“tightrope” is a single by XXXTENTACION featuring upcoming singer/songwriter Scott James, uploaded to SoundCloud in mid 2016. The song features an acoustic guitar featured throughout the song played by Lucio Westmoreland.

Scott James' features could be considered a sample, as they were originally recorded for his own track: “Ropes”

You could interpret this song as a remake, sample, cover or a feature.

It is a very different sounding track to most of X’s tracks, with a melodic guitar and piano flow throughout the track. Scott and X sing about a breakup and the struggle after it, breaking into lyrics about suicide at some points.

This song was meant to promote Scott James, however he took down the song. This is the main reason why X has very few vocals on it.

The album art is a picture of X when he was young.

Perhaps a reenacting of what happens after the picture shown for the cover art of the album, this intro skit is the official beginning of the three theater themed Eminem projects: The Eminem Show, Encore, and Curtain Call.

For the intro to Encore, Eminem would have a second skit of the same title.
