Why Post Malone Abandoned Hip Hop
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 ก.พ. 2025
- Post Malone is one of the biggest stars in the world right now. But, what’s crazy is that listeners who are just discovering him at the moment might not actually know that he started out in hip-hop. After all, he hasn't collaborated with a rapper on any of his albums since 2022, nor does he step back into that world to provide many features these days or put on for new artists. Instead, he now makes country music.

Post Malone went from a place where he was tolerated and moved to a place where he is embraced and i can't be mad at him for doing so.
looking at the fans he got and the features he got he seemed very embraced to me, its like seeing a stranger walk into your house no one is inviting but after chat you reach a point of understanding. Mack and post were the reason the hip hop fanbase has become so guarded against the outsider finding fame in it cause they dont show the genre any respect; and dont say its a race thing they did this to uzi, carti and boat too, tylor got hit too but he explained himself so the fanbase gave him a pass
Pall wall gets more love in the genre more than him, wonder why? One is a pilgrim who claimed to love what he saw and interacted with but had other motives.
That's one way to put it
Yea no he used hip hop to get in let’s be real
That's what I feel as well, a white person rarely gets any acceptance from a black dominated genre. Even Eminem gets looked down upon by many rappers and rap fans because of his skin color. It's no surprise he'd rather switch to a white-dominated music genre
Omg I’m actually stunned to see Adam16 seriously call *anybody* a culture vulture with a straight face! Wow, that man’s lack of self awareness is astounding, the absolute cheek of it!
The 16 will say/do anything to stay relevant
@@cathyannis83 yeah I thought that was a bit crazy too lmao like how did everyone let that just slide
He quite literally helped form the underground internet rap culture. He is far from a culture vulture lol
@@smithgeoMP4 no he helped SoundCloud rappers get more publicized you and Mr.16 don't know shit about underground hip-hop 🤦♂️
@@shaDenied yeah exactly. I’m talking about the internet bro lol. Why are you so mad?😂😂 did Adam touch you too?
Crazy how ppl say Post clout chased Hip Hop whereas Ice Spice and Sexyy Red built their entire career in clout chasing. Atleast Post has a passion for making music, unlike this new gens of "Rap"
Okay Hater 🙄
People fucking hate Ice Spice and Sexyy Redd. Bro arguing with ghosts
@@DragonoftheDarknessFlame I don't
Tf?!?
They are black women who grew up immersed in black culture
Post isn't a rap artist, rock artist, pop artist or country artist. He's simply an artist with no boundaries and has blended genres from the jump. He's an amazing talent and an even better person!
I fuk with this.
This is what people don't see
They put everyone in a box and just expect them to stay there
Some artists transcend genre and Post is one of them
That and he's a human who became pretty famous at a super young age and has always addressed what is going on
Yasssss 🙏♾🥷
lol no hes just a pop artist and makes whatever is popular at the moment. Like most commercial pop artists hes literally no different at all he just hit the jackpot with white iverson lol. Culture vultre straight up
There’s literally photos of post Malone with Carti and uzi at their underground shows in 2015… he grew up and his sound grew with him, just like any other artist. He’s clearly a very humble and nice man and the world beat him up over everything he accomplished. I don’t even listen to him now but I can see his heart. Leave Post alone man
They hated him for being a part of hip-hop and told him to leave hip-hop. Then when he did leave hip-hop they hated on him again.
Yeah but who cares, post music gets all the views lol so yeah
That’s the hip hop community if you white. Pop and country have embraced Post. I don’t follow him. But I know people love him b/c he down to earth and he’s good to his fans.
He just uses what is going viral, rap was becoming viral because of lil peep , x , juice, then when lil nas blow up with western hiphop post malone went into it too, then beyonce, give it a time, and he will switch to something else. As someone said he's culture vulture, going from this to this. Anyway peoples seems to love to call charistmatic and good actors "good peoples" If you want to know how good peoples are, do a check on AMy winehouse, they put her to her coffin, was a good person and vulnerable, and no one cared for her. Don't come with "they cared" if they did she was alive, she needed a frend to help her out.
@ Hahahahahahaha. Aaaahhhhh. I think you are thinking of Eminem, he popularized Hip Hop in Middle America.
Lil peep, x, and juice are no body’s compared to Eminem, how could they have made Hip Hob Viral, if anything they made hip hop a joke.
I honestly don’t even know who peep, x, and juice are. 😅😂☠️.
How can there D list rappers make thst much of an impact on hip hop over someone like Eminem and what he achieved. 😅😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣
Victim mindset they have.
Post started his musical career in a metalcore band so him being genre fluid isnt that mindblowing
Paul Wall is completely different, he's really like that 24/7, it would be weird if Paul Wall dropped a country album. lol
paul is black in my book.
I agree. There’s no comparison
@@LiberalGarbageMedia I actually just watched an interview with Paul Wall for the fun of it, and he said he grew up with chamillionaire, and he didn't even know he was white lol
@@NeighborhoodWatchMannlol 😂
He did. Literally. A song. I don’t like anyone who is considered “American Black” nothing wrong with being an artist. Who isn’t low IQ. Like Caitlin Clark, envy. Which is black culture. And I’ve seen it when at Uni in US and working part time jobs. Even myself for sounding white.
I love post Malone authenticity, he also has produce great music like: Sunflower, better now,Circle, Rockstar, Congratulations,Chemical, Wow,and white Iverson. His too goated
He started off wanting to do country music. Same with Taylor Swift. Miley was also pushed as r&b when she wanted to break away from the Hannah Montana image. Many artists are pushed as r&b when they first break out. The labels push for what is more popular. Pink is another example. Research is key.
At this point hip hop doesn’t respect anyone 😭
They don’t fr! 😂
Especially Fantano
But seriously I hope this comment gets more likes than that onlyfans bot with the huge cake
(Nvm the bot is gone thank the Lord)
hip hop is a complete circus now. Thank gen z
Lol 😂
Can’t give any respect if they don’t have any for themselves
I respect Post for being a genuine nice dude, humble, and completely humbled charlamagne the clown
Everyone does respect him, he literally just charted Top 5 on The billboard hot 100 on a country song
Very nice guy ... meant him two ✌🏼 times here in Vegas......... very humble respectful guy
He is so nice. Plays magic the gathering! Does country. Here in Spain, every woman’s crush. Charlamagne, is seen as stereotypical in more ways than one. Only respected by his low IQ community.
what the fuck are you talking about
Charlamagne is a racist and generally a bad human.... He always hates on people for being successful and for being white
Post even rejected a spot on xxl freshman because he never felt he was a rapper.

@@CB-vx9yp Thanx 😊
They didn’t like him being a rapper in the beginning and now they’re mad at him for leaving. 😂
Even with a breakdown video, it still went over your head
Definitely sounds like there's music Apartheid in America. Sounds like people take this a bit too seriously and expect you to assimilate with their culture to do a type of music whereas it's supposed to be whether it sounds good or not. This could leave Post Malone with a distaste for black people because of how they treated him based on his skin color and his white boy trailer park personality.
Who's mad exactly
@@Junior-llll Maybe look up who created most of the genres the world enjoys. Then you might get a better idea.
@@bhhaaaal That's not the point. And with that being said, for better or for worse we are all partakers of someone else's culture. But we should be allowed to do so without duress and constant scrutiny.
The criticism they give post, they also give to Eminem and Eminem never left hip hop. He always gives his flowers. He lives and breaths hip hop but people still don’t respect him. It was never going to matter what post did. He was gonna lose regardless.
Exactly Eminem has stuck around for the longest and people still shit on em for some reason or another
And his song black bitc(h)?
Em is a spitting machine, he's probably the most legendary rapper humanity would ever witness, and Post is just a hit maker, I love how much of a flexible artist he is, people like these two, so gifted, would inevitably receive more hate than appreciation untill they're gone,
To this fucking day I hear people saying Slim is a “guest in the house of hip-hop”.
@ people that say that have no clue what there talking about😂😂😂
Fun fact: Post Malone tried to audition for a metal band in 2010, but he broke his guitar string so he didn’t get the job
Bet the metal band now wished that he didnt break it haha

Bro can change genres if he wants too.
The world seems to expect you to stay in one place.
Glad he left the trashfire genre of Rap.
Modern rap is just nothing but pure hatred, disrespect and greed for the wrong attention. Artists aren’t respected, some normalized criminalization at a young age, etc.
@@1zAlfonzothe history behind it is something you painfully obviously have not been too much acquainted with & so…. simply put, it’s just not for you or your kinda folks & i assure you that you aren’t looked to for your commentary nor your valuation on a culture & space that you can’t even get into, appreciate or respectfully understand (yet you chose to watch an entire video about & give your worthless 2¢ on only to negate your point & further reinforce mine)- it ain’t for you & i promise nobody ‘round here is losing money, sleep or relevance from you not forcing your trashy stamp of approval ‘pon it… Only idiots look at hip-hop as a monolith or a universally bad thing when everyone knows there’s levels to it & not everyone is at the same level. If it’s so bad then why ya boy even wore its mask for so long defended it with his whole whiite boi heart, that part just caught a flight to go way over your head, ain’t it?? Pssshht BYEEE✌🏾
@@NoLuvCitydoesn't change that it's the most toxic and gate kept genre in history
If you're a white in hip hop you will never ever be rated your worth and EM is the best example of this
Word
I know. I don’t see a problem but people want him to do what THEY want him to do.
Personally, I respect how Posty feels. I understand when he says "He's not a rapper, he just makes some rap music". Personally, "Twelve Carat Toothache" is my fav album by him bc it gave what I love from him, rap and pop. "F1-Trillion" is my least fav bc I don't really fuck with Country music, but I understand and respect that he's doing what he wants to do.
Bruh I was so mad he changed to country like why!!! he could be doing pop and it'd be great. Ohh well
@@TobiasCastillo-f7u exactly my thoughts
But I guess will have to wait until he feels like doing some pop again
Post Malone just loves music, He's a huge country, rap and metal fan, he even auditioned to be in Crown the Empire, he also was good friends with the lead singer Andy Leo, he's also a huge fan of Megadeth, He's really a fan of music and he doesn't let invisible lines stop him from expressing his love for music. Its hard to not respect that.
Just sounds like a chill dude distancing himself from unnecessary drama
Truthfully he handled this genre switch with grace
The only real fuck up he made was saying hip hop isn’t music you should listen to, to feel something that’s where I can understand a lot of people being frustrated at him
@ we’re talking about hip hop not mumble rap that includes all the 80s 90s and 2000s hip hop music
@@Challa13you are not well connected then if you have that view. Do you know who Benny the butcher is? Joey Badass? What artist are you referring to quando rondo and all them new cats hurt the genre.
@@VermillionThaKidQuando Rondo actually has pain music as well.
That's where his blind spot start to show and fell out with him since!!
yeah but thats more than enough for me to delete his shit off my phone tbh
Rap and country both come from the exact same place and lean themselves to similar topics, it makes sense to me honestly
Blues is literally the oldest genre you can connect to rap and you see how similar it is to country 🤷🏽♀️ I wish my people would do more in depth research on our own culture. They think they know everything…
So country musicians have mass incarceration n homicide issues?
Modern country fans refuse to acknowledge that
Rap = angry black people
Country = sad white people
The people who hate Hip-Hop today, would have surely hated blues music in 1924 because it was vulgar ghetto music about girls and gambling and you were only supposed to make music for God...Being a bluesman in 1924 was the same as being a modern rapper..
His first big single was literally titled “WHITE IVERSON” and people didn’t know he was WHITE? Lol aight, people are dumb.
what do you mean we didn't know he was white? obviously we knew that isn't the problem he used black people and black culture to get big famous and the whole nine you guys claim people hated.. nobodys hated on post for being a white rapper we embraced him gave him hits and blew up his music and he left us
@@yhblarry2605 Around the beginning of the video there were people talking about how they were surprised that he wasn't black
To be honest, I'm a black man by the way, African too. I just feel like the industry is hating, bro's literally doing what he wants to do, what appeals to him more. Isn't he allowed to have an opinion?
Naaa, hip hop fans man.....
"Somethings are just cringeworthy, it ain't even gotta be deep, i guess"💁
I don't hate post, I think he's talented but it doesn't take a genius to see he was larping as a "hiphop/urban" artists with the grills jerseys braids, almost like a caricature when hes not from that life, thats where people get upset, at the appropriation, only to abandon it
@@campar1043oh no they bought what he was selling and now they’re mad about it. I’d bet most people complaining never even listened to him. His “image” was a gimmick sold to teenagers and chicks he never claimed to be about anything
@@Gixsir your last sentence is exactly why people who are truly in the hiphop community feel a certain way about him
@@Gixsirur basically saying he was a fraud and they haters were right lol
you saying "african too" doesn't help your statement btw. Malone's imaged was heavily influenced by black americans, no disrespect
I wouldn’t have an issue if artists like Beyoncé and Tyler, the creator weren’t boxed in to “black” music genres when they decide to try different genres of music. If Post can change genres and get nominated/awarded in different categories so should PoC artists artists
Facts
Ya but Beyonces country music was ass
Beyonce was born in texas
I’m a Beyoncé fan and this isn’t the full story, bc sometimes it can also be us black people who “box-in”ourselves and police each other not to venture too far outside the box and when artists do - people moan and groan. Beyoncé released a wildly popular and critically acclaimed Electronic Dance album and most of the criticism against ‘Renaissance’ came from Black Americans online saying it was _“h&M music”_ or they _“didn’t like house”_ or _“why can’t she do an other R&B album like self-titled?”_ - nobody complained about Beyonce venturing into a new genre more than those Black Americans online. Drake fans did the same when he released “Honestly Nevermind”. Black Americans were rejecting Beyonce experimenting with these sounds whilst everyone else was too busy dancing away to “Break My Soul” with no issue. 🤷🏾♂️
That's why beyonce got all them BET awards and no grammies
Imagine if every country singer of color was told “you have to show the culture respect..”
They do. Go research
@ what did post do to disrespect hip hop culture?
They may, but you and I both know any singling out of musicians of color even if valid would be met with accusations of racism. Even the goat (em) wasn’t safe.
@@warriorminktribe2059Sorry but I thought Shaboozy is thriving in the country music space? Everyone I know fucking loves him
Except they do ALL THE TIME and you saying this at this point in time seeing how much backlash Beyonce got is tone deaf and high key just racist lol There were a ton of POC country artists who came out this year, who never got pushed by popular country music media and still don't.
@@LoveSickWorldyes one person means that POC county artists have it easier the Post Malone lol just say your a racist and move on lol y'all don't even try to hide it or make sense.
Whats wrong with being an Artist? He does every genre.. if your talented enough why can't you? If you notice Hip Hop is really the only Genre that draws lines.. they say respect the culture.. all music has culture. Smh
AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
other genres dont get used by this
@@senku1396literally pop gets used like this 10x more like what lol
At the time, hip hop was the biggest genre ever and one where everyone is looking for a lick. To those who like hip hop, it is neither a lick in or a spring board to something else. That's why those in the game get testy, if you aren't staying loyal to the genre. If hip hop wasn't a big genre, there would be a huge question of whether he would even do hip hop. He originally wanted to do country music, so why didn't he just stand ten toes down for that?
@@jasonbragg8290pop is just short for popular music it's not really a genre with hardcore fanbase just music for anyone and everyone
"Barged his way into hip-hop." Homie dropped a song and got dumb famous off it tf he sposed to do just dip? Nobody like "it was cool to see his take on it" or smth.most hating culture I swear

That is a reach

Don't care about the ha8rs, first they were m@d at Posty when he was successful in Hip-Hop and now when he's moved on to Country and even more successful they're still m@d because it was never about Genre or Culture, it was always about his Success.

Get off his nuts
Who are "the H8ters" let me guess they don't look like u? 😭🤦🏾♂️ Ain't nothing wrong with liking Malone but to say he didn't culture vulture is the problem didn't u watch this video??
Lol the first problem out the gate was labeling him a rapper when he CLEARLY didn’t rap on his songs….
Hip-hop really doesn’t show much love to people who come up in the genre but make it big outside of it. Instead, the community often labels them as culture vultures.
It’s wild, though-nobody cared when Wayne dropped a rock album, Snoop went reggae, Nelly crossed over to pop, or Queen Latifah started singing jazz. Why? Because they didn’t blow up from those moves.
Were they wrong for trying? Not at all. They’re artists, after all; they need to explore and feed that creative itch. Did they all do it purely out of love for their art? Maybe, maybe not. But sometimes artists just need something new to get their creative spark back.
Shoutout to Post Malone, man. Gotta love this guy. I hope he keeps winning so his haters can keep crying.
But who created those genres.
They're weren't "successful" because, they WERE BLACK!! Any time black artist venture out into other genres they aren't embraced in the same way white artist like Post Malone that's the DIFFERENCE!! Post Malone has WHITE SKIN those other artist DO NOT!! We as black people NEED MORE PRIDE IN OURSELVES!!

People are so weird when they act like an artist can only and should only do one Genre
I feel that once you start in hip-hop you can’t go back. It’s like you’re imprisoned to use this style until you die. It seems that you can’t do other types of music. Once a rapper, always a rapper. You can’t evolve artistically. Imagine if you had to keep the same job all your life.
I’ve been a hip-hop fan since childhood but i’m not listening to it 24/7. I have to listen to other genres and if I was doing music i would love to explore other genres, do a jazz album or a rock album, but if i got famous from rap i couldn’t?
Post’s favorite lyricist and artist is Young Thug that doesn’t sound like someone who doesn’t like hip-hop would say. It’s not a rapper for “white people” like g-eazy, macklemore or eminem for example.
Oh and if you can’t do something because the color of your skin, that’s called racism. And i feel like Post Malone must have thought something like “even after doing hip-hop the community doesn’t respect me, then why should I continue in this direction? I’ll go to country where people are going to respect me for my music”.
Called it for what it is... r@cism.
*Post Malone is a POP artist,* he just isn't the conventional cookie-cutter Pop star so y'all had difficulty recognising him as one. In hindsight we can say he's undoubtedly a Pop star and genre chameleon just like Rihanna was. Rihanna came in on the early 00s Dancehall trend w/ the explosion of Sean Paul, then switched to R&B working with Ne-Yo by the mid 00's, by the early 10's she'd switched to EDM working with Calvin Harris & David Guetta, when pop trends shifted again in the mid 10's towards trap beats she worked with Travis Scott etc. *When trends move, Pop artists move* - Don't hate the player, that's the game. You keep up with trends or get left behind. MJ and Madonna continuously did this over decades to keep their new releases relevant.
*Hip-Hop & Trap production **_was_** the Pop music of the late 2010's,* so common sense capitalism dictates that many artists would tap into the sound to be as relevant as possible. *That's not being a vulture, it's just the music business* - if that makes you mad, blame capitalism. Taylor Swift & Ariana Grande were pretty much rapping on Trap production in the late-2010s and collaborating with rappers like Future & Nicki Minaj, and it made them neither Hip-Hop artists nor vultures for tapping into those sounds. The tough pill to swallow for hip-hop fans is that Pop artists *DON'T* have to write a dissertation, or eat, sleep, and breathe hip-hop in order to make a hit record within the spirit of the genre.
Today, Hip-Hop is losing steam it had commercially in the 2020's while Country music is exploding, so here comes multiple artists with their shiny rebrand & Country-leaning singles/albums to show they're still tapped into the current moment. It's nothing personal. It's just the business of Pop music. The hip-hop fans who are salty, are venting their resentment and frustration, because it's far easier for white artists to be genre chameleons than black artists: who perpetually get boxed-into Hip-Hop and R&B, whether they choose to experiment or not.
So pretty much he got hated for doing rap, and now when he isnt doing it anymore he is hated for that. Some people are just jealous.
Had post ONLY stated “I like music and I like all genres and I want to show this talent of how I can do it all”.
If he only said that and never spoke on this again, I promise ppl would never get under his skin due to “I said what I said, don’t half listen or put words in my mouth”.
The man grew up and he chose to stop acting like a kid. Rap music is for the rebellious youth, and I think everyone goes through that phase. You gotta grow up sometime.
I love Post whether he's rap, pop, country. It don't matter to me I respect him and will always love the music.
Who cares where you’re respected if you’re made to feel as if you don’t want to be there?
Are you on the spectrum
The beauty of not being an American is being able to separate race from literally anything and don’t hold it at the forefront of my better judgment. The man makes good music FULL STOP.

As an American, there’s Americans here and African Americans. If you’re Chinese Russian even from kenya you’re just an American. If you’re a black American and you think you have the power to give “passes” to people who use your “culture”, are the people who keep all the race bullshit alive
Oof. This is a very dangerous mindset. Do you believe that JUST because you are from the outside of America that you have a better understanding of race. One thing that should be made clear is that this is AMERICAN MUSIC. Rap was made in America in NY in the 70s. Another problem with what you said is that race was never an issue. You’d understand that if you watched the video. THEIR IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RACE & CULTURE. Unfortunately tho, race and culture are USUALLY very closely tied. The problem wasn’t that posty is white. The problem is that he continued to disrespect & degrade the very genre that made him… or at the very least allowed him to build his initial buzz. Please widen your view of race and culture as your mindset is very dangerous… especially to people of color like myself. You said that because you don’t live in America, your view of race is not at the forefront of your judgment… but then bottled down the ENITRE video, to a race video…. Please get help and reevaluate things.
@ regardless, my opinion remains👌🏿
Edit: rap was made in America but originated by a Jamaican. So if you want to talk about culture we can go there as well
@ thanks for conceding. Hope you (and the people around you) are lucky enough to get further insight on some of the issues we discussed today.
The clips of young Posty reminds me of a friend who is not aware/beholden to others’ need to think a certain way and always talks like he might be on drugs but is oddly talented
Black people will hate him regardless, unless they can make some money off him.
I just think he’s versatile. He’s done many different genres, and he’s sounded great in all of them.
Post is the most human and cool down to Earth artist out- tfoh with all the hate. "The culture" promotes the maiming of black men. Not much substance there to begin with. Sorry it hurts feelings, truth hurts.
What?
True... glorifying degeneracy and harmful society is now considered "the culture"
Watching this instead of taking notes in Architecture class 😂
Hip-Hoparchitecture
Shame on you
😂 it be like that sometimes bro
Nah focus on architecture brother and make some good money
I think everyone has it the other way around. Post Malone genuinely loved hip hop and loved being a rapper. However, he knew as a white person, he was never going to be accepted into hip hop. That's why he transitioned to other genres since they accept him for his skin color whereas hip hop does not
The modern version of kid rock 😂
Depending on which way you take, almost everyone has a way to the top. Post's way was through hip-hop. Allowing him opportunities to explore other music genres that he truly enjoys.
W video 💯
Thats called being a culture vulture...Kid Rock did it first
@@MicahsIntellectualCornerblack people don’t own hip hop. He’s free to explore different genres is he’s talented enough.
@@Sama7941 But you own "country" right? Why did you deny lil nas x? Hypocrites
@@Sama7941hip hop is Black period
Haven't watched the video yet, but I'm looking forward to this one !
Okay, i get why hip hop don’t respect J Cole months ago, but Post Malone?
Why is this community keeps on being a dick to great and humble artists?
People always trying to put you in a box especially when you're trying to just be an artist and express yourself whatever way you're currently feeling.
“Either leave hip hop or respect the genre” who are you to tell him what to do? 😭😭 he’s a grown ass man he can do whatever he wishes
Jelly Roll could be said to have done the same thing but he always gone back to collaborates with rappers....
He was bound to leave. He got so much hate for no reason.
I think it is weird how some of these people treat Hip-hop as more of a cult. Like pretty much bullying Post into keeping him in hip-hop. The guy always said he had love for country music and he clearly has a thing for rock as well. He isn't going to want to spend his entire career in just hip-hop. I respect him for sticking to his guns and making the music he wants to make. He won't be wondering at the end of his journey "what if"
The are plenty of artists in other genres that freely experiment with their sound and try new things but when it comes to hip-hop the bigger voices are gate keepers that will drag anyone's name for releasing an album that strays from hip-hop.
He will probably explore more sounds in other albums and even release new hip-hop tracks.
Hip-hop is just full of dictators that will blacklist you for wanting to contribute to more than just one sound.
Comment section mad refreshing. 13% make music about race way too much. If that's the case, Darius Rucker needs to start showing more respect to the white country stars of the past and Jimi Hendrix can never be considered one of the greatest guitarists of all time.
Post is my all-time favorite artist along with Juice, and I personally don't care about all the drama. I've always loved Post's music!
Luista posted everyone wake up!
I never knew Joey BadA$$ wrote Rockstar 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️👀 makes since now 😂
Many people are turning away from rap. Its become so viollent and sick even i can hardly stand most of it anymore. Rap will rapidly lose its popularity over the next years. It was inevitable.
Its dark and hell is hot was the end for me
I believe that people may have labeled him as a hip hop artist solely because he rapped, but his musical talent extends beyond that. I think that he tried to cater to the expectations of others rather than remaining true to his self. To me, his albums have always showcased various musical elements. Stoney is one of my favorite albums but I also appreciate the distinct direction he took with Hollywood's Bleeding. 💜
And now that he stopped hip hop, everyone missing his older music. Smh 🤦🏻♂️
Hip hop politics is so fucking cringe
Used the Culture to get on and then dipped, Miley Cyrus did the exact same thing in 2014 and then started saying she didnt like Hip Hop portrayed Women and made a bunch of crap up
@Louaista 1:44 Bro get yourself a pop filter for that mic🗣️ Those Ps, Bs, even Cs and Ks are comin' in hot!
Head he gotta neaten up the audio
Joyce, Picasso and Stravinsky....'True artists' constantly change their styles.
Without social media, none of his words would’ve ever made people react nearly as much. It’s so annoying
Social media and cell phones have ruined the connection of humans so much
Post makes better music then most rappers lol. Post did not use hiphop. He expanded his music unlike most rappers that stay rapping about the same bs
He a culture vulture y'all never want to admit that
@@clevercode30trust me nobody wants your dirty culture 😂
19:59 lmao Adam22 said Posty should get a 4batz or Drake feature to keep his hip hop cred... Adam22 ain't beating the culture vulture allegations 😂😂😂
I think the record needs to be set straight that Hip Hop and Rap are 2 different things. Rap is part of hip hop, but just because you Rap doesn't make you Hip hop.
If that was the case, we should have a "why Hip hop doesn't respect Weird Al Yankovic". Post rapped, but he never struck me as a hip hop artist. Likewise, I don't think just because he had a country twang in his music or moved more into that genre casted him out. Lots of artists incorporated country sound into rap. Most notable example for me is Nelly. First song I think of when I remember him is "Take a ride with me". Hell. Bone Thugz N Harmony had "Ghetto Cowboy" in the 90s.
Hell. I remember a lot of rap in the 2000s had a lot of rock in it. Lil Wayne damn near transitioned into rock and was even playing guitar in a handful of songs at one point. Was Lil Wayne no longer a rapper or hip hop? Jay Z did collabs with rock. Ludacris did collabs with rock. Nearly everyone in that time was doing collabs with rock.
The problem is 2 things. 1) Every keeps trying to make rap and hip hop the same thing; they arent. 2) People convently forgot how diverse the music used to be and are trying to now put it in this little box. For what? And social media has only aggravated the issue
One word....Zeitgeist. The guy is trying many things so that he will be remembered. He's truly talented and has been used as an industry plant at the same time. But is still rich.
He got talent in every genre. A true artist
3:01 comment so goofy lmfao no passion for rap when gen z rappers just talk about the same bs everydong (guns money gangs girls) half dont even rhyme and alot mumble and even say in songs F rap and just do it for fame. Such hypocrisy
Same as kid rock. Rich daddies who paid for studio time and publicity, then switch to country once they make a name
I respect dude but didn’t respect the fact he never repped Texas like like the greats
I have to agree. I'm from dallas, a lot of people wouldn't even know he is from here except for his love for the cowboys 😂
He said from the Jump he ain’t a rapper but an Artist Respect 🫡
Man at this point People saying Post is Culture Culture and doesn't Respect Hip Hop is just pure Jealousy his not a really a rapper his a singer who's passionate about hip hop
Hip hop ran Post out of it. No need to cry now that he’s successful elsewhere. Sounding like a bitter ex
Maybe in 2013. People in hiphop respect Post except charlamagne but who cares lol
