Why are ANY of ya'all claiming him for rap when he refuses to even claim rap himself?
"We were told by his camp that he wasn't paying attention to hip-hop so much, he was going in more of a rock/pop/country direction." - why Post Malone refused to do XXL Freshmen
“I’m not a rapper, I’m a artist. I don’t make rap music. I might rap, but I don’t make rap music.”
“On the new project, there’s gonna be country, there’s gonna be rock, folk, hip-hop, anything you can imagine, put into my own unique sound.”
“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….whenever I want to sit down and have a nice cry, I’ll listen to some Bob Dylan. But 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. Everybody’s happy.”
In answer to Charlamagne tha God asking him what he was doing to advance Black Lives Matter: “I guess what I can do to help Black Lives Matter is keep making music. … I don’t know.”
In a later interview reflecting on what he should have said: “I wish I’d said, ‘What are you doing for Black Lives Matter?’ Some sassy shyt to shut him up. Like, maybe my music’s not the best, but I know I’m not a bad person, so you’re just being a hater.”
Post Malone on Charlamagne tha God: “He’s not a good person. He hates me because I’m white and I’m different. But we’re still rocking and we’re still successful, and he can’t stop it.”
On why he doesn't pay attention to the news: “I’m more into alternate news. shyt not a lot of people read, like conspiracy shyt. There’s crazy shyt that goes on that we can’t explain. Chemtrails and shyt.”
On why he likes Utah: “It’s free country out there. Like, you can buy suppressors in Utah. You can do open-carry. Walk into the grocery store with a handgun on your hip. Cowboy shyt. I can’t wait.”
"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....Everybody's happy."
What does this a$$hole know about hip-hop if he can say stupid shyt like that?
