[Music]
what's going on y'all this post Malone
and you're watching noisy raps turn up
it's a Habibi I used to be so cool and
not looking back and he should be way
cooler than I am
this is me in my 83 Crown Victoria in
high school
Samia the large lobster mean a monkey
my name is Austin Post I was looking for
a name cuz I already had all these songs
done and I was looking for a name and I
couldn't think of anything so I put my
name in a rap name generator' and I said
post Malone and that's where it is it's
just stuck that and I'm sitting down I'm
14 thinking like what's dope my
dad wanted me to go to school really bad
and I just wasn't digging in so I went
to TCC Tarrant County Community College
for like two months and I was secretly
failing so I was just like this is
not good I'm not good at school I'm
failing my teachers suck ass this sucks
ass and then Jason says hey I'm moving
out to LA
[Music]
YouTube is an incredible platform for
people to get their content out so he
put out a lot of content and it was
popping so he says hey I'm moving to LA
with a bunch of my gamer boys and I said
hey can I come like I don't I don't have
any money I don't have nothing can I
just come and I promise I'll pay you
back and then he says yeah and then so I
told my parents like two weeks before I
was leaving then I'm not going to school
no more and I'm moving to LA I'm
sleeping in my friend's closet for a
little bit and I always would look
through couches and open up Jason's car
and look inside see if there's any
quarters it's just so I could go buy a
pack of cigarettes but you know whenever
I could get cigarettes it was sick but I
say how am I gonna get money for
cigarettes or B or something you know
that's important I was really
heavily into gaming and staying at home
I didn't really go out a lot but then I
really got into music you know did uh my
dad and did a guitar hero and I went
over to my friend Preston's house he was
like yo check out this game it was
Guitar Hero 2 it's like dude this is
sick
this is dope I started playing and I got
good and I used to make videos of me
shredding I put the camera right
here on my little flip phone and just
shredded the buttons and I thought I was
the so I said let me pick up a real
gets on
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
this is my collection you know I'm
working on it I need the bigger orange
amp nice Rickenbacker Louise beef telly
I got a bad ass and Gibson Custom
Shop cream SG triple pickup gold
hardware it's like what God would play
if he played guitar Vox ac30 line six
this just for around cuz I don't
have any pedals yeah I need to go get
some I lost all mine
he said Bruno Mars wanted it but I beat
him to it sorry Britta love you did this
is just my modest four times platinum
plaque
[Music]
so why Thomason was actually pretty
early on but nobody wanted me to put out
white Ireson they just said wait wait
like wait and I said I have time
to wait I don't have any money and I'll
have anything like what am I gonna lose
you know and then I made the album art
the original album art with the three
and Iverson was in the background and I
put it out the next day and then it just
went bananas
[Music]
I put the song out butterflies in my
stomach
went to bed woke up Wiz Khalifa Mac
Miller crazy plays everything like that
I said that I was freaking out
like I was going crazy i sat there next
to the computer and refreshed and
refreshed just to see all the
views and chin Google my name and
and see what's happening and it was
literally like the cheesy like montage
movie come up scene I got lucky it's
fine you man and I love SoundCloud I
think it's such a dope medium for new
artists who maybe don't have the
experience or any management or any team
just so you know put something up and
see what happens I knew it's gonna be
big I didn't know this big I said y'all
I'm having a meeting with record labels
today mom and dad you know cuz the
Republic gave me a lot of money
yeah it is it's triple platinum now so I
need a bigger more ignorant flat
stony platinum plaque congratulations
three times platinum everything is great
I'm a plaque collector now and I can't
wait to get some more and so they gave
me this they gave me this fridge and
they come and stock it up cuz Bud Lights
the
load me up and like this is Alec he's
the beer bong guy that keep around makes
$1000 a day
stupid beer bongs some of these cars
this is my 92 Ford Explorer it's badass
a little weapon I wanted to make the
swag mobile that's how everybody comes
in my house and they see this car and
they know that I live here and they come
bother me
boom got him this is you know this is my
everyday car well I want a Ferrari next
she's a little dirty but this is my 66
Lincoln Continental my dad always loved
Lincoln he had the Continental growing
up so I said basically my whole life is
a competition with my dad to see who's
cooler he's still waiting but I'm almost
there
I always just funky I always love like
penny loafers and and rip pants and
in high school I had my pants
all the way down here and I'd
get in trouble all the time and you know
I won I went best dressed in high school
and most likely to be famous in high
school kids at school made fun of me but
I'm all good because now I'm in
GQ and
[Music]
at one point I was just like Puckett I'm
just gonna rock what I like and if
people don't like it down so tell
me why girl come on it's a cow
skull with two Eagles but I was too
to finish the sides cuz it hurt
like a
top ten finesse rappers in the world
according to BuzzFeed BuzzFeed you'll
never believe who's number one
I need to play who's to say that I can't
make a hip-hop project and and make a
guitar song at the same time who's to
say that everybody's so closed-minded
amongst all the successors always gonna
be you know it's definitely
different coming into the game as you
know a white guy then everybody's like
who the is this dude
Charlamagne picked on me and and
you know it's whatever he don't like me
if you don't like it don't
listen to it I don't appreciate hip-hop
that I'm really just I just appropriated
the culture to get on and then I'm gonna
do something else it's nothing like that
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
I want to make great music I want to
prove people wrong I want to turn up I
want to show everybody what I'm about
[Music]
I can't be one point
[Music]
people think I'm just taking advantage
of everything but I love this
like this is the that I love this
is what I want to do I love the music I
love making music I love the people that
I'm around I love my friends and my
family and other people that really
stood by me whenever I took the leap to
do what I wanted to do and you know no
one can really say
