Post Malone

[midtown 3345]

Surprised there isn't a thread.  He's pretty popular  Has Texas roots.   Some people think he's a poser.   I like his music and I'm not sure anyone is making music like he is or really ever has.   What's the shag consensus?

[BoomMF 1398]

Team Post Malone.

I'm not in high school anymore so I couldn't care less if he's a poser or not, I just dig his music. By his interviews he seems like a chill likable dude too. Check out his Hot Ones interview, funny stuff.

Until Post Malone it had always been a huge mystery to me that despite being the fourth largest metro area in the country and so close to rap star fertile Houston and New Orleans, DFW had never produced a massively popular hip-hop/rap superstar (I'm not counting Vanilla Ice who from what I could tell repped being from Miami more than Dallas or someone like Dorrough who I don't think has had anywhere near the kind of airplay or chart success).

I thought I was out of touch when acl booked a bunch of edm “bands”. Then the post Malone craze came along and now I feel worse. 

[NOMAAA 1696]

Not to say it’s bad, just old and I don’t get it.

Ra-ta-ta-taaah

[Rollo Tomassi 80]

This music style has passed me by, but my 17 & 15 yr olds love them some Post Malone.

[C-Man 27187]

Heard the other day that Post Malone has done something that nobody -- not even the Beatles -- has ever done. He had nine songs in the Hot 100 songs at one time. The Beatles and J. Cole once had six. I hate this fucking country sometimes.

Looks like a Drag-Rat. Another artist that used Hip-Hop to make it mainstream and then showed his true musical roots once the teenagers were on board. So basically he's a male Miley Cyrus. She looks like she smells like ashtrays too.

So he's also smart.

If the criteria to be considered smart is having done one smart thing (which may or may not be influenced by your handlers) I suppose a lot more of the world's population is smarter than I thought. So, sure, you're right.

[bschoolprof 6252]

My 11 year old loves him.  At least he's more melodic than most rap/hip hop guys.  I don't think he's that great, but I'm old and like old fart music.  

[Helobious 9450]

I don’t really like his music that much. 

[tokamak 6391]

Gave it a listen today because it's so big with the kids right now. Not for me. Guess my conversion to old fart is pretty much complete.

[The Dude 1244]

Yeah the Jazz just haven’t been the same since

I have an 11 year old that loves him some Post Malone too. I was surprised when he told me that.

Mine also. Some of Post’s stuff is pretty good and I actually dig it. The rest of the shitty trap garbage he likes is flat awful. “Pillls, hoes, money, weed” over and over. Ugh

[Celery Man 20931]

Someone post a video of his that's good.  I don't mean like "he's shit, prove me wrong" -  I mean like "I made it 20 seconds into something but was meh and would probably actually listen to a song if I knew it was a good representation

[BoomMF 1398]

Apparently he just did a show in Memphis, got bit by the Elvis bug, and on his way through Nashville sat in with a band at Tootsie's and sang That's Alright Momma. That's alright with me.

[Goo Punch 4275]

He’s got some a few videos of himself singing country on YouTube. I like him. I’ve only heard a few songs, and they were pretty good, but it’s the interviews/behind the scene footage I’ve seen that makes me like him. Seems like a pretty cool guy. Nice guy, not all occupied with being violent and angry like a lot of his peers.

[Errestaurants 2570]

Pretty sure he graduated from Grapevine High School. Don't really like his music but he is obviously very creative which I can respect. Not sure how many Uzis he saw going Ra-ta-ta-taaah on Glade and 26. The creativity that people like Post Malone and Cody Jinks has is really mind blowing wish i had just 1% of their creative mind. Post singing about guns and stuff and Cody being a Heavy Metal guy from Haltom City and now a Country Western star.  No hate from me hell Im jealous of their talents.

Post is the biggest for sure. Don't sleep on Yella Beezy coming out of Oak Cliff. 

Dorrough got hated on locally cause he was from Lancaster claiming Dallas. Post Malone has missed all that local bullshit and just blew up

Where do ya'll put The D.O.C.? no doubt his accident put a damper on things but he helped put a genre of rap on mainstream radio while writing for Ruthless and Death Row

I don’t know that any of it is good, let alone great. You’d probably have the same inexplicable reaction to License To Ill as my parents did back in the day when I was 10. Simplistic, repetitive and rather dumb-it’s what kids crave.,

[Celery Man 20931]

Yeah but we're twenty posts in talking about how this guy is really creative and talented and some of his stuff is pretty good.  It's not a school talent show where you're looking for the upside to a 9 year old playing recorder - there's a song you guys like, right?  But some of it sucks?  What's one of the good ones, because I'd like to give it a shot.

[midtown 3345]

I like go flex a lot.

I hope my daughter brings him home for Christmas, so I can beat the everloving shit out of that little fuck.

[Incredulity 11650]

I really don’t get the allure.  All of his songs/singing/rapping seem like something nearly anyone cold do.  Monotone droning doesn’t do much for me.

But they didn't.  That's kind of like saying.  Anyone can create windows software.   If it was so obviously easy why is he blowing up by doing it?    My understanding is that a lot of his rise is from the fact that he utilized soundcloud to get a ton of followers and once he dropped an album social media blew him up.

Post Malone was the infield concert at Preakness. Definitely trying to grab new demographic.

[drifter379 1106]

Ive seen some interviews and I dig the kid. The music, not so much.

[deft 6837]

Psycho
Rockstar
Spoil my night
Ball for me

Those are all good songs from the newest album and worth checking out. Sorry for no links...on the mobile.

[tbone_ 14110]

Meh. I don't hate it as much as I expected to though.

[NateHitch 1282]

Couldn't name 2 songs of his, I do like the Congratulations song, but I see videos of him pop up on the twitter where he's singing with a mariachi band or singing some cheesy 80's song with a group of friends.  Based on what I've seen he seems hard to not like.  I think I'm getting too old for his music, my 11 year old loves him, but he seems like he'd be a blast to have a few beers with

[Goo Punch 4275]

Yeah exactly. While the MO of most of today’s rappers is to SCREAM incessantly about how many people they’ve killed and hard and legit they are (even the chubby, 5’6” ones with rainbow hair) this guy just seems to be a normal dude who doesn’t take himself nearly as seriously, which is appealing.

[MaybeACoordinator 8349]

Y'all Dallas fucks ain't recognize Money Waters yet? 

 

 

[ShaggyBevo RIP 3868]

My kids love him. I had no idea DJ Screw's slowed down syrup sipping sound went mainstream.

The guy is a pretty funny goofball and would fit right in on the surly. He doesn't take himself seriously at all. He's well aware he's living a charmed life and he is thankful for it. Likes to amuse himself with photo bombing with that huge goofy grin of his.  He put his name in an online your rap name generator,  a few years ago, and it came up Post Malone and he went with it.

[immortal13 4059]

Very cool, did not know that about his name

[Buzzrock 14902]

He’s headlining Music Midtown in Atlanta and I’d never heard of him so I flipped through his top tracks on Spotify. He sort of has a Lil Dicky vibe but I think LD is a much more talented rapper, and more creative lyrically.

[Guest]

I don't dig it. Just me, though, y'all rock on.

[Bookman 4638]

I just discovered this guy. Not really my type of music, but he has some good songs and he's really talented.

Here's a Nirvana tribute he did last year during the shutdown to raise money for the WHO.

 

[Bookman 4638]

I've spent the last four days listening to his music and god damn I think he is talented.

Can't believe I'm actually listening to hip hop.

I listened to him like 10 times like that. Tried to like him but didn’t understand or get it, then bam it happened. He’s good he’s talented and from what I’ve read/seen seems like a good dude that likes to party and drink bud light
