What DEATH does to a Rapper's Legacy

Why Do Artists Blow Up After They Die?

XXXTENTACION was already one of the biggest artists in the world, but after his passing, his legacy skyrocketed—his monthly listeners surged, and Spotify crowned his album the most-streamed in their history. But why does this always happen?

From Tupac to Juice WRLD, from Van Gogh to legends we lost too soon, there's a pattern. The forbidden fruit effect, the preservation of youth, and sometimes pure exploitation all play a role in why artists are often more appreciated after they’re gone.

In this video, we break down the psychology behind posthumous fame, the dark side of the industry, and why we should appreciate artists while they're here.
