XXXTentacion: Top 10 Songs That Still Resonate

Okay, so, picking a "Top 10" anything is always a total minefield, right? Especially when it comes to someone like XXXTentacion. His music was… intense. Raw. It touched a nerve with so many people, myself included. But man, it's also incredibly subjective. What hits me might totally miss you, you know? I mean, I’m still reeling from his death, it was such a shock. But let’s dive into this anyway! This is my personal take, a snapshot of the songs that still give me chills, even years later. It’s totally biased, and I’m sure there are a ton of amazing songs I'm missing. But this is my journey, my story, and the songs that formed part of my soundtrack.

The Emotional Rollercoaster: My XXXTentacion Journey

I remember first hearing X in, like, 2016? It was "Look at Me!", totally inescapable. At first, I was kinda… weirded out. The raw emotion, the aggressive beats, it was unlike anything I'd heard before. It felt…vulnerable, in a way that was both captivating and unsettling. I wasn't immediately hooked. It wasn’t a love at first listen type of situation. It took a while to appreciate the range of his talent.

Then, slowly, I started to dig deeper. His lyrics were, uh, let's just say honest. Brutally honest about his struggles, his pain, his anger. But mixed in there was this incredible tenderness and vulnerability. It was a chaotic mix, but it resonated with me. Like, I’d been through some tough stuff myself, and his music gave voice to things I couldn’t even articulate myself. The dude laid his soul bare for everyone to see. It was intensely personal and deeply moving.

I still find myself listening to him on those nights when I can't quite sleep because of difficult emotions. But he isn't just dark and depressing. He had this amazing ability to create euphoric highs alongside crushing lows. His music is like a rollercoaster, and that's why it's stayed with me. But let’s get to the music. Here’s what’s consistently in my rotation.

My Top 10 XXXTentacion Songs (In No Particular Order!)

This is tough. There's no right or wrong order here, but this list feels representative of the depth and breadth of his musical journey. If you only listen to the top hits, you miss a bunch of his incredible artistry, which included a range of genres including hip hop, trap, R&B, and emo.

1. Look at Me!: This was the breakout hit. It’s undeniably catchy and aggressive, but there's something undeniably compelling about it's raw energy.
2. Jocelyn Flores: This song became an anthem for grief and loss. I think the emotional vulnerability in this song is incredible.
3. SAD!: A perfect blend of melancholic melodies and hard-hitting beats. The emotion in this one is just devastating.
4. Changes: This is one of his more popular tracks and a bit gentler. Even if it's not your typical vibe, you need to check it out.
5. Revenge: Featuring the late, great Juice WRLD, this song remains intensely powerful and relevant, speaking to a need to protect ourselves against pain.
6. Moonlight: A beautiful, almost ethereal track showcasing a different side of X.
7. Arms Around You (with Lil Pump, Maluma & Swae Lee): I know I said this list was in no particular order, but this was probably one of the earlier ones I fell in love with. So many good feelings in one song!
8. King of the Dead: A truly unforgettable track that exemplifies his talent for blending sounds.
9. Hope: This is one that showcases X’s capacity for emotional vulnerability. It makes you feel so heard!
10. Never: A powerful anthem that really connected with me on a personal level.

Bonus Track: It's impossible to leave out "Orlando," a tribute to his hometown, it shows another depth to his skill as a musician.

Beyond the Hits: Exploring the Catalog

There's so much more to explore beyond this top 10. I really encourage you to dive into his albums and mixtapes. You'll find incredible depth and variety. Don’t just stick to the radio hits; X's complete discography is truly worth investigating.

Listen with an open heart. Let the music wash over you. And yeah, maybe grab some tissues. You know, just in case. His music is powerful, man. And even though it's been a few years, it still hits me hard. And hopefully, this helped you get to know him better and his amazing work!
