How did Post Malone do it?

[Dboy41]

Cac used Rap music for his own financial benefit but turned his nose up at calling himself a rapper, refused to say black lives matter or speak on any black social issues, even verbally dissed hip hop culture to uplift a fellow Cac, and yet he’s still fully embraced by black artists and the community.

They were ruthless on Iggy Azaliea and quickly got her up outta here, where as Post Malone has been accepted despite saying just as much problematic shyt if not worse.

how?

Because nikkas don't stand for shyt in 2021. Your popular rappers will still work with him. bytch made Black fans will still buy and/or support his lackluster music.

This is the reality of Hip Hop in 2021.

 

[Tony D'Amato]

His music was ass.

Yeah ok.

Dude got hits.

 

[Lil Bape the PostGod]

Hit machine

His last album had features from Travis, dababy, lil baby , sza, young thug

could only imagine his next project

 

[Rev]

His sound and style are not nearly as reliant on hip hop culture as Iggy Azalea’s was. Plus his sound keeps changing a bit. Iggy was practically a laughable caricature.

Post Malone has the right producers and industry friends around him to keep him going at a top tier for a while.

So you feel

He had absolutely no creativity, his lyrics were fukking stupid and sounded like a high school project to repeat the most repetitive rap tropes in your own words, his singing wasn't good enough to get anywhere in the industry until he became a "rapper" and culture vultured a hip hop image, and his production was just the regurgitated pop version of whatever was popular in hip hop the previous year.

He was literally the blandest, whitest distillation of hip hop possible. Disney in rap form.

Yeah ok.

Dude got hits.

Of course he had hits, see the above.

Post Malone was Kesha for white boys, the dumbing-down of hip hop for the lowest common denominator. They just plugged whatever was popular in hop hop into a blender and gave it to a computer to form a new song from the pieces, then had it sung by a white boy posing with fake tats and a grill to give him an "urban" look. The masses love that shyt just like they love anything that sounds familiar and is stupid enough that it doesn't force them to think.

 

[Pazzy]

He doesnt exist as far im concerned.

You typing more does not making your opinion anything more than how YOU feel

Same way all the culture vultures do it. Corporately.

He's on Republic. It's mostly a Rock and Pop label, with funds being funneled through Universal. So they have the kind of budgets to pay for the best writers for him, his production budgets are going to be sky-high and he's going to get everything charged right back to him in the 360 deal he has. But he's pulling in so much bread, that he can still see a nice payday after everything is recouped. There was an article out a few years back about how Republic was paying radio to play his songs, and influencers to promote his records on social media. His following wasn't exactly organic. He's part of a machine that's going to make sure he succeeds.

That's how the vultures get down. They're not going to be grinding for years. They're going to spend to make sure the artists take off.
