I don't even listen to this artist but I wanted to watch this documentary because my 15 year old son has told me about him. Wow. Such as great movie. Sad for various reasons, however I feel like Lil Peeps story was told in a beautiful way and his grandfather narrating definitely assisted with this. It also gave me an understanding of the music genre. I like how the music is melodic. I think if there is a lesson for anybody it is that too much of something is never good for anyone, particularly when you are not in the emotional space to handle it. It must have been so hard to trust the people he had around him especially after his father abandoned him.

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.

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.
