Cudi, since Travis took his whole sound

edit:

Between Ye and TI: Ye

Ye

TI. He was the only one willing to push the button on Travis’ career, no TI then no Kanye. Pretty much funded him all the way and vouched

It’s Ye. The Kanye association and being a GOOD Music artist did more for him than being a Grand Hustle artist. Features on cruel summer, producing a couple songs for Yeezus, etc.

Even Soulja Boy said when Migos first met Travis they werent fw him and he had to tell them that’s Kanye’s artist yall need to fw him

Kanye.

if travis didn’t have that grand hustle backing he woulda just been another theophilus london. TI the reason he had that thug/migos/future connection early on

People don't even realize that

The early Thug/Trav tour and all that

Correct and I think he also gave Travis the freedom whatever he wanted
Under Kanye he was first a producer
TI actually let him build

I think we're starting to forget how big of a deal being Kanye's protege was

And Travis repays him by cutting him off Quintana 2

I associate first seeing Travis with TI, I didn’t know of the Ye connection until ktt

I think he forced that himself
Not cause Kanye said so

Ye easily

This. Lock thread

This too. Because of TIP he met metro and all those ATL niggas and crafted DBR and rodeo.

And through ye he met mike dean. Might be 50/50

Dumbass question bro Travs whole aesthetic was Kanye

All good, DBR residuals just hit, Owl Pharaoh soon.

Astroworld, Birds, Rodeo, Huncho Jack, all the singles
f*** that feature

Kanye opened the door for him to have a cult fanbase the way he does today

Style don’t mean much lol. TI was approving s*** for him even Kanye couldn’t

ask young dro

Ye had Big Sean dropping major singles and albums and Chance the Rapper and Tyler gawking him

Travis was just the brightest of all this

Without TI and the moves he was making for Travis to spread his sound around in ATL and on radio, we don’t even get him taken seriously by Ye. Like someone else said, another Theo or Vic Mensa. TI had this nigga performing outside before the BET awards cause it was an opportunity. Ye just took pics with the nigga and syphoned his sound for Cruel Summer before he eventually blew with Antidote. Even Mike Dean did more with all them remixes he gave to Travis lol. No disrespect to Ye, cause once he was involved, he was greatly involved. But we can’t ignore the beginning

You ever heard Ye on a Travis trap beat? Nah, that nigga got on Piss On Your Grave lmfao

kanye got him the cult fanbase and t.i got him the opportunities a tossup tbh

its literally T.I., Travis was a producer at GOOD for what a year or two early on and really just closely affiliated from there. Every album and project up until Utopia was under Grand Hustle.
