With its haunting Mala sample, warped bass and some twitchy rapping, XXXTentacion's breakout single "Look At Me!" demands you to follow its instructional title.

Check out the full spectrum of X releases for yourself below. Today, one day before the originally intended release of the ? album deluxe edition, XXL takes a look at all of X's many styles to rank his 30 best songs. On the other hand, there's the emo-leaning, teen pop tune "Sad!," which lets X weave in numbness in a song that's essentially about suicide and broken love. The lack of hard percussion or a pulsating beat gives space for his words to sink in and his voice to linger. For a song like "Save Me," X tackles sparse guitar as he belts out a desperate cry for help.
Through that versatility, X was able to channel feelings like rage, depression and more in whatever musical medium works best for the occasion.
Meanwhile, the acoustic "Revenge" sounds more like a Modest Mouse deep cut than a new single from a South Florida SoundCloud rapper. On "Look At Me!," he attacks a spastic beat and renders lo-fi trap in all of its unpolished glory. X flaunted his genre-fluid stylings across several EPs, two albums and a few compilation projects. "I feel like for us, the only time genre comes up is talking about good and bad. "People still use the term 'rapper' when they're talking about X, and I just think that's outdated 'cause obviously he's so much more than that," X's producer John Cunningham told XXLwhen speaking about the making of X's ? album last year.
