So Post Malone is that “artist” now

[SunZoo]

Oh and...

nikkas on here already like that White Iverson bullshyt...give Post Malone the "Drake" treatment and watch these clowns pump that trash

If somebody wrote some bars for Taylor Swift or Justin Beiber it would be the same fukking thing. And you fu fu ass nikkas would probably co-sign it because "I just like good music man".

Post Malone is the future GOAT at this rate.

It's plenty of people fukking with that Post Malone cat though he obviously is a Hip Hop hobbyist...give him Drakes "team" and you'll get similar results. He could get exposed as a "culture vulture" who is completely ghost written and it he'd end up on billboards with legends 10 years from now...

Now that we know the deal, that it goes way beyond "bouncing ideas" and into Rap Concentration camps and tent slaves, it's disheartening to know that you could take a Justin Beiber/Post Malone type with no real stripes or history in the culture, give him a workforce of slaves and have him dominate the game. That I do care about...sue me.

Isn't Post Malone the guy that said he doesn't consider hip-hop real music, or something like that? Yeah, fukk him.

The thread is hilarious to me though because I told people back when all this streaming nonsense started....if you cite that type of shyt as a reason why someone is good, or should be taken seriously or respected....be prepared for the day when an artist you aren't comfortable with uses all that to their advantage.

And here we are.

The thing that gets me is that my little sister and her best friend are as pop culture as they come and they told me that they didn't know who XXXTentacion was and they didn't listen to Post Malone. Mama raised them right

 

[Maximus Rex]

someone told me post malone and kendrick lamar where the best rappers alive

he was half right

8 of 10 are hip-hop. It’s funny cos there are still people out there that will vehemently say rap music is irrelevant.

2 white, 1 jew, 2 half white, 1 DEAD
idk why im posting this but...

 

[tremonthustler1]

Yet I have never heard a full song of his, I MIGHT have let White Iverson play through when it came out and that was just curiosity. I guess "i'm living under a rock" because I've been able to completely avoid the supposed number one mainstream artist in Hip Hop.



I been saying watch what happens when you let frauds remain at the helm of the game, they'll apply that formula to someone even less deserving. When is Beiber dropping his rap album is what I wanna know.

He’s already on Def Jam. The door is open.


Post Malone is one of those artists y’all glossed over because y’all thought he’d fail or be a mid card artist at best, so there was no real resistance when White Iverson was poppin. When Congratulations dropped and Stoney wasn’t going away, that was when y’all got angry and scared.


Is he hip-hop? He’s about as hip-hop as Rihanna is. Take that however you want it. However I don’t need artists to be hip-hop for me to necessarily enjoy the music, and he got piff in store.

The social media era more than ever forces y’all to decide whether you’ll like the music in spite of the fact that you hate the person making it.

 

[DapMeUp!]

No no no breh, he's the number 1 artist, he's unavoidable.



I haven't even been avoiding this nikka ACTIVELY and I couldn't tell you thing 1 about his music.

He a cac who make pop songs over cloud trap beats. Its not hiphop besides the drumkits being used and tha fact he has nikkas rap on his traccs with him. Dude is on top bc he obv got a push and his music is easily digestable and repeatable with just enuf "edge" to seem authentic to cacs n casuals.

I kno plenty ppl(mostly women) who fuc with his singles heavy. Im in LA and they play his shyt consistently on both the pop and rap stations....its unavoidable if u listen to radio which is why i call on ppl who claim they never heard any of his songs.

Also ppl keep talkin bout gatekeepers and if blac ppl were in charge dudes like Post wouldnt be around. I call bs bc dudes like LA Reid and Usherhave helped cac artists get on maybe more than blac artists.

Post is just tha Elvis of hiphop....a cac who found a way to make a watered down, easily marketed version of a blac artform

Post Malone is all over pop radio .. I don’t buy it

 

[DapMeUp!]

What's Radio?

We still in the 90's?

 

[Trot LaRoc]

Ppl still listen to radio in they whip believe it or not

 

[DapMeUp!]

I hear that.

But to say you don't believe people haven't heard his tracks just because he's all over the radio.

There are plenty of tracks on the charts I had no idea existed, neither do I know what they sound like because I don't listen to the radio.

Post ain't getting play in the clubs I go to either. I won't lie like I haven't heard Rockstar out but he's certainly not heavy in the club like that.

No way is this dusty cac 23 years old

 

[Insensitive]

Young black youth don't dictate what's hot anymore. They did in the 90s but that changed in the mid 2000s

Oh they definitely still do

The slang, apparel and music choice is still being moved by young black people for better or worse.

 

[Insensitive]

Oh and...

The real heads know.

fukk a post malone.
