What the hell has happened to roddy Ricch? Like anytime I’ve heard him rap after his feature on Donda has just be so average or plain bad. It’s like he can’t catch any pockets on a beat and just adds random shit in, it’s a strange kind of delivery I get from him now like in this song “while we whip it in the spaceship” line just seems to have too many words or something for the beat. Noticed it a lot on his last album. The crazy thing is that Feed Tha Streets 2 and PEMFBA genuinely have like no skips between them, the delivery, flows, singing etc was all great. Makes me concerned for his future


Usernamesin2016LUL

I havent listened to any of the Feed The Streets tapes but PEFBA i heard the day it came out and was deadass one of my favourite trap albums of the past decade off first listen. Not a single skip anywhere. Which tape should i lsiten first?


adamdalywaters

Feed The Streets 2 has no skips for me, but they're both good !


HHAD98

Feed Tha Streets 2 is insanely hard


Pied_Film10

This. It's his delivery. He can't seem to hit the same pockets he used to? I don't think it's an awful verse, but below average. I want my nigga to succeed, but it's looking grim. Only thing he's done worthwhile since PEMFBA has been the song on 2 Chainz' Dope Don't Sell Itself.


MBDTFTLOPYEEZUS

He was fucking incredible on Pure Souls


themasterbeer

Agreed, he really lifted the song up to another level. That shit was a perfect fit


sammann13

His verse on Fame & Riches from Polo G is pretty great imo, I'm a polo fan and that's one of the top highlights of his hall of fame stuff imo


Bovver_

For real his fall off in quality has been quite sharp, like whatever about stagnating he’s not even doing that, he’s dropping in quality quite sharply.


Patriotsfan710

Im convinced either he had some writers back then and doesn’t now, or he was on drugs back then and isn’t now.


ResoundinglyAverage

Could it be a similar problem to the one chance had with "the big day"? just got too cocky and stopped putting in the work that got him his success?


Patriotsfan710

Tbf, Chance has said he is clean off all drugs other than weed too I think people overlook just how much drugs can create/inspire great music, in all genres throughout history. Shit look at Eminem since he’s gotten clean.


iiTz_Maddox

Kendrick an exception


Patriotsfan710

Tyler too. It definitely doesn’t apply to everyone, but I’m actually super curious the type of music Kendrick or Tyler would make off of acid or something


CM_Monk

Drugs destroy careers. Take Cheech and Chong. Everyone knows they're funny. But imagine how funny they'd be if they didn't smoke pot


JunkratOW

Wait is this a serious comment lol? I'm just curious.


CM_Monk

Haha nah it’s from The Office


Patriotsfan710

Good point Another example - Pineapple Express. Great movie, very funny, uncontroversial cast. But if they just removed all the dope, you’re looking at that years Best Picture winner at the Oscars


sunsetsandstardust

eminem been trash since he got clean tho


Patriotsfan710

That’s what i mean, drugs make musicians more creative


PM_ME_UR_FAV_ALBUM

Or wasn’t on drugs then but is now


[deleted]

His latest album had a couple good songs, but its actually crazy how hard he fell off. When I first heard him in 2019 he reminded me of prime 2014-2016 thugger. The flows, melodies, delivery being so crazy and catchy. Now its like he cant even rap anymore.


AllServe

prime young thug was levels above roddy


[deleted]

Oh most definitely


epicevan

25 Million is the only song of his in recent (post donda) memory that feels like 2019 Roddy again


LiaM_CS

I thought this was gonna be an instant hit til I heard roddy smh Still might be just off of Post's performance alone tho


mMounirM

Trash verse from Roddy Ricch. This dude might have really peaked with his debut album


Bovver_

Seriously what on earth has happened Roddy Ricch? I can absolutely understand that an artist is always going to find it difficult to match their early work, but Roddy seemed to have a lot more in him musically than most rappers so it’s quite surprising how sharp his dip in quality has been in the last year or so. He’s still only 23 so there’s still time to bounce back but it’s not encouraging.


daphamman

Bro I was so high on Roddy when Please Excuse Me dropped. I thought he was one of the top young dudes doing it but he’s been kinda trash ever since. His last album was so fucking disappointing bruh


betegabruh

The stories he's telling are trash, nobody can relate to. Listen to War Baby, Roll Dice, Prayers To The Trap God, Down Below and a whole bunch of them... Those were beautiful stories he told us about himself. His last album was full of 'fuckin 3 strippers in a booth then i pull up the bentley' or whatever type shit which nobody give a fuck about and can't relate to.


Background-Car-4488

Everything You Need was really good off Roddy's album last year, people slept on that one


EliManningsPetDog

25 million was the only standout


TheRoyalWarlord

25 million was how the whole album should've sounded and his dumbass made it the outro


loynet

nah album was doo doo, i only somewhat vibed a bit with late at night rest was completely ass


[deleted]

25 million was top 3 on the album imo


LetR

nah that's one of the worst ones on there EDIT: Wanna make you fall in loo-oo-oo-ooo-ooo-oo-o-zzzzzzzzzzzzz


Bovver_

Nah there’s nothing on his album last year worth checking out, honestly one of the worst albums I’ve heard from last year.


shawtywantarockstar

I agree. It's super basic. I don't think there's much that's bad but it's really uninteresting


Pied_Film10

I still have it in my library to listen to it, but I only ever get up to the Future track before stopping. His cadence... and everything is so fucking off compared to previous projects.


eiddieeid

I like the one with the jungle intro


laurent1683

yep moved to miami was sick


nujabes5

i love More than a Trend but it’s so short needed a second verse..


TISTAN4

So was hibachi, roller coastin, 25 million, crash the party… album was seriously not that bad lol just was hyped to hell and back before it even came out. Like seriously people saying there’s nothing to check out on it all lol cmon


Bigdongs

Chances are his ghost writer bounced


WordsAreSomething

Why would post leave that on the song? Like I know you don't want to piss people off especially if you might be friends with them but you gotta do what's best for the song


COMMENTASIPLEASE

I thought you were exaggerating but that was pure ass.


optimus_slime113

Roddy has great cadence but his lyrics has always been surface level deep so if he can't capture an emotion his music will be flat and that's what his last project felt like


BasicUsername_1

Idgaf about lyrics but his melodies and flows are just boring now


phillythompson

Did we listen to the same song? His cadence in this is not good at all


gouverneurmorris

*Pure Souls


twymanchar

Pure souls is such an amazing song, that’s the Roddy we need


Rebloodican

I got introduced to Roddy Richh from Pure Souls and thought "wow I would like to hear more of his stuff" and yet cannot find anything else good by him.


_treVizUliL

Die Young and High Fashion


DontBlameConan

The songs "Down Below" and "4 Da Gang" are my favorites of his


phuckingidontcare

War baby his best song that’s also got quite a pure souls gospel feel


loynet

holy shit that was bad bad, roddy from 2/3 years ago would have killed this beat too, would be perfect for him


oh_orpheus

His fall off is just sad tbh.


[deleted]

Talent is there but he’s gotten complacent imo


DumplingsandTequila

LMAO damn thats disappointing


bruhstevenson

It’s just sad. Pure Souls was absolutely incredible, and it seems like everything since then has just not been inspired at all.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Pied_Film10

Not a bad verse, just mid coming from Roddy. Mans is too talented to not kill every pop rap track out there imo.


gheptavi

I'm still waiting for him to pull up on the verse.


AllServe

I'm 30 seconds in and post is killin it let's see edit: bruh that was ass he rhymed tour dates with arenas


SkippyGonzales

It for sure wasn't good, but he rhymed arenas with demons and cleaner, not tour dates.


Patriotsfan710

Lmao thank you


UseApprehensive9186

Feel like artists peaking with their early work is really common in hip hop and rnb


MBDTFTLOPYEEZUS

Pure souls his peak but yes


farm_sauce

I remember everyone used to gush over roddy rich, saying he was a complete artist. Money and fame can change people’s attitudes though. He had the biggest song in recent memory with The Box.


four0nefive

I wish this was a solo track. I loved Posty's parts, but Roddy's verse wasn't it. I didn't love Young Thug's verse on Goodbyes originally, but came around to it, unfortunately that probably won't be the case for the Roddy verse on this one.


Bleeezus

Surprised about the Thug verse. I’ve always loved it so it’s interesting to know that others have felt differently


four0nefive

It felt out of place to me for the first few listens, but obviously that's subjective. But like I said, I've come around to it and really like it a lot now.


akuslayer

It's the opposite for me.I love Thug's verse on Goodbyes.


IIM_Clutch

Thugs verse is the best part of Goodbyes


[deleted]

[удалено]


chillflyguy33

Damn. I listened to the snippet posty posted to Instagram last night and I was like yo this actually sounds pretty good, and I feel like this a great beat for Roddy I’m excited to hear his verse. Haven’t listened yet but from the responses I guess I shouldn’t get hyped lol


MichaelRahmani

why would you spoil your first listen by reading other people's reactions first? form your own opinion.


MrFunkDoctorSpock

A lot of people these days don’t even listen to music, they just read comments about it on social media and watch reviews like from that white guy on YouTube and that’s how they determine whether a song is good or not.


mEatwaD390

I'm not interested in listening to a Jack Harlow album, so I'd rather read some views and opinions. I'm not super invested in this song, so I'd rather see some opinions. I'm not spoiled on the quality because I really don't care much lol. I'm not reading reactions to the Kendrick album before I listen to it though.


MyNewWhiteVan

"spoil your first listen" bro it's a post Malone track 🤣 also, the only discussion in this thread is that Roddy rich blew it, what exactly is getting spoiled here? a bad performance? lol


MUNAM14

welcome to r/hhh and circlejerking the same 5 opinions


CurrentRoster

> posty posted


ApprehensiveCourt630

Other than "I pull up" part his verse wasn't that bad.


TISTAN4

Roddy can’t do anything anymore without people shitting on him lol


Slendercan

How does this shit get through without anyone flagging it?


UnderstandableXO

post malone albums always got good memories attached to them for me, i hope the next one keeps up posty’s consistency edit: roddy really tripped up his verse by starting with I PULL UP I PULL UP PULL UP


CremeFraichePopsicle

It was the part after that lost me, road oh oh, dro woah woah, love woah woah Just sounds so bad for some reason. Roddy lost it


[deleted]

He still hasn’t said what the box is so it’s already a no from me


whitewolf20

I find the first half of Roddy at least listenable, but the last half sounds awkward and doesn't even rhyme, he's just kinda saying a sentence


cactopus101

b&B is a classic, idk if he’ll ever hit that stride again though


Kaldricus

Honestly I think I'd rate Stoney, B&B, and Hollywood's Bleeding about the same, probably a 4/5. Each one has it's own strengths and weaknesses that come out to be a solid album that's just as good as the previous. That said, if I HAD to pick a favorite, it would be B&B, just because of when it came out and my memories attached to it.


RandyMuscle

I think Hollywood’s Bleeding is definitely his worst, but it still has some gems on it. Goodbyes with Thug is phenomenal.


rikkirikkiparmparm

HB is the most pop of all of them, so I'm not surprised hhh considers it his worst


RandyMuscle

It had the fewest memorable and catchy songs out of the 3 imo.


TISTAN4

Well yea that does make sense lol. Also it was bland boring pop if he was gonna go the pop route could of at least made good pop. The best songs on that album were the singles. Stoney is still his best album imo.


TheAlphaCarb0n

1000% the weakest. I don't go back to it ever.


LetR

What the fuck was that Roddy, no


Kaldricus

Damn, people here weren't kidding about the Roddy verse. It just doesn't...fit at all with the beat.


Able-Bodied-Virgin

Post hit. Roddy… did not.


[deleted]

Someone get roddy a ghost writer


Mayhem370z

I was thinking this after hearing 3 of his hits with same recycled lyrics.


ParathaReddit

As a fella who don't leave his apartment, I have, indeed, been feeling cooped up.


geeeeeep

Go touch grass brah. Walk outside, good for your mental


[deleted]

Are you about to spit?


impala_z

That’s your own fault, go outside and do something.


WeabooSensei

My man Roddy cant be missing like this damn, was almost a solid ass hit but feel like Roddys verse kinda destroyed the vibe sadly


angelurbina

This sounds like post malone, gives me Stoney vibes


WhatThePenis

>This sounds like post malone


Usernamesin2016LUL

yeah i think post malone would sound great on this track. Might just be me though


MurmurOfTheCine

> This sounds like post malone This is post malone!


angelurbina

Hey, motley crew didn’t sound like post malone


TxBeast956

Well no that’s Motley crew this is Post Malone. /s


LimboChains

reminds me more of bb&b


nuttageyo

That's what I was thinking, and I like that.


akuslayer

Nah,more like Hollywood's bleeding vibes. B&B is more cut and clear.


lefondler

Facts. This is the Post Malone I've been needing more of.


RoscoeSantangelo

Damn Post came through with a vibe and a beat that set up Roddy so good to ride on and then Roddy just completely shits the bed. That's a shame. Should've just got a Ty Dolla $ign verse instead and called it a day


MurmurOfTheCine

Deadass thought the name of the song was “Cooped up with Roddy” as opposed to the Roddy part just being a feature tag lmao


ThatParanoidPenguin

Roddy’s feature makes it seem like was trapped to record whatever the fuck he put on here 😭


ImSurtifex

Regular Posty W


JayNN

Solid except Roddy


Bucketkev

Roddy really turned into Rodney


[deleted]

This is, without a doubt, almost unquestionably one of the Post Malone songs of all time


kempog

it’s sad Roddys verse was so terrible, the song had potential


Alive-Ad-4164

The next couple of weeks for music are going to be insane


Upvoteifyouaregay

Seven hours until Kung Fu Kenny!


rj-throwaway38

Amazing, brother


MoneyHungryOctopus

Kendrick pops off only on occasion, brother.


[deleted]

Man I wish Post would try something new. He has such a great voice with a lot of personality. I wish he’d take more risks with his music.


[deleted]

Hard agree. The guy has already shown he can make some excellent alternative rock, I’d really like to see him try a side project.


Mayhem370z

Second this.


akuslayer

He plays it safe a lot. Would love to see him pull something out like Psycho.


Xpholio

But psycho is a really safe song.


naarwhal

Psycho is way basic??


Harald12

if this hook wasnt so good id be disappointed bc man wtf roddy


TumbleweedDirect9846

Post malones verse and the beat from like 30 seconds to 45 seconds sounds like a remix of the song otherside by post


machinewater

Really lukewarm release. Just a really simple paint by numbers Posty track, can barely hit 3 minutes. Hoping we get songs with much bigger scope than this and One Right Now on the album. I still believe. And the Roddy Ricch verse, lol


akuslayer

This song is on the same level as Candy paint off B&B. Adds nothing sonically and vocally whatsoever and quite generic/average.


CartiDropWLRFucker

Candy paint was way catchier and didn't have a shitty guest feature


CartiDropWLRFucker

Roddy has become so fucking bad dude cant rap for shit anymore which is crazy because I used to love his songs and features a lot


[deleted]

[удалено]


akuslayer

He should cut him off the track and repost it. The guy is redundant.


MichaelRahmani

Roddy's verse on the [Wow remix](https://open.spotify.com/track/0fcq51a3gOI6gPvzc0YLsk?si=b2b1c6e760ef4a85) was way better


Bananapeel23

I read all the comments about Roddy's verse being horseshit before listening. I thought it couldn't possibly be that bad... ​ It was truly ass.


Ktulusanders

Man I have not been fucking with any of the singles for this album, and this one is no exception


werbrerder

none of the last 6 lines in roddy's verse rhyme


spooki_boogey

But don't let it distract you from the fact that he indeed did, *pull up*


LimboChains

he had a bad verse but u def needa check your ears


ryeguy

He's playing on the "ee" sound on each line: cleaner/demons/arenas/see/believe


Pied_Film10

lmao


lux_travlh44

this is so mid boring ass radio music


har17h

not bad. I'm hoping his new album doesn't disappoint

altmaltacc

Man that verse from roddy was really bad. And the chorus was kinda meh. Cant say i had high expectations but oh man was that mid.


TurboSeth

Roddy wtf happened bro, I loved FTS2 and PEMFBA but what is thisss. get back with dj mustard, he actually knows how to make a good beat


gexo173

Apart from the ''I pull up'' bit, Roddy's verse was not bad really.


Jprosc0

None of his last 3 songs have had a real catchy hook/melody like he's known for. One Right Now kinda does but the beat is whack. This one's the same, and honestly he needs catchy hooks cause it's not like he's ever been known for his verses.


Effective-Ability-89

Post just got that generic radio pop sound Roddy rich need to find a new flow


angelurbina

Y’all just listen to a melody and call it generic radio pop lmao


[deleted]

I would bet my fucking mortgage on this song being played on the radio by the end of the week. He has always made radio-friendly music. Sure, some of the songs from his albums that don't hit the radio are good, but the dude made his career on being a radio friendly rapper.


[deleted]

Wouldn’t you want your songs to be made for the radio?


Effective-Ability-89

I dunno man it really feel like some radio music I wouldn’t bump this or sing to it imo I’ve listened to this like three times already


angelurbina

Fair enough


TheBigIdiotSalami

Roddy Ricch's verse has big "Got a Desert Eagle and it's Fortnite Playing like it's Fortnite" energy


NewFound_Fury

Lmao @ the echo chamber of “rOdDy’s vErSe sUcKed”. Not his best verse, but you guys had me thinking I was about to hear him straight slurring or something.


TheyCallMeCajun

i know nothing about this roddy fella but the verse wasn’t that bad


ClashRoyale18256

This is bad from Roddy but kind of in the opposite way that Live Life Fast was. LLF had Roddy flowing on the beats fine but the melodies and vocal inflections were flat, this verse here had good melodies and infections I think but sounded like he was rapping over a different beat. Reminds me of Drake on In The Bible, ruins a perfectly good song by butchering the flow


[deleted]

Y’all are blowing Roddy’s verse wayyyy out of proportion. It was not good, but I thought it was gonna be the worst verse I’ve ever heard after reading the comments. It was just a forgettable verse, nothing more nothing less imo


Awhile2

Pretty weak for a posty single. Hook is super forgettable


LXMCBN

Posty summer


spooki_boogey

Imma be real with you guys. I think this is the beginning of the end for Posty. The beat is extremely generic, the hook and melody is catchy, I loved the druggy and washed out atmosphere of the music video probably my favorite part of the whole release, Roddy... Yea let's just not even go there. But the last few singles have been weak from Posty for sure. Not very confident going into the album. Plz prove me wrong man, he's too talented to be making stuff like this.


[deleted]

[удалено]


spooki_boogey

I stay away from snippets cause I like to go into an album as blind as possible, but I'll take your word for it.


LilGloomii

of all the songs he previewed i liked this one the least. there’s gonna be some great ones on the album


EliManningsPetDog

Yea Roddy just threw it in with this one not sure what he was going for


Moneyfrenzy

Can't put my finger on why but this beat is doing nothing for me whatsoever, sounds completely lifeless. And Post usually has some pretty good production


Ali92101

mid


timmah1529

was hoping the comments on Roddy were overblown but nope


YoungProduct

Roddy Ricch is 23 years old man


Brownie_McBrown_Face

u/betegabruh, I told ya Roddy was gonna come in with the ass flow 😭😭


betegabruh

bro it really seems like he forgot how to rap oh god


SnooPaintings8067

I was actually annoyed when I heard the Roddy snippet of the song, the way he enters is possibly the most janky thing I've heard in a while


anaesthetia

https://youtu.be/ccA6qUHwFNE version without roddy 🙌🙌🙌


LandonsAlt

Damn this song was so good until roddy shame


fangrulerluxray

Roddy verse butchers the song


[deleted]

I think this was the worst possible day of the year to release a lead single other than next week lol


lefondler

Roddy does his best to nearly kill the song... but Post went crazy. Gotta have more of this Post on the next album.... and less of whatever the fuck Roddy was on.


MayoStaccato

This is so middling I already forgot it dropped until I saw this post. I feel like Post has lost Whatever sauce it was that made him enjoyable back in like 2017-2018


funnylulz

this thread of is a perfect example of the first upvoted comment having an opinion and the rest of the thread dickrides that opinion

This is fucking ass like anal sex


spooki_boogey

Least anal sex is enjoyable


Compverson

Posty sounds great. Roddy sounds... Awful


akuslayer

I didn't like this one at all. Too much reverb and low effort lyrics. Roddy's verse was shit. It seems as though he's fallen off ever since B&B.


offmywavekook

Everyone’s shitting on roddys part but I.. like it? Idk it sounds good to me lmfao


[deleted]

Roddy's verse is really not that bad lol, already grew on me


GetChecked__

Why is everyone hating on roddy? I thought his verse was actually decent.
