Juice WRLD releases posthumous album… and Eminem scores collaboration with Kid Kudi

Legends never die begins with the narco self-awareness very clear...

Takin' all these meds to the face got me flying
Takin' all these meds to the face got me dying

("Taking all these meds is making me fly, taking all these meds is killing me"; Juice WRLD on Conversations)

….and does not abandon her at any time. The album is pure dope. apology for them. The ones that killed Juice WRLD.

One week after release of Pop Smoke's posthumous album, (and a few months after XXXTentacion and Mac Miller's album) Juice WRLD's turn has come with the release of Legends never die. And last but not least, Eminem has joined the party twice this magical Friday, July 10: in addition to participating in one of the disc's interludes (and incidentally returning the collaboration of Godzilla), Marshall Mathers has marked a collaboration with Kid Kudi in The adventures of Moon Man & Slim Shady. And all this, without having yet had time to assimilate the magnificent Shoot for the stars, aim for the moon by PopSmoke. We have one of the strangest years left in the world of mainstream rap; the records are piling up on us. deaths too.

I just told y'all my secret, yeah
It's tearing me to pieces
I really think I need them
I stopped taking the drugs and now the drugs take me

Juice WRLD's posthumous album breaks Genius

Paradoxically, both Pop Smoke and Juice WRLD have hundreds of songs that we will surely discover over the years. It happened 25 years ago with the murder of 2Pac and now it's happening with Mac Miller, XXXTentacion and so many others: For the truly great, death is not reason enough for the music to stop. The best is yet to come.

Like it happened to Pop Smoke, Juice WRLD death took too soon. The also deceased very young legend called to revolutionize the panorama of hip hop (he was not murdered, but died of an overdose) has made an album with 21 cuts and a title that lives up to the legacy that he did not have time to leave us: Legends never die. Although practically all of the TOP 10 of Genius is today taken over by users who are consulting the lyrics of the album, position 1 has been for the song by Kid Kudi and Eminem (second of the previews of Kid Kudi's next work).

The first time we had the opportunity to hear Juice WRLD's voice again after his sudden death from an overdose at the Chicago airport was on Eminem's new album, Music to be murdered by y, more specifically, in court Godzilla. Coincidences of life, today Eminem has also presented a song with Kid Kudi in which he reviews some of the hottest issues of the moment, even mentioning the death of George Floyd.

Both for their collaborations and for their theme, legends never die It is a very continuous album with the Juice WRLD sound: Trippie Redd, Marshmello, Halsey, Polo G and The Kid Laroy accompany a string of songs in which Juice, for example, even says that he no longer takes drugs, but that he drugs take him (Wishing well), or that he has been getting high to combat sadness and anxiety.

As it happens with Shoot for the stars aim for the moon by Pop Smoke, hearing Juice WRLD ask God for help is as chilling as hearing that Pop Smoke is going to kill anyone who gets in his way. Posthumous records have this.

Boring disclaimer and off we go: Juice WRLD has released an entire album dedicated to drugs. There isn't a song that doesn't talk about codeine, pills, or "eyes the size of planets." It is worth considering to what extent this is responsible. To what extent the teenage kids (most of Juice's fans) will be clear about the message that, at the end of the party, the kid died of an overdose.
