Juice Wrld: The man The myth and The legend


The loss of a loved one cannot be avoided, in my opinion. The oddest of all feelings, loss strikes us on a deep level while being pushed upon us from the outside. Even though grieving is unavoidable and death is predestined, we can ultimately choose how we handle the passing of a loved one while we are still living. In doing so, we may make our lives count and motivates others.


Loss combines the most challenging and most wonderful component of being human. Why? Because of how much you love that person, the worse the loss is. The more we love, the more we grieve in a bizarre equilibrium. A life without loss is a life without love, so that love is worth it.

 

Early in December of 2019 Juice Wrld boarded a private plane for what would be his final flight before he passed away. For a man who celebrated life in and out of wax, it was a shattering conclusion. I distinctly recall the first time I heard Lucid Dreams' most well-known song. This particular song captures the moment when a breakup feels like war and turns into a struggle for one's own survival. The song became an enduring symbol for me and hundreds of millions of other listeners, and Juice Wrld was established as a rising star. 


Juice's admirers, whose hearts are weighed down by their own sorrow and suffering, were moved by his honesty and sincerity. His discography was adopted as a soundtrack for self- and relationship-related grief. In a society when being harsh is both expected of him and required, he showed softness.

 

 

His death at even a tender age is especially tragic because his songs imply that he could never see himself in any other situation. He advised knowing deep down that reaching old age wasn't a privilege only enjoyed by those who shared his background, emotions, and profession. I believe that Juice Wrld wanted to live even if his most heartbroken tracks, like Dark Place and Burn, among others, frequently seem like suicide letters laced with addiction and misery.


Despite instincts that would lead him to do the contrary, he was trying to get clean and was loving intensely and loudly. In order for those of us who were alone in our private lives to feel less alone, he battled his issues in public. He even provided his phone number for anyone who wanted to contact him.

 

There are issues with living in a place where we are required to repress our feelings and not exhibit signs of weakness, which hasn't been easy for me and Juice Wrld likewise. In order to numb our suffering, we tend to interest ourselves in all kinds of activities to make the agony go away. However, Juice compelled us to pay attention as he frequently spilled out his feelings, concerns, fears, and insecurities in gruesome details, creating scenes of melancholy and loneliness with unflinching sincerity.

 

A wailing melodic flow that imbued his hip-hop blues with drama and intensity was the foundation of his blue-stricken hip-hop blues. He risked everything by barring his soul in an act of unrequited love while hoping he would pass muster. Though he rapped primarily about heartbreak and pain brought on by breakups as well as by life, problems with brain chemistry, and methods people use to numb themselves, such as pills, alcohol, or lean, the relationships that he absorbed were just another way for him to vanish and feel something else.

 

Along with his deceased colleagues Lil Peep, who died at the age of 21 from an accidental overdose, and XXXtentacion, who died at the age of 20 from gun violence, he was a crucial component in the commercial growth of emo rap and one of the genre's most influential proponents. What's the twenty-seven club? We ain't making it past twenty-one, goes a line from his song "Legend," a homage to X and Peep, that hangs over his life like a shadow or premonition. 

 

 

 The world frequently speaks about us black males and our fury, but rarely of our grief as is seen in Juice Wrld's song Wishing Well, in which he sang: ’Ring-ring, phone call from depression You used my past and my memories as a weapon On the other line, I talk to addiction, huh Speakin' of the devil, all the drugs, I miss them This can't be real, is it fiction? Somethin' feels broke, need to fix it I cry out for help, do they listen? I'ma be alone until it's finished’’. For his fans and even for himself, his drug addiction has been a source of concern. which he said that in a song called burn that ’’Gotta put the narcotics down, I can feel 'em fucking up my kidney And punching my liver If I let it kill me, my mama'll never forgive me Ain't numbing my feelings, if I let it kill 'em, my baby will never forgive me’’.

 

Following Juice Wrld's passing, I have been diverse. I used to try to conceal it a little, but now that I have a channel, I can be different while also attempting to educate people about how using drugs to numb our feelings will just cause us to forget what our true concerns are. His life and songs were and will continue to be a spark for all of us, even after his death, proving that the demons he sang of did not triumph.
