8, but it is possible that it wouldn't have won that Grammy - reviews published in the three weeks between the album's release and Lennon's murder were lukewarm.
His album Double Fantasy, did go gold before Lennon died, as David Geffen told John when Geffen dropped by the recording studio on the night of Dec. Since his tragic assassination in 1980, John Lennon has become acclaimed.Austrian singer Falco ("Rock me Amadeus") supposedly said: "You've got to die in Vienna before the people will appreciate you." It happened in 1998, shortly before his 41st birthday.After he was killed while leaving a motorcycle dealership, a wave of posthumous support came in, declaring X as one of the best rappers of the new generation and a pioneer in mumble rap. XXXTentacion was a rapper who grew popular in the late 2010s for his dark lyrics and unique beats, yet was heavily scrutinized for his criminal record, including abuse allegations from his pregnant wife.While very successful and admired in the hip-hop community while he was alive, his largest first-week sales as a solo artist occurred because of the re-release of his EP-turned-album Ruff Draft (heck, the original release was unsuccessful) in 2007, one year after his death. J Dilla, while very popular due to his work with notable acts (including A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Busta Rhymes, Erykah Badu, The Roots, The Pharcyde, Madlib, and Common), wasn't known for his solo career.
Big L's second album The Big Picture, published a year after his death in 1999, went Gold and was L's most successful album, especially compared to his first album Lifestylez ov da Poor & Dangerous, the only one released when he was still alive.
