An Editorial on "Hollywood's Bleeding"

Post Malone, you’ve heard of him right? Rockstar/ rap artist, he has released three studio albums, one mixtape and 21 singles and four of them were features. Malone is a 24-year old American rapper who just recently dropped his third studio album, titled “Hollywood’s Bleeding” which is once again at the top of the Billboard Top 100 chart streaming right now. After streaming and listening to some of his songs for the first time, I realized Post Malone was a very versatile artist. His melancholy in his pitch and his ability to adapt to the music industry and make music for everyone makes him a great artist. 

Austin Richard Post is an American rapper, singer, songwriter and record producer. His father introduced him to all different music genres such as hip-hop, country & rock when he was a kid. Post was born on July 4, 1995 in Syracuse, NY. Post Malone has been out for several years now, he was first recognized in 2015 when he dropped his single “White Iverson.” which peaked at the top 20 on the US Billboard Top 100.

Malone’s music has grown and changed so much, he has this passionate style of always changing his flows, Post Malone can do anything, from writing his own songs to producing them. 

In Post Malone’s album, “Hollywood’s Bleeding” gives off very sad boy vibes. He brings out his odd standing as a singer-songwriter whose principle building blocks come from trap music but whose tastes suggests that his final destination lies somewhere farther afield. Post uses strong metaphors and irony to subject sad views and different perspectives of the world.

Malone is a fantastic individual that does not get enough credit for everything he has accomplished in his career. He is outcasted because of appearances and because he does not rap/sing like every other artist but according to “Vulture” he continues to rise to the Top Billboard 100. 

Some of the most popular tracks on the album are “Hollywood’s Bleeding” and “On the Road“ featuring Meek Mill and Lil Baby. These two songs are very popular due to the fact Post Malone makes his listener feel sad in a happy way. Each and every song will go from very slow tempo to a beat drop, which makes the song 10x more enjoyable.

“Hollywood's Bleeding” is a song that uses Hollywood as its main subject, and basically Malone tells this story about how things have been changing and getting worse, but at the end of the day everything will be okay. The song is tough, everyone should take a listen.

“On The Road” is also a very unique song because each artist has their own interpretation of life in this song. Lil Baby, Meek Mill and Post Malone each went into a versatile melody, describing pin and the effect of life: on a sick beat.

Everyone who loves to listen to music, or is, in general, in love with Post Malone should really listen to these two track on the album because they will make your world rock. This album is more special and thoughtful compared to the songs that have been coming out nowadays. You can barely even understand what half popular artists are saying. But Post Malone definitely took his time in this album, it shows how hard he has worked to be where he is at now, and what he is soon destined to be.

Post Malone’s “Hollywood’s Bleeding” is a 9/10. This album has shown growth with Post Malone and it also shows he deserves everything that is coming his way. If you are a young teen who loves to listen to music that does not make you feel like complete crap, you should definitely check this album out .
