History YMMV / XXXTentacion

** "RIP ROACH", while a semi weird song featuring X and Ski Mask the Slump God, came off as unnerving with lines such as "[[AxCrazy XXX ON A KILLSTREAK!]]" and "[[MadnessMantra MOMMA RAISED A SOLDIER, NOT A BITCH!!]]".

* SignatureSong: "Look at Me!" or "SAD!"
%%* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: ''Well...'' considering his shtick...

** "RIOT", just "RIOT". While the song's message on pointing out the flaws in violent riots is blunt, the creepy flute beat and X's unapologetic animosity towards cops is very unsettling. The (original version) song's ending with a KKK rally screaming on how they don't need a reason to hate African Americans makes it ''more'' uncomfortable.

* OvershadowedByControversy: Even after his death, X was surrounded by controversy, including allegations of abuse by his ex-girlfriend (which were later proven to be false), various feuds with other rap artists, and reports of homophobia and physically assaulting fans.

** A bit played straight when it comes to X as a person: While nobody can't deny that X was a very polarizing person and his actions of feuding, assaulting fans, and the allegations of abuse by his ex girlfriend still follow him even in death, most people genuinely believe he was on the path of trying to redeem himself and could have done so had his life not been taken away so young. Even his detractors will admit that he arguably would have done so, considering the earnestness of his actions.

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: ''Well...'' considering his shtick...

** "RIOT" features a creepy flute beat with X ranting about the treatment of African-Americans, before discussing his lack of concern over violence towards cops, bluntly saying [[AxCrazy "I ENJOY THE THRILL OF IT!]]". The song even ends with a ''disturbing'' sample of a KKK rally with them screaming and praising their hatred and [[DisproportionateRetribution them saying they don't need a reason to hate those not like them]].

* ArchivePanic: While he only has four studio albums and a couple of [=EPs=], he has posted ''multiple'' songs all over soundcloud, deleted several songs, and even has been involved multiple times with associates of his. The [=XXXTentacion=] subreddit arguably helps with this, but even then that's not saying much. ''[[ArchiveBinge And then there's unreleased material...]]''

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: "RIOT", which is pretty blunt and to the point about both violence towards African-Americans and negative repercussions of riots, especially in the polarizing political climate in 2016 and during the 2020 riots following the death of George Floyd.

* JerkassWoobie: X himself.

** X did everything in his music to help those who struggled with depression and anxiety, despite he suffering from it from those. Depending on who you ask, that's commendable.

** Following his death, celebrities paid respect and condolences, but the one that surprised a lot of people was no other than [[WebVideo/TheNeedleDrop Anthony Fantano]], who had given X's two albums low scores. Despite Anthony's own criticisms towards X's work, he made it clear that X was a person and death at a young age was a terrible way to go, as well as scolding those who mocked mourning fans and praising his death, saying "[[DueToTheDead Let the kid rest]]". This was made even more clear when Anthony reviewed ''Skins'', and while he still gave the album a low 2/10, it was more out of disgust that his label pushed out what he felt was an incomplete piece of work just to cash on his death.

* CriticalDissonance: Around the releases of "LOOK AT ME!" to ''?'', critics were mixed to favorable toward X, but the audience didn't like him. However ''Skins'' made critics borderline ''disgusted'' and hated the album due to it feeling incomplete, and the audience felt the same too.
* FridgeHorror: Mainly people tend to point out how X was known for his violent behavior and complaining about his depression/anxiety problems...until one puts it together that his actions stemmed from that. Along with his own struggles to boot.

** Save me has "Who do I have? Heaven and hell, My friend, my friend...". Brr...

** X's multicolored dreads, in spades. Especially when he bleached his eyebrows to fit his new hair style.

* NightmareFuel: XXXTENTACION ''gave'' off this vibe. Putting aside the weepy music, but he as a person felt..off putting to say the least. He came off as a ticking timebomb ready to explode especially with his glaring view and his mood swings from energetic and happy to angry and violent tend to scare others.

** "floor 555" was arguably the most aggressive song X wrote on ''?'', featuring what could be described as choatic breakdown.
** The single cover for "Revenge" originally called "Garette's Revenge". It was the aformentioned Jocelyn Flores' ''suicide note''.

** "RIP ROACH" has the lines "YOU PUSSY NIGGAS RICE CRISPY!" and "RIP MY SOUL!!!!".

* SignatureSong: "SAD!"

* OvershadowedByControversy: Even after his death, X was surrounded by controversy, including allegations of abuse by his ex-girlfriend, various feuds with other rap artists, and reports of homophobia and physically assaulting fans.
