Everybody's Everything

My review for this is late. I watched it 2 years ago when it was first released. I was watching a random playlist of documentaries but this one really captivated me. I didn't even know Lil Peep at the time of watching this - well, to be exact, I had not listened to his music.

Often when I speak about how The Mac Miller Foundation stopped efforts of making a documentary about his life, I often reference this wonderful work of art. The documentary left with a peace of my heart.

Rip peep

Firstly, the other reviews which criticise peep for his drug use and face tattoos are great examples of the close-minded and judgemental people that Gus' mother, Liza, mentioned in his eulogy. Please, whoever it may be that is reading this, don't prematurely pass judgement on others, you never know what someone may be going through. But apart from that the movie is great. It is well directed, very informative and was a pleasure to watch. The runtime was a little daunting for me at first but watching it was never dull and so the length wasn't an issue for me.

I'm a big Peep fan and I was really excited to see this documentary. But I was also skeptical about this movie, I was afraid that the movies directors and the crew would to denigrate Goth boi clique.

My fears were disproved, this documentary keeps a neutral point in it's storytelling. It lets many different sides tell the story of Lil Peep. And it also shows many different sides of Peep both the bad, the good, the sad and the happy.

The only downsides of the documentary is that some topics they just touches the surface of and sometimes the editing felt a little of. To specify the placement of some of the interviews were a little strange

But overall the movie shows things that I think were few people know about Lil peep. It's a beautiful homage and summary of Peeps life, mind and career.

RIP GUS, I will always love you <3

Personal Anecdote: Back in 2017 I was supposed to go see Peep live during the "When the Lean Runs Out" Tour with Fat Nick and Smokepurpp.

My date wasn't able to go so I said "i'll go next time" Peep, to my knowledge, wouldn't come back in my area until the "Come Over When You're Sober" Tour.

But the catch was I live in San Antonio and his closest show was in Austin, and I would have go and drive by myself and I had work the next morning. So I passed.

Peep passed away 4 days after that Austin show and not going to either of those shows is probably my biggest regrets in life.

My fiends who ended up going to the 2017 show got free meet and greets with Fat Nick, Smokepurpp, and Peep.

Review: With every watch this gets sadder and sadder.

For some reason this is my third watch of this documentary and only my first time i'm reviewing it.

Peep really was one of the greatest of our generation.

This documentary really has it all, the rise of Peep, pretty much from his birth till his death. It talks about his drug-use, his family, his friendships, his relationships, his mental struggles, his music, his achievements, his hardships, and everything in between as he progressed from nothing to stardom.

And like JGRXXN says towards the end, not everyone in this documentary probably had the best intentions for Peep and were clout chasing and I fully believe that.

Not only that but seeing the tragic and sudden death of Peep is extremely hard and heart wrenching to watch.

Knowing the direction Peep was going as an artist, he would've been massive, stadium levels, just like he wanted.

Peep personally means a lot to me. An important person in my life showed me Star Shopping during middle / late 2016 and i've been hooked since. I've since gotten two tattoos related to Peep. The Crybaby bird over my heart, and a centipede on my leg. It's an understatement to say Peep is important to me.

I remember waking up on some school day, going on twitter and finding out he passed, I often don't feel much whenever a celebrity or artist passes, but this one hit me like a truck.

Anyways ... One of the best artist-focused documentaries ever, also my favorite documentary in general. Always a lovely, but heartbreaking watch.

First off, Gus was a light in this world. And the small minded people who judged him for his appearance were the type of the people who did help him. He was such a beautiful soul, and I know I didn't know him personally, but he gave himself to his music. And every real artist who writes their music. And pour their hearts in souls in it, leave pieces of themselves in the music. And through listening to their music and connecting with it, we get to know the artists. Gus was, like many people, hurting. And like all of us hurting souls he found vices to help forget and ease the pain. He left the world way way too soon. I knew he was going to go places farther then I could have imagined. And it breaks my heart when I listen to his music and remember, he isn't here anymore. I hope that wherever he is now, he is finally not hurting anymore. That's all I can wish for. Rip Gus. Lil Peep was one of the ones who understood.
