I think Travis got his sound from Cudi’s “just what I am”. Travis flow is literally the same template that Cudi uses on that song to this day.

That isn’t a bad thing though, artist use other artists sounds, build and expand it.

That’s the beautiful thing about music. Is it biting? I wouldn’t say necessarily if you can turn it into your own sound.

How come ktt never acknowledge when drake bite niggas only travis

Yeaaaaaaaaaaah!

I see that now

Nigga his entire body of work before birds was mostly biting other artists

Ye, Thug, Future, Migos, Cudi even Kendrick has been bitten shamelessly

Cuz drake dont bite 5 niggas whole s*** to make one song He may be using a flow or a couple bars here n there and thats it

Travis singing especially in his earlier work is him riffing off the style of 808s & heartbreak, and the hums and moans were stolen from cudi

His most popular adlibs were stolen from Thug and Big Sean

Thug
Future
Kanye
Cudi
Swae Lee

Drake stole from all those niggas too lmao

Nigga stop playin. You just being stubborn. Drake expanding some Kanye ideas and using the hashtag flow like the rest of the rap game did is not the same at all

Bro you brought up 808’s which is the album most people acknowledge as birthing drake. He also stole bits from those other artists as well. But somehow travis is the only one that gets called out lol

Kanye and Cudi the obvious ones

but I also think that his Future influence goes waaay too under the radar. I definitley hear Future in a lot of his vocals especially in Rodeo and DBR

I feel like that's unfair to say, he built off that s*** and evolved it in ways Cudi never did and maybe never could

Facts

swae lee is way more influential than people give him credit for

At this point Cudi does bite him. It’s such a weird shift. Travis in his early days was for sure influenced by Cudi, Kanye and a bunch of Atlanta based rappers. But, he found his own lane. Now he is one of the most bitten rappers ever. Tons of people try to copy him in rap and R&B.

Me

People don't make trap hits like this, I only know of Future & Thug that made trap hits this intense. Issa rare feat

some ppl would say Flockaveli but i prefer Future & Thug

wasn't Sloppy Toppy New Atlanta? How was he biting from that point onward when that song was apart of the whole New Atlanta sound?

Covered in money, March Madness
Blanguage, Danny Glover, Eww

When I think of Waka I think of Hard In the paint, these 2 are not the same

yea its not my style either.

i thought Eww was gonna be Thug’s biggest song yet when he premiered it lol

He's just a diet Cudi and early 2010's Kanye hybrid with some trap elements thrown in the mix, ideally packaged for your local teenage hypebeasts who lose their mind over "sanics" and "aesthetics", and basically fantasize about the carefree d*** fueled womanizing party animal lifestyle that his team sells.

They want to be Travis. The shy guy who idolized the same rappers they did and now hangs out with Kardashians.

Travis is not a multilayered artist. Kanye and Cudi show you the highs and the lows. The pain and the hangover.

Meanwhile Travis doesn't stand for anything, his personality is dry, his songs have no substance or meaning and he's a mediocre rapper who hides behind production and vocal effects.

There's no emotion in his voice, he doesn't address his internal struggles, relationships in a captivating/original way.. he's basically a bot.

His fans go crazy over Mike Dean's instruments (a progressive rock band member from the 1970's).
