"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," he said in a video interview, after joking that he had a lot of emotions because he's white. "There's great hip-hop songs where they talk about life and they spit that real s***, but right now, there's not a lot of people talking about real s***. Whenever I want to cry, whenever I want to sit down and have a nice cry, I'll listen to some Bob Dylan.“
turns out that quote of him saying hip-hop isn't a genre you should listen to when you want to "feel something" was actually just how he sincerely felt. i genuinely defended that as him badly phrasing a point about how vapid mainstream rap can be, but i was giving him too much credit lol.
yea i gave him the benefit of the doubt with that for years and i feel like i just got spat on with these past 2 singles
Country fans have to be the cheapest dates on earth. Theres no way it should be this easy to infiltrate.
lets see if he can get a country hit without featuring someone else though

Lmao he dropped 3 garbage albums in a row no one liked and said s*** you know who might like some generic trash? Pop country fans
rappers from atl talking about percs and dracos somehow has more meaning than beer cups and pretty girl truck music like ts in op
I like how he hasn't changed his avy in like 14 years
He had country influences all over Stoney
nothing like this shelton song tho, its been a soft launch the past couple years
bruh this reply wtf
Genuinely feel so weird about his s*** now. His whole first few albums seem so fake in hindsight.
Bruh he was making myspace meme videos in short shorts of course it was fake

True idk I always felt like that even felt more self aware somehow, but fair point lmao

The short shorts video was self aware he was having fun and being himself, a goofy Hs kid
Then he “wanted to be A$AP Rocky and Travis Scott” (his words not mine), went through a phase and went all the way in on it, then hopped back out
He either lost his self-awareness at some point or he was self-aware to the point where he was finessing. Bad look either way but the latter is worse fs
I mean tbh a lot of white people I’ve known have gone through a phase like there where they overtly try to grab hold on a culture they’re not from. I think what he said about hip hop was s***ty and untrue but I also don’t really think I was looking at Post Malone more than anything than what he was which was a white dude making catchy music that was hip hop adjacent/influenced. I never even considered him as a rapper so I never felt like he was hip hop in the first place
Didn’t he even say he wanted to branch into other genres?
It was pretty evident he was borderline cosplaying a rapper

true
If he does decide to go full on country i would like him to be at least a little creative with it. hopefully his album doesn't sound like this song dropping tonight
