of drugs he simply rapped about his experiences in life which is what ALL artists do. Most of his songs were him talking about how depressed he was and his drug use, not about how good they made him feel. These people haven’t even listened to the mans music and still give their “educated” opinion on it. RIP lil peep the music lives forever

Erykah: “The air is not very clean, what are are absorbing is toxic” Joe: *lets his incense smoke blow in her face*

y’all need to give akademics a raise.

Nobody learned from Yams let alone all the other dudes who sadly passed away. Idk dudes upbringing but alot of yall kids aint going through shit and wanna pop pills and sip cause its cool, stay away.

why is joe casually holding up some incenst

I love how budden understood that the Xanx was laced.

its a fucking shame. a million overdosed on cut xanax . fentynl laced xan killed 5 people from my hometown just this year. same shit killed prince. who tf is these peoples plug. this is disgusting. rip lil peep. he's too talented to have gone this soon

This is why I listen to NF, Joyner Lucas, and Hopsin. All drug-free and speak on this kind of shit.

Just smoke weed kids 😕, RIP LIL PEEP

this world is ending... rip lil peep.

Lil Peep was not mentally ill he was depressed and in a bad mental state and began self medicating his pain with more and more dangerous pills. Everyone who actually fucked with Lil Peep was aware of this but it seemed so normal and we became dumb to his pain. Rip Lil Peep thank you for helping me and so many others get through are roughest nights. Pls just smoke weed kids rip legend.

i understand what youre saying about mixing drugs, but this has nothing to do with that. it has to do with some shady chick that gave him fent-laced xans just so she could hang out with him. so fucking selfish. i hope she gets arrested.

Joe budden always speaks real shit when it comes to shit like this

rip gustav åhr, fly high . gone but never forgotten . i love you and i miss you . 😔💔

Lil peep changed the way I saw music. A fucking legend. So unexpected, and now its hard for me to find a reason to live when people come and go maybe its time for me to go.. Rip bro

I’m not trying to be edgy and I know he just passed but you can hear how slow he was from the drugs in the videos. I understand he was addicted and I am not arguing with that, addiction is pain. I know. BUT, Lil Peep should live as an example that abusing drugs kills. Drugs kill. Drugs make you slow. How mentally challenged do you have to be to realize that at this point? People in this very comment section are in denial about the danger of abusing drugs.

R.I.P Legend Peep

Have to be honest, I never heard of youngsta, but RIP. Sad when smoking trees ain’t enough anymore. 💯

Rip peep but nobody else see that long ass ramen noodle coming out that lady mouth ? 😂😂

People like No Jumper/Adam22 are in a position of influence for a whole group of young artists - lets hope they uses that position to help them make good decisions. Lil Peep was just a kid really, and sadly the people around him weren't watching out for him enough, but many of them will now gladly make money from his image. People who are are in a position to help artists and the culture - lets hope that's what they do. The ones who are pushing this garbage need to start being called out though.

Erykah was preaching that divine knowledge

badu is so damn fly wtf, rip peep

I didn’t even know peep personally But I related to his music on so many levels his music helped me get through so much it really feels like I lost a part of my self. Rip lil peep You will be missed

`xans gone take you

REST IN PEEP

I cant believe I skipped over this 2 years ago, Joe and Erykah Badu said things that make a lot of sense to me today

I miss him every day

One of the better episodes on this show. Sad it had to have a death tied to it for them to actually speak on real shit.

I guess we just gonna forget Asap Yams huh rip mob

Without a peep You were going to change the game, Unrivaled to be showered in fame, Passion flowed through every verse, Always pulling people up at their worst. So young, creative, and free, A true vision in music you could see, You will be loved and missed, As you sail through the black abyss. Your pain gone you answered your own plea, People pathetically asking how could this be, No more suffering, you went easy in your sleep, Not one goodbye, you left without a peep. R.I.P. LILPEEP

i’m still so upset and heartbroken. i’ll love him forever

That's the longest AK has ever spoken before joe yelled at/ interrupted him lmfaoo

Perfect example of why you shouldn't do drugs. RIP to the man though... I really liked his music

She drooling cuh?

Joe actually made me cry. I actually loved what he said.

#Saynotodrugs honestly i feel like the healthiest way to cope with depression/anxiety is to meditate It's still a learning process for me but it'll help later on in life hopefully ppl should consider trying it even tho it might sound corny

thought that thing dangling was a booger bruh

People need to realize there’s a HUGE difference between promoting drug use and talking about your addiction and personal issues

RIP Lil Peep, we truly will miss him, he started a new wave, he needed help, I wish I could have spoken to him, I understand those feelings. Rest In Piece Lil Peep.

Joe articulate in the way he proposes his answers, truly a well spoken genius.

Honestly, it's so heartbreaking. Preventable deaths are just heart wrenching. Him being so young makes it even harder to swallow. Fentanyl is so dangerous just touching it can cause you to overdose. I think that he needed a lot of help and people failed him. It's heartbreaking.

This is by far the most logical, level headed and honorable breakdown of the issue at hand that I have seen since Lil Peep's passing. Much love to the Complex family for this.

nadeska's voice was trembling when she was talking about peep

This is crazy

Shiiit erikah is so well informed !!!!! Shes awoke level 100 bruh!!!!!!!

I miss lil peep please come back somehow please I LOVE YOU GUS

Bruh most of y'all didn't even now him and y'all in the comments like - RIP lil peep a fucking legend forever

Ak really drags on a response

"the world is different....oxygen wise" after lil peep died the world cant take it. rip peep.

Remember one night I went to Erykah Badu house, she made tea for me We talked about love and what life could really be for me She said, "when that shit is real, you just know" -Drake

And the most tragic thing is probably the hundreds of others who have done the same, stop promoting drugs🙏 r.i.p lil peep and all this other people🙏😔

Why is Joe budden just sitting there burning an incense stick?

RIP LIL PEEP. I listen to this music for the first time after seeing this post yesterday. I can only describe it as a beautiful Cosmic Trainwreck in slow motion that you cannot take your ears away from. He almost seemed like a martyr for his own style of music. I appreciate it.

Uzi also said “Xanni help the pain, yuh. Pleeasse Xanni Make it go away!”

RIP LIL PEEP

Joe knows his shit

My heart hurts!!! RIP lil peep!! ❤️

my heart hurts i miss peep so much. love live angel ♡

Erykah's wisdom is just another reason why I always loved her!!!
