You’re absolutely right haha. I’m grown. He ain’t my cup of tea
I’m grown is such an excuse. I feel like an old head could vibe to anything. Just say you married or irrelevant. I’m not equating trap to funk but it’s close it’s more on the feeling (bass but in this case 808s bass drum and hi hats). I don’t know the lyrics to forget me not by patrice rushen but that’s a vintage equivalent of a vibe. It just hits you.

Ehh that metrics shyt only goes so far, when the algorithms are biased trash

It's always gonna be hit or miss. Just look at the bullshyt most of these companies are putting out nowadays

I mean the metrics allows his talent and marketing reps to go to companies like Hersheys/General Mills, McDonalds, Sony, Epic, Nike, etc... and say "According to our data, Travis is capturing these demographics (that these companies REALLY want to get), marketing him with limited edition merchandise can yield X amount of profit for this quarter.." or whatever.

Trap and funk sound nothing alike my guy. If it did then I’d be more into it. Funny cuz I listen to a lot of music with funk influences and used to make music like that myself. You making a lot of assumptions based on me not liking one artist that you like haha. Travis Scott is a guy who waste beats imo cuz he ain’t saying nothing of substance even though the beats are crazy. I’m an introspective dude and that’s how I tend to like my rappers. Travis Scott is not introspective in his music regardless of the vibe. That’s why I don’t rock with it. Throw on some Masego or something then we can talk.

I never said trap and funk are alike I even explained my analogy in detail. Nas is my favorite rapper, he’s introspective. So are you and myself. Travis is part of this new school with the playboi cartis, etc. More of get the party jumping and vibing. Denzel Curry may be more your speed. Hip hop is too diverse and still very black to have such a negative attitude. Emcees will always prevail but not everybody got be an emcee.

his music is not my cup of tea, his shoes are fire, the mcdonalds stuff is confusing, but ultimately, he seems like a guy who gives you no reason to hate on him. a solid breh that people vibe with. probably some jenner stimulus as well. nothing wrong with that.

His career is rife with stories of him biting styles and stealing beats though :russ:
