He sings on “Hellboy,” but he sings like a rapper, using short couplets and veering quickly from one emotion to the next. It’s easy to sing along to, and it showcases Peep’s vocal repertoire well. Peep liked to start shows with this song, and it makes sense. “Could this be him…this Hellboy?” The lead-in works well as Peep launches into something like a tagline for his career: “You don’t even know what I been through / You don’t gotta love me, your bitch do.” Hellboy: The mixtape title track starts with a foreboding vocal sample from the animated Hellboy film. But a good start, I think, is a track-by-track review of Hellboy, his strongest project. There is a great deal more writing I hope to do about Peep and my relationship with his music.
Lil Peep was a shooting star, an underground legend and rising pop icon who would have been selling out arenas in a matter of years if not months.
