![]() If Post Malone doesn't recognize this he's only been listening with half an ear." Michael Harriot at The Root wrote, "If white privilege somehow became a person, learned how to make shitty music and covered its weak, undefined, inbred jawline with an unkempt beard, I'd name it Post Malone." UPROXX's hip-hop editor, Aaron Williams, said, "Historically and currently, rap has always talked about "real sh*t," from interpersonal issues to social justice. Taken together, Malone has come in for some heavy-duty flack. "Like, maybe my music's not the best, but I know I'm not a bad person, so you're just being a hater." He doubled down on his comments and said he was a victim of reverse-racism because of the exchange. "I wish I'd said, 'What are you doing for Black Lives Matter?' Some sassy shit to shut him up," he told RS. I don't know." In the RS interview, Malone had a new answer. Short version: In a 2015 radio interview, Charlamagne asked Malone about supporting Black Lives Matter, and Malone gave an awkward answer about the best way to help the movement was for him to "keep making music. Frank Ocean's 2016 hit album Blonde featured "Nikes," a heartbreaking song referencing the death of Trayvon Martin, while Blood Orange's 2016 album Freetown Sound was a complex look at the queer black experience in gentrified Brooklyn.īut worse for Malone, his views put his can't-let-it-go comments about Charlamagne tha God in a recent Rolling Stone profile in a stark light. There's Tyler the Creator's coming-out album, Flower Boy, and Future's magnum opus, Codeine Crazy. That's an objectively strange thing to say, considering the crazy amount of emotionally-rap out there. 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.Post Malone in his music video for "Congratulations". ![]() I've legit only heard 3 songs from him, white iverson, rockstar or whatever, and that spiderman song. There are thousands of shitty millionaires in the world, don't see a reason to hate on him over anyone else. 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. 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. So he gets the culture vulture label, which he might be, probably. 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. He's just another sound cloud rapper but he hit it big, most likely because he's white, let's be realģ. I feel like most of the hate Post Malone get's is becauseĢ. It may not be a year from now, two or five, but in the future he will take his millions of dollars, get lazer surgery to remove his face tattoo's and denounce his "wild and crazy 20's" as just a phase when he steps into the realm of country and abandons one spotlight for another. other pop artists do their own thing and are completely vanilla earworm music. he deserves all of the hate and vitriol he gets because he's a theif. he's using the imagery of black artists, a lot of whom will never be able to leave their regional fame or lack thereof while he copies their style (pathetically) and takes in millions of dollars and adoring fans while completely half assing "the work" he does. he doesn't give a fuck about the culture, the people who created it and the language he adopted to make himself millions of dollars. This seems to be a fundamental either misunderstanding or completely ignoring the point that Post Malone has proven time and time again that he doesn't actually give a fuck about hip-hop. Because those other artists didn't shit on the art form they're reaping money and rewards from and throwing other contemporary artists under the bus.
