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

[CJ616]

I tried.

Can't get into it. Dude is like a mashup carbon copy of like 4 rappers. I still don't know who Travis Scott is. I just know who he's emulating.

Never listened to dude before. Downloaded this tape, and literally deleted the whole thing after it finished. I'm just not hearing it, man. His adlibs are cool, I guess.

 

[stopcappin]

Sloppy toppy is amazing man lol song is going to kill the club.... He needs to push that

Ye/Cudi/Future bastard child like I been saying.

I see him as more of a curator than an artist.

 the fact that he sounds like the bastard child of ye/cudi/future as awwesome so eloquently put is what made me first check for homie cant lie. but hol time if he did take a more Dj khaled/Diddy role he could craft an amazing collection of music.

 

[waitwut]

smh yall disrespectin travis dude aint no dj khaled he raps and makes his own beats dude barely even had any fts

he got the heavy cudi/ye influence but his sound is still unique/original

im glad a lot of yall **** with this doe

 

[killmoves301]

^dont get offended I'm a fan of la flame and as a fan I can say rapping isn't one of his strongest selling points. With His skill in pre and post production he wud be great at Musical curating. There I didn't reference Khaled

I though YE took his style not the other way around

Don't be fooled by Ye' stans.
Travis definitely influenced Kanye. A lot of that Yeezus sound was influenced by Travis.

I though YE took his style not the other way around

Essentially.

He had a hand in the sound of Yeezus.

It's somewhat common knowledge amongst certain circles. Hasn't really been hidden or anything.

Some fantastic production from these tracks. Much better than Owl Pharaoh

 

[meek meals]

This is dope.

At times he overdid the distortion but this tape has some slappers.

He has one of the best ears for production in the game.

This seems to be a common theme of the elite in the music business.

It's usually someone under them that's really the inspiration behind something.

Kanye did Cudi the same way. Drake is currently doing PND and The Weeknd the same way.

We all know about Dre. I guess the trade off is providing the artists with a platform to shine so I guess it's a win/win for everyone involved.

I just accept him as a luxury Thug/Future hybrid with better production

Cudi if he sold (or pretended to sell) drugs

 

[waitwut]

travis had his sound before young thug tho.. and eh future is kind of a reach

As fans we get so excited to champion our favorite artist but it's art and it's dope when talented people can learn from each other.

It's not a reach at all.

Dude had everybody thinking Future was on Blocka. 

 

[str8drop]

Yeah on Blocka this ***** sounded exactly like Future

My thing with Travis is you can def see his influences but sometimes it's turned up so much that it's almost to the point of blatant imitation. Like when I first heard dude I immediately wrote him off because he just sounded like he was doing his best Kanye impression, others times Cudi or Future.

His **** did grew on me tho, mainly his production, this ***** makes/picks out some nice *** beats point blank. I played Owl Pharoah a decent amount and don't know really any of the lyrics tho, I just zone out to the beat

Still haven't got around to this project yet and I was actually waiting on it, hopefully he stepped his bars up a little

 

[creamofdacrops]

I think the dope thing about Travi$ is that his flow always complements the beat extremely well. I feel like that's what makes his songs so good; he's not a great lyricist so his voice and the actual production just combine to make one beat that always seems to KNOCK.

This. I really dont know a single line of Skyfall but its still been stuck in my head all day.

my personal fave.

Man trav shoulda released this earlier this summer

 

[sohoguy]

That's what I'm thinking! Owl Pharaoh is the reason I was so excited for this tape. Dance on the Moon :x :x :x

"Moon light move when a N dance, peep a N Steeze from a N stance" , Owl pharaoh had heat on it, people just still sleep

 

[dat dude chris]

Finished listening to the rest of the mixtape earlier and it was good. He rapped more towards the back half of it. I really liked this mixtape but not more than Owl Pharaoh. I know I may be in the minority here but the features on this mixtape were trash. Only Big Sean & TI was cool and I dont even listen to him like that. Young Thug is ehhh, Quan, Migos and Peewee trash tho. If he wanted to go to with the trap rappers, he shoulda gotta a verse from Gucci

 

[trilluminated]

i was never a fan before today but there's no denying this **** rides..

i guess you could say he's somewhat filling the void left by cudi..

 

[deliciouscake]

Man I needed this. Right on time.

Skyfall been on repeat. The whole joint been on repeat
