In my opinion, this album has aged wonderfully and is showing no signs of slowing down. The songs are all hits, the INTRO(the ends) is one of the greatest hip hop intro songs of all time and it leads to way back(also one of the greatest transitions, has Cudi humming and was sampled by Uzi) There are no serious low points, and we have La Flame at his greatest level of rager energy that we've ever seen.
Rodeo is definitely his best album, but the cuts on here and lucent features are outstanding and provide a breath of bona fide ebullience. Birds established a standard in hip hop that few artists have been able to surpass.
Just listen to the ends with me real quick to appreciate this greatness
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Yo this is where that classic definition confuses me. Like does an album need to be monumental for it to become a classic or can a great ass nearly perfect album be one as well? Like I know some people would say Trav has no classics cause of time but some would say that Rodeo is at least the one classic he has I guess time will tell, but I LOVE this album. SDP, Sweet Sweet & First Take are some of my favorite songs from Trav.
Loved it on initial release
Grew tired of it come winter
Revisited it not too long ago, sad to say it aged like milk
the lows were sooooo low
I just don't understand how this man went from Rodeo to Birds...idk what he was thinking lmao

antidote gave him some attention and money
The first 7 tracks on Astro demolish Birds lol
And it’s not even close
And it’s not even close
I stg if those tracks were the only songs on the album (a la 2018 GOOD Summer) it'd be one of the best trap projects ever
