His old album that dropped in 2016 still charts in the top 10 and is a few weeks away from beating a record set by Michael Jackson with thriller. His popularity has slowly exploded.


The fact a post Malone album is going to break a record from THRILLER is insane to me

The way people consume music has changed so drastically since Thriller tho. ANY song can now be “on the charts” because the people can play any song they like as much as they want not just the single that gets chosen by the label. Now EVERYONE has access to listen to the music any time they like where before you HAD to buy the stuff you wanted to hear, if you dubbed it from a friend that didn’t count as a sale.

He really was. He was destined to be on that mount Rushmore of mumble rap..

Can’t believe we’re talking about him in the past tense now
Wouldn't say XXXtentacion was a mumble rapper

Still don't know wtf a mumble rapper is
I love XXX but with the allegations he would have never been the #1 guy
Don't matter. Those allegations boosted his notoriety. He had a dedicated legion of stans and was becoming this cult like positive figure, add that to his musical versatility across genres dude was going to be a beast.

Those allegations helped him somewhat but Twitter was bashing that dude these last couple months, you think SJWs finally allow someone accused of beating woman at the too

you crackers and new black c00ns let it happen when yall let artist like Lil b and Tyler the Creator by, by simply excusing their wackness as trolling or calling it obscure "art". Which led to other booty ass black suburban "rappers" like Travis Scott to hit the wave. This is the result.
:mindblown:

Post Malone is famous because some guys like Lil b?:heh:

:camby: with this dumb crap. Post Malone is famous because he's an industry plant that makes horrible vanilla shyt that's then spread through the industry machine and social media. Lil B has a cult following that has nothing to do with the industry at all. They literally have nothing in common.



It's deeper than that. Logic is from Montgomery County, Maryland. MoCo is so white that most of the so-called black people in Mo County are African immigrants. All of the "black people" in MoCo are Ethiopians, Nigerians etc. and they generally look down on nikkas and refuse to live around nikkas while :cape: for cacs. Literally all of the black people in the DMV live in DC east of 13 th st, NE & SE DC and PG County. Black people who are actually descendants of slaves in Mo County are super c00ns who don't mind being a token around a bunch of snobby wet dog smelling passive aggressive racist soulless Potomac/Bethesda/Chevy Chase cacs who look like the people from the Polo catalog. :scusthov: MoCo is so white, Peter Rosenberg's corny cac ass is considered as "acting too black" by Chevy Chase standards which is why he had to move to NYC to actually make a decent living. Logic makes Drake look like Bizzy Bone in 1994. At least Drake came out with an all black crew (Young Money) and Drake actually messes with black women. Logic doesn't even rock a black hairstyle he's so white culturally. Black women ain't checking for Logic even though he's rich because he's a protypical nerdy gamer cac in personality and appearance. Culturally, Logic is as white as Leave it to Beaver. And cacs love him for it. :smugdraper:
Why post if you know literally nothing about his life? There are 200,000 Black people in Montgomery County and you know the life histories of every one? :dahell:

I don't fukk with Logic's music because it bores me to be honest, but Leave it to Beaver? He grew up on welfare, his mom was a prostitute and and literally every male in his family was either a crack addict or a dealer. He was kicked out of high school and never finished. The son of the family he lived with after his parents gave him up is now doing 14 for attempted murder. :heh:

We let it happen. :yeshrug: We give way too much passes to racists and culture vultures because they are so called down :mjlol:

Drake is still bigger but Post is going to take his spot as number one soon.

If only that planned black executive ownership deal went through early in the early 2000s, hip hop would be very different today. We had the 80s, 90s and early 2000s to get our shyt right but we messed up.

Keep thinking black folks are responsible for the majority of record sales brehs

shyt was gonna die down

X had a connection with this generation because of the depression themes in his music. This generation is obsessed with mental health. He had a whole legion of stans did the most numbers out the new gen and was only gonna get bigger, I wasn't even a fan of dude but I see he was gonna be huge.

Yelawolf basically tried his whole career to do what Post Malone did. Fans choose who they choose.


y'all gonna really miss Drake and prime Eminem when Post Malone becomes the face of mainstream hip-hop. Post finally get all the Grammy nominations
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

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:
