Lil Peep Songs I Hate

 For the uninitiated, Lil Peep is my idol. I love him, and his songs - except for four of them, which I hate.

Now, there are Peep songs that are bad, but still fun to listen to, like "Drugz" and "Keep My Coo" (which I guess is technically a Trap Goose song, but whatever). Then there are these few songs that are just straight up bad. Let's begin.

First, we have two songs that are just terribly written, and which offer nothing of value:

Pussy

Junkie

I don't need to isolate any of the lyrics to summarise why and how they're bad - literally just listen to either of those songs at any timestamp and you'll get the picture.

How is this the man who referenced Macbeth?

I'm not the only one who thinks this isn't Nobel-prize-winning work:

There are also a couple of songs that are disturbing, and just straight up disappointing. They're uncharacteristic of the empathetic, (very-)left-leaning person he seemed to be, from the limited information I have on him.

This is the Peep I choose to know:

(Admittedly, this is a very low bar, but it shows that he had at least some human decency.)

And then there's the Peep who wrote...

Bitch Ima Kill You

OJ, I feel you

I'm 'bout to kill my bitch today

Before anyone (probably a man) points it out, yes, I understand the theme of the song, and that it's probably more about sex. And yes, I'm aware of the literary parallels between death and the orgasm. But I cannot listen to a song where he openly sympathises with a(n alleged) domestic abuser, and endorses domestic violence. It makes me feel sick.

In a less gruesome, but still distasteful vein, we have:

White Girl

This song is different to the others, in that it is officially released with his label (post-humously), and it is a song I actually listen to. I like the grungey, despondent beat and lyrics, with the exception of the lines:

I don't love her but I love how I feel

When I fuck her and she make me a meal

I don't think I need to explain why this is a disrespectful line. I've been told, on Tik Tok, to "get back in the kitchen" more times than I can count. 

What confuses me is that all his post-humous releases are, in part, controlled by his mother, who is very much a feminist. What went through her mind when she first heard this song from her son, whom she had raised a feminist too? I once asked this in the comment section of a photo of hers on Instagram, but got attacked by boys telling me to shut the fuck up and that "white girl" is a metaphor for cocaine like I didn't  know that and multiple layers of meaning can't coexist. I suppose that it is a bit ironic that I'm holding a woman accountable for the actions of a man. But the man is dead, so I can't ask him. 

4/300+ is pretty good, if you ask me.
