Because his hit single is a testament to us regular folks who are tired of the fake people and posers that infest our cities, nightlife, events, and industry.

Hip Hip Hooray!

You think about men too much Blisk. lol

he sounds like a whiny bitch to me

cause he's cooler than you
:P

Fixed? lol

I was gonna say the same thing.

It's because his style is a little different then we are used to hearing.

You guys were supposed to say, "What, do you think you're cooler than him?"

I agree Blisk. So weird.

His style is different? Just because he sings about "drug dealer girls"?

His flow is different, it's like back street boy meets a metro sexual rapper and becomes one.

When I first heard him I was like, this is some poppy kiis fm shit, but it grew on me a little bit.

thats cool. sounds like hipster pop to me.

but i see mad djs on his nuts who are hating on other top 40 acts. worst.

Blisk, Mike Posner is the WHITE DRAKE. There, I just saved everyone 100 hours of bitching!

i can't really argue this one.

it's because the chicks like his music and there the ones who would pay for his music..

I think the Rock it scientist remix of drug dealer girl is fire, i spin mostly top 40 so im down with Posner as an artist but i have seen interviews and as a person i think he's a clown

Girls request him alot. If it fits the set, then why not...

Haha

Does that make weezy the black alien?

weezy is the black Kid Rock.

i honestly dont see a problem with him...i mean i was put on game about him a couple years ago when he dropped that track "Losing my mind" but then again his voice is unique...doesnt sound like any1 out rite now..plus labels and the industry dont care about ur talent or wat u talk about...they care about ur fan base...nd his sir..is very big!

Yeah, and everyone up here seems to sing along.

cools. I don't want to hear any bieber or soulja bashing from you fools.

Eenie Meanie still gets requests... but thats an SK/BIEBER track.

i still play "Somebody to love remix" most of the time i spin

I roll with him cause he's from Michigan & he at least sounds like he puts some effort into his music and content... Him being the white drake is pretty spot on. He's a perfect crossover, genre-blending artist. Wierd voice, good tunes.

DETROIT PRIDE!!!

I think you mean he's the Male Lady Gaga.. come to think of it no one has seen Lady Gaga and Mike Posner in the same place at the same time.. hmmmm.

I'm with blisk on this one. This guy has no talent, pop garbage beats + horrible voice.. come to think of it Lady Gaga has more talent than this dude.. hes more the male Ke$ha.

Dman Action.

His voice his hurting. Justsayin.

DRAKE is BLACK?

Maybe I gotta adjust my video settings.

For everyone hating on Posner, kill yourself. He has talent as a artist and producer. His new track Please Don't Go is blowing up!! Electro pop is big right now. I like his music because it's how music should sound REAL! Check out this video of him creating the beat from scratch. Keep hating cuz whatever he's doing is working

Watchwww.youtube.com

LOL

So you're saying his beats are fantastic?

Where did he say that??

Personally id rather listen to an artist that made his own beat, wrote a song, and performed it himsefl, rather than a song by soneone who bought a beat from dre, had jay z ghostwrite, and has lil wayne on the remix

so he can make beats.. but he cannot sing. do you see why people have a problem?

not really

personally. i could give a fuck less what they did with the track.

Good music is good music regardless.

He reminds of a not so soulful Robin Thicke or Jamiroquai...

white pop singers often go for that Falsetto thing... and its been working since
Barry Gibb...
granted his range (with his style) seems very limited...I always think he's whispering.

but he's a Pop act.
and what are pop acts designed for?
10-25yr old women.
so, he's hitting on all pistons in that dept.

if he writes, arranges and performs his own music, I certainly respect that as an
artist in this day in age.

he's a songwriter, producer & singer. He co-produced every track on his album. He's not some puppet listening to the labels and just creating a hit. I think his lack of singing should make up for his skill as an artists. There aren't many artists that I can say song write, produce and sing. As just a DJ i respect that. That just means he's passionate about his music.
