Relative to what music fans expected Travis to drop after all of the controversy… yea this is definitely left
No one is saying this s*** is Yeezus or TPAB lmao
It’s all relative. This album is left field for Travis because it sounds nothing like any of his three studio albums. The closest comparison that it is for him is Owl Pharoah, but that was his debut project that released 10 years ago.
I think every rap fan was just expecting him to play it safe and release Birds/Astroworld Part 3
Seemed like Astroworld 2 to me but it just went a slightly further out/darker with the psychedelic stuff, it was very much what was expected though, just another vapid empty project hiding behind features and grand production swings
I guess the most unexpected thing was him doing all the remixes of Ye songs but idk if that’s “left field” to do covers
It's not being dense. Y'all just desperately tryna hype this album up to be more than what it is.
I’ve been in your shoes before except I actually knew what I was talking about
I’ll be the first to critique this album. It has its fair share of good and bad
But one thing that anyone who was paying attention to the conversations being had after the astrofest tragedy should agree with, is that we fully expected him to drop another polished, tour album with silly fun songs in order to protect his brand
He did not do that
That’s not to say this album doesn’t have those, but they are not at the forefront of the album and weren’t made to be essential to the album
I don't think Travis can replicate Astroworld. S*** was a moment.
the stars were aligned for him to surpass astroworld if the tragedy never happened

You say “hiding behind” as if executing an expansive album isn’t a skill in its’ own right.
Also can we stop with the criticism of Travis’s subject matter when there are numerous high profile rappers who talk about the same empty s*** and never get criticized for it?
Speaking on the thread topic though I think he's gonna get back in to that marketing / branding bag
He just posted this on this IG a few days ago, talking about Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed, two of the biggest streamers right now
Last time he hopped in the streaming space was Fortnite and that led to his event in the game
It's gonna be hard for him to get Coachella back, if they are difficult he might not hit that stage for a few years

Nigga gonna sign Kai Cenat to Cactus Jack
Utopia better than that mid asstroworld for sure. Aoty tbh
On astro it felt like he has more focused on being artsy, uptopia he was focused on just making great songs
I feel the opposite bro
Nigga gonna sign Kai Cenat to Cactus Jack
be thankful cause them niggas was about to sign adin
Nigga gonna sign Kai Cenat to Cactus Jack
Would be hilarious
Need him to get back to that 2018 popularity

This is a goddamn lie because on its release all over Twitter and this damn forum people were saying "The Yeezus influence is heavy all throughout the project"...you had people calling it a diet or more accessible Yeezus

not what he's saying
just because its obviously retrospectively influenced by Yeezus does not mean its entirely unconventional or left field
He just dropped a fire album
But if he ever say rolly polly on my wrist again I’m gonna smack that nigga

Travis is the reason why Yeezus sounds the way it does but that's another discussion
not what he's saying

Back to the drawing board to actually drop good music
sure if you have drilled ears and don't get tired of the same trap sounds over and over
Bro I fwu but this post a miss, it doesn’t sound like most mainstream hiphop albums production wise that’s just not true for a majority of the album
Would be hilarious
Need him to get back to that 2018 popularity
I know it’s selfish but would love if his popularity calmed down
2018 Sicko mode era was a tough time to be an adult fan lmaoo, I’m glad it seems he doesn’t hold the title for worst fanbase anymore
