Pogo is an electronic musician that uses the YouTube platform to get his music out. Pogo also known as Nick Bertke is a music producer and remix artist from Western Australia.
He made his Youtube account in 2007 and on his bio it states,
Back in 2013, there was a crazy rivalry between Marina and the Diamonds and Lana Del Rey. They were both gaining a huge amount of popularity at the same time while being in the same genre. Lana had a more indie pop style while Marina focused more on electro-pop. I don’t know if the fans created the opposition or there was tension about who would be more popular. Comparisons shot through the roof and it could only cause drama.
Check out the similarities here:
Throughout the years these two have grown to crush these comparisons and it might have been the start of a great friendship.
Earlier this year they were shown hanging out together on their Instagram posts:
I am praying to God that they collaborate soon. Marina hasn’t released music since her 2015 release, FROOT and I have been patiently awaiting her to top herself and give us another great concept album.
But I still do love covers because it takes the original song and turns it into something different and unique. I don’t know if I would say unique anymore because it contradicts what is actually taking place. Besides that, I think covers actually remind us of quality in the original song.
Listen to some of these covers here, but keep it in mind that covers are not always a compliment when it is degrading the first singer.
For some reason, T-Pain decided to cover Cardi B’s recent hit “Bartier Cardi.” When I first read the headline I was confused as to why T-Pain would even cover this song in the first place since their rap styles are so entirely different. But after I heard the snippet, I can tell that T-Pain had a vision for this song.
Listen to the original here if you haven’t already:
Here is T-Pain’s snippet of the cover that Cardi posted to her Instagram account:
T-Pain wrote on his Instagram post, “It’s TMix Season,”and it certainly is. It is different from the “swag” that Cardi throws on the track. T-Pain gives the song a more autotuned feel, as always. There is also a lyric change, which I am not too excited about, but it would have been awkward if T-Pain was talking about giving “top” to rapper Offset, who Cardi is currently engaged to.
Currently, there is no release date for the full remix, but you know I am going to listen to it when it comes out. Who knew that two different artists could come together to create something so distinct? T-Pain really took a typical 2018 song and sent it back to 2009.
Post Malone, or Postie, has gotten a lot of popularity in the last few years. His stage presence is what sets him apart from other people in the industry. He is not afraid to get silly and weird on stage, while also dressing in borderline ridiculous clothing. He is not just talented, but he has a huge sense of humor.
Just check out how funny he is here:

Since he is such a huge comedian or tries to be at least, I could only imagine the antics he got into in high school. He is only 22 so it was not that long ago. I am almost shocked to hear that Post is only 22 because I am only a year younger than him and he has an unbelievable amount of success for someone in their early 20s. Yeah, I’m slightly jealous of him.
The internet has surfaced photos of him when he was in high school and it’s pretty funny to see young Post.
He honestly seems like the class stoner, which I wouldn’t put past him. I bet he won “class comedian.” I would hate to have Post Malone, or should I say Austin Post, in my graduating class without befriending him. That high school reunion is going to be lit, and hopefully, they will include a performance of “Rockstar.”
