Travis Scott Thread: ("Utopia" OUT NOW!)

[alexody]

Expecting anything superior to what he has put out is asking to be disappointed.

He's working with better artists and producers, don't know why we shouldn't expect better.

I gotta give props to all the producers on this album. Easily one of my favorite albums this year production wise.

I do find it funny Travis barely had anything to do with it though. He's not a good rapper, doesn't really produce much either so what exactly is his talent?

Sonically I find it a good album but I feel it would've been just as good if not better if Travis' parts were replaced with verses from whatever rapper he's biting at the time.

 

[alexody]

Dude been doing this since Owl Pharaohs, he's essentially a modern day type of Dr. Dre/Yeezy. If you seen the clip of him and Metro making Skyfall that's basically his involvement in production.

It's funny you say that cuz I would rather him replace the singers he was mimicking with actually good singers.

Anyone catch the Chantel Jeffries ad libs on 902010?

 

[dontbelikethat]

Happy to have new music to slap. Personally think the album goes hard.

 

[Gordonson]

It was cool off of the first spin, but it gave me the feeling that a stronger album could've been built from the other songs still on his computer.

The "Man on the Moon" inspired narrations also made me feel like this could've been a much stronger album in terms of actual cohesion and theme. This could've been his Man on the Moon, and cemented him.

Nothing wrong with him not taking this route, but I can't help but feel like he could've made his debut album a more special occasion, like that album was.

I always thought he could do beats too but he does like Diddy do. And like someone previous said like Kanye do now.

That beat on "Maria I'm Drunk" sounding like the beat that could have been Mike Myers killing song. Fire!

 

[Brownstone]

I have a hard time believing Travis didn't executive produce this album. Alot of the tracks morph into elaborateb beat varations, and that is what I liked so much about yeezus.

 

[D.Josey]

I think it's safe to take Owl Pharaoh and DBR out of the thread title now, lol..

More like Mike Dean

I'm halfway thru this and the rapping is so-so (not surprising), the production is crazy tho

 

[waitwut]

him and mike co produced the whole album laflame takes a beat and tweaks the hell out of it he can produce but if he chooses not to doesnt mean he cant

OP with the Thread title update

 

[shotsrangout]

second half of Apple Pie with the OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOHHHHHHHHHHH sample is so dope 

 

[alexody]

 

[dat dude chris]

Wtf even that beat was kinda hard
This guy Travis has been blessed with great production before he even stepped in a booth

 

[waitwut]

young goat

Damn, Travi$ Scott.. puts it into more of a prospective. Homie is for real. The way he flowed with the beat is crazy.

 

[Belgium]

and who is dude trying to mimic

the album sounds like nothing else right now

Is this a serious question? 

He mimics other rappers on damn near every other song.

Rap game ditto

The album doesn't sound like anything else right now because of the production.

Biting cudi with the narration

Biting Drake on Dis Side

Biting Swae Lee extra hard on Antidote

Biting Chief Keef and Swae Lee on Night Call

Kanye on Apple Pie

Those were the most obvious to me.

The only real "Travis" sound that I would specifically attribute to him is songs like Pornography. On most songs with features he just reminds me so much of other rappers to the point it bothers me.

All i wanted out of this album was bangers. Days Before Rodeo was better to me.

Travis can't rap i knew this going in. So all i wanted was some good work out songs. Its solid but i wanted more.
