Idk but his last few singles were the worst music he’s ever made
mafia and lost forever restored my faith in him honestly
He’s actually regressing. Each album is more water down and industry fed. He was better when it was organic/ dark before he blew up
i used to think this but i think astroworld is the only album where this fits but even that still has some songs that are some real trav s***. birds to me feels like an extremely personal album at least personal in the context of trav who just says random stuff in a lot of his songs
saying this about an artist that hasn’t released an album in half a decade is nuts
I don’t think certain people have the capacity to use context when it comes to talks like this
The thing with Travis is he relies on interesting production
Everytime you get a Travis song or feature on uninteresting production you see how unimpressive of an artist he is
yes but you could say that about almost anyone
this is y carti is rly the goat
he uses ghostwriters for albums for melody and cadences so his projects are good. his loosies,features are all by him so its trash and samey
You're asking why the guy who sold mcdonalds merch and meals with his music hasn't progressed with his sound lol
He wants to be mainstream and will keep doing what works. Hoping/expecting an artist like that will put out experimental left field s*** makes no sense. It's more than just the music/art for Travis he just wants to sell f***ing products and elevate his brand/business.
Nah his sound has progressed and become more experimental imo.
The only thing that travis is lacking are his lyrics. He doesn't rap about anything substantial. Even when he attempts to, its mostly about nothing (e.g. Coffee Bean).
U maybe just don't get coffee bean, basically about being in a relationship as a rapper with fame, pretty straight forward even lmao

the melodies are his, but good for trying a new angle of hating

No he just puts more effort into his albums
No he just puts more effort into his albums
I agree for the most part but there’s songs on Birds, Astro and especially HJ, JH that have pretty basic production and Travis sounds pretty weak on them

nothing wrong with working with other producers,songwriters. Travis's problem in his earlier career was erasing all the other producer/songwriter's credits to pretend he did it all alone.
he said it himself on sicko mode, he's the glue
he's like dj khaled
go search pick up the phone, coffee bean og references, travis is just rerecording what others recorded with few word changes

I’m aware of all of this, except pick up the phone I don’t see how he doesn’t come up with the melodies tho, reference tracks don’t mean they came up with them, just means they wrote lyrics
