In 2017, Austin Richard Post became one of the hottest artists in the world. We had already been exposed to "White Iverson" but even Post himself had labeled himself a one-hit-wonder. Now you hear him constantly with "Congratulations", a number one hit in "Rockstar" along with 21 Savage(21, 21), and my personal favorite of his, "I Fall Apart."

Notably with the latter song, this started booming after a viral video of him singing into a microphone on stage

But honestly what is it about someone who thinks "White Iverson" is his only good song and thinks that rap has no substantive lyrics that has the entire world going crazy?

I'll go ahead and throw my cards on the table, besides "I Fall Apart" and the 21 Savage verse on "Rockstar", I don't really vibe that much with Post's music.

However, with that being said, we are at an age where blending genres is at all time high especially in rap. This works out perfectly for someone who always wanted to make country music, and who actually has a pretty damn good voice

There are countless examples of his covers and after watching them, I've started to come around on him just from a musical standpoint. He's just a very versatile musician. Is he a culture vulture? Absolutely, but he's just capitalized on it a lot more than the likes of like Miley Cyrus, Iggy Azalea, Riff Raff etc. Hell you could even throw Drake into the culture vulture realm. But people still buying it and that's what matters.

In today's world you have to be versatile and that's something that Post Malone brings to the table that no one else is right now and that's just something you have to respect from a musical standpoint. Also to the person who hurt Postie to make him write "Fall Apart"...

you hurt me too, dammit.
