thanks fam, appreciated
Had conversations about Travis with some posters before, for example @threetwentysix
I get why ppl f*** with Trav.. most ppl are not trying to hear an artist that'll put them in deep thought whenever they want to listen to music, as that can be tiring. Travis provides pictures of hedonism, nightlife and youth culture, which can be perceived as motivation as well as escapism.
He does much more with his production and voice than most of his peers too.
Sonic wise, he's cut from the experimental cloth of GOOD music/Ye (at least mainstream wise) so that also helped his image. Plus as someone whose been following Travis from his early days, his growth has been fascinating to watch

True, most of his projects are artsy and he has a little bit of Kanye and Cudi in him. Used to think he was a biter but as time went on I noticed more and more artists biting him, which obviously goes to prove that he had a distinctive sound.
i’m not even tryna diss travis
i like travis
i get that he just makes hype music. i’ve been a mega fan since OP days
i just looked up his lyrics and thought it was funny how he’s barely saying anything

Then again plenty of rock bands have nonsensical lyrics and still get all the love in the world.

COFFEE BEANS is a decent surprisingly introspective song from him.

Highest In the Room is super deep if you pay attention
90210 doesnt even make sense. “Granny called she said ‘Travie you work too hard I’m worried you forget about me.’ I’m fallin in and out of cars don’t worry imma get it granny” ???
Just imagine that conversation play out Travis basically just saying f*** you grandma i’m in all these sick ass cars i’m getting breaded up and s***
I'd say the message here was a quite wholesome one
His granny is worried about his health to due to all the work he puts in. He says "sure granny I get what you're saying but I'm in these fancy cars so the hard work is worth it"

he made it out the hood?
people need to get away from the way of thinking that music has to be about something meaningful to reach the masses and be successful. Dozens of musicians have proven otherwise.
the funniest s*** is niggas saying "music can be about nothing and be successful gtfo"
lmao so? OP just asked what the f*** the nigga rapped about
he made it out the hood?
White kids call their suburban neighborhood hoods now
