I hope this album and the success of it will finally inspire mainstream rappers to start actually trying with their music

I feel like this album is the start of the next phase of popular hip hop

Another AAA exec producer album with a mid no bars "rapper". Great direction for the genre. It's doing so well!

shut up re tard

The production is crazy and varied, the guests are great, but Travis at his core has absolutely nothing to say, he's had plenty of chances to step up his game but he's basically been talking about the same party for his entire career

And it has such smart fans too!

Lyrics havent been the focal point of most modern hip hop in years lmao im talking about pop rap

The scene of lyrical rappers is doing extremely well in its own right but iykyk

you should see that TDE punch thread, there’s fr niggas bringing up Miles Davis, James Brown and Nina Simone to defend the album from people complaining about the subpar songwriting

i just hope the high production direction goes elsewhere

Now yall care about travis songwriting you niggas are weirdos man

Any "is Trav the new Michael Jackson" threads? The one artist these dummies listen to besides Frank, Tyler, Ye, and Drake.

6/10 album

The features really are the best part of Utopia lol

He's building a brand. You can put whatever values and politics on top of him, he doesn't alienate any audience members.

this is my core problem with it

I like the risks took but Travis himself has no charisma on the track

They bout to say Trav needs to speak on social issues

ur right

there’s a thinkpiece on here with a dude unironically comparing f1thy to Quincy Jones and Carti to Michael Jackson actually

Wait, I thought we were listening to Travis for a new Jay Z album?

No, this is the new Ye album.

if travis doesnt recite the fibonacci sequence every bar its trash

Travis Scott really our last hope damn

He's been dropping Ye level albums since Rodeo

damn he real but i would compare carti to 07 wayne

I enjoyed the album but the amount of money put into this album is likely not within most artists budgets
