jan 29, 2016 - "BBC 1xtra: Post Malone Covers Kanye West's 'Heartless'"

Description:

Gene Simmons, in his Rollingstone interview, complained that “there’s no melody” in hip-hop. He insists that rappers are “just talking on a track.” Later in the article, Simmons complains that musicians should play instruments. I included this article within my intertext concept tree, because although Post Malone is undoubtedly a rapper, he does not subscribe to any of these stereotypes. Post Malone, a current up and coming artist, began releasing music in 2015. His music frequently includes raps alongside somber songs that feel more like alternative rock music than rap music. Post Malone covers Kanye West, a rap artist who does not perform with instruments, in this video, as he plays his guitar and sings. Rap music contains multitudes.
