    And I firmly believe he is a big part of the terrible commercialization of hip hop and the McDonald’s collab is truly capitalism imploding on itself....BUT!

    I can’t pretend the Rodeo and more importantly Days before aren’t amazing and literal f---ing classics. So many memories with both. The sound was fresh and new and there were amazing moments and artistry on these 2 projects. Owl Pharoah too honestly.
    Itt let’s talk about the songs from these projects and how much they b---

    Did you have the time of your life? Let’s have the after party at my place. Do you have some spare change on me? I got hundreds I’ll throw in your face!

    This is a top 5 song of the 2010s if you disagree we can Farkle/jmg idgaf

    I don't mind him being the poster child of commercial hip hop next to drake. At least he delievers album wise and his music still got soul in it (excluding some recent singles) unlike drake's. BITTSM got better with time and Astroworld is a great piece of work too. I don't care about that McDonalds thing, people shouldn't eat that poison in the first place. Feel kinda bad for the employees that have to deal with 15yr old ragers ordering travis' meal in the most r-----ed ways, even though the recordings on instagram always make me laugh :emoji_sweat_smile:

    This is my favorite example of his strength as a curator. I don't think anyone else ever thought of the idea of combining trap 808s and Thundercat's funky bass together, this blended out much better than I think even he expected.

    I don't mind him myself, he's not the iconoclastic groundbreaker most paint him out to be, but that's okay, he doesn't have to be one to begin with. Just let him have fun, and so should you, enjoy the $6.00 meal at a Mickey D's near you and tell em Cactus Jack sent you

    I tried to listen to his music but I don't know, I guess is not for me but I can see why people would love his work.
    I do like one song from him though.

    Rodeo has some GREAT joints on it but imo as an album it's not that great of a listen. The sequencing sucks, all the solo travis songs are awful besides antidote because it's swae lee karaoke. Most of the production and features are A1 which save it, but Astroworld is easily his best album imo. I liked Days Before a lot when it first dropped but other than a few songs (mamacita, drugs, skyfall) it hasn't had much replay value for me since.

    It’s funny, the OG Owl Pharaoh s--- that never saw an official release are actually the Travis songs I enjoy going back and listening to the most

    f---ing peak. Nobody captures contemporary moments in life quite like Travis. Nobody. So many snapshots of great times come from Rodeo, Birds and Astro.



    Gonna sound stupid but until you’ve actually been the highest in the room, with this playing, don’t tell me you understand this song. Travis is one of the most important artists of this generation. Don’t care how commercial he is. What he’s done since 2015 is unfuckingdeniable.

    Rodeo was unironically my fav album OAT for a while not only cause it was a classic record with life changing songs like 90210, nightcrawler, Maria I’m drunk etc but also cause it made me acknowledge trap as a great genre (used to listen to only a handful of rappers associated w Eminem and other lyrical miracle cornballs before). I guess I hold it up so high still cause it was an intro for great music to me:jordan:

    as squid said I think DBR, Rodeo and even BITTSM was the best Travis era. Never thought he’d become as big as he is now tho good for him.

    this is still an underrated classic:

    That McDonalds s--- is literally the McJordan repackaged. But it works. It’s perfectly marketed to sneaker reseller culture. I saw a video of a kid stealing the Travis Scott burger poster. We’ve already seen the power of that type of fast food viral marketing with the Mulan sauce, Popeyes chicken sandwich.

    This his his worst project imo by far. The time where I really just stopped checking for him. I will say that navs verse is amazing and putp is one of his best songs

    Reseller culture is also a huge problem. I think my grudge with Travis himself is that he brought in clout culture in a sense and kind of ruined things for people who actually care about the culture
