Might as well throw Playboi Carti, and a LOT of other dudes in that category...

A-1 comparison

Dude is 100% a white playboi carti.

Music is vapid and souless. Defiantly against any sort of creativity or semblance of skill in music. Carried by production Both front as "rockstars" cause they do drugs. All aesthetic no substance. Both male it obvious their only association with rap is as a means to get famous

Hell you can throw future, uzi and trippie into this crowd too.

I completely agree with the article, and I like some of dudes songs

I saw him at music midtown this year(I got a free ticket from my job)

Literally the worst live performance I've ever seen

The show went EXACTLY how the article described

He played all of his popular songs first, then he pulled a guitar out and started singing some random folk shyt

I was in VIP and he was the closer that night. After the 3rd folk song in a row left music midtown and went home

Future has direct hiphop ties to Dungeon Family whether u like his music or not tho......he's not a outsider opportunist like Post

Lil Uzi started as a traditional rapper but switched it up later so again he has real ties to the culture.

"Ties to the culture" is arbitrary. Folks could make the same claims vouching for Em but yall would deny it cause you dont like him.

Furthermore my post was about music. Idgaf about co-signs. All the artists mentioned including post are part of today's musical melting pot of anti-rapping "rappers" making music for fame above all else

So if its music you dont like, it doesnt count. I dont even really fw Uzi, Playboi n all that but tbeir music is just as valid as whatever u bump.

Hiphop started as lighthearted production driven party music. Theres always been a place for stuff like Playboi n them.....theyre basically just bringing back the "hippa hoppa" vibe of the late 70s/early 80s with new production styles.

Also i know the difference between rap music and hiphop. Future is rap.....Ghostface is hiphop. There is validity in what both artists do....i dont like shytting on artists bc i dnt fw they style.

Post is different bc he's a cac coming in and getting money of blac culture on sum minstrel show shyt....a culture that he has no respect for.

Whether you like Em or not, even his haters wont deny he has a genuine love and respect for hiphop

"Rockstar" is a good song. That's about it.

Every other song of his has made me press skip.
I don't even really like that song

He kinda snuck his way into my playlists with this track, which is like 3 years old

There's a reason why he opens with it

I honestly never knew Post Malone was this big. White Iverson, Rockstar, and Congratulations got a lot of play, but I honestly had no idea he was looked at as a superstar.

I actually like some of his stuff, but I always thought he was viewed at the same level of fame as like Swae Lee or Uzi. It’s crazy finding out he’s seen as the heir to Eminem’s white rapper throne.
