Post Malone - "Motley Crew"

August 30, 2023 / lucythegray / Source

I'm genuinely shocked at the vast nothingness of "Motley Crew." The hollow vacuum of an instrumental and its brief moments of silence serve only to highlight just how bland the hook is, which is repetitive even by Post Malone's standards. The vocal delivery of the chorus is bafflingly nasal and its melody relentlessly hammers on the tonic the entire chorus. Meanwhile, the melody of the first verse just sticks to the supertonic, and the only time in the track where the vocals have any kind of arc, Post struggles to hit any of the high notes.

Even the worst songs off his previous projects had the decency to include some humorously bad bars; "Motley Crew" is just flavorless schlock.

Production: 25/100

Performance: 20/100

Personality: 5/100

Overall: 17/100

tl;dr - I think Posty can make some really fun pop rap, but this isn’t fun: it’s boring from start to finish.
