What's your top 5/10 favorite Travis songs breh?

For the record, I like Travis but I don't see him as a top 5 level talent or whatever. DBR and Rodeo are good. Haven't heard the rest.

You gotta listen to the rest then bro. It's been a while btw, hope you're doing well.

Top 5?

Through the Late Night
Don't Play
Oh My/Dis Side
Sicko Mode
Quintana Pt. II

but it's subject to change man...there are maybe a handful of songs across all 5 projects that I don't like.

poor mans version of Kanye West using autotune 247

Since his career started he's been making better music than Kanye (from like 2013 onwards). So what if he uses autotune? Nobody uses it better than him.

Right...this is an opinion.

Since you haven't given any names, I feel even more reassured in my statement in the OP.

I just listed a bunch of things he's elite at doing barring the lyricism and you skipped right over it.

Maybe you're one of those Tech N9ne fans...

He has one of the best sounds his mind and ear for sounds from instrument to vocals are elite but what’s really hampering him is his lyrics and subject matter

What street is he from ?

What does he do ?

What school did he go to if at all
Whonhe got issues with .. ?

I don’t know nothing that’s going on in his life, all greats told stories , the elite told their own personal stories and what they are going through and how they living. If he had better lyrics he would be able to shyt out undeniable classics.

A lot of rappers are ducking the real ..either for fables or to be a musical infomercial

I don't think every rapper is responsible for doing the same shyt. Some rappers like to rep their locations heavy. Some are introspective. Some are socio-political. Some just rappity rap. I agree Travis could do more, but it doesn't hinder him imo. What does hinder him is that his lyricism isn't that incredible.

Redman is often accused of lacking in subject matter but he's on a lot of GOAT lists.

Respect your stance though.

Cant say that. Dude has sharked too many styles. But he does have one of the best teams around him and he deserves all his accomplishments off his work ethic though

:dame:

Haha nah bro now that I think about it. He's spoken on stuff that matters to him like experiences with women and especially Kylie on this new album. But not close to what you're referring to. Again, doesn't matter to me that much. For you it does, and I can understand that.

Man came out around that time with Owl Pharaoh but it was TRASSSHHHHHHH

You could argue he's a top star on the cusp of being a superstar if you believe there can only be like at max 7 Superstars if each region has their own

:stopitslime:

He hadn't refined his sound/style yet but it was far from trash, come on now.

Some of his best songs are on there...Blocka La Flame, Hell of a Night, Bandz, Upper Echelon, Quintana. It is his worst project though.

I think Astroworld has catapulted him to superstar status. Numbers are there, critical acclaim is there.

I wouldn't even consider Drake, Cole or hell, even Travis new school. It's been almost half a decade on Travis, bruh.

Either way, nah. Uzi is far ahead of him. XXX was ahead in terms of talent and versatility, especially with Travis liking the whole punk-rock shyt.
Imo it’s actually pretty insulting to compare dudes like that to Travis and I’m not even a huge fan of the guy. Uzi and X don’t have any projects on the level of DBR, Rodeo, and Astroworld.

If we look at solo discography from 2013 onwards....Kanye has released Yeezus, Pablo, Ye. Meanwhile, Travis has released Owl Pharaoh, DBR, Rodeo, Birds and Astroworld.

None of Ye's albums IN THAT TIME SPAN are as good as DBR, Rodeo, Birds or Astro. None.

That was my point. I'm not saying early Ye was not better, because he obviously was better. But even then, DBR is a flawless mixtape. Literally one of the best ever made. Rodeo is a great album and so is Astroworld. I think over time, those can hold up as well as some of Ye's best work. I don't think the comparison is outlandish.

Uzi has better projects and makes way better music. better songwriter, delivery and just overall.
