SMH: Post Malone Tells Fans To Avoid "Hip Hop" If You Are Looking For Something Real

[VladTheImpaler]

Get this dude the fukk outta here



For someone who's been one of the dominating figures in hip-hop during the last half of 2017, Post Malone's opinion about the "realness" of the genre's current crop of music is, well, kind of shocking.

The "Rockstar" emcee spoke with Polish media outlet Newonce about a variety of topics, but his most interesting revelation came when he advised those watching that, if you're looking to massage your feelings after a long day or want some music to connect to on a deeper level, then it might be best to avoid hip-hop altogether.


"If you're looking for lyrics, if you're looking to cry, if you're looking to think about life, don't listen to hip-hop," Posty said. "There's great hip-hop songs where they talk about life and they spit that real s**t, but right now, there's not a lot of people talking about real s**t." Though that's an pretty incendiary statement, at last Malone was willing to back up that kind of thought with examples from his own life.

"Whenever I want to cry, whenever I want to sit down and have a nice cry, I'll listen to some Bob Dylan," he added. "Or whenever I'm trying to have a good time and stay in a positive mood, I listen to hip-hop. Because it's fun. I think hip-hop is important because it brings people together in a beautiful, happy way."

There's a lot to unpack here, especially with Post Malone's notion that hip-hop can only be used to increase a positive emotional response, in his case anyways. There's plenty of introspective rap music that touches on key subjects, most notably inequality and fighting for your rights if you're a member of a marginalized group, but perhaps that isn't always present in the genre's current climate. Is that a problem though? Does one need their lyrics to be more than just surface-layer flexing in order for a piece of hip-hop music to be effective? Your mileage may vary with that theory.



Elsewhere, Malone recently revealed the release date for his upcoming album, Beerbongs & Bentleys, to be dropping December 1st at midnight. Ty Dolla $ign, Nicki Minaj and some other big names will be appearing on the LP as featured artists. Check out all the recent updates on that project here.

[Crayola Coyote]

[The Devil's Advocate]

post malone is wave riding the coli

we byke

Exactly. I’m so tired of nikkas and their fake outrage

Dude literally said there are deep songs out BUT MOST PEOPLE AINT DOING IT THESE DAYS


Where was a lie?

 

[GetRichOrDieTryin]

IF A BLACK PERSON said that ya'll would agree but since posty is white ya'll get mad... And he's right, hiphop currently isn't good for anything but partying and feeling good. How many rappers are making emotional, introspective, deep music? Maybe a few rappers are like Kanye, Drake, and Kendrick, but that's not even 1% of the all the active hiphop artists. Most rappers are rapping about drugs, bytches, women, and money.

Man shut your dumbass up. It's about practicing what you preach. How can he even say this when all his songs are talking about some dumb shyt?

Plus, this is the same guy who said he aint hip hop and to not associate him with hip hop. So why is he even speaking on this? foh

There's plenty of great music out right now, even by the newer generation. Post himself just makes garbage.

 

[Phantom Dreamer]

We got the cache to say this type of thing


Post Malone downplays hiphop then goes on to hype up wack cac music he listens to,something we would never do

Exactly.

 

[James Worthy]

The sad thing is this is just the beginning...

 

[Anti-Anime]

who is this cracker to speak on this? especially when he's part of this problem

 

[Premeditated]

someone needs to eliminate this culture vulture from hip hop

when is he gon complete the kid rock transition so he could stay away from hip hop and make those bytch ass country ass rock songs????

all it takes is one notable/respectable rapper to call him out and put their foot on his neck. But we know these so called hip hop saviors like Kendrick, JCole, Chance the Plant won't do it.

 

[Unknown Poster]

So goddamn sick of this cracka ass cracka.

Always talking some sort of shade towards the artform he making money off of.

 

[riddlerap]

nothing he said is false.. and y'all act like he said all hip-hop is trash, no, he just saying what we all think, mainstream hip-hop is currently watered down trash.
