rockstar (feat. 21 Savage)

Post Malone's 'rockstar (feat. 21 Savage)' is a track that delves into the extravagant and often hedonistic lifestyle associated with rock stars. The song, featuring a collaboration with rapper 21 Savage, became a massive hit, resonating with listeners through its catchy hook and portrayal of a carefree, indulgent existence. The lyrics paint a picture of a life filled with excess, fame, and the trappings of success, which are both glorified and critiqued.

The chorus, 'I've been fucking hoes and popping pillies, Man, I feel just like a rockstar,' encapsulates the central theme of the song. Post Malone equates his lifestyle with that of a rock star, known for their notorious behavior and wild antics. The reference to 'popping pillies' suggests a casual attitude towards drug use, a common trope in rock and roll culture. The song also touches on themes of brotherhood and loyalty, with mentions of his 'brothers' who are always by his side, engaging in similar behaviors. The use of 'Rasta' in the lyrics is likely a nod to the carefree and communal smoking habits associated with Rastafarian culture, further emphasizing the song's celebration of a party lifestyle.

21 Savage's verse adds another layer to the song, bringing in his own experiences and perspective. He talks about his wealth, the women he encounters, and the questions he faces about his lifestyle choices, such as why he has a twelve-car garage with only six cars. This verse continues the theme of living life to the fullest, regardless of what others think. The song's overall message seems to be about enjoying the moment and embracing the excesses that come with fame, while also subtly questioning the sustainability and consequences of such a lifestyle. The track's infectious rhythm and memorable lines have helped cement it as an anthem for those who fantasize about the rockstar life, even if just for the duration of the song.
