Genius Annotation

Similar to his previous studio albums, Bad Vibes Forever begins with XXXTENTACION divulging his mind to the listeners. However, as he is unable to talk about this posthumous release, X’s team seems to have chosen the most fitting monologue as the introduction. X demands the people to stop judging him and move on from his past mistakes like he did, as he suffered enough in his short life and he truly believed that he was becoming a better person before his death.

Genius Answer

A week after Bad Vibes Forever dropped, Billboard published an interview in which John Cunningham, X’s producer, and Solomon Sobande, his manager, broke down ten tracks on the album. Speaking on “introduction,” Cunningham said the following:

The introduction to the album was an instrumental I played, and [X] loved it and wanted it to be on the album. I know he had written a song to it, but we never recorded those vocals. A few months ago, I came across some words speaking on his life on my phone from a session. He’d improvise some amazing shit out of the blue and I’d have my phone recording to remember it. There was something about him telling that story that felt right.
