People hate on Travis way too much for dropping on commercial album (still great) and not putting effort into side projects. He's still creative and passionate about making good music
most pharrell, kanye and trav music is commercial tho. people hating on commercial artists for dropping commercial music sound stupid lol
Chris Brown makes the same song over and over
Couldn’t be more incorrect
he found his sound, but never evolved with it
Is this s*** about Jay not writing his bars down and only doing one takes forreal?
One take no but no pen yes
so why do you think so many people and legends still want to work with him and go out their way to praise him?
it's not like they need him commercially or he's some new hot wave, they've been doing this for Push for 20 years. you don't think there's a reason for that?
look at ye, he doesn't need them, but he produced daytona, put push on Runaway, had them finish Jesus is King, got don c to have them perform the whole of HHNF for him and gave that pusha t is everything speech.
Pharrell's done the same, you don't think there's a reason for that?
Hes a great rapper.
But without anything to generate interest, no one cares.
You weird
I spend the majority of my days on an online hip hop forum talking about The Weeknd. What's new here?

Great point, I'm not quite as educated on Pharrell's music, but at least for Kanye, I just don't think he'd make something as generic as Who What for example, and I feel like his interpolation of Cell Therapy was lacking compared to others. I shouldn't be hating, I did reply like Astroworld overall

that's true for almost every rapper tho lol.
music needs marketing. having ye as your hypeman is a great a marketing plan
his biggest projects like Daytona and HHNF aren't carried by features, so it's not like he's musically carried by features.
he does more numbers and streaming than some projects with big producers on. so he has a base beyond kanye and pharrell stans

Why does that mean you have to fish for quotes by saying false things
I don't think FBZ fell off after BOD.
I also disagree with the notion that the complexity of lyrics of the rappers you listen to had any relationship with your own intelligence. I also disagree with the concept of intelligence, but this isn't the time and place.

some of that comes down to lyricism tho. Breathe in Breathe Out is more generic than almost every Kanye beat in the early 2000s and has a generic Luda hook. The only thing that stops it being completely generic are kanye's verses.
But yeah, he's not making as many unique tracks as Kanye to make up for it. He still does some unique things on Astroworld tho. it's not all music by numbers

Because I lack the real word gratification that comes with having real people value the things you say so instead I turn to online communities where I know the majority of things I say won't be shot down and maybe just maybe someone will enjoy something that comes from the persona of Thomas
An artist with tons of smash hits, countless awards, iconic tours, top selling albums isn't underrated. They're underappreciated.
he found his sound, but never evolved with it
This is awfully subjective.
You know another Chris song that sounds like Come Together?
