No lies in this piece

 

Oct 30, 2018

woof

 

Oct 30, 2018

I mean I think Post is overhyped as the next guy but this is brutal

lol @ the old "don't kids care about real music these days!?!?!?" people in the comment section

"Post Malone’s music is dead-eyed and ignorant, astonishingly dull in its materialism, an abandoned lot of creativity with absolutely no evidence of traffic in his cerebral cortex — and there’s also a negative side. Even if his intention is sincere homage, the bludgeoning witless imitation can’t help but feel like minstrelsy."

don't agree with this at all.

i think he's one of the more talented rappers out right now. abandoned creativity? that's like the exact opposite of what post's music is like. this article just goes to show that just because you can write well......doesn't mean you're a good judge of music quality

Hardly know anything bout him but g.d. he got destroyed.

“As if things couldn’t get any worse, Post Malone posed a question to the crowd: “Do you guys mind if I play my guitar for you?” he asked rhetorically, smoking a cigarette, sitting down for the part of the show where you are supposed to believe that he’s an artiste because he can competently strum an instrument.”

a. he demonstrably is not; he's obviously replacement-level at best
b. post malone would jump out of his shoes to tell you that he's not a rapper, all while getting rich off of rap and its aesthetics and undermining it as a medium at every turn

oh my god man

 

Oct 30, 2018

not wrong but odd timing/target

 

Oct 30, 2018

post def has fantasies he's bradley cooper in star is born

"posty"

 

Oct 30, 2018

well it's ostensibly a review of his festival in dallas this wknd, which the critic was attending

 

Oct 30, 2018

well fair then, i was under the impression he was halfway faded into obscurity at this point

 

Oct 30, 2018

unfortunately no, he keeps picking up steam and is one of the 2-4 biggest artists in the world atm for some godforsaken reason

 

Oct 30, 2018

ha ha! you have to listen to him while he barely gets coverage where i live *blows raspberries*

 

Oct 30, 2018

also might be worth noting ages ago i saw some old, 5 min home-video of post malone and his cronies...

think of comic-con, but the people who are actually mentally ill congregating in the same house acting like autists. that's what I saw and ever since Post is just an a----burger rapper to me

 

Oct 30, 2018

that was a rly good read, makes great points

i dont even mind postys music, and that piece made me think about when or why im actually listening to him

and the answer is definitely while drinking mindlessly

This article is the perfect article for this American moment. That’s not a compliment.

Quite a drubbing, but what an incredibly soft target to go in on.

Guys like Weiss will call balls and strikes on posers, but as we see in the article can't take off the rose tinted glasses for guys like Future who have plenty of problematic qualities.
