What These Post Malone Songs Really Mean

Post Malone's music tends to cover a broad range of issues. And while this upbeat rapper might seem like a force of free-wheeling positivity, his lyrics can also deal with some pretty tough stuff. Here are the real meanings behind some of Post Malone's most popular songs. It's safe to say that Post Malone didn't know Steven "A$AP Yams" Rodriguez very well, if he did at all. The rapper wasn't exactly a celebrity at the time of Yams' passing, so there's a good chance they have never even crossed paths. A$AP Rocky's longtime collaborator passed away from an accidental overdose in January 2015, but Post only rose to fame a month later when he released his debut single "White Iverson." Nonetheless, the Stoney rapper was so deeply impacted by the late A$AP Mob founder's contribution to the genre that he penned the song "Too Young" about his death. In a side-bar Genius annotation, Post spoke about how "Too Young" served as an ode to the late hip-hop tastemaker. He wrote: "We weren't friends, but I think it was so cool how he was a cultural icon, and he inspired so many people to do what they wanted to do. I think it was a tragedy that he went so soon. I just thought it was the right thing, to pay tribute to him."
