I wonder why Post Malone purposely took this off YouTube.
he was younger and fooling around, nothing wrong with that. He should know that people will bring this up. He should embrace it and turn it into something positive, maybe even redo the song to show how he has evolved/grown
If a black nigga from the suburbs gets a grill and rocks jersey's should that be approiation as well?
"Generally, an assumption that the culture being borrowed from is also being oppressed by the culture doing the borrowing is prerequisite to the concept."
So no

Cultural appropriation is a sociological concept which views the adoption or use of elements of one culture by members of a different culture as a largely negative phenomenon
nothing negative about this feller here until proven otherwise sorry
Roddy do you not get how you misinterpreted this quote

You're right on paper but everything isnt black and white (no pun) He's doing the culture the right way so just because he's white he can't do it?
My point is the gold grilles and cornrows weren't from his culture from where he grew up, if he grew up in a black area (street) where the grilles and cornrows were part of the culture, it wouldn't have come off as a gimmick like he does in his interviews.
No one looks at Paul Wall as an appropriator bcuz he grew up in Houston, TX where gold grilles were part of the culture

Ok regardless of where bra was at , he also identified with the culture. Enough to say imma get braids and a grill cus it looks dope. Then AFTERWARDS got in the studio and recorded a track that happened to blow up overnight.
what is the issue? Bra genuinely believes he looked like the white AI soo ok cool song. You cant be mad that he's white and the AUDIO became a hit
Re: Post Malone BRKFST ClUB INTERVIEW {CHarlegmane hating}
I'm not even really offended by that (ok I am a little), I'm just shocked at how corny and goofy this dude comes off, and he's singing about swaging and saucing
If the dude was from the suburbs but was cool as fuck and seemed like he got bitches without making music, then maybe the music would sound believable.
But he comes across as a joke to me, because the music doesn't match his persona
