Who is Post Malone? Austin Post aka Post Malone is a 20 year old rapper, singer, producer and songwriter residing from Dallas,Texas. Born in Syracuse,New York he moved to Dallas at a young age. He taught himself how to play guitar and even joined a heavy metal band in high school, funny enough in a interview he said he learned playing guitar from the popular video, Guitar Hero. After leaving college he moved Los Angeles with long time friend Jason Stokes. In his time in LA he met producers "1st" and "FKi" where they help him produced his breakout through smash hit "White Iverson". He thought the name of the track when he got first got braids and felt like basketball player Allen Iverson. in February he debuted the track on SoundCloud and got attention from many recorded labels and got over a million streams within a month. He did sign with Republic Records. Now personally to be honest, I'm not a really a fan of his. Post has had a fair share of critics, From artist to Earl Sweatshirt to Breakfast Club host Charlemange the God and even was in some controversy when a old vine was leaked out of him saying "Nigga" he did later apologized. Even though with critics he does have a lot fans, which doesn't come to me as a much of surprise, Most of my friends and even family really love his music. Now to be honest i make jokes about the guy, but he is trash? not really, i heard worse out there. I don't think hes not that bad of a singer and he does have some decent tracks out there, i really like "#mood" and "Too Young" and his features on Kanye's track on "Fade" and 50 Cent featured on 50 recent mixtape were pretty decent. I think i gave Post enough of a bio so here are my thoughts on August 26th.
Now i'm not really gonna breakdown this whole project like my last review because i don't really have much to say about this. Now is this project trash? No. Is this project Great? No. Decent? Kind of. So this project made me turn a new leaf and made me jump on the bandwagon and became a fan of his? Eh, sort of i guess. They're a few highlights on here. My favorite track is "Monte" featuring Lil Yatchy aka Lil Boat. Lil Boat had the best guest verse on the entire project and made the track his own but Post his did his thing. This would be a perfect track to bump in the car or at a party. I guess one thing that helps me get through do this entire thing was the production. FKi and many others did their thing even Post comes through with some bangers of his own. "Never Understand" featuring Larry June produced FKi and Post himself is another favorite of mine and its a good start to the project. "Money Made Me Do It" Featuring 2 Chainz is a soild banger and would be perfect for parties and bumping in the whip. 2 Chainz did come through with a fun verse. "God Damn" feat. "1st" is another one i enjoyed, good feature from "1st". They are some meh or ok tracks on here like "Fuck" featuring Jeremih and "40 Funk". The last three tracks on here are my least favorites on here. Well the second half of "Hollywood Dreams/Comedown" was pretty dope just didn't like the first half, it sounded like really cheesy 80's pop. "Lonley..." featuring the meme himself Jaden Smith and Teo, to be honest the track is pretty slow and a snooze. Jaden was kinda of highlight on here and the production was cool. It would be one of those tracks on here i would probably get high to. "Oh God" is my least favorite of the all, so much cringe. It sounded like a country song, Like really bad country. So yeah not a good ending to the project.
So overall in my opinion this project is very decent at best. They are a few highlights on here i must say. Now has this mixtape made me a huge of his? not really but i'm curious about what hes gonna do next, ill most likely check out his debut album. So my opinion of Post Malone has changed quite a bit, just a little bit. If you're a post fan you will definitely enjoy this but if never fucked with him you may hate this. This project would be perfect for bumping in the whip with aux cords privileges or parties.
So thank you (Kind of) Mr. Austin Post for making me a turn a new leaf (Kind Of) on this project. #WhiteGirlTurnUpMusic
