White iverson is a rip off of what chief,thugger,future was doing at the time so was too young
I’m questioning OP’s point. MGK can only make this music now with commercial success and an audience because he spent his career making money and connections in the industry off Black music. He agrees with me his rap s*** is horrific. It is 1000x times easier for him to make derivative lifeless pop punk and be successful with it because of the audience and industry connections he has now, and pop punk is a white dominated genre he has no trouble transitioning into.
I’m not talking about it that deep
This is literally the only song I like from him and I found it while playing Tony Hawk
My opinion is purely surface level
If he does rap he's a culture vulture
If he does this you say something too
hes not a culture vulture for making rap music
Ok so when young thug and future sings that’s not rap either?
It depends on the song.
Rapping and Singing has a lot of overlap today. But Thug and Future still have a lot of songs where their ONLY rapping.
I have never heard a post malone song where he's just spitting bars and not singing or being melodic, when he first blew up he was always singing on his songs, so he to say if he was "strictly rap" doesn't make any sense.
I dont like this framing MGK doing a pop punk album as ditching hip hop, hes been doing music similar to this his entire career but this time he went fully into it. He isnt post malone or kid rock
Tbh. The fact that hip hop has so many unwritten rules and is gatekept as f*** is the reason why im not surprised niggas want to leave.
It's also why you see a lot of BLACK artists in hip hop don't want to be labeled "rappers" specifically because along with that comes a lot of bullshit standards you're held to.
So he's not allowed to try a new lane?
When Wayne and cudi did it they killed them for it lol
When Wayne and cudi did it they killed them for it lol
Everyone who wasn't a "dusthead" gave them props for trying something new. Only problem was their albums SUCKED
Creatively, it’s his best project. It’s crazy that it took him this long to do this but I hope he sticks with it.
Eminem really made this man go full white.
And get a better girl. He needs to thank Marshall.
getting famous off black culture then ditching it shouldn't be celebrated
What's he gonna do? Keep flopping for life?
