I feel like a lot of it is just that Travis is much more popular than Carti, brand endorsements like Fortnite / McDonalds etc f***ed with his image
All those "Travis Scott saved my life" nerds in 2018 etc
Carti really doesn't say s*** at all and neither does Trav but Carti still benefits from being considered "underground" like Travis was in 2013 / 2014
people will turn on him eventually and bandwagon hate like they do with pretty much every artist nowadays
Not going to act like I read every post in here, but Carti came with WLR and basically broke some doors down for a whole rage/plugnb subculture. Built a label on it. Gave some of those producers careers. It's not pop. It's some insular weird s*** for nerds.
Travis Scott is going through Ye's trash and erecting statues of himself
i remember there was a post on here that said a nigga was literally shaking before he hit play on WLR
some these dudes are sick on here bro
I can’t even hate man, if I were an artist I’d f***ing pray to god I was blessed with d***eaters that thorough wit it

”Travis Scott is going through Ye's trash and erecting statues of himself”
it isn’t necessarily just the lack of substance and lyrical content for Travis, it’s that he’s painfully generic and injects little to no personality into any of his vocal performances whatsoever
it’s even worse because some references came out and some of these verses he didn’t even write at all, and instead just copy and pasted lyrics from it with no changes whatsoever lmao
Carti in between his vocal pitch shifts, ad libs and changing inflections, it’s all very unique and standout and you can tell that it’s Carti just how he utilizes his voice alone, which makes up for his lack of lyrical content
i still think he gets a lot of grace on this site anyways though cause niggas like to d***ride
spot on
i remember more lyrics from rockstar made than from the whole of utopia off the top of my head

I’ve read this sober and I’ve read this high, and you are absolutely cooking.
in a good or bad way

How is he generic
way too many niggas itt talking about lyrics compared to the amount of engagement actual lyricists get on this site
you niggas not slick!
Travis Scott has received backlash over the lack of lyrical substance across his career and especially recently with the release of UTOPIA
However, man like Carti has been releasing music about nothing (hide it in my sock ?? Molly my bean ????) for half a decade now but everyone seems to be okay with it
What makes Carti’s poor content acceptable ? Is it because he works with meme producers (Pierre Bourne and wake up filthy) ?
Carti does it better and we know what to expect from him. Travis since Owl Pharaoh was hyped up to be a Kanye like special artist and he hasn't lived up to that at all outside of Rodeo being a classic .

So lyrical substance stops him from being a Kanye type artist
Because Kanye is such a lyricist
How is he generic
how isn’t he generic lol
he raps about standard rap subject matter over grand psychedelic production, nothing in his writing tells you anything about him, there’s no wordplay, there’s literally nothing in there interesting
it’s just filler over prod, there’s nothing wrong with it inherently but it’s a valid complaint lmao, esp when some of you niggas try to paint the guy as if he’s revolutionizing hip-hop and shifting genre boundaries
