Writing a hit song ain't hard, I know many songwriters who have not one, but many great songs which will never be heard. The hard part for most artists is distributing it and making money out of it. Marketing is the genius of most successful musicians, not product.

As a songwriter, i absolutely agree with Post that a really good song comes from a organic process. Whenever i try to make a song with the mindset of getting something good from it, it never flows.

I'm a writer and Post's process is amazingly similar to my own. He talks about how it just comes "naturally" and without force. I don't even think I do anything more than go into a fugue state and type. Next thing I know, the story or essay is done.

Wow! This dude is something! He's right! A hit song or award winning performance ..it must come from your passion, your expression! you can't really control the process. Madonna once said " It's all about the work, the project. Success is a byproduct of the work." Anyone can do an impression of a singer or actor. To do something Original, Something that Hasn't been done a hundred times....Whoa! Malone is original and different from the rest! His brutal honesty, a sense of organic and familiar... His " I've effed up, but I'm still trying to be happy!" Is what he brings to his music. His song Chemical...... it's probably too honest for some. too candid, explicit That's what makes it cool! He's Not afraid to admit he effed up! So many performers act as though they execute everything perfectly! Malone isn't like that! He's Honest and he appreciates his fans!

@noyb4441 6 месяцев назад

Honestly, out of all the songs I've ever recorded. The song that flowed to me the most natural way, is my MOST liked/streamed song out my whole catalog. It showed me that, when you're trying "too hard" with the lyrical miracle, bragadocious stuff, it comes off less authentic. BE AUTHENTIC. LET IF FLOW. It doesn't always have to be about crazy rhymes. SN: I wrote this song passed midnight. Literally looking up at the stars at night. Today, it's my most streamed song. And to think, i debated on even dropping it. Im glad I DID.

Marketing is everything.

Granted I’ve put my heart and soul into them but it’s the combination of both that has made made more than half a million views in about 6 weeks.

Post Malone writes songs based on what he just listened to - there's a ton of STP, Alice in Chains and Soundgarden riffs (and even melodies) in many of his songs and I cannot believe he hasn't been sued into bankruptcy yet for ripping everyone off.

@s_cuzz 8 месяцев назад

he is right. Sometimes you hop on a beat and u destroy all of them. When you learn form it, next time you will be able to make 60% of that moment even when u dont feel like creating. But most bangers arfe like " fuck, this is nice melody, let me freestyle it"
