The Braggadocio Beat of Post Malone's 'Wow.'

Post Malone's 'Wow.' is a track that encapsulates the artist's journey from obscurity to fame, and the lifestyle changes that come with success. The song's lyrics boast about wealth, luxury, and the recognition that Post Malone receives, reflecting a common theme in hip-hop of celebrating one's achievements and material possessions. The repeated exclamations of 'Wow' serve as a nod to the impressive and often unbelievable nature of his rapid rise to stardom.

The verses are filled with references to expensive cars, like the G-Wagen and the 720S, and to a lifestyle of excess, with 'hunnid bands in my pocket' and 'more bottles' indicating a surplus of money and partying. Malone also touches on the fickleness of fame, mentioning how people who were not supportive before his success are now congratulating him. This could be seen as a critique of the superficial nature of the music industry and the fair-weather friends that come with fame.

The song also includes cultural references, such as mentioning Mutombo, a nod to the former NBA player Dikembe Mutombo, known for his shot-blocking ability, and Prescott, referencing Dak Prescott, the quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys. These references serve to ground Post Malone's success in relatable terms, using sports metaphors to illustrate his dominance and resilience in the music industry.
