Juice WRLD: Into the Abyss

I’m a crazy big Juice WRLD fan and I watched this on some random guy on Twitter’s HBO Max account, and because it isn’t available in the UK I had to use a VPN to watch it on HBO.

The documentary is great at giving us access to new unseen Juice footage, which was enjoyable to watch. Whilst also journeying through Juice’s quick uprise to fame, and presenting his addiction to drugs he was going through, his friends and family by the end of the documentary recall the events of December 8th 2019 into the early hours of the morning at Chicago’s Midway Airport where Juice suffered a seizure due to an overdose of Percocet's, a truly sad end to a story which should’ve been much longer had he lived on and recovered in rehab.

Juice WRLD: Into the Abyss
when they ask bibby if he felt like juice wanted to die and he says yes, that he heard it in the music and still did nothing about it, that part really sticks with you. it is heartbreaking to realize that the signs were there the whole time and the people closest to him just let it keep happening.

hes my favorite artist of all time, my top artist in spotify every year, i know every song and can recognize them in a second, and this documentary just makes everything hit harder. you can see how deep and serious his addiction really was and how much he hated it. hes helped so many people like him and its so sad that no one was there to actually help him. he knew his addiction was killing him, but at the same time he knew he needed it to live.

what makes it worse is how fast everything happened to him. he blew up overnight, had money and fame thrown at him, and instead of real support he was surrounded by people who were benefiting off him. it feels like no one actually stepped in or tried hard enough to help him slow down or get better. they heard what he was saying in his music and still let it go on.

you also have to think about what he was dealing with personally. he had just lost his dad in the middle of a tour, and he was that good that you couldnt see his pain in his concert the same day. he was already hurting, and instead of being protected, he was left to cope in the worst way possible. even the people closest to him, his girlfriend and friends, didnt seem to understand how serious it was or didnt act like it mattered enough to intervene, they just thought it was a simple freestyle.

the documentary and his story really leaves you with this heavy feeling that it could have been different.  that someone could have stepped in, that things didnt have to end a week after turning 21. its not just a story about fame, its about a young person struggling in front of everyone and everyone ignoring it and not getting the help he needed.
