Don't forget his "equality's gotta go both ways" line when questioned about BLM and cultural appropriation.
Post Malone is the perfect pop star for this American moment. That’s not a compliment. [WaPo]

Don't forget his "equality's gotta go both ways" line when questioned about BLM and cultural appropriation.
They're right though. His bland and generic tracks combined with his tatted up PBR spokesman look are worthy of all the earth's eyes rolling in unison.
I feel like most of the hate Post Malone get's is because
1. He looks like he doesn't shower
2. He's just another sound cloud rapper but he hit it big, most likely because he's white, let's be real
3. But for a lot of people it's prob because of the comment he made about rap not being able to convey emotion or something. So he gets the culture vulture label, which he might be, probably. Among other dumbass things he's said, like "our votes don't matter", but I'm sure that's a lot of dumbass early 20 somethings.
Just know that in five years, no ones gonna give a shit who he is, for better or for worse, so theres no point getting mad about it. There are thousands of shitty millionaires in the world, don't see a reason to hate on him over anyone else.
I've legit only heard 3 songs from him, white iverson, rockstar or whatever, and that spiderman song. I actually like the spiderman song a lot, but if you didn't tell me it was Post Malone on it I wouldn't of known, you could of subbed him out for anyone and it wouldn't of mattered.

This. Dear god people Post Malone don't need you feeling sorry for him.
He's made some good tracks and some pretty trash and vapid ones that are ultra catchy, so much of this criticism falls flat.
Also, some of the article is weak as fuck but trying to make up for it by using bigger words. "He has nothing happening in his cerebral cortex" = "his brain is poopy lol".
He's not an amazing artist, but he's not the worst. He probably wouldn't catch so much heat if he didn't shit on the genre he makes his money from.

Bunch of old heads talking about respecting the past and the craft, like it's an actual entity. Yet I bet they're the same people who shit on those that talk about needing to respect the anthem and America. Naw bruh, unless I missed something about him actively shitting on hip hop culture, I couldn't give two fucks.
"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" - Post Malone, 2017
lol exactly! so try hard and sweaty.
Go do something productive! For example, use this article to showcase a newcomer to a scene. Instead, he chose to think about how many times can I insult Post Malone..? So lazy and unproductive.
These pretentious yuppie music writers are so cheesy.

"Just music"
Damn, dude doesn't even want to pluck his unibrow
Guess it doesn't matter when you're that famous tho
Wow, even this guy has stans.
Does your first post in this thread which was solely about how much you don't care about the topic count as try hard?

Dead don't throw fists.
Goddamn.
If I was Post, we fighting.
I sometimes just fire this thing up on Spotify to laugh at how poorly it aged. It's just complete garbage aside from the weirdly decent Everlast/Mobb Deep thing
Never heard of this guy but man is his music boring. Jesus. Fucking snooze-fest all around. I just spent five minutes listening to his songs, they actually all sound the same.
lol I don't care about Post Malone. Insert any artist in the article and it wouldn't make a difference to me. It's the "elitetism" in music that I cannot stand for. I work in a music shop and I hear the same shit everyday. All these 30+ year old "heads" do is shit on things. No one is positive and they spend more time saying how "it's not like it used to be", instead of maybe uncovering cool new music and being productive about their knowledge. It's such old guy cheese. So stale.
On another note, if an artist rose up from Soundcloud looking like this, I'd be down with them
this. the diversity of music out there right now is just exceptional, if you want it you can find it
It's that fucking theremin that gets it over the line.
Everlast changing the lyric to "official white folk murderers" will never fail to make me roll my eyes.
OP
OP
Imagine thinking the most lyrically driven genre of music isn't about lyrics just because you have shitty ones.
To be fair he looks high as shit in the video and he may be thinking of central and south america in his brain. The other videos are hilarious tho
Yeah, that was a weird choice. I guess I just appreciate Everlast for trying something that isn't just adding fucking down tuned distorted guitars to everything.
Post always reminds me of someone who wanted to become a rockstar but everyone wanna be a rapper and it's easy money. I don't listen to him outside of if I hear his music in some store.
I think the writer was mocking him for being distilled marketing/commercialism, on a level even more blatant than what we're already used to. Like he originally came up as a guitarist, but ended up writing the blandest pop/rap music that was spit out of a money-making algorithm.
I had no idea who most of the people mentioned in this thread are, but after doing some research I feel like hip-hop is now dead and we are just waiting for its bastard son to show his face. That Jackie Chan song from Post Malone is one of the reasons I now drive in silence when I'm too lazy to turn on Bluetooth.
"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," Malone said at around the 7:20 mark. "There's great hip-hop songs where they talk about life and they really spit that real shit, but right now, there's not a lot of people talking about real shit."
This is the full quote, people tend to leave the second part out.
That's hardly any better. It's like when macklemore was praised for having something to say
How is that the same at all? You can disagree with the opinion I guess. But you're(or people in general when they bring up the half quote) purposefully ignoring the following sentence for context and blanket him as just disrespecting hip hop.
But...there are a lot of current rappers that do spit real shit.
Sure... but like, is this "hot off the press" information? Who cares, it's Post Malone. It sucks, we get it. Use this column to share new music and showcase some undiscovered talent. He spent all this time coming up with "clever" insults and nothing informative was gained from this article. Go spend that time and effort looking for new music! Why even bother?? Jeff Weiss, go listen to Illmatic for the millionth time and fuck off with your prentension.
