Been less than a year and I’ll say it again, Post Malone is so good! Seriously such a smart guy, really. If you listen to his interviews, it’s apparent.
...i might throw it in the fire. that's just me though. i don't speak about not liking things unless i have properly experienced them. i have listened to his music and still very much don't like it
why does someone's choice in music speak anything about their intelligence? what should we be listening to then? I love most genres and enjoy different types of music and I think it's rediculous that as adults a person can't even say they like music without being hassled about it. this is ridiculous.
anyway, we should be listening to what brings us joy. me personally i'm a lyrics person, and a beat person. if its really catchy, i'll listen to it. if the lyrics yank at my heart i'll listen to it. right now malone's recent album is giving me feels and i love it, that's a good thing! music is entertainment!
OK, I will not stand by and watch someone degrade another person for their musical choices. We all like what we like and are entitled to dislike other things. Just because YOU don't like something, doesn't make it any less valid for someone else.
Personally, as I said, I don't like autotuned vocals, but the OP has every right to listen to them and enjoy the music and I will fight for their right to do so.
I don't like Post Malone, OP does and i'm happy that they do, because different music gives people joy and happiness. I like stuff that others don't like, but I don't cry anout it Rat570, I just get on with my stuff and let them get on with theirs.
witch8960: omg yaaas! To all of this. And the beats and lyrics are quite good and clever, especially compared to a ton of modern music. Many artists don’t put much into the writing. Posty does.
olive9842: also FYI to everyone not just you but auto-tune has been around since the 80’s and literally everyone uses it, it’s just like photoshop tho- some people use more than others and some go as far as to distort their voices as a style thing, like a guitar pedal.
sesame7753: I did comment about his intelligence. You seemingly do not get it, which is fine. But the dude is smart, and even more so, very emotionally smart. Imagine getting this much hate and functioning under it? Pretty incredible.
Oh, I know all about auto tune. The Spice Girls used it, and I know this because a band I know what recording in the studio nest to them at Toolroom Studios. It’s a personal preference for me, I just don’t like it but if you do then fair play and we’ll agree to disagree and that’s it. As for intelligence in the music industry
we need more artists with the intelligence to know what they’re doing and to beat the exploitation of the record labels, the publishers etc. The music business is very cutthroat, so the more artists who have control over their product, the better, no matter who they are, what their genre is and how much technology they rely on.
olive9842: I would say I'm neutral on AutoTune. It's a case by case basis. Honestly, it's hard to know who uses it or not these days - some are so subtle. But I look at the voice as an instrument, so distortion is a ok to me. But yeah! You do you, it totally is a personal preference and I respect that!
olive9842: Yeah, more artists with intelligence and the will to create a pure expression of themselves. It takes a lot to keep a vision of your expression when so many people offer up welcome and unsolicited advice. I really respect people who can do that. It must take a ton of mental energy, resolve, emotional intelligence, grit.
When you hear filters on vocals, it’s generally a stylistic choice, not someone trying to fool you. Look at T Pain. His whole IMAGE is that vocoder sound, but it turns out he’s a crazy good singer without. Check out his Tiny Desk set. See also: Bon Iver and Imogen Heap
Yeah, it must be lonely up on that superior pedestal you’ve put yourself upon, especially as us mere mortals can not comprehend classical compositions etc. You have no idea who I am, or the breadth of my musical spectrum, so please don’t make assumptions that only serve to make you look like a fool.
donut1653: I’m not lonely at all. I don’t need a thousand plurk friends to validate myself. I have this thing called a real life that pretty much most of you folks avoid like the plague.
See Posty isn’t for everyone but he owns himself and his weirdness and empowers other people to do so.
Also he’s not a rapper, he says he’s an artist.
