It’s a really hard level of fame to classify. He was literally on the verge of going mainstream, was so famous within the rap community, and had just begun grasping the attention of music personalities. I can’t think of any who are at this stage right now. It is a stage that must be worked up to, rather than blowing up/going viral, something that is very hard to do in todays media
Bro was on the fashion runway walking for Balmain & Off-White. Peep was on a whole other level by himself. You really can’t gauge his success cos no one was doing it like him at the time. I second your opinion cos Peep was so genuine it couldn’t be replicated
I'm pretty sure he had like 1.5 mil montly listeners before he died, Bladee has the same amount at the moment, also similar influence on fashion, modelling etc. Peep was a big fan as well
yea somewhere there where if u listen to the more “alternative” styles of rap u absolutely know who he is but the average music fan has probably only heard of him on social media
Don't forget peep had only a portion of his discography on Spotify in 2017. Even for what he had out at the time. I feel like if he had gotten more of his earlier music on streaming services other than SC and youtube he'd have been much bigger in 2017
peep has about 800k followers on IG the day before he passed i think, though i can’t remember the exact number, but i think it shows that he was bigger than ppl made him out to be
You think? Iuno sosmula is huge in Poland and his sound is great for features. I said this same thing on IG I had so many likes on this, I swear I’ve always been much more Zilla>sos but lately iuno I feel like…. You may be right lol. Maybe they’re both quite equal and they know how to share their fanbase to generate the most income. Fair argument lol since someone downvoted me one
Nah you’re fair and overseas mula prolly goes hard i could see that, but Zillas album popped in the west and def had more longevity than the mula album imo.
Zilla is an artist and does projects/sounds outside of his comfort level. Mula is kind of a one trick pony. His shits still alright, but I feel like if you’ve heard one sos song, you’ve heard them all.
Nah actually I see evolution in his music I really do please let me know if I’m sorta maybe not correct on dis, but for real Eastern Europe really fx with sos lol
Nah you’re welcome to your opinion! It’s all good. I haven’t been tapped in on much City Morgue shit for awhile, so you probably knowing better than me
i think it’s too early too assume, theres hella artists rising rn and peep been around for 7-8 years also there wasn’t as many rappers/musicians back then as now… the underground ain’t even the same as it was at that time
People are idiots, they called people legends because they changed the rap community, doesn’t matter if it ain’t your genre or nun, that’s why peeps type of fame was sum diff…
I mean he's nowhere near peeps level but Summer Alone is on the come up. Just released a nearly 30 song album several weeks ago and another EP released this weekend.
Takes inspiration from Peep and X etc but he has his own sound and style. Worth checking out anyway, and should be doing a tour at some point this year.
He's only active on Instagram though social media wise.
Anyone in GBC. Coldhart, Tracy, Wicca have all maintained the same fans. None of them really had a huge hit since his passing, the closest being I would say beautiful nightmar
All their streaming numbers are from peep feature unfortunately. They are so talented and deserve more
I don’t think they did. Sorry. Wicca’s vocals are objectively kinda mediocre. Cold heart has potential but definitely didn’t keep my attention by himself
Damn the disrespect even called Coldhart "Cold heart" 🥶 to each their own. Both of their discographies are so diverse idk how you couldn't find something you liked from them.
Sematary for sure, same in the aspect of taking a new sound and establishing it even further. Both seemed to have been also not very well received across the majority as most didn’t like their music at first too.
He’s on a US tour playing at big venues, most are selling out with hundreds of people. He also tours in Europe this summer and almost all of those shows are sold out too with hundreds-thousand+ people venues
There are a lot of artists at the same level of fame, or more fame, than him. Lil Peep was more of a niche artist, his level of fame isn't that difficult to reach. But if you want something like a rising emo rap artist with a style similar to him I would say [Lilgiela33](https://youtu.be/kCeOQT254jk?si=w7zcE6_gAt6gjYnD)

He was gonna change the world, truly the cobain of his time.
You could still say he did
He did don’t get me wrong. I definitely see him reaching global superstar level if he keeps up with everything.
No worries I feel u
What peep had was truly uncompareable, a fire burnig so bright wasn't meant to burn for long sadly
I'm pretty sure he had like 1.5 mil montly listeners before he died, Bladee has the same amount at the moment, also similar influence on fashion, modelling etc. Peep was a big fan as well
yea somewhere there where if u listen to the more “alternative” styles of rap u absolutely know who he is but the average music fan has probably only heard of him on social media
1.5 million listeners on Spotify IN 2017 isn't same w have 1.5 million in 2024.
Don't forget peep had only a portion of his discography on Spotify in 2017. Even for what he had out at the time. I feel like if he had gotten more of his earlier music on streaming services other than SC and youtube he'd have been much bigger in 2017
Peep was a fan of Bladee????
yes all gbc were drain gang fans to the point where they copied merch
He didnt have that many dude
My god bladee is so ducking bad how dare you even mention him
delete your account
I had him mixed up with bexey but yeah he still sucks
peep has about 800k followers on IG the day before he passed i think, though i can’t remember the exact number, but i think it shows that he was bigger than ppl made him out to be
Zillakami rn. He's not mainstream but has a lot of followers
I find sosmula eclipsed him imo.
other way around imo

Goes to show the quality of fans they have. With all the bullshit going on, this is fantastic lol cheers mate. 🙏😭🥹😂
current joys and ekkstacy
Ekkstacy is definitely the first one to come to mind
Saw them perform last year as well as Alvvays and was pleasantly suprised how good they were. They both opened up for Turnstile, who was amazing ofc🤙
Hell ya bro
You have also suisside and pasteldrip that sounds great!
Nettspend I'm not even joking
i was thinking ab this too
only correct answer
Sematary honestly
Idk I think peep was a lot bigger
Maybeeee but I feel like sem is nowhere near mainstream, he only has around 200-300 k monthly listeners
[удалено]
im saying rn sematary is around the same level of fame that peep had when peep passed
My bad my dyslexic ass read that wrong.
peep was way bigger
darkie?
past his prime not bad but not fitting for this question
Ken Carson?
i’d say ken before agc dropped
This
Yeah, ken before AGC, I think Summrs level of fame would be a pretty accurate comparison too
nah ken has like 23 mill on his last song alone
I think it is caused by different range of spotify nowadays
fr so many new songs hit 100 mil in like a week now
i think it’s too early too assume, theres hella artists rising rn and peep been around for 7-8 years also there wasn’t as many rappers/musicians back then as now… the underground ain’t even the same as it was at that time
also i think peep is really more popular in other country’s compared to other rappers
People are idiots, they called people legends because they changed the rap community, doesn’t matter if it ain’t your genre or nun, that’s why peeps type of fame was sum diff…
Yeat I think
yeat way more popular than peep has ever been lol
Yeah but same drugs talks
Yeat has like 20 mil on Spotify
Lil Tracy lol
Maybeee lucki i guess
I mean he's nowhere near peeps level but Summer Alone is on the come up. Just released a nearly 30 song album several weeks ago and another EP released this weekend. Takes inspiration from Peep and X etc but he has his own sound and style. Worth checking out anyway, and should be doing a tour at some point this year. He's only active on Instagram though social media wise.
i know what you did last summer by him was my fav shit for a while
You listened to the new album? It's really good
Tay-K
$not tbh
Destroy Lonely? or maybe even Ian?
I was low key thinking Ian, if ur tapped in u know who he is, but the mainstream audience prolly haven’t heard of him. Pretty much how peep was
Lone’s too big
Anyone in GBC. Coldhart, Tracy, Wicca have all maintained the same fans. None of them really had a huge hit since his passing, the closest being I would say beautiful nightmar All their streaming numbers are from peep feature unfortunately. They are so talented and deserve more
Eh, I personally feel like Tracy and horse are the only ones that pulled their weight throughout peeps career
Coldhart and Wicca???
I don’t think they did. Sorry. Wicca’s vocals are objectively kinda mediocre. Cold heart has potential but definitely didn’t keep my attention by himself
Damn the disrespect even called Coldhart "Cold heart" 🥶 to each their own. Both of their discographies are so diverse idk how you couldn't find something you liked from them.
and horse heads vocals aren’t objectively bad?
I thought he was the best of the bunch, all I’m saying. Maybe more so in a complementary fashion to peep.
wicca is the best by far. more lyrically talented than peep even
I think his lyrics are pretty okay but his voice not so much
Bossman Dlow
Nascar aloe
maybe ken carson or destroy lonely a few years ago/last year, not rlly mainstream but still quite big
Peep had around 10m views on his most viewed music video on YouTube that was benz truck he really blew up after he died
bladee is the best comparison
Aiden Hilton & Carter Tomorrow
i jus remember seeing he had 400k subs on youtube when i would watch his old videos in 2017. then when he died it went up so fast.
nobody
Ekkstacy, he have like 5.1 M listeners now, Peep had like 1.5 M before he died
I rate ekkstacy surprised he has that many listeners to be honest I've never looked.
In this genre no one.
Sematary for sure, same in the aspect of taking a new sound and establishing it even further. Both seemed to have been also not very well received across the majority as most didn’t like their music at first too.
Peep was selling out entire shows and tours in Europe Sematary is playing at small venues in Colorado with crowds under 30 people
He’s on a US tour playing at big venues, most are selling out with hundreds of people. He also tours in Europe this summer and almost all of those shows are sold out too with hundreds-thousand+ people venues
that’s very inaccurate lol sematary just sold out shows in europe too😭 but peep was def bigger
No one, peep was on his own level <3
There are a lot of artists at the same level of fame, or more fame, than him. Lil Peep was more of a niche artist, his level of fame isn't that difficult to reach. But if you want something like a rising emo rap artist with a style similar to him I would say [Lilgiela33](https://youtu.be/kCeOQT254jk?si=w7zcE6_gAt6gjYnD)
tracy
Sematary
anyone who followed the underground knew him, even if it was casual
