Travis Scott is the only rapper that I feel is genuinely overrated,

I’m a Travis fan but everything Travis does is juiced with well thought out marketing and PR. Nothing he does feels like it’s actually being carried and consumed by the culture. Utopia felt like a dud without the Carti feature, Astroworld was carried by Sicko Mode.

He takes songs from other artist, he’s carried by features, He’s a bundle merchant. Kardashians, Nike, McDonald’s, WWE, everything he does is propped up by marketing and PR

He’s the first artist that I’ve seen bundle his way to a #1 song that fell completely off the charts the next week :dead:

Travis is a superstar but it doesn’t feel like he’s a superstar because of his music performance

With the recent billboard changes, he's now flopping, the bundles and tactics he was pulling ain't working anymore.
With that being said, I think he does a great job with his shows so I can understand the hype :yeshrug:
He was bad at Coachella, he basically has the white boy ragers on lock so his concerts are going to look crazy

I don’t think he can drop and an album that can flop because it’s going to have so many gimmicks and stolen songs that it’s always going to have something that breaks through

He fell off after birds in the trap sing Brian mcknight.

Starting with astroworld he was just doing straight up Neanderthal babble. How many SZA songs is he going to ruin :scust: ? Yall heard that bullshyt he phoned in on Type shyt :hhh:

Can’t lie I agree with you OP

Owl Pharoah, days before the rodeo, and rodeo are special albums.

:snoop: He genuinely makes soulless music now. He found a formula and it’s straight up bland now.
It’s all corporate. Travis Scott could really be AI in 2025 and I don’t think it will feel any differently

Nothing he did on Carti’s album had any impact.

You know exactly what you're gonna get with Travis to the point he's become parody, down to the adlibs, and the reverb.

I thought Birds was dope and Astroworld was right up there with Rodeo to me. Utopia was a 2 pack of ass though.

I’m telling you man, nothing he puts out whether it’s features or songs sounds like it has any creative passion behind it. Nothing unique or innovative, its all just massed produced “Travis Scott formulaic music”

Flopping?

I mean, he'll do less first week of course cause 5-600k with pure streaming is kinda hard, it's like a billion streams in a week.

But his sold out tours, youtube views and whatnot are still real.

I mean if you can sell 300k 100 dollar merch hoodies (including a download link) you obviously have a lot of fans.

Everything is meticulously thought out, planned, produced, executed etc except for his performances. Not just live...his album performances/vocals aren't good either. He's like a (semi) sentient 300 million dollar summer blockbuster that is ass.

He's also running a sweat shop over there, stealing songs and beats from an army of writers/producers which means he'll have hot shyt to jump on for years.
