Any time I hear his name is “hating” on the low, and people on here quoting him line it’s Kendrick.

Yet he’s been afraid to release his own shyt for 15 years, just riding Kendrick’a dikk like he’s the one making his music
His verses are always fire when he does rap though

He basically calling it vibe music and he's not talking about shyt

To me, I love both types. Obviously the type of music that speaks to me AND is great sonically, are always the best to me personally.

Some people don't look for relatable content in music, they just want to zone out and have a good time and there's nothing wrong with that either imo.
And not for nothing. What Travis does is much harder to do than people want to give credit

When fans are there for your bars everything around the record can be mediocre. Banks last 2 projects have some of the worse mixing I’ve heard and his fans still celebrate it because the bars are there.

Kendrick dropped a bloated, dated album that his fans still ate up because of the lyricism was still there

With Travis, everything has to be perfect, the drums, the melody, the tempo, the feature placement, the hook has to be catchy

This is actually true but his two main idols are Kanye and Cudi. They literally make music sometimes that sucks sonically but the messaging is so powerful people have said it saved they lives.

Might be so, but dropping fire verses is not nearly as hard as creating fire songs and even worse, fire albums that people give a fukk about.

You can just go on youtube and youll hear freestylers from some weird country spit fire verses, but they can't create music.

yep. When Rodeo came out in like '15, i was like, "dude really wears his influences on his sleeves". 8 years later, nothing has changed :francis:

He does have some cool songs tho. But as far as a collective body of work goes, he still aint there

Symba has freestyles that go viral every other month. He has yet to create one song that people care about

Thing with them is they had something to actually say in their music. He just kinda took what they were doing from a sound standpoint. Not saying substance is above all but that’s a hook for people to keep rocking with you for a long time. One thing I can give Travis credit for is that although he hasn’t said anything super profound or anything is that the music itself sonically has kept people hooked for this long. The “It’s just a vibe” phrase really works for him and I can’t explain it better than that, as someone who has rocked with Travis since like Upper Echelon.

How y’all know it’s about Travis

What I was waiting for, Whether it was intended for him or not the fact everyone thought this was about Travis says it all ...

Apparently being vapid is what he's know for ha, Punch didn't even say "album" he said music.
