Post Malone was on Howard Stern’s show the other day, and the Shock Jock wanted to know if shit just comes to him when it comes to creating new tunes.
Post told him, “No, shit literally comes to me because I write all my songs on the can.” Actually, he gave more accurate numbers than that, “I’d say about 30% of all of my albums have been written on the shitter. And I’d say 60% of lyrics have been written on the shitter.”
The fact that the singer has written that much music there must mean he spends a lot of time on the porcelain throne. And he does. He is on there for an hour and a half to two hours. My butt went numb just thinking about that.
Talking about thinking. Malone has a special notepad to write the musical notes and words that comes to him as stuff comes out of his butt.
So, the next time you hear one of Post’s songs and think it sounds like shit, it is not an insult. It is what he was doing when he came up with that tune.
