X really could've been a star :mjcry: fukk broward county

I knew post was gonna at least have a lane..rode that cloud trap lane with white iverson...was telling nikkas he was up. Didnt think he'd be on some OD "fukk hip hop" shyt afterwards, thought hed be one of the "cool" culture vultures that at least gives props

but his fanbase probably liked it this way better. Hes more talented than most cac rappers so Ill at least give him that, but the GAS from white frats/soroity dorks that dont listen to no one else tellin me he the best rapper they know disgusts me. Go to frat party colleges brehs :mjcry:
Dude did a complete 180 after White iverson


Dude started making CAC music by Stoney .. I actullay liked him when he first came out

Chi-Town to Tampa
cuz his shyt is fire.
I gave him his due for the singles but I'm not about to listen to an album from a guy that's labeled 'The Donald Trump of Hip-hop'. It wasn't too long ago that he was rumored to be quitting rap and took it upon himself to throw the entire genre under the bus.

on the coli he isn't talked about or fukked with at all because he's white, but he's arguably the 2nd biggest rapper behind Drake
Rapper? He raps? We're calling that sing-songy pop stuff he does "rap" now because he does it to a hip-hop related beat? :heh:

And how do you know the coli doesn't mess with him cause he's white? I mean, if some wealthy black pop/country singer who had no relationship to rap at all suddenly switched to hip-hop, had his parents pay his way in so he got immediately propped up by the industry while simultaneously getting a bunch of tattoos, braids, and grills that he hadn't had before, and put out a bunch of vanilla-ass music while looking awkward as fukk within his fake persona, would the coli mess with him then?

I don't even believe in that "cultural appropriation" crap, people can take on the style they like. But you look at everything out there before White Iverson dropped, and he didn't have an ounce of it in him. He took it all on SOLELY to create an image and makes money. You like that?



:scusthov:

Looks horrible on him too, like he some post-apocalyptic cancer-ridden survivor from mad max or some shyt.

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." :dahell:

What does this a$$hole know about hip-hop if he can say stupid shyt like that? :mindblown:

Is he even on the radio like that it had an impactful hit? I hit the add button on Apple music...he's ok but I don't see anything special he's like a white version of drake and fetty wop and looks like a fat neckbeard who doesn't shower

Post Malone is all over twitch,streaming games,on podcasts plugged into the youth and I think that helped sell him a lot.

But yelawolf is an apt comparison because they’re very similar artists. I think yelawolf was just too old and his first couple albums were pretty weak. That radioactive album was trash. He found his lane on the next album but by then his moment had passed. Plus he’s like 40 and doesn’t try to cross over in anything but music

Yela comes off as a bit more authentic as well. He can spit and has released some fire album/mixtapes.

I love XXX but with the allegations he would have never been the #1 guy

His fan base was growing. Sad! and the album were doing well and he was mad young. The media doesn't dictate whose hot anymore. Streaming, social media and youtube does and his fan didnt give a fukk about the so called allegations.

Twitter didn’t mess with bruh like that

He’s right though..

I got into it with hustle when his album dropped about it not being pinned.. few days went by and X’s album debuted at number one on the billboard 200

No big push from a major
No big single or singles in rotation

He was the one. He was naturally talented and despite the controversy still managed to cultivate a huge fan base in just two years

Twitter is a liberal/feminist/SJW bubble. So it can fool you into thinking guys like XXX or Chris Brown don't have large loyal fanbases.
