Jul 27, 2020·2 replieshis numbers are really inflated for his last album. Plus astroworld according to him is his 5th solo album. Keep in mind he had a big label already behind owl pharaoh till now.
Jul 27, 2020Travis quality goes down by the album but commercial success is correct

He said he doesn’t do mixtapes but they’re essentially mixtapes.
This kinda feels like semantics to try and take away from the point in op
THIB 🦌Jul 27, 2020Idk about quality and commercially but I do know that no rapper in the same room as Travis has been hungrier.

Then that should make it obvious how he has reached those heights so quickly. I would hope the artist who had major industry backing and support for his first two mixtapes would eventually make it to a high level.
Having knowledge of that doesn't really make the feat as impressive to me though

Bro what?
Almost all the people in OP have had major industry behind them before their first album.

quadraNo, Travis will not leave the game as a Top 10 rap artist ever.
Exactly, you gotta wonder what these boys hear sometimes.

but why are not judging them as albums when he had a huge label behind him from day one as well as cosigns from ti kanye etc.?? He even had a "feature" on yeezus lmao
The boundary between album and mixtape isnt what it used to be, they're essentially the same thing. If anything you get a huge jump start by releasing mixtapes prior to albums.
But lets say for debates sake that they are mixtapes, (really doesn't matter if they are) he still had high quality production and engineering from some of the biggest names, he had features from big name people, and had cosigns from big name artists as well. It was treated 100% like a studio album when making it, he just decided it would be better to make it free. So essentially by not judging that as an album you're giving him a huge headstart which is why saying "look what he's doing 3 albums in" is kinda ludicrous.
Not trying to discredit the guys success, just saying he's not in the same realm as those guys and you're leaving out a lot of context on why he's had good numbers on his "third" album

exactly why I find it hard to call them mixtapes. I don't care what wikipedia says, those projects were treated like albums. He was given a budget, and a budget for shooting videos. He released lead singles. Treated just like a studio album
